Rest of the chapter SHIVA"S FIRE

Shiva’s Fire  Ch. 11 Nalini and Parvati got closer, and they came over to each other’s room more often. Parvati got to know that Nalini’s mom was ill, and her dad was a businessman. Parvati also told Nalini about her family and the weird thing that happened to her. She also told how she could see Shiva dancing, and how all the town people hated her. One day Nalini met a man. Nalini told Parvati that she didn’t want her whole life to be devoted to dancing. And she said they were going to meet again in the market place. When Nalini went to market, rest of the students heard a gunfire form the bird sanctuary. At this point, Nalini came back. When other students told her about the Gunfire, she said “Mayappan”. It was a man who stole from the wealthy people, and gave the poor people money. According to Nalini they were not in danger because they were not wealthy, and she said that she saw couple of good cars around bird sanctuary, and Mayappan also steals from the wealthy tourists. Police and people came to interview and tell some things about Mayappan. Police told that they did their best hiding the news from the town people. And soon, Mayappan was wanted. Nalini looked pale all along. The reason was that the man she met was Mayappan. He wanted her to come with him and run and hide with him. Parvati worried for Nalini.

Shiva’s Fire  Ch.12

The news of Mayappan spread quickly in the town, and in addition they put wanted posters. They put together the best man to catch them. However they could not locate them or catch the slightest of them. Indira thought it was too dangerous for Nalini to go to the market alone. So she went with Nalini. Parvati was relieved about the fact that Nalini won’t get a opportunity to meet Mayappan. As time grew, the posters were gone. It got washed away, and it bleached. Everything went back to normal. It was a peaceful Sunday. The students and Indira went to picnic. They looked at fishes and ate. Suddenly there was a weapon sound. It was Mayappan. He came, and took Nalini and went away. People once again came to interview the students and Indira. They got to know about the friendship of Mayappan and Nalini. When Indira got to know , she asked why Parvati didn’t tell this. Parvati said she couldn’t break her friendship with Nalini. Indira said if she broke one more violation, she will be sent home.

Shiva’s Fire Ch.13 Without Nalini, she had nothing else to do but dance. She devoted herself into only dancing. In the first semester, she took flute. She went in to Jungle and played flute. All the animals gathered around her when she played flute. However Indira got to know about this. She thought it was dangerous that tigers or dacoits could kill her. The only music Parvati could hear was Guru’s stick tapping the rhythm. Soon it came to the end of year performance. Parvati wanted to perform, but Guru told her only the masters can perform. In addition, Guru told Parvati how great and talented she was. He said he was sending more to Meenakshi and rest of the family. He also said that he understood why Parvati was so impatient to learn dances. It was because dancing was part of her soul. He had stated that he decided she could train to be a devadasi. She moved on the the higher class. She got two new saris as she went to the higher class. She also got a small brass lantern instead of a candle. Indira said she could give Parvati oil when she needed it. Vekat send a letter to parvati. He told that he was finally marrying and they are building a new house that contains plenty of room for them. Other students wore half saris like the beginners. Yet Parvati wore real dancer sari, and she was proud of it. She went to Guru’s dancing classes. She stayed up late to study the dance moves. And it was decided that she was going to perform. She was the only not master who was performing. Guru and Indira bought new pretty sari for the performance. Many people came on the performing day. And it finally was Parvati’s turn. She could hear and think nothing but the music and herself. When her dance was over, many people wiped their tears. Few days later, when Parvati was meditating, Kapala ran to Parvati and told that Maharaja Narasimha Deva asked for parvati, and she will perform for him.

SHIVA”S FIRE

Ch.14 Parvati was going to Nandipuaram to perform for Maharaja Narasimha Deva’s birthday. She had a full service. She even had 3 cars available just for her. And it wasn’t just normal cars, it was rare and good ones with dining table, kitchen, bed, etc. Vilasini, Indira’s old Ayah also came along to Nadipuaram. Parvati brought her previous Dancing Shiva statue with her. She bought presents for her family. Guru asked Parvati to teach younger students when she comes back. So by that, she became a true devadasi. She got different rules since she became a devadasi. Therefore, she was finally allowed to visit her family for 1 week. Parvati was imagining her family, and how they changed. She heard the news that her brother Venkat and his wife Sumitra is expecting a child. They arrived in Raja’s house. Mr. Ramujam, the secretary came out and greeted them. He said he never saw such a fine performance. They, Guru, Indira, Kapala, and Parvati went inside and met Maharaja Narasimha Deva. Raja said he remembered Parvati’s dad. And he also said that he never a person good with elephant. After this, Parvati was on her way to see her family. On the way, she saw the Jatka statue. She said to stop to the driver, got off, and prayed to the staute Jatka. When Parvati finally met her family, she hugged everyone and cried. She went in to her family’s house. It was nice and good. Meenakshi told Parvati that Sumitra was a good cook. And she made coffee for Meenakshi and Parvati. However she refused because devadasi couldn’t drink coffee. It was against the rules. Next day, auntie, Meenakshi, and Sumitra was talking about blue silk saris. Parvati wanted to buy it for Meenakshi. And Auntie, had the same emotion filled in her eyes. The eyes of blaming everything. Parvati told every detail but Mayappan and Nalini. Shiva’s Fire Ch.15

Parvati went Bazaar everyday to buy groceries. Like any other days, Parvati and Sumitra went to Bazaar. Yet suddenly Sumitra felt extremely dizzy. Her face was pale as she said, “I want to eat pineapples”. Parvati ran and got tow sweet pineapples. On the way back, Parvati saw a familiar face that looked a lot like Nalini. Venu cama and took Parvati home. As soon as she went back home, she peeled and washed pineapple, and gave it to Sumitra. After she ate pineapple, she slept. When she woke, she was all right, and they went to wash their clothes. On the way going to the river, she could feel something watching her. However, when she turned around, there was no one. After washing all the clothes, they waited in the shade for the clothes to dry. Parvati saw a young man fishing. She knew he was son of Maharaja Narasimha Deva, Yuvaraja. He was dressed like a fisherman. Two days later, Sumitra got sick again. Therefore Parvati had to go alone. When she put her foot in the water, all the fishes surrounded her. Yuvaraja asked, “ How can I catch fish when they’re all swimming around you.” Parvati started to run. She finally lost Yuvaraja. So she went to buy pineapple. On the way back, Yuvaraja followed her again. At first he asked, and then she demanded to listen to him, when that didn’t work, he begged. At night, Parvati went to her mother’s garden. Yuvaraja asked if he could talk to her again. So this time, she allowed him. But all they talked about that night was their name. Yuvaraja’s name was Rama. He wanted to meet her again, but Parvati said it was her last day staying home. So they promised they’ll see each other again. Parvati had to go, so she went inside. When she was leaving, she told Meenakshi that she have to buy pineapple everyday for Sumitra. She was sad that she had to leave.

