Classwork June 8th Iambic poem Yaerinn isn't crazy for sure

Chapter 11 The mood of this chapter is gloomy and exhausted. The villagers tried to fix the first field. Then they went to check on the other fields and found out that they probably wouldn't have enough for meals. They figured that they might have to seel some of their stuff in order to get money for the food. When Cassia was gathering some weeds Harmony came back. The chapter is mainly about villagers checking on the crops and greeting Harmony.
 * Response to literature assignment due July 4th**

Chapter 12 When Harmony came back, he told the village people about his interesting adventures. This chapter is mainly about Harmony saying hello with the village people and telling them about his adventures. When Harmony came over for dinner to Cassia's house he told them all about the adventure and the land out side the valley. After Harmony leaves a friend shows up. It was Spider. Then Spider talks with Cassia's dad about the demons. The mood of the chapter is realxing and is about catching up with each other.

Chapter 13 Some luck comes to Cassia's family. This is because a clerk came to their house to buy some furniture. However the clerk wishes to buy furniture that were once their mother's. This caused a bit of controversy but the family sells a wardrobe and a table at the end. Then the clerk leaves to purchase other things. This chapter was a simple and a short one.

chapter 14 This chapter is mainly about the family struggling to think of a way to get out of their poverty. With the crops still barely there, Cassia and her family works hard to grow everything back again. When the crops were harvested, basically all of it was given to the Golden cat. Later, the family groups together while eating some weed soup and talk about their current situation. Foxfire suggests that the problem isn't the Manchus or the demons and their opium, but their poverty. That they could barely keep a decent amount of food for themselves. The father, thinking of something, suddenly takes a spatula and takes down the mothers window. He was going to sell it. The chapter shows that each of the characters are worried.

chapter 15 This chapter is a little more exciting and shocking than the other chapters. Spider suddenly betrays father, Cassia, and Foxfire. Spider comes to their house with a bunch of bandits. When father refuses to live with Spider, the bandits start attacking them and steals all the goods from their house. Then Spider ties them up. They were even more nervous because the bandits had strong people and it seemed like they could never fight back or get away.

chapter 16 This chapter was very interesting and shocking as well. This chapter is full of mayhem and pandemonium. Cousin Spider tied Cassia and Foxfire’s hands but had a desire to save them and not to sell them as a slave. Cassia was keep on asking to herself how her mother would have done if she was still alive and to handle this kind of situations. However, father actually desired really bad to save the Three Willows. Cassia, Foxfire, and Peony. Then the bandits light a fire on the whole village. The village people were all shocked and risked their lives to turn off the fire.

chapter 17 The village people manage to turn the fire off. The crops and the villages were all ruined and because of the fire, every house had burned down. People were all blaming each other for what had happened. Later The Golden Cat asked about Foxfire, and father stated that he disowned Foxfire. Cassia immediately started to look for Foxfire, but she was not able to find him. A lot of people were lost and couldn't find each other. Later Cassia could find Aster, but she was also looking for Tiny. But Tiny came to Cassia's house later. She asked where Foxfire is but Tiny said that she doesn't know. Then they find out that foxfire ran away.

chapter 18 Uncle Blacky read the letter. He felt very impressed and satisfied. Cassie and her father really misses Foxfire and they are beginning to understand Foxfire's feelings. Foxfire sent 20 strings of money to them. Now they became richer than the other village people. I think that Foxfire was brave to go overseas and help his family without any support.

chapter 19 This chapter is mainly about the letter from Foxfire. The letter explained that he had safely arrived to the Golden Mountain in order for his family to have a greater income. He said that he was very proud to be there working just for the family. Uncle Blacky said this letter has all these deep meanings to it that they should be proud of Foxfire. This made them to miss them much more than other times. I respect the effort that Foxfire puts into his family.

chapter 20 How would you feel if you were starving from proverty last month and now you're the richest person in the village? People just kept on going to the Golden mountain begging for money to Foxfire. The trip to the golden mountain was dangerous but the people thought it was worth it. When Cassia and her dad went to Cassia’s mom’s grave, they met Dusty there. Dusty was learning to shoot a shotgun. However, this caused a fight that Dusty threw a huge dagger at him and left a huge cut. He told Dusty to stay out of the village for good.

chapter 21 This chapter was mainly about the father scaring Dusty off. The mood of this chapter is exciting and action-packed. Dusty was about to kill the father, but was stopped by Cassia who was lucky enough to disarm the attacker. Even though her father was weak and injured, Cassia's father was able to threaten Dusty off and show that he would never give into Dusty's ways. Cassia and her father then later though about a possible way to contact Foxfire and decide on asking Uncle Blacky to write for them.

