Rich in Family
Written by Linda Greenlaw
Rich could have lots of different means for people. Usually people see it as wealthy. However, in this paragraph the author feels love in the other way. Her mom is a great person who always has a positive view of everything. Like what she always told to author and the other 3 her children, life is good because they have the best father in the world. And the most important her mom did is giving a love unit to her family.
Simply Wonderful
Written by Daniel Rodriguez
In this article, the author’s mom is a simple person who worked in a factory with a sewing machine. And childhood life of Daniel’s is simply also. Why did I use that much simple? Because the purpose that lead author to write this entire essay is to explain the importance of simple. Since the author’s parents were immigrate to the State everything for them was new. Therefore, the life for her entire was hard. The mom didn’t face down to those problems. She managed and supported her family’s life simply.
My Opinion
After I went through these two paragraphs, they give me lots of new ideas for life. First, I know “rich” is not only based on asset; however, it could be something invisible. For example, like love, or some spiritual touch from soul. Second, I found a common with the second mom which “simple” is good.

The Lennon Companion 170 - 248
This book was written with people who know about John Lennon by author. First, it shows John and Yoko's interview that is famous. They talked his thought about war and peace. He had been appealing violence (war) is wrong with his wife. His a lot of songs have relation to his childhood. The interview had such a his background. Then he met Yoko so that he tried to love somebody and appeal peace.
Next expression of this book is his couple solo albums that are criticized by people. After the end of the Beatles, the members released their solo albums. John Lennon and Paul MacCartney have been compared as definitely two different types of great song writers. At the first time of their solo activities, John and Paul fought each other because of one reason that is related to Yoko. His first album 'imagine' showed his first expression of peace. This song, everyone knows, is still remarkable in the world. After released this album, he and she energetically campaigned against Vietnam War. Then FBI watched their activity against the war. They were criticized by people who agreed with the war. However a lot of young people followed him because he was charisma and his massage affected to the world so that American government was afraid of him. Then John and Yoko were exiled from the United States. But they stayed there. He had stopped to release albums for five years because he had been a house husband. However he released his last album ' Double Fantasy' that shows love he thinks. Sadly, he was killed by his wild fan. It is really wrong that murders become famous because they kill famous person.
At the end of this book, author says his biography and the Beatles life. His massages that appeal to us are shown by this book.
Opinion
I am done to read this book finally. and it was hard to read and summarize. However this book shows his life that is interesting for me. His life is great and wonderful. As a member of the most famous group in the world, he had been appealing peace. He though love can change the world. His interesing word is I'm not hero but you are hero which means you should do something by yourself. His massages are still alive and yesterday was the anniversary of his death. I think if each person faces and hopes seriously, this world will be better. He taught me a lot of things.

Harry Potter 8 Gabriella
page137-page151
Today was a terrible day for Harry! He went into the dungeon which he had been there before. There were many people there. They all wore plum-colored robes. Cornelius Fudge who was the Minister of Magic sat in the middle of them. At first, he asked Harry some questions and created difficulties for Harry. And then the only one who can saved Harry appore in the dungeon. He was Dumbledore. Harry explained why he had to use magic before his brother's eyes. And he had explained that the dark load had come back, but Cornelius didn't believe him. He thought it was total wrong! And Dumbledore helped Harry, but there was no good reason. That maked Harry pretty angry, but he could do nothing. But Dumbledore said that the things which happened to Harry was just a little things, why it has already become the pracitice to hold a full criminal trial to deal with a simple matter of underage magic. And that made Cornelius feel very uncomfortable. Finally, Harry survived I think.