Shiva’s Fire Ch.16

When Parvati arrived, Maharani, and her daughter Mira and Gita greeted guest. Mira and Gita took Parvati to her room. Servants followed with her bag. The Room contained big and elegant furnitures. Parvati changed to her dancing saris, and meditated. She heard a knocking sound. Because she thought it was Kalpana, she said to come in. However it was Yuvaraja. Yuvaraja saw the Shiva statue, and started the story. Yuvaraja told Parvati that Raja also own many statues carved by parvati’s dad. He said Parvati’s dad actually saved Raja’s life. Long ago, before Sundar, Parvati’s dad died, Raja asked Sundar to show how you train elephants. Even though Sundar could make elephants without training it, he did it for Raja. They chained the elephant, and beaten the elephant with a bamboo stick. It was cruel and fearful, but elephants didn’t obey unless they went through the training. The foreign people who visited wanted to see a demonstration. The elephant broke the chain that was chained, and foreigners and Raja was frustrated and scared. Sundar came and charmed the elephant. Elephant immediately stopped the stomping and backed away. Parvati was curious hat why didn’t Meenakshi tell this to her. Yuvaraja said that’s because Sundar was too modest and didn’t tell Meenakshi. And ever he stopped the elephant Sundar even apolizied. He was afraid that the elephant would get shot because it threaten Raja’s life. Sundar personally trained that elephant and right now Raja rides that elephant in every ceremony. Right after he told this, there was a knock on the door. Rama hid himself in the closet. Kalpana came in and said to try on the Saris given to her as a present. Kalpana opened the closet, but Rama was gone. Rest of the afternoon, she was completely in music.

Shiva’s Fire Ch.17 Guru, Kalpana and Pravati ate dinner, and they all gathered in Kalpana’s room and chatted a little bit. Guru talked about all the performances he did. He also talked about Raja, and how he was a great leader. Parvati was quiet because she missed her families. At night, Parvati felt lonely, and she decided she should write a letter to her mom. So she went to the closet to reach out her writing papers. Rama came out of the closet again. He told that He was born on the day his father, Raja’s birthday. And he also confessed he could remember everything from his birth. Parvati was surprised that they both was born on the same day and remembered everything. He thought he killed Sundar, Parvati’s dad. Because he remembered the awful cyclone when he was born. However Parvati thought it was her fault. Rama told that He got deadly sick, but survived. And People thought Rama gave the illness so Raja hired 2 servants to carry him for 7years. So for 7 years he wasn’t allowed to walk. Yet at the night when everyone went to sleep he went crawling everywhere in his house. He always knew he could walk. And they found out they both had strange gifts. When they were talking, there was a gecko. So Parvati called the gecko, and it came. She showed part of her talent was talking to animals. And Rama promised he would tell Parvati about Armoire, the hidden door in the closet. 

Shiva’s fire Ch.18 Parvati lied on her bed, and thought about the strange coincidence between Parvati and Rama. Visaisni came in, and bathed Parvati. She also powdered her, and Parvati got into the Sari that she was going to dance with, and got on the jewels. Kalpana came in and said to practice with the jewels because it’s tighter and heavier. Yet Parvati enjoyed the heaviness. After she tried dancing on her performance sari, she took it off, and Vilasini gave the key for the jewelry lock. She said to guard it with her life. When Vilasini went out, Rama came. He told about his gifts. He said he discovered when he was two years old. He said that other people can’t see him or think him as a total different person. He added that he was surprised that Parvati actually recognized him. Finally, the time of performance was coming up. She got dressed up. She looked at herself, and it was so pretty. Rama stared at Parvati when he saw parvati dressed up.

Shiva’s fire­ Ch.19 After the performance, Kalpana and Parvati walked back to their rooms. Kalpana talked about various kinds of guests who came to see the performance. However Parvati was not listening. She was too busy thinking of Rama. She was still considering she should meet him or not. She didn’t want to betray the honor to Guru. Rama came and they went into the armoire. For two hours Rama showed around the castle. Even though two servants went by them, they couldn’t see Parvati and Rama. After looking over the castle, they came back to room. Parvati showed her dancing. After her dancing, Rama kissed Parvati. When they kissed, Parvati, and Rama got information about each other. Parvati suddenly knew that Rama was twice born, he was from the past, and he was born to lead. And Rama realized that Parvati was twice blessed, and she was born to dance. Rama asked Parvati, “Will you come away with me?”. Rama wanted to be a doctor in America, and he suggested that she could teach dancing to little kids. It was Parvati’s first time to feel her destiny is a heavy burden.

SHIVA”S FIRE Ch.20 The bells rang. It was telling that somewhere in the castle caught fire. It happened right after Parvati danced for Rama to see her talent. So she quickly put her jewelry in the window well, and put her dress in armoire. It caught fire because Parvati didn’t turn off the fire. Other rooms were filled with smoke except Parvaiti’s. When Kapalna came, Parvati lied that she was so nervous because of the performance, which was the next day. She thought this is how Nalini felt for Mayappan. Yet she didn’t want to quit dancing. It was her duty to dance. She suddenly remembered the jewel she left on the window well. It was gone. Vilasini bathed her like usual. She wore sari, and Kalpana once again said she was beautiful. She was going to tell to Kalpana, but she thought she should tell later. She thought maybe Nalini stole her jewel. She was sad over the thought of Rama, Nalini and the lost Jewelry.

