Due June 3rd Secret of the Andes

Chapter 11 Cusi first realizes that Misti was missing but he finds her staring at him as a signal to follow. He went through mysterious trails and finally stopped. There were ancient ruins and stone seats. He saw a stone with smooth drillecd holes and he knew what it was. It was a holy stone when Inca ruled and the priest used to tie it. Then Cusi heard the Amauta's voice. And then he found a sandal which he knew it was his. He stumbled toward Chuto where there was the fire. he looked tired. He said that he was waiting for Cusi, and told him that the sandal was a sign, and Chuto was wating for it. He said that he will fo to Cuzco, the holy city the next day and make Cusi find what he had desired for. And he was ready with 7 llamas waiting for the journey. Chuto is a tired old man who is guite mysterious. He seems to share everything but he is hiding something. Cusi is always ready and is hardworking, so now he will get what he was desiring for, in the valley below...

Chapter 12 The llamas were in a single line and were all beautiful. He said they will not graze at night so he fed the llamas with rich grass and made them rest. He went a little more and he was almost there. So he began thinking about what to say to his family. He went on until there was a ground with no shelters and people. There was nothing, and he wondered why Chuto sent him, knowing that nothing was there, but he rembered to follow his heart. Cusi is a character with care and love, for example his llamas. He yields the llamas and sacrfice his comfortablness. Currently he got confused but recalled what Chuto said and decided to follow his heart.

Chapter 13 They got to a steep part and Cusi told them to rest. But the llamas just went on, so he went on too. And around a curve, he saw light haze, so he hurried. They reached a gate in a high stone wall, and an Indian guard who stood before the gate said that he was expected. He was guided to a room. Then he saw an old man approching. He looked like Chuto but seemed like it wasnt Chuto. Then a lady entered. They provided Cusi food. Then the lady left and Cusi had a conversation with the Old One. And he the Old One gave him a solution to just follow his heart. Then he was guided out by a boy to the llama corral. He slept there and hear some chanting. The guide cameback the next morning. He took the right way to Cuzco and got there in the evening. Then the guards man stopped him saying he cant bring the llmas in, so Cusi was angry. Then he said he was expecting him and promised he would take him to the city the next day. Cusi is a responsible person because he takes care of his llama and always stay with them.

Chapter 14 Cusi woke up and saw the Indian guide. Then he reached to the gate where the guardsman rejected him. He went inside the walls and saw many different things. He saw river and he even traded stuff. And Cusi loaded the traded things like sugar on Misti's back. After wondering what he would trade for Misti's wool he went into a shop of clothes and bought them. Then the Indian guide told him that he could now seek for what he had desired and he wil keep the llamas outside the walls. The characters around Cusi is mysterious and is very respectful. Cusi is a pateint character since he really tries hard to achieve his goal slowly and carefully.

Chap 15

Cusi went into a church and tried to find what he had desired. He different kinds of people but couldnt find any of his family. So he tried to rember the minestrel's sauing of following his heart and looked again. Then he saw a women who looked like the woman in ayllu but older. She saw him and said that he had golden earplugs and was one of them. He looked like her son who ran away, Titu. And he was suddenly placed with a new family, his siblings and stayed together. He felt good but just good in a playing way. He did not feel that he belonged there. At night he went to the gates and called Misti inside. Cusi is warm hearted and patient. First of all, he cares who his family is and how do they live. He is also patient in a way that being calm when people taunt him.

Chap 16 An Indian stranger gave Cusi a Sunrise Call. He said that he belong to the same group and is satisfied that Cusi broguht the golden sandals. The Indian told Cusi to come to his hut and unpack things. He said that people call him the keeper of the fields and he knew Chuto well too. The Indian mentioned about hte sandals again and that was when Cusi found his solution to his problem. He could share his sandal with MIsti, Chuto and himself but not the other famlily back in town. He has foun it. After he went, a shadow behind the Indian asked waht he had told him and he said nothing. Cusi got what he deserved. He worked hard for it and because of his conciensious characteristic, he got his reward.

Chap 17 When Cusi came back, Chuto was pleased. They talked about the keeper of the field and the new shortcut that they learnt. Then he said to Chuto that he was his family and wants to stay wiht him. Then he made a oath with some chants and blood. Then he began to tell him some things like Cusi seeing her mother before the landslide came. And Titu was his father. They chated and the sun was rising for a new beginning.