update:Gossip Girl
This is a new book. It was still talking about high school's life. I read from page1-page30.The main characters in this book are Serena--"S",Blair--"B",Nate,Chuck and Dan. The story was based on the young teenagers growing up on New York's Upper East Side who attend elite academic institutions while dealing with sex, drugs, and other teenage issues. I watched this TV show every week. It just showed us the lifestyle they had and the effect they got.
There was a girl which called Gossip Girl ran a blog about her fellow the upper east siders. She knew every single secret among them,but no one knew about her. At Blair's Party, everyone got the message from Gossip girl she said that Serena was appeared at central station. Serena is Blair's best friend who left without saying last quarter. But now she was appeared, everyone was talking about her, they try to guess what will happened next. When Blair was enjoy with her boyfriend Nate, she heard someone was calling her that Serena was coming. Blair was very angry with Serena because of her left. She represented very unfriendly that everyone can see it. So Serena felt it and left right away. Everyone was blabbing about it, why she left and why she was back. Serena and Blair was study at the same school. S try to act as B's best friend as usual, but B didn't think so. She already had some new friend instead of S. S wanted to have a conversation with B, she wanted their friendship back. There had too many secret between them, it's not like that easy to made it back. At the same time, Nate went to see S, he loved her. But S told him, he was her best friend's boyfriend, she didn't want anything happened to hurt her best friend. But we know things can't be that easy,no secret for gossip girl. B will know it sooner or later.
First I watched that Tv show, I like it. So I bought this book. There had something different between the book and show no all of them. I really want to know who is that mysterious girl. Why she can know everything about those people. How she can send the message to everyone.
Is she a student who study with them or what else. I am very intersented about her. Also I am interested in what's kind of life the upper east side people had. Was it good or bad. What's going to happened to S and B? Will they back together or they become enemy?You know you love me ,X.O.X.O Gossip girl.

Understanding September 11th
Understanding September 11th by Mitch Frank 60-130
-Some people in the Middle East resent America because of oil. They think America is an outside invader. The first exploded their resentment in Iran. The shah accepted American could business in Iran and tried to bring western ideas. However, he refused to bring democracy to his government because he didn’t want to lose power. Therefore, Iranian students blamed American for keeping the shah in power for a long time. They took fifty-took Americans hostage. They kept hostages for more than a year. At that time, they almost every day burnt American flags. Because of Taliban, America attacked Afghanistan after on 9/11. When Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, America helped Afghanistan because America doesn’t want oil country Afghanistan become another Russian province. The Taliban were strict Islamist Afghans. The Taliban was started a small village in southern Afghanistan. They disregard woman. All women were forbidden to work except work in hospital. They were strict to everything such as TV was forbidden, music was forbidden and so on. Osma Bin Laden an important ally to the Taliban. After America attacked, many of the Taliban were captured. But, still many Taliban fled into the mountains and hills. Islamists forbid eating port of drink alcohol, and women with men in public places. Osma Bin Laden is the most infamous terrorist of all time. After September 11th, many American’s patriotism becomes strong.
Al Qaeda means “the base” in Arabic. Taliban means “students of Islam”, the militantly Islamist group that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
-I read all pages. From this book, I realized many things. This book includes detail information about terrorist, Islam and so on. I know Afghanistan involved september attack newly. I don't understand why Islam women are treated that way by man. I'm not sure current situation, but according to this book Islam women can't eat with man, stay with man and so on. It's so unfair. I'm curious current situation. Before I read this book, I didn't know about Taliban and Al Qaeda very well. This book gave me a lot of information about Taliban and Al Qaeda. It's really useful book.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
Pg169-201
In this part HP,Ron and Hermione had a very bad time to hide themselve in the Black's house.They kept one of the Death Eater inside and tried to get the information from him. Whenever that guy wakes up, HP strongly put his wand in front of that guy and force him to give HP the information about Voldermort, but he was so scared so he told them not to kill him and told some information that made HP,Ron and Hermione cant believe at him. HP argued with Ron and Hermione for a few day about the plan that they want to raid inside of the minister of Magic. And one of that day,they got the very shock news that the new principal of the Hogwart school now will be Snape who used to be the Dart-Art teacher when Mr. Dumbledore alive. HP,Ron and Hermione got this news and they really care about the students and the teachers who are teaching and studying in Hogwart school right now.Voldermort now controls everything from Minister of Magic to the school.HP,Ron and Hermione made up the plan that they will raid into the minister of magic to find out the information about everything happen.Ron said that the "Invisible Cloak" now is too small for 3 of them so they need to make and bring some potion with them to make them change to the people who work in the minister.As the plan going,HP had to change to a big guy and acts like that guy which made him had nervous a few time.
In my opion, HP has to do to much stuff and he has to found out what is true about Mr.Dumbledore childhood.He heard too much thing about Dumbledore,one side said that Dumbledore is a very talent kid and very succeed in his life before he died,another side said that he has a very poor and convict so that he inherit the convict mind from his sister.HP got so confused about what he need to know,he want to find out what is the real happen to him and to Dumbledore.He still confused about why Dumbledore gave him the quidditch ball after all.Ron and Hermione cant ignore HP's plan even they get scared of that plan because they are very close and best friends that HP only has.I think the story get more and more exciting and challenging when everybody get closer and closer to help HP,and Voldermort tries to control everything as he can.I really like HP because of its challenge.