Shiva’s fire Ch.21 (LAST CHAPTER!!!)

Parvati ran to her room, Rama was waiting for her. Parvati told rama what happened. Rama said to tell the truth. He went to get the security guard. Parvat brought kalpana and told the truth. Guru said she is one of the valuable students. SO he was going to think about if he was going to kick her out. Parvati said she doesn’t know what to do. Guru said to follow her heart. Rama appeared with the security guard. Rama said monkeys also like to take shiny things. When everyone went out, rama told parvati that when he become a famous doctor, and parvati become a famous dancer, they could meet together. Parvati cried. A little after Rama came, with the jewels that parvati lost. Rama founded in hollows of trees. During the performance, she heard the voice of Shiva. “This is it. You are the magic of possibilities.”

LIterature Project Shiva's Fire

 chapter 1 This whole story is going on in Indonesia. There are many characters in this book, Shiva’s Fire. However, I didn’t get to learn what role does some of the character plays. Because the book’s setting is on Indonesia, there were many names that are rare in America. First of all, Parvati is the little baby inside her mom. She was born on the first chapter. Parvati’s mom’s name is Meenakshi, and Meenakshi’s husband is Sundar. I’m still confused about who Maharaja Narasimva Deva is. According to the book, I think he/she is a really special or important person. And Shiva, is a Statue. Mr. Balaraman is the preist, and Venkat is one of Sundar and Meenakshi’s sons. Venkat’s uncle’ s name is Sthya. It was really confusing because of the names and I got all mixed up. However, it seems really interesting how they have these names and I got to think of the foreinger’s point of view of my Korean name.

Shiva’s fire Ch.2 The story is still happening in Indonesia. At the last part of chapter one, Parvati was born. Parvati was a beautiful child with soft, curly, and black hair. Parvati was born on the same day as Maharaja Narashimha Deva’s birthday. And when Meenakshi arrives to her house that is having a feast celebrating Maharaja narashimha Deva’s birthday with her new born infant, Parvati. Yet when she arrives, it starts to rain, and the feast gets ruined and everyone goes home. That’s when Priya told Meenakshi that Parvati’s life will be extraordinary or terrible. That night, Sundar, Meenakshi’s husband was killed by the elephants. Some new characters come out in this chapter. They are, Priya, Venu, and Sathya. Priya is a old ayan, Venu is the another son of Meenakshi and Sundar. Sathya is Sundar’s brother.

Shiva’s fire Ch.3

The story is still going on in Indonesia. After Sundar died, there was a horrible storm. So Sathya came to warn and take Meenakshi and meenakshi’s sons and daughter. When Sathya came, even though they were in a hurry, Meenakshi went to get the statue that Sundar carved. The name of the statue was “Dancing Shiva” Sundar took Meenakshi and her sons and daughter to his own house. At the house, auntie waited. Auntie also had a infant and sons. When autie first saw parvati, she thought she was getting scanned, and Parvati could read her mind. And actually Parvati did understand what happened to her family. When the storm got worst, the houses started to break down. Afraid, Sundar’s family and Meenakshi’s family went in to the soap pit. They heard a gigantic sound of Sundar’s house falling down. After a little while, they came out of the pit. They were the only survivers, and the house was not entirely crashed. However when they looked around, everything including the town was crashed. When they looked for a shelter for them to live temporarily, they found the Maharaja Narashimha deva’s palace, and it was perfectly unharmed. The weather was terrible. It rained everyday, everywhere. Little Parvati didn’t know what it was to be dry. Even though her husband died, she had no time to whine and cry about it, because everyone, including herself was busy continuing their life. Because they were busy, they couldn’t cremate Sundar’s body for a long time. A little after, they cremated him. After they did, meenakshi felt much better, and she stopped crying. And when she stopped crying, the weather got a little better, and stopped raining. There were 3 new character in this chapter. Autie, Chitra, and Mohan. Autie is Sathya’s wife. Chitra is the infant of Sathya and Autie. And Mohan. The book didn’t tell who he is yet.

Shiva’s fire Ch.4 This chapter occurs in Indonesia. As I previously mentioned in the CH.3 paragraph, there was a storm. All they could eat was rice and lentil. However Meenakshi was overflowing rich and sweet milk to give to Parvati. Yet Auntie didn’t have any milk. So Chitra was getting weaker. The worst thing it could happen happened. A contagious disease was going around. Venu, son of Meenakshi and Sundar, got ill. He couldn’t eat because he was swollen. Auntie’s middle son got sick, and Chitra finally died. Auntie all blamed this to Meenakshi. She said that the milk that Meenakshi gave to Chitra killed her. (When Meenakshi’s milk was left over, she often gave it to Chitra in order to make her eat something.) And maharaja Narasimha Deva’s food was getting short. They couldn’t eat anything else from it. Raja’s son got ill. A miracle happened. Venu got better from the disease that no one survived. Little later, they started rebuilding the town again. They made temporary houses made out of dung, mud and straw. Auntie got madder at Parvati and Meenakshi everyday. She screamed bad things so Meenakshi could hear. Smart Parvati already knew what Auntie like. When Parvati lied down, she looked at the statue ‘dancing Shiva’ and thought it danced so fast the earth spun. Of course she didn’t know that Shiva was the god of destruction and lord of dance. In the town new problems were making issues. A child got caught by a tiger. There were some new characters in this really long chapter. Subash is the child who got taken by a tiger. Viswanathan family is the family who helped Meenakshi a lot in her hard times. In addition yuvaraja. I didn’t really get to know who is it.