Secret of the Andes

The main character of the book is Cusi, and he lives in the mountains, the vallys. He is an Indian and he lives in a small tribe. There is a man called Chuto who has taking care of Cusi because he doesnt no his parents. he is kind and cares for Cusi. So basically this chapter is about Cuzi getting ready for an adenture to find it's parents. He is a llama shepherd so he has to ask some one in his vally to take care of the llamas when he goes. He said goodbye to people and started his adventure
 * Chap 1**

he started his journey and now he just woke up from a llama humming. He remebereed last night when minstrel sang. he sang about starts, Pleiades and how they guarded the new seeds sleeping in the deep earth. He remembered the best song and hummed to the llamas. After Chuto sings he tells Cusi where he found him which made Cuzi more curios. Chuto is very kind of him to take care of Cusi when he was in middle of nowhere. They went back because that was the only way
 * Chap 2**

They come back from where they were because of the road. The ministrel and other people were waiting for them. The minstrel has been everywhere. So Cusi thought he wanted to be a ministrel. Cusi was suprised when the minestrel and the llama had a look that said "I like you". minestrel knew about llamas as well as he knew about songs. He sang when he worked and when he stopped only the llamas were humming. The minestrel knows alot of stuff and he is kind. He accepted in taking care of the llamas when Cusi was gone and he always sang to them.
 * Chap 3**

Chuto promises Cusi to look in other nieghbors too. When Chuto pointed at the ones that is getting the year's giving Cusi thought about the mysterious trips that Chuto made every once a while. he took llamas with him but he didnt bring them back. Chuto made sandal s to go across the mountains. Once again the minestrel chanted but this time with no music. Cusi seemed that he could he the buildings of Cuzco, the holy city. After dinner he was tierd and Chuto said they were leaving right after they get up. The minestrel sang him to sleep and he suddenly stood up saying llamas are not dead there are somewhere. They calmed down and slept. Chuto has devotion to find Cusi's parents and works hard. Now, the minestrel, Chuto, and Cusi is like a family. They look out for each other and help in a way that they can give help.
 * Chap 4**

Cusi, Chuto and Old one went to teh Sunrise Call. Cusi felt familiar because he was there the other day. He felt in the sprit world and was reluctant to get back. When going back, Cusi felt that Chuto and the Old one was troubled because they didnt want to see the outside world and he felt guilty to fell exctied to explore and have an adventure. When they got back the minestrel tried to convince Cusi and Chuto to not go like saying that if he wanted to mix salt with the fresh water. Chuto said he was reluctant but it was needed. They got the materials and supplies and was ready to go. And they went without looking back. They are ou the Mountain Andes and going further to a city. Chuto is really devoted and Cusi is habing fun. They are facing new stuff so feels excited and scared.
 * Chap 5**

Chap 6 Cusi wasnt familiar with the new environment so Chuto explained about the flowers and named the trees. Cusi said his leg felt more heavier and Chuto told him that it is because they came to a lower land region then the region that they used to live in. Th found a women and a boy and got someting to drink. They walked through rocky paths and narrow paths. They smelt fire smoke before he even saw it. Few people appered they seemed to know Chuto and called welcome to Condor Kuncca. People seemed to do similar things that they do in their village and they finally ate. Cusi was so tired that he didnt know he was even starting to sleep. Chuto knows amny things compared to living only in the village for a ling time. He is patient and likes to teach Cusi new stuff. He knows lots of people that can be useful to him. So basically his friends are helpful.

Chap 7 They kept on going and Cusi realized that know wonder it was called the hidden valley because it was so maze like. They found a village and a man said that they were conquered. Cusi didnt quite get it because Chuto just explained it was spanish. He explained about the Inca and he explained more abou the town. Cusi grew suspicious and asked the questions that he wanted to ask before. He wanted to know who he really was and who Chuto was and how he knew all the outside things. Cusi is a pure and a innocent character. He doesnt even know who he really is and now he is tired of it. He wants to know what is happening.

Chap 8 They got to the Valley of Salt. They immediately got ot work and dog holes. While Cusi joined the salt diggers, Chuto went to the barter to sell yarns to buy supplies for their journey. The yarn got lot of attention by other men because it was so good. They thought bargaining was fun. On the opposite side of the valley, Cusi could see the disappearing and appearing of two roudn eyes that grew bigger when they appeared agian. He thought it was an animal from the outside world. It was a truck. Chuto explained that it was a truck. It had wheel and was run by gasoline. It seemed facinating. They stayed there and when they got started and went to the swinging bridge, Chuto stopped and said that to cross it, you need the bright sunlight not the shadow of the night. which made Cusi angy. So they just went back home. Chuto is very wise and brave. He is able to take care of Cusi and Chuto himself even when there was a trouble.