Cross- James Patterson P.84-94
In the least rescue action, Cross’s partner- Ned was shot and his situation didn’t look good. There were also ten team members who where hurt or dead in this heroin factory. When Cross arrived home, he was terribly tired. Because of his attending this rescue action that was such a dangerous work, his foster mother-Nana seemed to mad at him and refused to look after his children. Finally she left.
In the other part of the story, it was about a poor little boy’s childhood who was the hit man- Michael Sullivan. He was abused by his father who was a pedphilia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s surprised me! Sullivan was not born to hit man. I thought many bad guys come from their background. It’s why family education is so important.

A Taste for Life
Written by Bobby Flay
Bobby’s mom Dorothy Flay is a very positive person. She always show her support to not only her own family, but also those people who live around her. Especially, the author who was a student with very bad attitudes, her mom shows even more love to change him. A good story which the author shows us in this article is a great example. The author was escape from class as usual. His mom received phone call from school again, she finally got mad with him. She went down the place where the author was usually hanged out. She just went there grab him but did nothing. The author became a chef mostly because of his mom. The first cooking experience he ever could remember was at his mom’s kitchen. The mom’s helped a lot for his son, Bobby Flay, to achieve his life goal.
Also Known as “Mom”
Written by Jamie-Lynn Siegler
Everyone should have several special names to describe their moms. Like what author says “Advice, cheering up, a good shopping day, a nice lunch” could all be her mom’s names. The author’s mom shows her supports on her daughter are easy to see. When Jamie, at the year of her seventh year, said she wanted to be an actress. Her mom didn’t take it as a child’s joke. She took it very seriously. After she achieved the goal and finally became an actress, her mom was proud and attended every show the author played. Also, her mom is a very positive person that she never complained about anything. Even though she got busy schedule very often, she still enjoy it and the best is she will let other people enjoy it, too.
My Opinion
After I went trough the two paragraphs above, I found one thing in common between those moms is they are all very positive people. The first mom has divorced, raised the boy by herself, at New York City. But she never gave up anything. The second mom is a busy person. However, she never complained about busy life, and finished everything perfect. Beside, those opinions, the most important thing I learned from these two articles is a sentence “throughout their lives, through those ups and downs, ins and outs.” I think this sentence is very nice, it carries a feel in it.

Opinion
I think this book it's much easlier to read. Thus, the words it's easier and the content of this book it's much more interesting. As I like reading book about love. Jane was sick on the way home, Bingley tried his best to find a helpful doctor. I think this is one of the way to show love. But something the impress me is what Elizabeth did to her sister Jane. Even though, Jane was taking good care by Bingley, she went back just to make sure everything goes fine. I really do want a sister like Elizabeth who can give me a good care of love.