Shiva’s Fire J [Ch.5] Town people feared the tiger. It was keep making big ferocious roars. Finally Maharaja Narisimha Deva called the hunters who could kill tigers, and he got the permission to kill the tigers. Because in these times, they weren’t suppose to kill tigers. At the first day, they couldn’t catch it. Yet the next day they did. They, the hunters and town people got happy so they were planning on a hunting party. At the party, clouds of flies were coming after. Therefore they couldn’t even do the party. In the meanwhile, Meenakshi was still feeding Parvati fresh sweet milk. The town people begun to change. They were all nice people when they had everything, but when they lost everything, they were changing. Long ago, the women were laughing, gossiping, and bragging about their daughters. However now they weren’t talking, no resting, and worst of all, no food. People through mud and said “witch” to Meenakshi. And one woman even told Meenakshi to get out of town. And she also told Meenakshi that the infant had brought destruction, and they steal food from her in-laws. She also spat on her. At the first year, the farming was going well. They harvested 2 crops and they had enough rice for everyone. I figured who Mahout is. It is someone who takes care of elephants.2

Shiva’s Fire Ch.6

This chapter is located in Indonesia, Nandipuram. Nandipuram is the town name that Parvati’s family is living in. The towned looked really poor because it was starting all over from the beginning. However next year they had plenty rice and sugar. They sold those and bought fruits, vegetables, spices, and lentil. Sathya bought plants. The town was starting to find its shape again. In the meanwhile, Parvati grew clever, healthy and charming. Yet all the parents were afraid of her. They didn’t let their children play with Parvati. Parvati had to play by herself. Because no one would play with her, she started to dance. It was the same dance moves as Lord Shiva. She often fell down form dancing. The kids came and said to dance with her, and when she fell they made fun of her. The kids made a group and surrounded her. And Mahesh and Mohan(Son of Sathya and Auntie, cousins of Parvati), was included in the crowd. Venkat(big brother of Parvati) told they were in the crowd to uncle. Sathya told they are families who have to protect one another. After, they didn’t join the crowd or help Parvati. Few days later, they went to Raja’s party. When they went in, Parvati heard music. When she followed the music, there was a puja. Puja is a group of four musicians. It was Veena, bamboo flute, humming and finally dancing. The young lady who was dancing, danced the same moves as Lord Shiva. She was amazed with it. Meenakshi came and found her, worried sick. After she came back, Parvati wanted to test her dancing skills. She jumped in the fire and danced the Lord Shiva moves. However she was not harmed at all. After this happened, Meenakshi didn’t let Parvati near fire.

Shiva’s fire Ch.7 Indonesia, the town Nandipuram spread the news that Parvati could dance on fire. Meenakshi kept Parvati inside to protect her, or stop her from being near dangerous things. Yet this didn’t go for long. Meenakshi needed help from Parvati to do all the chores that she had to do. So few days later she let Parvati go and get firewood and water. When she arrived at the woods and went in front of water to get water, the fishes and birds surrounded her. Some fishes rose up from the water. Town people quickly spread the new again that Parvati made the fish swim in the sky and birds soar beneath the water. That night when Parvati went home Auntie made a dish made out of fish she was proud of. Parvati didn’t eat because she loved to see fishes swim. But Auntie got upset that Parvati insulted her dish, and shoved it in to Parvati’s mouth. She acted weird when she ate it. Her eyes popped a little like a fish and her mouth got in to a shape. Sathya and Meenakshi quickly moved her in to the bed and she got normal again. Parvati wanted Shiva back. Everyday she thought of Shiva. To do her chores, she went to get the firewood humming a song that she didn’t know where she learned it from. When she arrived to the woods, her brothers warned that the wood pile that Parvati was heading to had a huge cobra that is willing to eat anyone alive. Yet Parvati somehow knew that the cobra won’t hurt her. She went towards the woodpile. The cobra made the same rhythm as the unknown song Parvati was humming on the way coming to the woods. Parvati danced while the cobra was making the rhythm. Parvati’s brothers and cousins stayed away from her and didn’t tell Auntie and Meenkshi. On the way Sathya was coming home from work, he heard the story that Parvati danced with a cobra. One day, Guru Pazhayanur Muthu Kumara Pillai, a famous master who is one of the best dancers came to Parvati’s house. Guru’s student was consider as a servant of god. Many parents wanted their daughter to be a student of Guru. But Guru picked few students of him in a year. Even rude Auntie was polite to Guru. Guru wanted Parvati to be a Devadasi, servant of god. He asked if Parvati could train to be a Devadasi. In addition he said Parvati will never see her family again because she had to give all of her devotion to God. And if Parvati grow to be a brillant dancer, they will pay Meenakshi.

Shiva’s Fire Ch.8 This chapter is about Parvati’s family moving near to the place where Parvati will train. It’s still in Indonesia. Parvati decided she’ll go and train to be a dancer. When she was thinking about being away from home and train, she thought she’ll never miss Auntie. Parvati rode pony to go to the train station. It was First time for Parvati to go so far away from her home. It was full of dangerous things. When they arrived, Sathya didn’t even turn to say good bye. Before the train comes, when they were waiting, Parvati promised her mom that she will be the best dancer in the whole world and make her proud. And inside she promised herself that if she gets the money she’ll buy Meenakshi many Saris. When they arrived to the town that Parvati will train, there were many people. It was a city and it had Buses, cars, and truck.

SHIVA”S FIRE

[ch.9] Finally Parvati arrived at the place she is going to live for a long time. When she got there, Indira, one of the teacher introduced the fellow students who will be learning with Parvati. Kamala, the smallest girl who came from Hyderbad, Rukmani a student from Bangalore and speaks Kannada, Malini, senior and a fine dancer, Uma, the best flute player. Parvati already missed her mom, Meenakshi. A little later, Indira called for dinner, and she also said it’s the first and the last time she is going to call everyone for dinner. It was the student’s responsibility to go eat in the right time. At meal, there was a silence rule, which is the rule explaining that you can’t talk during meals. However in Sundays, you were allowed to talk. And also, there were no laughing allowed. A bell rung, and little later Indira told them that if she rings the bell, no matter what they are doing, they have to come. She had some announcements for the students. One was about what language they will speak. Indira said that they are going to use Tamil only. In addition she talked about the paying students. Paying student was the ones who had no talent. She said they are going to only meet on the way to classes. After she spoke, Guru came and talked to them and introduced a teacher. The teacher’s name was Kalpana, also a daughter of Guru. She was the beginner’s dance teacher. After all the hard work, she fell asleep. Next morning she learned the fact you weren’t allowed to talk before the devotion. The students went to statue of Ganesha, Lord of the beginning and bowed. Parvati saw a bronze Shiva Nataraja dancing with perfect moves. Parvati was the only one who could see this. After this, they were given chores. They had to carry water pots and fill it out. It the kitchen, every time Parvati turn the knob to adjust the gas to lit a light, she heard chords and tunes. However she pretended no to notice because she was afraid of the fact she could be left out like she was in the old town. Later on she got lessons from Kala, a young lady who drew symbols. At first everything was strange. Yet as days went by she got better at Tamil and she also took meditation, and yoga classes, etc.

