<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Shiva's Fire Summary #10~#21
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Chapter10 Now Parvati tried to ignore the bronze Shiva Nataraja dancing his perfection amid a hissing ring of fire in the inner sanctum of the temple. And every day Nalini prodded and poked, nudging Parvati through the puja and past the dancing panels on the east wall of the temple. Fore as long as it was Parvatis morning task to light the kitchen stove, she had to create a diversion from the beena chord that fanned out. Parvati really missed her family, and this also caused problems with the silence rule. At first fleeting images of her mother the strong gentle hands, almond-shaped eyes, strong curved brow. In the first half year Parvati heard only once from her family. The mail came each Wednesday, in the hottest part of the tropical afternoon. After their midday meal Indira handed out letters on the veranda of the bungalow, and the students went back to their rooms for an hour to read their mail and to rest.

Chapter11 Nalini and Parvati visitied often at night. They talked of their families. Nalini's father was a businessman, a shopkeeper with seven children, who lived in a small falt in a gray building in the city of Bombay. Nalini was the third of four girls, who had slept together on straw mats on the floor of the cramped living room as they grew up. Both of her elder sisters were married. Nalini has someone to wait. She claimed that the person didn't come today.

Chapter12 Indira decided it was too dangerous for Nalini to go alone with Arumugam to the bazaar, and so she or Kalpana went along. Parvati was glad that Nalini would have no chance to meet Mayappan there. When Parvati went to Nalini's room, her friend had little to say, so Parvati just sat besider her on the string cot until Nalini fell asleep. Later on, Indira claimed that the DIG tells me you knew about Nalini's friendship with Mayappan. Parvati told Indira that she is her friend and that the Mayappan kidnapped her.

Chapter13 Parvati was alone. So she lost herself in study and dance. She practiced her abhinaya, the comvined movements of head, torso, arms, and legs, before a full-length mirror in the dance lassroom and meditated before classes. She had chosen to study the bamboo flute her first term, and on days when the heat ad damp were oppressive she went in to the jungle to play.The Guru grew very serious. He believes and thinks that the music is a part of Parvati. She wondered whether the Guru knew about her causing the cyclone and dancing in the fire, about the cobra and all the waysin which she was different. She looked back down at the floor for a moment, as if the answers she sought might lie imbedded in the straw mat.

Chapter14 The train wasn't what Parvati had expected. The saloon car was furnished with carved teak tables and tchairs inlaid with ivory and handsome dhurries woven in traditional designs of blue and brown and red on the floors and draped over chairs and divans and tables. The other two cars were divided into sleeping compartments, storgae, a small kitchen, and servant's quarters for Indira's old ayah, whose name was Vilasini. Kalpana sat quietly beside Parvati, keeping one eye on Vilasini, who held the valise with the dance costume and the case with the jewelry Parvati was to wear from her performance. The jewelry had belonged tl Kalpana's ,other the late Lakshmi, who had been one of India's greatest dancers. Parvati had tried on the costume, but she didn't see the ornaments.

Chapter15 On this chapter, Sumitra delievers some vegetables from Meenakshi's garden. They sold these to buy things they needed. One day Sumitra felt dizzy. So she ran back home and told Parvati to give her some pineapple. She put the fruit in her basket and hoisted it to her head. As she turned forward, she went to the river to wash clothes. Later on, the sun was too high,

Chapter16 An armoire stood beside the door and an ancient teak fan turned slowly overhead and the room was enormous. Parvati changed into a dance sari to meditate and practice. She was sitting comfortably on the floor, her legs folded in the lotus position and her back to the window, deep in meditation, when a knock came which she thought that it was Kalpana. It was actually Yuvaraja. Mahanti and Parvati gets along with each other.

Chaper17 India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Lord Mountbatten, the V iceroy at the time of India's independence, are the stories that Guru performed and told. This is when she opened the armoire and reached inside for the paper in her cloth bag. She thought she saw a faint movement, and a neatly folded towel fell from its shelf to there floor. Parvati came back, and a small sound escaped from her throat. This when she gains her voice.

Chapter18 That night Parvati lay in her bed and thought of the Yuvaraja and his gifts. When Yuvaraja gave Paravati gifts, she thought about them. Vilasini and Parvati were talking to each other. After Parvati was done, she replaced the case in the armoire, Parvati lay down to rest. She fell asleep almost immediately. A lught tapping from inside the armoire awoke her. She went to the door and listened. The tappping kept on going on and on and she unlatched the door. Ram came in wearing his weird clothing. And gave the good news. She had finished when Vilasini knocked. Parvati let her in, and the old ayah went through the narrow doorway to the bathroom and ran hot water in the large tub.