The Old man and the Sea P65--127 by Bing
The old man will say ten our fathers and ten hail marys that he can catch the fish. Sometime even he doesn’t want kill the fish, he will kill the fish. Although it is unjust, he thought. But he will show the little boy what a man can do and what a man endures. Then he tired to catch the fish, he think if the fish are not tired, the fish must be very strange. As the sun set he remembered, to give himself more confidence, the time in the tavern at Casablanca. He won the game that night. People called him winner for a long time. Then an airplane passed overhead on its course to Miame and he watched its shadow scaring up the schools of flying fish. He was imagine what the feeling in the airplane, it mush be very strange. The old man unhooked the fish, re-baited the line with another sardine and tossed it over. I said the fish still no change, the boat is slower now. After he got fish he asked the fish “how do you feel?” he answered “I feel good.” In the truth he is not feeling good because the pain from the cord across his back had almost passed pain and gone into a dullness that he mistrusted. He tried rest a lot, the sky darked very early everyday. He was looking for how the fish change. The moon didn’t rise now until late and he had no way of judging the time. He tried to sleep; his right arm was asleep because his head had rested on it instead of a pillow. He did not dream of the lions but he dreamed that he was in the village on his bed and there was a other and he was very cold. After he weak up he could not see the fish’s jumps but only heard the breaking of the ocean and the heavy splash as he fell. He told himself again, if the little boy was here he would wet the coils of the line. Yes.. If the boy was here. Then he fishing again, after he jumped that his right hand had been in the water long enough he took it out and looked at it . And he thought pain doesn’t not matter to a man. Why was him not born with two good hands. He was eating all of it down to the tail. It has more nourishment than most fish. He fishing again, he felt tired, he can see some black spots in his eyes. Twicw, though, he had felt faint and dizzy and that had worried him. He plan say a hundred our fathers and a hundred hail marys. But he cant say them now. After three times he got a fish, It was a long big fish. The old man told himself said be calm and strong. He hope the fish kill him, he thought he never seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than that fish. He asked come on and kill him, he does care who kills who. After that, he told himself “clear up, clear up.” Twice more it was the same on the turns. He fishing again, and he got some fish, everytime after he got fish I will do a lot work. Then he saw a big fish, he planed to catch him, he though he needs a pencil for that how big is the fish. His head is not that clear. That fish is so big it was like a boat. He did not need a compass to tell him where southwest was. He only needed the feel of the trade wind and drawing of the sail. The old man soaked his hands in the salt water and tired to keep his head clear. Then he saw a shark, it was he first time saw shark. The shark was not an accident. He had come up from deep down in the water. When the shark coming to the old man, the old man’s head was clear and good. The old man hit the fish the old man saw shark’s mouth open and his strange eyes. When the shark getting close, the old man hit it with his blood mushed hands driving a good harpoon with all his strength. Shark wad killed by the old man. The old man told himself “But man is not made for defeat, A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” He was sorry that he killed the fish tough. He tried to keep himself happy. The old man thought he think too much, but he enjoyed killing the dentuso. Then the old man hoped the Galanos come on. One turned and under his skiff and the old man could feel the shake as he jerked and pulled on the fish. After the old man tried to kill him, the fish was run away. The old man wiped the blade of his knife and laid the oar. He wish he had a stone for the knife. He tried to keep himself thinking about nothing. He told himself he is tired. Then two sharks was coming to the old man. The old man let him hit the fish and then drove the knife on the oar down into his brain. The old man watched for him to come again but neither shark showed. He could not expect to kill them, he thought. The he cant be too far out now, he thought. He hopes no one has been worried. There is only the boy to worry, of course. He has all those prayers he promised if he caught the fish, he thought. But he is too tired now. Around ten clock he saw the city, he think the wind is his friend, and the great sea with his friend and hi enemies. And bed he thought. Finally he put the mast down and stood up. Then he is sleeping. The little found him and asked some coffee for the old man. The old man was very happy because he can tall to somebody now, not just talk to himself. The little boy wants fish with the old man in the future. The little boy is going to ask some drugstore for the old man’s hand. A lady ask a waiter “ what is that?’ “ Tiburon” the waiter said “ Eshark.” The lady said she didn’t know sharks had such handsome, beautifully formed tails. The old man was sleeping again. The little boy was sitting by him watching him. The old man was dreaming about the lions.
Opinion:
After I read this book, I understand a lot thing in our life. The old man who fishing in the sea for 84 days. He never worried about something or to be scared something. Everyone think he was a loser, but he proved he is a winner. We must keep our head clear every time in our life. No one alive for be defeated. We should believe we can do something, even we fail couple times, we still should have confidence, like the old man, he fishing all the time, he was never give up. In the future, I will never worry about some difficulty things. I will never give up, kind like study, sometimes I will have some problem, I will never give up and study hard. Because I believe myself. I can do everything I want to do. The faith is one of the cause for success. If you have faith, You will be winner, and impossible is nothing. The book “the old man and the old sea” is a very good book, the book tells me a lot sense. And a lot sentences in this book Is very great. I wrote some on my notebook already. Nice book.

