<2009.05.22> (Poetry project)





<2009.05.21> Chapter 1: In this chapter, it says that the father left home to fight off the demons. The demons in this book are the British armies. Demons were really dangerous at that time for them because they even invaded the middle kingdom, which they call it China. Everybody is sad because he is living. But he said to them that it is for the children. And he left with his long spear on his shoulders with confidence. Mother wanted to cry. She tried to hide her sickness (coughing) because she thought it could make Cassia's father to worry about her during the fight between the demons. Mother got kind of mad too.

Chapter 2: His brother, a crybaby called Foxfire were asking the reason why his father has to fight for Machus, the ruler of them. So he said to Foxfire not to be stupid and told him that the demons are the bad ones. Mom was serious at most of the time except when she was reading books to the children. One of the books she read to them is about the white serpent and the wanderer. There was one snake-spirit woman and the wanderer. Later, they marry each other. And by the priest, the snake-spirit woman turns into a white serpent. They left the priest behind and they went back to the tower with their son.

Chapter 3: There was a friend called Aster to them. She was in the group of Strangers. When Manchus conquered the Middle Kingdom, he forced people to leave the coast so they couldn’t help the troops loyal to the old emperor, who had taken over some islands. Some of those people who settle there were called the Strangers. But Aster was actually very kind. She cared about Cassia's mom very much. She knew that she was sick so, she even brought her some soups to have in a bowl. But still, Cassia's mother was keep on coughing and coughing and it was getting more serious and serious.

Chapter 4: Uncle Windy is in control of Cassia. Later, he calls women to bind Cassia’s feet. But Cassia was able to break it so that Cassia could not get the pain. I think the women that comes out in this book is ridiculous. Marrying just because of money really doesn’t matter. Being painful during marriage is not good.

Chapter 5: Now Cassia and Foxfire were in despair. They lost most of the people who were close or related to them. Cassia had to take care of Foxfire by herself. It was a hard thing. Although it was a hard thing for her to control everything, she acts like a grown up adult. She is optimistic.

Chapter 6: Aster and her family also help Cassia and Foxfire to find their mom’s ability to cure sickness. And in the warfare where father and spider are, there were problems too. Because they betrayed the soldiers, father got shot in his leg. But it was ok. It was for the profits.

Chapter 7: Cassia’s father is really poor. Now, he can’t use his legs at all. Because of the fact that he can’t use his legs, he can’t join any missionaries for Cassia and Foxfire. And he can’t fight for the demons. But still, he thought positively like Cassia and Foxfire did. He had high expectations about them. It was very dangerous when Cassia and Foxfire when into the field of god when there were fight between Phoenix clan and the Young clan.

Chapter 8: Soon, Dusty and Cassia’s father were surrounded by the phoenix clan people in the village. But Dusty had great fighting skills so they were safe. And later he guarded the gate of the village. But they couldn’t stop them. One reason was because Cassia’s father couldn’t use his leg. Unfortunately, they left with throwing the father’s pride away.

Chapter 9: Phoenix clan was planning for the last attack to take over every crop. And the Youngs were planning to defend it. In the Youngs, Cassia came over and make some ideas and plans, and she argues about it. Her father and brother told Cassia to stop it because it could be dangerous for her if she does that. And they worked behind again in the three willows......

Chapter 10: All crops dead, and fire all over places…… Everything were gone although the fight ended. They didn’t know what to do. Again in desperation…… But they plan to plant them again and grow them back. And this idea was brought up by Aster and his husband.

Writing Gym (warm-up), 2009.03.31 1. Suppose you had invented a time machine. Write a story about what you did with it.

I am Elliot. I am the genius scientist who lives in England. I invented many things, but I am most famous of time machine. The time machine is called Elliotime. By using Elliotime, anybody can go to the past or future. But there's a limit. People can only go 3000 years to the future from now or 3000 years to the past from now. So what I did is I went back to past and saw people's life. It was similar with the history book that was in my home. There were wars going on and of course the disease called plague was going on. I also saw the future. Cars were flying everywhere in the sky and there were robots doing the housework for people.

Many people liked the time machine I made. People came to use my time machine for many reasons. Some people came to go to the past because their job was a archaeologist. Some stupid people came to me and asked,"Who will I marry?" and went to the future. I had lots of fun by the time machine. Next time, I should make a time machine that could travel more than 3000 years.

<English 3 page essay>

These days in English class, we read a book called “I, Juan de Pareja”. It is written by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino. Elizabeth was born in California. She wrote many books like ‘Nacar the White Deer’, ‘The Greek of Toledo’, and ‘Casilda of the Rising Moon’. ‘I, Juan de Pareja’, the book we read is about one slave called Juan. He was the slave of a great Spanish painter called Diego Velazquez. He had hard time before he met Diego Velazquez and even after he met Diego Velazquez. There will be a short autobiography about Juan in the next paragraph or so.

Juanico had a mother called Julema, but one day she died. It was when Juan was five years old. That’s how he became a slave. Basically he became a slave because there were nobody who could take care of him and he had not enough money to live. He didn’t have a place to sleep either. He misses sleeping in his mom’s arms. If I was Juan I think I can’t live because of the sadness. But he always thought positively and he met a good master and a good mistress.