Chap 9 After being home in a week Cusi was confused of believing that he was back at home. He remembered everything that happened vividly. They were back to their normal life. Cusi was herding again and they were shearing. Cusi asked again how Chuto got his information from. He said he was taught too but spoke in mystery. After that, he began to train Misti, his lama. He was trying to train him as a burden bearer. Then there was trouble. He knew that llama wont allow him to overload. So he tried a experiment which quite made the llamas angry. He now told the llama how they are friends and how long they have been together and that he was the master. Misti finaly obeyed and the other llamas stood up too. Then there was a sudden march of a man that looked like he was working under the king. He told Chuto that he is teaching Cusi now and Cusi was ready for this moment. Cusi is a hard working character. He tries new things and try to learn new things as he live along.

Chap 10 He was not happy that the Amauta was gone. But what he really wanted to learn was his history. He didn't know about his parents, where he actually came from, and who is he. He thought of Chuto because he was kind to him but never calld him son. Before going away, the Amauta game him a thirty ady examination and he all accompished waht was expected of him. After the examination, the Amauta gave him a turban that the nobles wore. And said rule wisely for your people, and follow your heart. Chuto also spent housr looking at the families in the lower valley as Cusi did. Chuto and Cusi went to choose llamas for burden bearer. Chuto has to now take them to the lower villages and they prayed in an Indian way. Chuto is conscientious because he works for his "family" and care for them in a labor way and in a mental way. Helping finding Cusi's parent is one thing.

It is a day made to inspire the people to remember to thanks the Earth for the environment that it gives us. It was first started by Senator Gaylord Nelson for an environment teach in 1970. But this date is sping in the northern hemisphere and autumn for the southern hemisphere. It was first discussed at a conference in 1969 in Seattle, Washington. The reason why the Senator made this day is because of the over population. It was a success because approximately, 20 million americans first participated in this event. This encouraged of recycling and made people realize that they are polluting their own world. 2007, wa s the greatest people that participated. There were about billion people from all over the world. It made thousands of colleges and universities to protest against the pollution of factories, deforestation of wood cutting, and destroying wildlife by hunting. It made a huge impact on Earth and to make a better place.

//My opinion// I think it works. It doesn't harm or give negatives influence on anything by arranging an Earth day so why don't we do it?? It costs no money for example. But with none negative influence, we are able to get a huge improvement of the environment and the change of people.

 * I woke up... As usual I went to the bathroom. I smelt the bathroom's soggy smell and had a shower... I went down to get some splendid toast with eggs for breakfast... I threw my bag up to my shoulder and I opened the door... I will never forget it.**//

This was what happened the first night. I first woke up and I took a shower and got ready to go to school. I noticed that my mom was not in the kitchen. So I thought she just went to the mart. It was a normal morning without some crazy drivers fighting in our street. I ate some toast and eggs and I was ready to go to school. I wiped away my sleepiness by rubbing my eyes and then I opened the door. A huge dump truck's trunk opened and a guy or something threw a package in the street. I only saw the red part of the thing. And I was sure that the package was for me because it stared at me before it threw it. And that is how the terrifying adventure started..**.**

I wondered what was in the package but it said "Dangerous." I wondered what to do with the package when the phone rang. I picked it up. A man spoke to me in a husky voice. "You got the package? Don't even dare telling this to the police. Because I got yo mama. This is important. You need to carry this to the destiny. I will tell you the check point every 5 minutes. Oh, and I will let your mother go when I get the message that the package is successfully delivered. Get on the Black Car across the street. The car will be in the garage and there will be a man driving you. " and the phone went off. My legs were shaking like crazy! I tried to get hold of myself, thinking, 'It's alright. He was just talking some nonsense. He could be anyone. Jon, Jin, Kevin, and even Steve, playing a prank on me.' But since I was scared I just decided to follow the man's directions. I got a hoody on and wore my new red converse shoes and headed outside.