Shiva’s Fire [Ch.10] Parvati adjusted fast, however she still had problems with silence rule. Every time Parvati lighted the kitchen stove, she heard a long chord. And when she dropped the pan, she heard humming sound. She missed her mom so much. Yet she begun to forget how she looked like. She was struggling so hard to remember, and in the process of doing it, she broke a cup. She was widely known as the girl who broke cups, pans, and made strange things happen. Indira recognized all these strange moves of Parvati, and asked what is troubling her. Parvati said she misses her family and meal times are for them to talk with families. But Indira said she was not with her family, coldly. That night she chatted with Kamala. Parvati told Kamala that she could remember every detail of her infant life. The next day, Kamala was talking behind Parvati’s back. Nalini came next day at night. She was really jealous of Parvati’s talent and wanted to be like her. They became friends. At the morning they had a lesson with Guru. At his lesson, Parvati was the only doing the right pose. Kamala, one of the students stopped talking to her, and also other students stopped but Nalini. She hated being alone. Guru tapped the rhythm of the poses with a bamboo stick which was ‘Tai, Tai, Taiya-tai’. It was the rhythm heard from Meenakshi when she was pregnant with Parvati. The beat matched with parvati’s heart beat. Parvati wondered when are they going to start the actual dance. Every week the chores changed. This week, Nalini got the best chore. She had to go the city with Arumugan, a diver. One day the students had a surprise outing. All the students dressed up. Parvati had 1 sari that she just laundered when others had plenty to dress them all pretty. They each bought little stuff to enjoy it. Parvati heard only once from their family. But she got a letter from Vekat. It said how they are living a good life because of the money Parvati was earning. Uncle Sathya also wrote a letter too. She was happy and wrote a reply as soon as she could. One day Parvati had horrible pain and had blood on her back. After few days she got okay, and all painful and bloody again. Nalini came in and told it’s a normal thing for every girl.

<span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">What is the poet saying about humankind? Humankind-some are serious some are not. We are in different colors. What are your thoughts? I think it talks about kinds of human that exists. I think it has deeper meaning than just what it said. What did you think of the poem? The poem was good although I couldn’t hear it well because the audio wasn’t so good. Why do you think she chose the title? Because it talks about diversity of humans.

REadIng Project(due 4/20)
 * P.15[TWO KINDS] **
 * The very first story I read from the textbook is called ‘Two kinds[from THE JOY LUCK CLUB]”. It was written by Amy Tan. This story takes place in America. It is about a Chinese family who had moved to America. It has some Chinese words in it, and it gives us a idea of a Chinese people in America. **
 * The main character of this story is a Chinese girl named Shirley, who has a mother who wants to make her do everything. Shirley’s mom always wanted her to be the best. For example, class president, or a greatly talented in something. But Shirley wasn’t anything like that. When she was little, she didn’t know what was fitting for her, yet as time went by she knew that she didn’t want to be what her mother was telling her to be. She had noticed that herself was only following her mom’s dream but not hers. She started to not listen to her. Yet still that didn’t affect Shirley’s mom. She had to take Piano lessons from a deaf teacher. And later she goes in to a talent show, but she totally messes it up. After it, she didn’t want to play the piano ****<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: '바탕','serif';">, **** and she doesn’t for a while. Shirley’s mom in the end, changes. Shirley’s mom gives Shirley the piano they had, and says she has pure talent and she’ll catch up if she plays it again. After few days after giving her the piano, Shirley’s mom pass away. Shirley takes the piano, and try to do the same song that she played in the talent show, and she plays it again. She found her self playing piano really well. **
 * When I was reading this story, I felt many things and many thoughts came to me. One of them were the similarities between Shirley and me. We have few similarities. I also, like Shirley don’t like to do things by a command. Shirley first had to take piano lessons because her mother told her to. And she wasn’t really good. It is same for me. If I do it out of force of my mom or anybody else, I can’t really well. Even though I doing the same thing, if I do it out of my opinion, I do much better. So I think both of us, Shirley and I do things better when we do it out of our own will. **
 * In this story, you can compare and contrast Shirley and Shirley’s mom. They both want to achieve what they want. Shirley’s mom wants Shirley to be a genius in somewhat category, but Shirley is trying not to lose her self by only following her mom’s opinion. She didn’t want to be somebody else just because of her mom. I think they both want to do the things by their own will, and because of that, they are not respecting each other, and makes a conflict. **
 * I think piano means something important. Shirley’s mom leaves the piano, and dies. One of the piano’s meanings are Shirley’s mom’s last present, and love for her daughter. She knew Shirley had a talent in piano, and she left it for Shirley to do it on her own will. Piano’s second meaning is the new starting point. Shirley begins piano again, and she feels the feeling that she didn’t feel for a long time. She found what she was finally good at. So she is starting all over again with the piano. So this is why I think Piano is the symbolic meaning. **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(75, 172, 198); line-height: 200%; font-family: '#필기체';">