As I said, Juan got a good master and a good mistress. Even though the mistress was capricious, she taught Juan many things. Maybe attitudes and things like that. But the most important thing is that she thought Juan how to write and read. The master was always nice to Juan. But later, they died too. Juan was so sad. He had no reason of living.

Juan had hope. He met a man called Don Carmelo, and a new master. This new master was a painter. Juan got interests in art. But he couldn’t do art because in Spain, slaves were forbidden to do art. Still Juan was lucky again. He met a good master again. This master had kids too. They were Paquita and Nina. Nina was dead when Juan and his master were back from the journey to Italy.

Juan was sad when he heard that Nina died. Juan had experienced seeing too many people dying who were close to him. He liked Nina. For her he did many things. For example, to play with her, he got a kitten from Dona Trini. He didn’t want to see any more deaths. But soon later, Brother Isidro also died. It was a pain for him.

Juan also saw many apprentices of his masters. There were people like Cristobal, Alvaro, Bautista. Cristobal and Alvaro left the master long time ago. And this Bautista guy was fell in love with master’s daughter Paquita, so they married. Juan was happy about that. Juan’s mater was actually very famous. He even went to king’s court and painted portrait of the king. Even the king said that he’s better than the best painter in Spain called Rubens. Juan was proud of his master. He always wanted to do art.

Few years later, Juan also became a free man. His master saw his art skills. He thought he was good enough. So he taught him a bit and drew a portrait of him. Both of them were happy. After that, they lived as close friends; slave and a master. To me, the most memorable part was when Juan was fall in love with Miri. Even though it was very short, it was very fun. But it was sad when Miri died. The most pleasing part was the last part. Juan’s like is seriously compared to my life. Even though he got free at last, when he was young, he had sad life.

I saw one of the portraits of Juan’s master. It is the portrait of Juan. So it is a portrait of a person. The mood of the painting is dark, but it suits for Juan’s face. I mean it matches. The painting is in horizontal. The color of the clothes and the background really drew me because it really matched well. Also the painting was very realistic. I am not sure what skills he used, but I think he used pencil, paints, and some other skills. For colors, he used warm colors. He used dark colors. And for the texture it looks rough. I can’t know if it’s rough by seeing the picture in Google, but I can feel somehow. Maybe this proofs the that it is a good painting.

2009.03.06 <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">2. We are learning all the time. Write about something you have learned recently and how it has affected you.

These days, we are learning about writing in English class to do the writing gym. Writing gym is a writing assignment we have to do. To do it, we learn about parts of a paragraph, how to write a paragraph, kinds of paragraphs, and other stuffs. And this affected me a lot. It made kind of me to think easier before I am writing and in this way I thought the writing was more fluent.

Firstly, there are three parts of paragraph when you write. They are the topic sentence, supporting details, and the closing sentence. Topic sentence is the first sentence in the paragraph. So basically it introduces the main idea of the paragraph. To say more easily, it is the summary of the paragraph. Supporting details are sentence that comes after the topic sentence. Supporting details give details to support the main ideas. That’s why it is called supporting details. And the closing sentence or the conclusion restates the main idea of your paragraph. Topic sentence, supporting details, closing sentences are very important when you’re writing a paragraph.

Secondly, there are four steps to write a paragraph. You don’t have to do it, but doing is always better. The four steps are prewriting, writing, editing, and publishing. Prewriting is the first step when you do. You just think what to write and summarize your idea in a notebook or whatever. The second step which is writing is to write a nice paragraph with the ideas you have thought. Next, which is editing is to check and correct your paragraphs you have written before. And when you’re done editing you publish it, which is the final step. You just have to print the final copy and hand it in.

Lastly, there are some kinds of paragraphs. For example, definition, compare and contrast. You don’t have to use these but if you do, the reader will feel easier and more comfortable about the writing. Definition paragraph is explaining the idea of the paragraph. It will not be really fun because it just explaining. In a compare and contrast paragraph, you write about the similarities and differences between two or more things. The words used in this kind of paragraphs are “~is similar to”, and “in the other hand”. It will be more interesting for the readers than definition paragraph. And sequence paragraph. Sequence paragraph is a paragraph that tells the idea or events in order. Words used in these kinds of paragraphs are “first”, “after”, “before”. There are a lot more.

Again, If you want to have a good grade on your essay assignment you will have to know about the parts of a paragraph, steps to write a paragraph, and kinds of paragraphs. If you don’t want you don’t really have to write in steps and you don’t really have to write in kinds. But you have to have parts of a paragraph (topic sentences, supporting details, and closing sentences). If you use all three it will be great and it will affect your writing skills a lot as it did to me. <span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">

And this happens because their thinking is different and they just have different opinion. For example, I say i want to go watch movie and the friend says i want to play sports; if we keep argue about this we will have a conflict. If you don't want a conflict between friends, you or your friend can listen to both opinion and think carefully together.

21. If you could choose any animal for a class pet, what would you choose and why? -If I could choose any animal for a class pet, I would choose a parrot.