I went to the garage and got on to the car. The man looked like he was in his thirties or twenties. He was fairly tall and he was too handsome to be in a criminal organization or whatever it is. He drove me to the next check point, and the guy called me. "Good. You listen to me. Now this is will be your final destination. This was just a test if you are going to follow my direction or not." said the guy. And I thought 'duh~ You have my mom in custody what will I do?' " Why do I need to do it? There is bunch of kids who can do it. And why don't you do it?" I asked,impatiently. " You will know when you get there." said the man calmly. I looked out the windows and fiddled with the belt. Then I fell asleep... I woke up and I saw white boats and some warehouses. I got out of the car, and the driver handed me a ringing phone. I picked it up. "You reached the destiny. Open the box in the wrecked cargo ship." said the guy. I threw the phone away and I went to the cargo boat.

The place was creepy and I heard weird whispers. I opened the box. "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! What the HECK!!!!" 'OMY GOSH.' I thought. In the box, there was a head with a phone attached next to it. I was freaked out. I threw the box. There was small letters engraved at the side. "English 6F Mr. S" I gasped. The head said, "Don't throw me like that. You accomplished your goal. So bye..." I recognized the voice. It was the guy! "But you said you would let go of my mother." I mumbled. "But I didn't say it was you too!" replied the guy. I tried to make a run but other faces blocked me. "It is time to join us..."

//Ice Cream//

It is boiling HOT today. The hot summer day makes you feel like you are melting. Do you want to jump in the blue, freezing pool? Too bad~ We can't go now. So buy me a cool freezing snowy ice cream. Don't buy the cup ones that makes me feel sticky and eww. They melt quickly and I don't think that it is going to make you feel good either. You can choose the kind- Chocolate, Strawberry, Melon, Salami, Beef, or what ever- but remember the ice cream choosing skill that I told you. PICK THE ICE CREAM FROM THE BOTTOM!! That way we can still have the frosty ice cream, and enjoy thinking about the pool in the bath tub.

//Pizza//

Hunger... But no food... I don't have anything for lunch, so read carefully if you don't want to challenge yourself of two meal hunger. I realized that there was frozen pizza at the market. I know you love tasting the squishy mushy potatoes but today we are having pineapple or nothing PERIOD! But buy the ones that has the latest date, so we don't have to throw our cheesy meal in the garbage~ My mouth is getting watery while I'm writing it. And I'm starting to lose my mind and I'm losing my temper!! Don't make me grouchy and buy the pizza now... This is an order...

Egg

I almost forgot about it. I'm so dumb, tomorrow is school day! I need to eat like thunder before I hop into the school bus. What do you think will be the best for a bitter and a chilly morning? Duh It is scrambled eggs. But the problem is, that I don't have any eggs, if you don't know what an egg is dude, it is oval and it is snowy white. You don't want to drop it, because when it does, there will be a sunset colored goo all over you. Oh yeah, and buy the whole egg dozen not one. Don't buy the ones that feels rocky and bumpy on the surface because those are the ones that will spread more goo on your face when it splats!!!

//**<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(128, 0, 128);">March 18th Writing a Paragraph What could a crazy monkey do in a hotel????**//

Bang!!!Flash!!! In a one silent night, a flash of light spread around the city with a big bomb sound...

In the city of York, there was the world best hotel called York Plaza Hotel. Like any other day people were going to work, shopping, and school. Everything looked the same but a black coat and a brown hat man walking into the York Plaza hotel. He rode the elevator and went up to the 11th floor. I followed him until he went to his room. He locked the door and I smelt cow and cow wastes. The stench came from the room. I thought of opening it, but I just went back to my room. At night I heard some crazy monkey noises, and thought "What the heck?" and went back to sleep. I turned the cool, luxurious, and a elegant looking LCD TV and there was a emergency news. There was a dragon hijacking from China and was headed to here, Yor k. I was totally scared. I told the people of the Pentagon but they wouldn't believe me and my person who picked up the phone was my rival before I was kicked out of the FBI. So I went to the next door room where the weird person stayed and guess what... "Ah! Eww!" I screamed. There was the cow stench and some blood... I followed the blood and I found a cow dangling on the window. I was about to get out when I heard a familiar song in a room. I went in and I saw a crazy monkey dancing on a chair playing crazy monkey games and listening to Numa Numa. I then realized that this crazy monkey was not a normal monkey. It was an alien!! The flash of memories I saw in the news came back. "There was a really big bang with a flash that blinded everyone on the streets of york." " The place seems to be at a park near the Hudson river. There is a monkey face shaped dug in the sand..." I was about to make a run but there was another emergency from the news. It said that the terrorist that hijacked the plane were nearly in York. 'What?! Didn't they say the emergency was a dragon hijacked by Chinese?' I wondered, and I turned the channel and there was Elmo. But the show wasn't an Elmo. It was Elmo with friends trying to retrieve the hijacked dragon from the Chinese!!!! "Oh, Oh.." I said. I turned around, but there was no monkey I went to the lounge and the monkey was waiting for the cow to dry up. Then I heard an airplane sound. It came closer, and closer, and I made a run down the stairs and ran as far as I could. I was just out of the way when the hotel crushed down. It was a disaster. And it was 2001 september 11th