chapter 22 The village got damaged again. This time it was because of a big storm hit the village and all the crops and the field got damaged again. It would have been very frustrating for the village people. Also Cassia and her father have a talk about being a mother. The mood of this chapter is calm.

chapter 23 Cassia uses up all her money to fix the farms. However, she figures out that she needs more to fix the farm entirely. Moreover there are more tradgedy that happens. Uncle windy's son dies while going to the golden mountain. Also uncle windy gets taken away since he can't pay his taxes. The overall mood is gloomy.

chapter 24 The main key of this chapter is Foxfire's letter. Another letter came from Foxfire saying thathe will stay forever for his family. Also, father finally accepts him as a true son and this is how the story ends. The mood is a bit sad and happy at the same time.

Oh, the glorious fellow I met by the ocean with eyes of deep-sea green! He was a rugged sailor man with eyes of deep-sea green, And I a maid, a tavern maid! Whose living was serving beer. So with a kiss and with a wave, off on his boat he sailed And left me on the dock, the theif! Without my heart, oh dear! And with a heart that's lost at sea, I go on living still. I still am now still serving beer in that tavern by the sea. And though the pay check's still the same, the money won't go as far For now I feed not just myself, but my little one and me! So let that be a lesson, dear, and keep your heart safely hid. I gave mine to a sailing thief with gorgeous eyes of green. Save yours for a sweeter lad who makes the land his home. Ah me! If only I'd never met that sailor by the sea! -- Lonnie Adrift

Reading assignment due May 22nd

chapter 1 The plot of this chapter is about a man who is going to war and leaving his family. He is going to war to fight the demons because the demons have invaded China. There are four main characters, Foxfire, Cassia, her father and her mother. The setting takes place in china at house and theme or mood of this chapter is gloomy and sad. It is because the mother doesn't want her husband since she is sick. However, the mother does not want her husband to know that she is sick and takes pills.

Chapter 2 This chapter is mainly about telling the children the story of the serpent. The setting takes place at home in china. The mood or theme is a little gloomy but more exciting than chapter 1.After Cassia's father left, Foxfire and Cassia began to feel lonely. Moreover, the were also afraid that they might not see their father again. To soothe them, the mother brings the children to a widow and tells them the story of a serpent. The story is basically about a man who falls in love with a woman who is actually a snake. However the man does not care about that fact and continues living happily. This story tells us that little things does not matter when you really love someone.

chapter 3 How do you feel when you hear the word 'stranger' of immigrant'? In chapter 3, a new character is introduced called Aster. Aster is kind of an immigrant and a stranger but also a friend with Cassia. The chapter mostly takes place out on the fields. However, situations starts to get worse after their father left them. When they were out on the fields Cassia's mother starts to feel dizzy and fell dead. Now they have to get through their lives without their parents. The overall mood of this chapter is baffling and sudden.

chapter 4 Where would you go if you had no parents around you? Well Cassia and Foxfire managed to stay with their uncle and aunt. This would mean that Cassia had to do some things that she didn't really want. This chapter is mainly about adjusting to their aunt's expectations. They have some disagreements during this process. I think that the aunt should let her do what makes her happy instead of forcing her to do things she doesn't like.

chapter 5 Would you run away from home of you don't like the way things are going on? I think it depends on how bad the situation is. The setting takes place at the village. The two siblings were able to run away because the matchmaker was drunk. The village people found out about this and forced them to come back. I would have tried to negotiate with my aunt before running away. In this chapter, I found out that the two siblings really cared about each other and brothers and sisters can be very important when other people are turning their backs on you.

chapter 6 How badly would you want to see your father if he went to war? The brothers and sisters continued their life on the village. Aster's family helped them out on the fields. Also, Cassia's father came back from the war. The chapter was mainly about the two siblings greeting their dad and telling what had happened over the few days. I was glad that the dad had come back because the two kids were having such a hard time. The setting takes place mostly at home.

chapter 7 The setting of this chapter takes place in the fields and the house. The mood or theme of this chapter is about being scared and baffled. The problem all started like this. Cassia and Foxfire decided to go out to the fields to work. There was a huge fog and it covered the hills and everywhere. When the two kids were lost due to the fog, they were attacked by a phoenix warrior. Luckily, they were saved by their saved by their father's spear. However, the Phoenix warrior came back with more men and surrounded them. I am wondering why they would attack the two siblings.

chapter 8 What would you do if there were more than 10 surrounding people trying to attack you? I would run but, these guys did things a little differently. The three attacked the men and actually defeated all of them. I thought this was unrealistic than ever. In this chapter there is a new character called Dusty. He is a man who is great at fighting. The villages were being destroyed and stolen. Then, Cassia's father and Dusty joined the fight.