The Lennon Companion 126 - 170
The story about the Beatles, especially John Lennon, goes to 1965~. He met Yoko Ono who broke up the Beatles. She was attractive for Lennon so that the author said about her carefully. She was an artist that published a book. The latest Lennon's lyrics were effected by Yoko Ono. Next the author explained Lennon's schooldays.For Lennon and McCartney, school was more important that home or Liverpool. His pictures in his childhood were creative. His creativity of writing songs are great, especially his lyrics, but when it was the first time to release their album , called please please me, Lennon didn't try to write lyrics cafelly like he didn't care about it. However, eventually, Lennon and MacCartney were trying to write great lyrics, because they were influenced by Bob Dylan who is their good friend.
The next topic of them goes to last three original albums. The Beatles, called white album, released. The author said thirty songs in white album are various. No one achieved to make such a great album in this year. Then Abbey Road and Let It Be released. He explained about these songs. He didn't explain their last LP, Let It Be, much more than Abbey Road. He said the last LP is not so variety and does not attempt large musical construction as Abbey Road.
Opinion
At that time, the Beatles were not good relationship each other. Therefore, they recorded on by theirthelves. Sadly, this book said Yoko Ono broke the Beatles up. I don't think so, because John Lennon may be not interested in the Beatles even if he didn't meet her anyway.
In my opinion, this book is little bit hard to read for me... Especially, vocaburaly is hard. I'll try to read this book completly, though about 60 pages left.

Harris an Me 75-100
Gary and Harris were walking on the farm. Gary followed him closely and bumped into him when Harris stopped. Harris said he couldn’t see him. Gary asked who he was. Suddenly, Harris shouted “LOOK OUT…” His eyes grew wide. Gary saw two huge wings came to his face and then Harris grabbed his hair and threw him down on his face out of the way. Harris rolled around. He tried to beat a thing what looks like a giant ball of dust and feather wings. The giant ball moved in the granary. Harris said “Damn you, Ernie…” At last, Gary knew that was a crazy rooster called Ernie. Harris told him Ernie could let people bleed in every fight, it usually came out when we can not see him. Gary thought the life came more interesting.
This is a really interesting short story in this book. Gary just came to the farm. He doesn’t know anything in there. At first, he kicked by a caw. And then, he was scared by a rooster. But he thinks there is more fun. I really like read the part which talks about the way Harris talks to him even some bad words.