A week later, I heard in the newspaper that the Pentagon was attacked too at the same time. It was a group of Hindus and Mohammed's suicide bomb. They say that they were not satisfied with the government and did that. But I know that the real reason is the crazy monkey. The actual plan should have been two Mohammed planes attack but instead in the one plane the Hindus hijacked but why? I know. Hindus thinks the cow is a sacred creature, but that day, unfortunately, the crazy monkey grilled the bloody cow in the window sill so the Hindus were insulted and got the pilot place before the Mohammed did. I think...

Sitti wanted to show me her vineyard so we went out. She didn't wanted to ride te elevator as usual. When we arrived at Galilee, we sat in a pink a=old restaurant. We saw the menu and we all odered the same thing. But it wasn't that nice. We had a great time and I hope we have more fun experiences with Liyana. More....__

 * At Sitti's House**

__We, Omer, Khaled, Nadline, Liyana, and I went to Sitti's house to have dinner. Omer asked me before dinner about the people's job but I just said it was complicated and it really is. I just remembered about Omer and introduced him to the family as just a friend. I think people will think he is just a friend next door. I was amazed how Omer, Khaled, and Nadline ate that dinner. Because usually the the aunts tease us as a family living on crumbs of bread and mint leaves. It seemed like Sitti didn't like Omer having dinner here because she even told Khaled that he should go and cook himself. While eating suddenly, Omer spoke a few Arabic and the room became quite Sitti said something, and she said that Omer is the angel of a friend of Sitti that died in a war in the 67's. She always interests people like that. LOL__

 * Home Sickness**

Today, Poppy asked Liyana, if she felt comfortable here. She just saud sometimes she gets homesikness but not daily. On the other hand I really enjoy my life here. Also I realized my Arabic was developing faster than my sister. I quess it is because Liyana is to embarrased to make a mistake unlike me. I'm not afraid to make mistakes. I'm proud of my self for fitting in a foreing country well and learning a language faster than my sister. I don't know what Liyana miss about. She has lots of friends here too. She knows Hani, the banana seller, Bilali the fabric seller, and Bassan, the spiceman. And even the shopkeepers welcomes her. Later, Poppy said the Jews and Arabs are trying to make a change in Hebron so he said to invite Omer. Liyana was jumping up and down and I was just excited. I like Omer too. He was kind. We went to pick up Kahaled and Nadline from the camp. The car was squashed but me and Nadline at on the floor. It was fun. Liyana usually hates crowed cars and especially when turing around the corners, but she seemed to like it today. It is obvious~ because then she get to lean over Omer. Omar seemed to like and be fascinated at our place. Liyana and was talking some words in their each language laughing, but I didn't get why it was funny. I guess they were talking in Hebrew and Arabic. To understand both of them, I think I need to learn Hebrew too. She was having a great time. Why would she want to go back to America???__

__After visiting Poppy, we went to the hospital where Khaled was recovering at. Beofore he explained what was wrong with him, he asked me about Poppy. I told him that he was in jail and Khaled said Poppy was trying to protect him, but the soldiers mis understood. When I came back home, there was a call fromt the police. The officer said Poppy was getting out of the jail soon so I don't have to worry. I was able to relax a little bit. I went down to ask Abu Jana about the bomb in the market. He said it was a disaster, and I thought 'how could anyone do that? People doesn't need to always fight' Poppy finally got home and I asked about Omer coming to our village. He was very defensive when I said that. He said that he wouldn't understand our culture so he basically didn't agree. I persuaded him by saying we need to change by make peace not just carry on with the old tradition. We carryed on our conversation and he finally found out that I was in love with Omer. He didn't seem to appriciate the idea, I guess it is because we are different. He was gradually opening his mind but he said not to set the date yet. I don't like it. We are all same.__