P.172 THE HUMMING BIRD THAT LIVED THROUGH WINTER The second story I read was called ‘ The Hummingbird That Lived Through winter’ By William Saroyan. When I read the title, I was very excited because I had never seen a hummingbird before. Yet I have heard that hummingbird’s wings are so fast you can’t see them, and their heartbeats are incredibly fast. It was fun to read about an interesting animal. This story was about a Hummingbird that was hurt and couldn’t fly on a freezing winter day. A Old person named Dikran, who was almost blind helped the hummingbird live. Because he was almost blind, he needed help from his neighbor boy. They both helped the humming bird recover by giving it warm honey. And they just let the humming bird go out and fly, not keeping it until spring. This story reminded me the ants that lived in front of my house. Few years ago, I saw a bunch of ants all going under a rock. My brother and I lifted the rock and found a actual anthill. We saw the queen ant, too. The ants were working so hard. We wanted to give them a break. So we placed some snack bars and Oreos under the rock. Like Dikran, I helped a living creature. I felt very good about it, and I think Dikran and the neighbor boy did too. There were two characters in this story. Dikran and the neighbor boy. Personally, I think Dikran is kind- hearted because he could have just left the bird dying, but instead, he brought it home and took care of it. The neighbor boy was also kind because these days, if you ask a teenager something, they don’t reply and just ignore, but unlike the usual teenagers, he had answered and helped the humming bird. Dikran let go the bird after he thought it had recovered, yet the neighbor boy thought he shouldn’t and take care of it. This is the difference between Dikran and the boy. Dikran is more knowledgeable in nature and animals because he knows if the hummingbird stays, it won’t hang out and adjust to the other hummingbirds when the spring comes. Yet the neighbor boy is warm hearted and protective. He wants the hummingbird to be safe until the spring. I think Dikran’s true, deep meaning of cure is not to help the bird survive. He is saying that the hummingbird has to lean how to survive, not give help for survival. To understand this better, I can tell a story. Long time ago there were two bear families. One father bear caught all the salmon for the daughter bear. To the contrary, the other father taught how to catch the salmon even though it was very tiring for the daughter bear. A few days later, both father bears died by a hunter’s pistol. The daughter bear that had the father who caught all the salmon for her couldn’t survive because she didn’t know how to catch the salmon. However, the other daughter survived because she learned, rather than receive help, form her father. So I think in this story, the father bear who caught the salmon is the neighbor boy. He only thinks about the present but not the future. Dikran is like the father bear who taught how to catch the salmon, help it survive. Therefore, I think the hummingbird represents the true meaning of cure. <span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: '#필기체';"> p.122 SEVENTH GRADE

The third story I read was immensely interesting. It was about a seventh grader boy liking a girl. Even though it is quite common to see a seventh grade student liking other girl or boy, it was fun to read about it and see how the boys felt about girls and how they try to impress them. This story was titled ‘Seventh Grade’ and written by Gary Soto. The main characters of this story are Victor and Teresa. Victor liked Teresa for a long time. This year he promised himself he would make Teresa his girl. So he chose French as his elective because Teresa was taking it. In French class, the teacher, Mr. Bueller asked if anyone could speak French. Since Teresa was in his class, Victor wanted to impress her. He raised his hand without thinking. Mr. Bueller asked something in French to Victor, and of course he couldn’t answer correctly. However, Teresa thought he could, and she asked if he could help her. When Mr. Bueller saw this, he thought of himself in his early days. He borrowed different cars to impress his girlfriend. Yet when he ran out money they broke up. That day Victor checked out three French textbooks. I am sure that everyone had tried to impress someone. It might have worked for some people, but for others it might not have worked. For me, unfortunately, it didn’t work. To my friends, I told them I was totally awesome at cello. I knew I was good at cello, but didn’t know I was awesome at it. However in school orchestra, I couldn’t play so well, and I got very embarrassed. So I learned that I shouldn’t brag about something I have not perfectly learned about it. I think Mr.Bueller and Victor are the same in some ways. They both had a girl that they liked or loved. They both tried to impress them. Yet the difference is, Mr. Bueller failed to impress his girlfriend, and Victor did impress Teresa. And it is not a big deal to lie that you can speak French, but borrowing different cars just to impress your girlfriend is wrong. If your girlfriend is going out with you only because of your car, she is doing so only because of your money. You cannot buy friends with money. You need to earn them. I think the hidden lesson for this story is: do not lie. In Korea, there is a idiom that relates to this. ‘A thief who steals a little needle can later steal an expansive cow.’ This idiom was made after a story about a thief who stole a needle at first because it was small. But later on, he stole bigger things and he tried to steal a cow, but he got caught. This could happen to Victor. If he is keep lying to impress Teresa or anyone else, he will gradually gain lying skills and won’t even be guilty. Also, sooner or later on he will lose something important. Therefore, Don’t lie. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">P.398 THE LUCKIEST TIME OF ALL For the fourth story, I chose to read a story named <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">‘ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">The luckiest time of all <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">. This story was written by Lucile Clifton. To be honest, I chose to read this story because it was short, however this story was just as good as the other stories. It was short and strong. It <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">s about a story how Mrs. Elzie F. Pickens met her husband. As I mentioned previously, this is a story of Mrs. Elzie F. Pickens. She is telling her granddaughter how she met her husband, Mr. Pickens. It all happened when Mrs. Pickens and her best friend went to travel around. They were just going to look around before the show. While they were walking they saw the dancing dog. The dog was dancing faster and faster as the music. Mrs. Pickens and her best friend were immensely excited. Best friend threw a penny and Mrs. Pickens also threw 2 pennies. And then she realized it was her lucky stone. It had hit the dog <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">s nose. Next thing she knew was that the dog was chasing her. The young Mr. Pickens came to help her. He had also helped her to find her lucky stone. When Mrs. Pickens <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">s granddaughter asked if the stone was unlucky, because the lucky stone almost got Mrs. Pickens bitten. Yet Mrs. Pickens said that it was the luckiest time of all. She had met Mr. Pickens. When I read this story, I had agreed with the point that unlucky thing can lead you to luckiness. When I was little, I didn <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">t want to go to school and I was terribly sick. With the hope that I <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">m not going to get better and just be sick and play at home, I slept. The next morning, I was fine. I was just plain healthy. I was almost crying because of my unluckiness. When I went to school, I figured out it was a movie day. We watched movie all day long with our friends. Therefore I thought I was extremely lucky because if I hadn <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">t got better, I would have stayed home, sick, in bed, not watching any movies. So I thought before the lucky thing happens there are always unlucky things that you have to bear. There was almost one character in this story, so it was kind of hard to find what characters to compare to. So I compare Mrs. Picken and her granddaughter. Mrs. Picken thought this was pure luck. On the contrary, her granddaughter believed that is was unlucky. I think Mrs. Picken is a positive thinker. Even though she could have gotten bitten, she only saw the bright side and thought it was luck. However, her young granddaughter thought it was unlucky because she almost got bitten. I, personally agree with Mrs. Picken. The reason is, you don <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">t die when you get bitten by a dog, you are just simply hurt and you can be cured. Yet if she didn <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">t meet Mr. Picken, she could have a whole different life. Your husband, or lover is important than your little scar that can easily be cured. The hidden message for this story is you have to earn it if you want it. If you want something, you need the burden. You need the process. Without it how can you achieve it? If you want to get good grade, you need to study. If you do study, you will get a good grade, but if you don <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">t, you get a low grade. You get everything in return. Life is fair. No one can achieve anything without the burden. For example, Barack Obama. He had great number of hardships. He had to move around terribly a lot, and he had at wake up at 5 o <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">clock every day to not forget English. So if you want something, try your best and earn it.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">P.280 ALL SUMMER IN A DAY