Charlotte's Web written by E. B. White
chapter9-17 page55-137
Wilbur wondered at how Charlotte's web was made, and he tried to make web by his self being taught by Charlotte. Of course, he couldn't, and he gave up. Wilbur's anxiety of his death was getting bigger, and he asked to Charlotte who promised to save him how can she save him. She didn't tell everything, but she told that she was working about it seriously and persuaded him not to worry about it.A boy, Avery, tried to capture Charlotte when he saw her. As he trying, he broke the egg which had been given to Templeton by the goose. Because of the smell of the broken egg, he couldn't keep trying, then he ran away from the pig pen. Thus, the rotten egg saved Charlotte, but most of the inhabitant in the farm complained about the terrible smell which spread to all over the barn. One day, it was foggy, Charlotte's web was decorated with dozens of beads of water, and there was a massage in the center of the web neartly woven in block letters. It said "some pig". Lurvy and Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerman was surprised at it. Mr. Zuckerman told the minister about it. Soon after, the news spead all over the country, and a lot of visitors came to the Zuckerman's pigpen to see the unusual pig. Fern prefer the previous barn which she could be all alone with her friends to the present barn which there are too many people.When the visitors were getting bored of the letters, Charlotte changed the letters "some pig" into "terrific", and she asked Templeton to bring a magazine clipping from the dump to find new words.Fern's mother hoped Fern would go out and play with other children, instead of heading for the barn to sit and watch animals. She told about Fern's behavior to a doctor, but the doctor said that don't worry, and let her do as she wants.Wilbur, Charlotte, and templeton went to Fair. At the time, the truck which they ride on got trouble that the truck with no one started to roll downhill. The truck was stopprd by Mr. Arable, who is Fern's father.
I think Charlotte is a very smart and kind spider. She not only saved Wilbur's life but also remove his loneliness.But she always take care of Wilbur, so I worry about Wilbur after she would leave.

What a pity that this blog is going to be my last one. I liked reading this novel even though it was hard to read in my poor ability of reading. I heard posting novel was the first attempt for level 4
and it was actually helpful to me. I strongly support to do Blog whether in level 4 but also other levels and I believe that doing Blog makes us to improve our reading skill. Finally, I can return this novel that I have borrowed from library for almost a month and half.

While they were testing, George's grandma came and said give me that and she drank it. Suddenly she become smaller and smaller and smaller and disappered. His father was happy because he didnt like her. However, George didnt say anything. He just stood there.
This book is pretty funny. I have the same situation. I have a mean old grandma, too. My grandparents live with my parents, so I have to listen all the annoying words from my parents and also my grandma. Sometimes i wish she was gone, but sometimes she makes me laugh. I don;t actually want her away because she makes me happy sometimes. If she is gone I will feel sad like George did. I think it is kind of weird. Even though your grandparents treats you bad and annoys you, they still love you. If you hated your grandparents and wanted them to disappered so badly and suddenly disappers you will feel funny like George.

HIGH HEAT by Carl Deuker pages 193-235
This was the second Christmas in this new house, Shane's mother gave them lots of present. They were very happy in this Christmas. After that, Shane called Reese and asked him to play baseball together. When they finished, Shane told Reese that he was hit Reese on purpose last time. Reese still played with Shane after Shane told him the truth. One day after New Years's, Shane knew that a Korean boy will come and join their team. On the other hand, Shane played with Reese, but Reese thought that Shane cheat him, throw the easy balls to him.
At first, Shane's teammates laughed at the Korean boy who called Kim Seung.After they saw him to play, they didn't laugh as he played quite well. They had a game was against Eastgate and Eastgate thought Shane's team was worthless, but Shane's team won the game. On Thursday, they against Washington High School. After they won the game, Grandison talked to a man who is coach at University of Portland. The coach called Dave Wood and he wanted to know more about Shane. One day, Grandison asked Shane to his office and let Shane alked to coach Dravus. Coach Dravus said if Shane can keep his number high, maybe he can get the baseball scholarship. At that night, Shane explained to his mon that he might not get the scholarship. After that, he went to library with Marian. He found out that Reese was going to against O'Dea. Shane went and watched this game, but Reese felt very nervous so he didn't play well.
On Saturday, coach Dravus came to Shane's house and explained about the scholarship to Shane's mon.
opinion:
I found that this story is really interesting, it is hard to guess what's going on. Just like Shane told Reese that truth. I thought it was an exactly accident.I felt surprise at this fact. Also, I am glad that Shane played well and he might get the baseball scholarship. It is really good for Shane and his mother. Shane should do his best to keep the grade high and get the baseball scholarship. On the other hand, I like Reese because he still can be friend with Shane after he knew the truth. I felt sorry about Reese to play worse than before. I think he is such a good guy that he can forgave Shane. It will be so sad if he can't play as well as he did before. I hope Shane can help Reese because he also help himself to get out of the nightmare.
I can't wait to read the ending, and I hope it is a happy ending.