 * In Custody**

__When I came back from school, my brother was in panic. He said that Khaled was shot, and my dad was in jail. He was accused for shooting Khaled. Mom wasn't home either, so I went to the jail where my dad was kept, with Khaled's cousin. I was really desperate and scared. I was totally calm, until I was stopped at the jail entrance. I totally lost my temper and screamed at the guard and darting in the jail. Poppy said that Khaled getting shot and him being in jail was a total misunderstanding. And of course I believed him. Poppy said he was trying to get out of jail. I went out with a soldier dragging me. I realized that this was all millitary's fault. I was thinking 'What the heck?' when I went crazy and shouted to the soldier when I was ouside " You don't have to be so mean! You could be nicer! My father is a doctor! My friend you shot is a gentle person! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!" The soldier was quite suprised by then. I hope Poppy will come home soon.__

 * Thursday, March 5th** : Using the topic you used in your writing gym, write a 5 paragraph essay. Post on your page. Remember: Introdcutory, 3 supporting, and concluding paragraph. Use space to separate your paragraphs.

//1.// // Write about what you think the world will be like in 100 years. // These days, there are lots of problems caused in nature. Accordingly, we are worried about the global warming, air pollution that is getting worse by deforestation, and increasing of world population, which causes the limited resources of Earth run out quickly. As a result, people are especially worried about their next generation and even human beings extinction. Some of the lands that are below sea level is already below the sea, so even some scientists today says human is going to be extinct in a few hundreds or even ten years because of the dramatic increasing of world population and the melting of poles of Earth. However, although people are in a crisis of nature, they could survive by utilizing some developed technology that was causing the crisis in nature.

Since the waste of the vehicles, causes most of the pollution, in the future, we may be able to adjust the resource that is used for vehicle’s mobility. Anyway since the oil is really expensive and it even pollutes a lot, the resource can be adjusted to hybrid, which is a gas that doesn’t pollute and is really clean. A lot of hybrid is under a Korean island Dokdo, and that is main reason that Japan wants the island. If people can develop technology faster, we even could use solar energy. The solar cars are not officially used but scientists are really working hard on it. In brief, people needs and is going to change the power source of the mobility of vehicles.

Besides changing the source of mobility of a vehicle, if people really get to a crisis where most of the lands of Earth are under the sea, we might be able to make an artificial land with streets as water and use transportation as boats. For this reason, we may develop more technology used in boats and systems that suits people like modern day cars. This idea is similar to the life of people in Venice, Italy who sails boats as their transportation around the city. It means that in the future, the life with water would be more comfortable, since we already have an idea what a country filled with water look like. But, since this is a 100 years later, people would be able to able to adapt the environment with some help with technology.

Adapting the environment after an environmental crisis of the melting pole could be a good idea, but we, humans can start preventing and preparing for the disaster before it happens. Scientists are also working on using the universe as our living home. It is not going to happen very soon, but it is going to happen sometime around after 100 years later. People would be living separately. For instance, people who lost their home, may live in a space hotel that scientists are building, and maybe change Mars so it has a closer resemblance to Earth, because the Mars now, is bursting with hundreds of volcanoes and has too much carbon dioxide. Therefore, the world in 100 years would look quite separated. In addition separation could form a different kind of a human race who is more adapted to less air and food than the human race now.

After all, who knows what is going to happen in the future? But even if there is a nature disaster in the future, people would be able to defend human beings from extinction by using the technology that caused the nature disaster.The future is not clear to us but we can make few predictions according to the development of technology, damage in nature, and difference in human life. But people are almost 100% sure of the global warming causing some natural disasters in the future. In short, actually, nobody knows what will happen in the future.

Feb 26th 2009 //Talk about your favorite music and why you like it.// My favorite music Sum41's With Me, and Yngwie Malmsteen's Far Beyond the Sun. I like most of the Sum41's song because I like pop and rock music, and Sum 41 has some really good rock parts. The song composer Derryck Whibley is really good at singing and writing the scores and lyrics. Especially, when I hear With Me, it calms me down in a good way and makes my mood excited, but not crazy, so it is just enough. With me's instrument parts and the lyrics blend well together so I think that is a nother reason I like it. I really like Yngwie Malmsteen because he is really good at playing the guitar. He is the fastest guitar player in the world. Among all of the music piece he has played, I like Far Beyond the Sun. I like Far Beyond the Sun because it is really fast and it really rocks. It plays for about 5minutes and I think the part where he plays with his teeth was quite interesting.