chapter 9 This chapter is mainly about cassia and the young people planning to attack the enemy in order to save the village. I personally think that Cassia is a bit out of her mind and crazy. I would run away from the village and save myself instead of risking my life. Also, her father and her brother both tells her not to go and I would listen to them if I were her.

chapter 10 After the fighting was over, the village was destroyed and all the people felt exhausted and gloomy. They had no more crops left and didn't know what to do. Aster's father decides to help but it didn't make the situation better. Cassia wanted to go away somewhere else. The setting takes place in the village and the mood is gloomy. I would not know what to do if I was in that situation.

April 22nd Reading assignment: Justin Yoon A day’s wait  Have you ever worried so much about a thing that doesn’t matter at all? In this story, a boy named Schatz does the same experience and worries about his life over a simple fever. This story is written by a famous author called Ernest Hemmingway who earned international fame for his tales of war and adventure.

I have worried about many things. As I think now, I realized that I have worried about little and unimportant problems. Four years ago, I was walking to the school in a fresh warm morning. Then, I was baffled at the sight of three green papers shaped like rectangular sandwich sitting on the pavement. It was thirty thousand won. At that time, thirty thousand won was a lot of money for me. I stood for seven full minutes thinking in agony if I should take the money and use it all or hand the money over to the teacher and let her deal with it, find the owner myself, or leave it. As I am thinking about this, I can’t keep myself from being so sorry and angry for myself for having too much useless honesty. After a few seconds, I saw a classmate walking towards my direction. I knew that I would feel guilty if I just took the money so I gave ten thousand won to my friend that I met. If the ‘Justin’ in 2009 saw thirty thousand won in the streets, he would just take it without any single second thoughts and would not feel a single string of guilt.

The main character in the story is a boy called ‘Schartz’. He wakes up one morning with a headache and a fever. His dad calls a doctor and they find out that his current temperature was one hundred and two. The boy stays awake and only stares at the foot of his bed for a few hours. His dad tries to read to him but he won’t listen. The boy thought that he was going to die because he learned that people can’t live with forty four degrees. His dad explained everything to him and the boy began to relax.

There are only two main characters in the story. A boy called Schatz and his dad. I think that the boy is too cautious and that he being a bit stupid. If I were the boy, I wouldn’t have worried about the chances of my living and just slept. I think that the dad was very was caring and tried hard to make the boy feel better. You can see that because the dad didn’t show any frustration and read him stories.

This story shows that the boy had a day to think and experience his false theory and until he found out that he worried for nothing. This story tells us that thoughts and knowledge can change someone’s behavior significantly.

 Justin Yoon All summer in a day  Can you imagine Korea raining for seven years? I would have had a hard time being not able to play sports in the field. This story is about children who have not seen the sun for seven years. The book is by an author called Ray Bradbury. I think that the story was not realistic enough and raining for seven years sounded a bit silly.

Hey what a consequence! I had experienced a similar problem except that it had rained for only two days. It was dark rainy Monday morning. I wasn’t too happy with the rain. It was because I wanted to play soccer on the field. I hadn’t played for soccer a few days and I sort of missed it. It was lunch time, the rain came pouring down. However, me and my friends decided to play soccer anyway. I put my goalie gloves and my soccer shoes on. I couldn’t see the ball when I tried to block it. I was soaking. I wished that I was playing soccer in a sunny warm day. When lunch was over my gloves and shoes were all wet and I was freezing. I was not happy with my wet clothes and thought of tomorrow being sunny. Next day I woke up. It was raining again. I was frustrated more than yesterday. It was because we were supposed to have PE on the field but due to the rain we went to the weight room.

One day, the children were excited to know that the rain was going to stop. They all waited for the sun with thriving excitement. However, the children had a fight with Margot. They were fighting because Margot was saying she remembered the sun while the children argued that she didn’t. The children locked Margot in a closet. Drop. Drop. Drop. The rain finally stopped and the children went outside. After a while, it started to rain again. As they went in they remembered that Margot was still locked.

The main characters were the children and Margot. The children were a bit mean and too stubborn. I don’t think that the children needed to argue about what Margot remembered. Also, they didn’t have to lock Margot in to a closet. I do not think that was mean compared to what happened after they locked her. The children prevented Margot from seeing the sun that didn’t shine for seven years.

The symbol in the story was the sun. The sun showed us that what we take for granted will be missed if those things don’t show up for a few years.

 Justin Yoon Seventh Grade  How did you feel like at the first day of school? The author of this book is Gary Soto. He has written many other books involving Spanish people. This story is about a boy called victor in his first day of school. He likes a girl named Teresa and is trying to impress her.