Chapter19 When the banquet was over, Parvati and Kalpana walked back along the corridor the way they had come. Kalpana talked animatedly about the other guests, but Parvati was quiet. when Kalpan realized Parvati was not listening, she fell silent. Parvati worried that her friendship with Rama would have serious consequences. How could meeting the Yuvaraja secretly in her room be part of her dharma. She did not want to embarrass the Guru and the gurukulam and her family. But at the same time she thought of the Yuvaraja's touch on her hand. Rama crossed to Parvati's bed, gathered up the pillow that sat on the coverlet.Rama wants them to believe in her, but Parvati thinks there are too much at a stake.

Chapter20 Parvat has something she is in love with. She is in love with jewelry, which is quite amusing. She grabbed it up from the chair and table, and just as the door opened she just put it in. Jasmine glanced into the window, and closed the shutters. In this chapter she realizes a lot of things. Nandipuram rejoiced, Parvati's heart grew darker. She thought of the impossibility of her love for Rama and one of the missing jewelry. And she thought again of Nalini. Parvat had become a madem.

Chapter21 Parvati slipped away when the crowd pressed forward and separated her from Kalpana. The pavilion was so noisy it was impossible to hear above the din of voices and music. Parvati moved quickly through the crowd, and the profusion of colored clothing throbbed before her aching eyes. She clasped her hand and said thank you to Nalni being her friend. She loves dancing and she enjoys staying on the stage and showing crowds her dancing skills. She just enjoys it. In conclusion, i really enjoyed this book. Actually it wasn't really fun or attractive at first. I really disliked this book. But as the story goes through it is very fond and loving. I love it how it ends, it seems ordinary and mundane, but it's different from other stories such as fantasies and fiction stories. The best part is when i read about her enjoying her life as being a dancer. And i also enjoyed the process she went through in her life to be a better dancer and to improve her dancing skills. When i first got this book, i wasn't really interested and excited about. I made fun of the name, Shiva, what an extraodinary name? But as i went through i started enjoying the book.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1. How would you describe the mood of "Seal"? Find at least three words or images that help create this mood. Seal is slippery. It moves swiftly on the ice. Three words that describe the seal's movement is WOW, SMOOTH, and SLIPPERY 2. Although the speaker in The Pasture is going out to perform chores, he makes them sound attractive and inviting. What images contribute to this feeling? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Some of the images that MAKES THE BEAUTFIUL MOTION of spring where you're doing your chores. It brings a very pleasure feeling, that it gives you the idea to contribute the feeling from images. 3. Who might the 'you' be that the speaker of 'The Pasture' is addressing? Who do you think is being addressed as 'you ' in 'Seal'? "You" that the speaker of "The Pasture" is addressing is probably a friend or one of your families who will be helping you with the chores. The "You" addressed in "Seal" is probably a person who is watching the seals move or maybe in the point of view of another sea animals who is watching the seal, since they are giving how they feel and look when they saw the seal. 4. Suppose 'Seal' became 'Shark.' In what ways would this change the poem? The way they described the feeling of seal's movement will be totally different, since seal move in swerving way, but shark will move more fast, and sharply. Shark will move so much quicker that will give totally different feeling with seal. 5. What do the speakers in 'The Pasture' and 'Seal' have in common? support your answer with details from the poems. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">'The Pasture' and 'Seal's speaker have in common of being good at attracting the reader's mind and eyes even though it is just a simple image that they are showing. Also, the two different speakers have wrote with the feeling of reality and with the words that are very affective on attracting readers' minds.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Essay
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The day i invented a time machine in the back of my garage, was the day i went from just your average teenage girl to woman in her twenties. I didn't know how i got started or how i even invented a machine of that kind... but with the help of my Uncle Genius, everything turned out just right. The time machine was created by different bits and pieces of broken metal I found hidden in my uncle's lavatory. After the masterpiece was completely finished and tested a dozen of times, i stepped into the machine and allowed it to do its work. A flash of lightning blinded my eyes and as soon as i opened my eyes again, i was already transformed into a woman in her twenties. I was 25. It was a day i had experiences with getting a job as an editor and I did a lot of crazy actives- such as bungee jumping! My day was thrilled with exciting events and I ate as many ice creams as i wished. After I got tired from all the playing and experimenting in editing, I knew i had to return back to my real world. I WANTED to return back to my teenage years. As i stepped back into the machine, I pressed the red button to take me back to my youth years...and it did its magic. I was thirteen again.

