 * may 21 Book Project: "The Serpent's Children"**

=
=Chapter 1The author, the author’s mom and dad, and my brother Foxfire are the characters in this chapter. This chapter takes place in China where Demons have invaded China. The Manchus, a barbarian tribe, fails their attempt to fight the demons. So the author’s father decides to go to Canton, which is the city that was invaded by the demons), to defeat the demons.

Chapter 2 The character remains the same, and the setting takes place at the author’s house. The author and her brother keep fighting, so the author’s mother tells them a story about fighting, and how she was hurt from that.

Chapter 3 A new character with a name of “Aster”, which is the author’s neighbor, appeared. Also the author’s uncle Windy and aunt Piety joins the story. Aster brings soup to the author’s mom, and they seem to get a little closer.

Chapter 4 An elderly woman is brought into the story by the author’s Aunt Piety. Aunt Piety explains that the elderly woman was the author’s Aunt Patience. The author finds out that his mother is dead.

Chapter 5 The Three Willows was where the author lived and where her ancestors grew up. After the character’s mother gives a extensive story regarding the Three Willows, the author believes that her sprit is still with them, even though her body is dead.

Chapter 6 The author’s father, who was never introduced before in the story, returns from the battle with the demons. After the author told him about her mother’s death, he started to regret he had left, and he tells the author about how much he had loved the author’s mother.

Chapter 7 After the author’s father overcame the pain, he started teaching people how to protect oneself, and other skills used in militaries, in case the demons came back. I think that he did a good job in doing so because you cannot just wait and sit there, in melancholy, without knowing when your enemies will come back.

Chapter 8 Uncle Blanky tells the author’s father that he wasn’t learning from him and then he goes to the village Phoenixes. By this, Uncle Blanky and the author’s father’s relationship has broken up a little bit. This is why I learned that breaking relationships and doing other things is not recommendable.

Chapter 9 However, when the mother came back, the ultimate question is: wasn’t the author’s mother dead? The truth is that the author’s mother had a serpent ancestry spread. When the father finds out about this, he returns to the Three Willows.

Chapter 10 The Phoenixes leaves the author’s valley, which is what makes the author’s family happy again. This, I think, will bring the family back, including Uncle Blanky and their mother. I am looking forward to it.

5/8 HAIKU My mother nature So delicate and brittle Taking care of us

5/8 EVALUATION OF OTHERS' HAIKU POEM.

KIWON:) The flowers that bloom The wind that blows gently, swiftly Spring is here, lets share.

Spring means to blossom Everything is born now new The start of a bloom

I thought that this haiku was describing what is so delightful in springtime.

JAEMIN:) (1)Dark and dusky sky No one wonders when to shine Earth needs our hands

(2)The ice becomes water The water would sink us down We need to cease heat

It was interesting to see the two sides of spring...

5/6 classwork!!!!! [HAIKUS] Dandellions grow. Flowers sprout in fertile land. Springtime has begun.

Leaves fall here and there Elegantly, Gracefully. Spring is over now.

5/5 HW! Purple Literature book (Children's day!!!)

Why do you think Ellen went with Lochinvar, even though she'd agreed to marry another? ~ I think that Ellen may have secretly fell in love with Lochinvar.

How do the female characters and male characters differ in response to Lochinvar? ~ Males make Lochinvar whereas females become worried.

What does Lochinvar's behavior at the wedding reveal about his values? ~ He tends to get whatever he wants.

Do you think Lochinvar's actions were justified? Why or why not? ~ Ellen didn't really care, so they were not justified. In literature, knightly behavior is characterized by bravery and a romantic attitude toward women. How does this poem illustrate such characteristics? ~Lochinvar is brave enough to steal Ellen and get married with her and they have a very romantic life.

4/29/09 HW! Purple Literature book! 1. The mood of the Seal is energetic and enthusiastic.

2. Phrases such as "I'll only stop to rake the leaves away" and "It totters when she licks it with her tongue." supports the feeling of "The Pasture"

3. I think that "you" indicates the author's friend, and the "you" in the Seal is the author.

4. If "Seal" became "Shark" then the mood will change drastically because of the character difference.

5. "The Pasture" and "Seal" are both both rhyming poems, which makes it easier for the reader to understand the poem.

 * EVALUATING APRIL.2

26. What if you had a personal genie who would grant your every wish? What would your life be like? Think of some of the details. Write a story about having a personal genie.

I have always admired Aladin, from "Aladin". One of the reasons why I think he is so appealing to me is because he has a personal genie who is able to grant Aladin with three wishes. I thought that the idea of having a personal genie was unique because my mom has always told me that everything that I wanted has to be accomplished within my capability. So I have never gotten a present from my parents. However, this summer, I got a present from my mother. I opened it, and it was a doll which looked like an Indian. Now, I might sound racist, but I personally have mad memories with Indians- I got into fights, which resulted in detensions and suspensions. Ugh, I don't even want to think about it. I couldn't understand my mother. She knows that I despise Indians, and yet she manages to give me an INDIAN doll as my birthday present? Of course, I threw the doll under my bed in order to keep myself from catching a glimpse of that doll. And I went outside to play.

Friends become friends because they have a lot of similarities, but that doesn't mean that they have no differences at all. It is actually shown through studies that people with too much similarities fail to be such good friends because they know exactly how to hurt the other person's feelings. This is why I think the conflict between friends is inevitable. As I said before, if people are too similar, the know the exact way to hurt another's feelings, since the method will be exactly the same. To illustrate, I once had a friend which whom I shared too much similarities. Because of that, I got into a lot of fights with her since we both knew the exactly how, and even though we didn't intend to do so, things just happened that way. We eventually lost our friendship. Having many friends is beneficial, but having friends who knows too much about you can be detrimental. I personally don't have any experience, but a person that I know has been 'attacked' by rumors that originated from her best friend. They eventually also got into a fight, and lost their relationship. This is why I think the conflict between friends is at some point, inevitable. This is why making friends who will fit your standard perfectly is impossible.