I remember the first day of seventh grade. It was really busy and different. The biggest change was our schedules and our rooms. Our classrooms and classes had all changed. There were a few kids who had trouble finding their classrooms. Furthermore there were way more students than last year. The new students all looked puzzled. Also, at the first day of school, I had Chinese. I had never learned Chinese before. I was puzzled and mixed up like victor at his French class. I think that I experienced lots events similar to Victor’s.

It was the first day of school. Teresa was racing across Victor’s head. Victor hoped he would have classes with Teresa. Victor finds out that he has homeroom and French with Teresa. In French class, Victor lied to the teacher that he could speak French. When the teacher asked him a question, Victor hesitated and then he made up his own random words and pretended to speak French. He did all that to Impress Teresa.

The teacher and Victor had something in common. They both wanted to impress a girl. The teacher did that by changing his car every time and he soon became broke. The difference is that victor is a kid and the teacher is an adult. In the story, the teacher could be expressed as a protagonist and an antagonist because he asked victor a question that hi could not answer in the other hand, Teresa thought that he actually answered that question and was impressed.

The main symbol of the story is good impression. It is because Victor does things to impress Teresa to get a good impression. I think that the story tells you what people would do for others.

Justin Yoon Amigo Brothers  Do you get into conflicts while you’re playing sports? This story is about two friendly boys who both have the same dream, becoming boxing Champions. They knew each other since they were little and practiced boxing together. In this story you will read about deep friendship even though when they are competing against each other. This story is written by an author called Piri Thomas.

I was on a junior Ice hockey team called the Dragons. In total, we were the third best team in Korea. I was the assistant Captain. Me and my teammates became extremely close and had a lot of fun. As I went up to Dragons intermediate hockey two of my teammates went to a professional school team. We had two matches against each other. Even though we nailed each other into the boards, we were just playing the game. During the game we played like we didn’t know each other. After the game we talked and became close again.

There were two young boys who were very close to each other. They both loved boxing and started practicing when they were young. As they were getting older and better they had more and more competitions. One day, they found out they were playing against each other. While they were in the ring, they fought like strangers. When the game was over, Felix and Antonio left arm to arm.

The two boys both want to be the champion in boxing. They both have the skills to be one. They also have deep friendship between each other. However they are boxing against each other in the ring. <span style="font-size: 13.2pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The symbol of the story is friendship. The story is mentioning the competition between the boys to emphasize the friendship between them. Friendship is a strong bond between some people that cannot be broken by a game of boxing.

<span style="display: block; text-align: left; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> <span style="display: block; text-align: right; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Justin Yoon <span style="display: block; text-align: center; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The Luckiest Time of All <span style="display: block; text-align: left; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What was your luckiest time of all? I bet that you would have to spend some time thinking about the question before giving an accurate answer. This is a story about a great grandmother telling her great granddaughter about her luckiest time of all. This book is written by an author called Lucille Clifton who has hard to overcome the discrimination and become a successful writer.

The main character was watching a dog dance to the music at the Silas Greene show. She thought the dog was very smart and extremely cute. As the music got faster people got more excited. She was being carried away and started throwing pennies. Then, she threw her lucky stone before she thought of the consequences. I had the same experience when I was playing hockey. There was a lot of checking in the boards with two other opponents. It was a really getting harsh because it was the last minute and the opponents had pulled the goalie and went for an extra attacker. We were winning by two points and I was determined to wins. As the opponent started running away with the puck towards our goal I body checked him without control and he flew outside of the rink into the bench. I sort of felt sorry for that guy and I didn’t know why I nailed him so hard but it was too late and I went to the penalty box.

The main character and her best friend decided to join the Silas Greene which was kind of a circus. They decided to watch some performances before joining. As they walked around they saw a cute dog dancing to the music. The crowds were all excited and they threw pennies. Not able to control her excitement, the main character threw her lucky stone which hit the dog in the nose. The dog started chasing after her and the main character ran. They had made a show of their own. They were running and when the main character looked behind, the dog was just about to jump on her, when a man grabbed the dog’s leg. This led to the love between Mrs. Elzie F. Pickens and Mr. Amos Pickens.

I think that the main character was very bold and happy to try out new things. She seems very active and adventurous to try to join the Silas Greene. It is not common for people to just go out and decide to join a circus show. I can also infer that she loves Mr. Pickens very much.

The symbol of the story is the rock. The rock led to a dog chasing after the main character. However, she says that it is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to her. It is because love is the most important and the luckiest thing you can get. Love, everyone needs it.