I read my 5th, the very last story. When I saw the title, I was curious. How can all summer be in a day? Yet as soon as I read the first few pages, I understood. This story was titled, <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">“ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">All Summer in a Day <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">” <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">, and it was written by Ray Bradbury. This interesting story took place in planet Venus. It <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">s about a civilization in Venus. The main character in this story is Margot. Margot is a girl who came from Ohio 5years ago. She could remember the feeling of the sun burning against her skin, unlike the other students in Venus. She could also remember how it burned like a fire in the stove. However the students in Venus had only seen the sun once, almost 7years ago. Venus was always raining. Margot hated it. Because she couldn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t forget the sensation of sun, she couldn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t get along with other students. She was an outcast. The next day was the 7th year. Which meant, the sun will rise again for 2hours. Yet the students locked her up in the closet for fun. After a little while they forgot about her and went out to enjoy the sunshine they only have once in a 7year. They, the students came in after they enjoyed the sunshine. It started to rain again as usual. Soon they realized they had locked Margot up and she won <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t be seeing any sunshine for another 7 year. They knew how much it was to her. She didn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t even like to take shower because she didn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t like the rain and loved the sun and the warmth. No one broke the silence. They were shocked at what they did to her. After I read this story, I thought it was really, truly sad. The students might have done it for fun, but poor Margot wouldn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t be able to see the sun for 7 years. I felt really bad for her. I was once in the case of the fellow students. To be honest, I said something in sarcasm to my friend, of course for fun. But later I got to know that she was seriously hurt from what I said. Therefore I realized, I shouldn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t only look from my point of view. I should also think from other people and respect them because they are all unique and special. When I think of it right now, I feel extremely sorry for my friend, and I am truly embarrassed of my mistake. I think the lesson for this story is, don <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t bully or even make fun of others. Even though you say it for fun, it could offend other people. And it is bullying depending on if she/he feels bad about it, not the bully <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">s intention. Many people doesn <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 맑은 고딕;">’ <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY바다M','serif';">t seem to know bullying is almost like a crime. Great number of students who get bullied can suffer from melancholia. And 70~80% of the melancholia patients commit a suicide. Therefore they end up dead. You might have made fun of your friend for a joke, but your one word can kill your friend. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'HY나무L','serif';">

 * One day, as you were petting and talking to your friend’s dog, it answered back! Write a story about this. **
 * ‘ I love dogs. I had read a lot about dogs because I wanted to have one. But because of my brother’s allergy, and mom’s hatred of dogs, I could never get one. Even though I couldn’t have dogs, I still love to know all about dogs.’ **
 * Just as usual, I went to my friend Sarah’s house after school. When we were just going in to her house, I could hear barking in her garden. **
 * “ Oh! I forgot. Did I tell you I got a dog ever the spring break? His name’s Terry. He’s a golden retriever.” **
 * I was overfilled with joy. A dog in my best friend’s house was the vest thing that could happen to me. **
 * “I’m just going to leave my stuff inside, can you wait here for a second?” Sarah said, smiling her usual kind smile. **
 * “Oh, sure! I’ll just wait here.” I replied back. When Sarah went in, I started to pet Terry. Terry was quite big even though he had been in Sarah’s house for a week. **
 * “Who’s the cute boy? Cute! Cute! Cute Terry~” I said, full of love. **
 * “Will you stop that> It’s not so pleasant being a cute boy. And in fact, I am not a boy. I am a girl. O.K?” Terry said by kind of barked and moved his mouth in a weird way. I was shocked. I have done a lot of researches about dogs, and I have read a lot of essays and books. But I have NEVER EVER in my life heard about a talking dog. I said, once again the same thing less confidently. **
 * “Who… Who’s the cute boy? Cute. Cute. Cute Terry?” **
 * “I said. STOP. It. God, don’t you understand English?” said Terry. **
 * The word ‘English’ was spinning inside my head. English? Have I gone crazy and hearing voices? **
 * “ I’m sorry you had to wait so much. I had to get something to my mom.” Said Sarah panting. I was amazed. I couldn’t talk. I was still looking at the dog. Was this possible? A talking dog? I said the same thing again. **
 * “Who’s the cute boy? Cute, cute, cute Terry.” **
 * I waited for Terry to talk back. **
 * “ Warf! Warf! Bark!” Barked Terry. What had happen to him. Why wasn’t he talking in front of Sarah? **
 * “Christina Koo! Christina! Ye EUn! Are you O.K.?” said Sarah now looking a little scared, and shaking me. 3 words came out of my mouth, powerlessly. **
 * “Your… Dog… Talks…” I said looking at Terry. **
 * Next thing I knew was that I was in the mental clinic. **

Every two months, there was a special event. On Monday, there was a new poster that was plastered to the wall. It read, “NEW!!! Ultra-brilliant baby with the mind of a 30-year old!” I stared at the poster for a few more seconds. “A baby with the mind of a 30-year old?!?!”, I thought. It was very unbelievable. I decided to go see for myself. I stepped into a large, circular space to find myself amongst people who were oohing and aahing at something in the center. I squeezed myself in between people to see the baby. Sandwiched between the watchers, I witnessed the amazing baby. He spoke perfectly in his squeaky baby voice with perfect grammar and vocabulary. When asked questions, he would answer like a genius, using all of his knowledge. I was extremely taken back. I returned to my home and sat on the bed, dwelling over how intelligent the baby was.