It is very interesting if you know everything about cats. They are very sneaky. Even though they are pretty and colorful, they still steal and take foods away from the market which is not a very good thing to do in a market. Since the pretty cat can be punished by the awful thing the cat did.

This picture is very funny. These two men are talking, and the woman who is pouring wine in the cup is trying to hear what they are talking about. It looks funny, since the woman is pouring the wine weirdly. I think later on in this picture, the woman will overflow the wine by being too profound in the story the men are talking about. I can see how realistic this artist is since he drew the woman's eyes and the way she is holding the cup. When I first saw this picture I first saw the wine. After that I saw the woman's suspicious eyes.



This picture's main topic is the girl with a white dress but to me i see an ugly girl with a blue dress on. The girl with a white dress looks like a princess. She has a lot of servants and painters around her. I think the drawing is really realistic. The folds on the dresses look realistic. Back behind the girl, there are two people and it looks like someone's picture, but it also looks like a reflection through the mirror. This picture looks peaceful and very placid. The artist used bright colors in the front and subside colors in the back.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">17.Do you disagree about the fact that most television shows are not productive?
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Most of the people in Korea watches television. Nowadays people watch television every Monday and Tuesday from 10 PM to 11PM. Korean teenagers can't get their eyes off from this drama, "Boys Before Flowers". This is a story about love, which almost all teenagers enjoy watching. Also a really famous singer comes out of this drama. If everyone is crazy about this drama, who would want to miss it. But I think watching television is a waste of time. Some television programs can be helpful, but most of Korean program are not productive nor necessary. I strongly believe that none of the television shows are beneficial for teens. Especially this new hot drama called "Boys Before Flowers".

First, television is addictive. Addiction is a very strong and effective word. If you get addicted to something, it would be really hard to get back to normal. Most of the addiction is made when you really enjoy and like it. Like, playing can be an addiction if you really enjoy and like playing. But I never saw a person getting addicted in weird and creepy stuff like studying. It is really easy to get addicted in television since 70% of people are already addicted to it. Like, my dad watches television everyday every Saturday and Sunday from 10 PM to 11 PM. And 80% of Koreans are watching "Boys Before Flowers". In school if you don't know anything about Gu Jun Pyo, you have nothing to talk about in school, since almost of your classmates will chat about him.(Gu Jun Pyo is the main character in Boys Before Flowers)

Second, television dramas are not productive. Usually dramas are about love. I personally think for teen's life, love is not needed. Teens are still immature. Some never think anything is serious for them. So I think love is for mature adults. Some people will think it would be late and that they will never get a boyfriend. But it is never late if you seek a person when you're in college. Also since technology is advanced and developed. Later on, when you grow up you can go into some sites and watch "Boys Before Flowers". For example, my friend never watched "Boys Before Flowers". She is trying to save up all the series to watch later on. She thinks it would be much beneficial if she studies now to earn enough money for her family. And then she was planning to watch "Boys Before Flowers" after when her children graduate college, which I think it's awkward but a very intelligent and creative thinking. I personally think now is not the time to seek and watch at Gu Jun Pyo's face. Your entire life is related during your teen time. If you study hard, you receive the results, but if you don't, that is what you get for not studying.

Third, television is an electric device. All electric devices functions with electric. Electric is energy that is powerful enough to move devices. Since it functions with energy, if you watch too much television you're eyes can be effected. For example, I myself. I watched too much television when I was about ten years old. When I came back from school, I always watched Pokemon. Which was fun, but it leaded to a great disaster. I started wearing glasses when i was in third grade! Since I wore glasses approximately, four years i am very used to it, but my eyesight is really not good. I can barely see stuff when I take off my glasses. Also, there is another reason why you have to be aware of electric devices is because you can receive electron waves. Receiving little amount of electron waves wouldn't be good, but it wouldn't really harm you. But you receive electron waves over limit, your growth hormone will start decreasing. That means, if you receive too much electron waves, it can slow down the growing process. If you watch ten hours of television everyday, your growth hormone can suddenly disappear.

In conclusion, television is a great thing. It is a wonderful device you can use. From television, you can receive useful and relevant information, But in the other hand, for teens, if you have some leisure time, I hope "Boys Before Boys" is not one of your choice. I don't mean television is totally bad, and that we're suppose to destroy it. I just think it would be great if everyone watches news instead of dramas. Also television is really effective. Since television is an electric device, if you watch too much, you're eyesight will not really get better. = =