2. Summary of the novel

- The main character’s name is Juan de Pareja. Juan is a slave of a mistress. But Juan’s mistress was very kind, and gave him easy workd such as writing letters for her. Yet one day because of a disease, master and mistress both pass away. So like the other stuff, mistress’s nephew gets Juan. The nephew, Diego Valequez was also a kind man. Valezquez was a famous artist in Spain. Because he was so great, he even got the opportunity to draw the portrait of the king. One day Juan asks Diego if he can be his apprentice, but Diego said no. Juan got depressed, but soon he gets to know that it is illegal for a slave to create artwork. Yet Juan couldn’t bare without painting. So he started to practice art secretly without anyone knowing. Like always, one student came to be a apprentice of Diego Valezquez. The new apprentice’s name was Bartolome Esteban Murillo. Barolome was a kind, friend. At the time, Juan was worring more than every about feeling guilty of stealing paints from master, and kind of betraying him with lying. So he told Bartolome, a good friend of Juan. Bartolome said it is not a sin to draw, but it is wrong to steal master’s paint. And he gave Juan paint so he can not be a sinner. Diego had a lot to paint. So once again, they had to leave their home again and had to go off to Italy. On the way, in the ship, Diego was getting the clean clothes from a box. When he was getting it out, he got scratched hardly. His right hand was all swollen. For a person who has artistic things or music as their jobs, hand, especially losing the right hand was fatal. But as days passed by and even when they arrived Italy, Diego’s hand didn’t get better. Juan was so worried, he went to a nearby church and prayed a lot, and magically when he returned to the master, his cuts and scars were gone. Diego was so happy, and said he would give one wish to Juan. Juan saved the wish for something else. After Juan and master returned to their home, mistress was ill so she hired a female slave named Lolis. (Lolis was a woman with strong independent personality. She hated being owned.) Soon Juan gave his love to Lolis. Few days passed, master found one of Juan’s paintings. Diego didn’t punish or get mad at him. Instead, he set Juan free. When Juan was set free, Juan said he was going to use his wish. He wanted to marry Lolis. So mistress freed Lolis and they got married. Soon after Juan got married, mistress died. And shortly after mistress died, master died. Juan and Lolis didn’t feel good about the house they were living in, since a lot of people they loved died there. They moved to Sevile and met Bartolome. Bartolome said Juan and Lolis can live in his house. - After I read this book, I really felt sad. It was a happy ending, but I felt so bad for Diego Valezquez. If he was born a little later he could have lived longer with mistress with medical care. And when I read the part that Juan wanted to draw so badly, but he couldn’t without doing it illegal. Because I learn art right now, but I always get annoyed and don’t concentrate, when Juan was practicing art secretly. I really regretted and I should really work hard because there are great number of people who wants to learn but can’t. I think it was really nice of him to free Juan and help him get married. I wish I am that nice and kind to everyone.

4. Evaluation of the novel

- I would recommend this book to others. Especially to the people who are interested in art or slavery. This book tells great deal of art, especially light. It tells how different places has different light in what way. And it also tells about what slaves couldn’t do in the 17th century in Spain. How slaves couldn’t paint, and other people felt bad if they saw them. To some people who cannot draw, or doesn’t understand the joy, and the delicate work of art may think this book was boring. This book had a bit of a history and a bit of art stories. It was a book full of combination. So it might be boring to some people, but to me it was wonderful. <span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 바탕;">

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.

Having a personal genie who grants every one of my wish would be great. I could do all the things I want and I could get all the things that I want. I know I’ll have tons of wishes, but I will only write the three interesting wishes that I really want with all my life.

First, I would like to go to the future and see how I turn out. What will happen to me. I want to see the things I own, what University I go, how will I look when I grow up, how will my friends look when they grow up, and a lot of things. I would really want to see how I turn out. I’m very curious of what job will I have, and will I like that job? Because if I know my job, when I come back from the future, I can study more of that part and become more knowledgeable and change the future a little bit.

Second, I would like to go back to the past with my knowledge now. <span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family: 바탕;">If I go back to the past with all my knowledge right now, I would be born with all my smartness. Then I would be considered as a genius, because, to think of it, there was no one who was born with a 15year old knowledge in the history. I would become very famous and I would keep on studying and I will be the first one to go to Ivy league University when I’m 5 or 6 years old.

Third, I want to make my grandfather alive. My grandfather loved me so much. But passed away 8years ago. I barely remember him now, and 3 of my cousins never saw him. I really want him to come alive. A lot of people, more than 100people miss him right now. He had a lot of students because he was a teacher, and he had a lot of people who followed him because he was really good and got a lot of medals in Tae Kwon Do. He was also a pastor in a church, and he made great number of churches in poor country. He could speak 4 languages even though he was a orphan. I’m very proud of my grandfather. And for all the people who misses him, and for my family, especially mom, I would make him alive.

I will use my wishes to go to the future, past, and to make my grandfather alive. I think I’ll use my genie and my other wishes for good, and to help poor people.

Think of your favorite animal and describe that animal.

My favorite animal is dog. Dogs are very loyal, and cute. Some smart dogs know the moods of the master. For example, poodles, which is the 2nd smartest dog breed knows if the master is in a happy mood or a sad mood. There’re a lot of cases when the dogs save the master. Dogs are good company to keep when you’re lonely. You can pet, play, decorate, and even talk to them to feel better. Some scientist said dogs are even good for health to the disabled people and for little children to grow concentration in studying.

Favorite Music.2/22

I love every music in the world. But I like different music in different situation. I usually listen to music when I'm studying, and If I listen to fast songs, I do my work faster. So I try to listen to songs that have fast beats. But when I'm in a sad mood, I like to listen slow songs. When I hear a slow song when I'm studying, I usually slow down or I dont' have concentration on what I'm doing, so I think music is a big part of me.