Understanding September 11th by Mitch Frank 17-59
-On september 11th nineteen men killd more than thousand people. They were all terrorists from Middle Eastern nations and belonged to al Qaeda,led by a man named Osama bin Laden. Many terrorists lived in South Florida and some of them began taking lessons at local tlight school. Even terrorists were living in the U.S, U.S goverment didn't know that because they lived like american and their plan didn't need a lot of money and weapons. Terrorists don't believe they are doing anything wrong. Terrorism is ciolent acts seem random and senseless. Al Qaeda members believe God is on their side when they murder. Even though Osama bin Laden thanked Allah for the success of the attacks, most Muslims were horrified by what happened on September 11th. Islam is on of the world's lasgest religions. It was begun by the prophet Muhammad. Qur'an is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe the God recited its words to Muhammad. It still occur like a war in the middle east because of religion.
-This book show nineteen people's face. Actually, they aren't look like horrible people. I can't understand why they are acting like that and what is benefit. Also, very curious how they believe their God so deeply. I was very surprised about their perfect plan. This book is interesting but, too much information. It is include not only about attack but also religion, country.

Charlotte's Web written by E. B. White
Chapter6-8
On a day in early summer, the goose eggs hatched. Actually, there were 8 eggs, but one of them is dud. Templeton was given the one. But the gander and goose got angry at Templeton's rudeness, and warned him against poking his ugly nose around the goslings. This is because the rat, Templeton, had no morals. Wilbur was getting used to see Charlotte's campaign against insects because she ate a lot of flies Which everybody in the farm heted and she gave the insects an anaesthetic before she ate, so it seemed sensible and useful. One day, Wilbur heard from a old sheep that he would be killed by the farmers after he get enough weight to be eaten. At the time Charlotte promissed to save him. Fern listened to these conversation, and told her parents. Then her mother started to worry about her because her mother think it is strange for her to be able to hear animals' conversation.
If my child said he can hear animal's voice, I would take him to hospital, so I can understand her mother' mind.Anyway I hope Wilbur won't be killed.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen page : 1 - 36
Brian Robeson, thirteen years old boy, fly with small plane. He is the only one passenger on that plane with a pilot named Jim. He fly from Hampton, New York headed for the Canadian oil field to fisit his father. His parents are already divorce. When he fly, the pilot teach him how to fly the plane. He learn it so easily. He looks enjoy the lesson from pilot, but in his mind there is only 1 word, Divorce. Suddenly, the pilot got heart attack and died. The plane was tottaly lose control. He is very confiused and don't know what to do. He take over the plane and fly it like the pilot told him before. He fly it easily, but he don't know where the plane heading to. He ask for the help through the radio. But no one answered. In the roaring plane without pilot he was alone. All so hopeless...
This book is quite interesting for me. But there is too many unimportant words, for example : "The pilot sat large, his hands lightly on the wheel, feet on the rudder pedals. He seemed more a machine than a man, an extension of the plane". The writer want to give us the imagination about the story, but it's make me bored.

Black Beauty , The Autobiography of a Horse , by Anna Sewell (page 1 to 229).
I`ve read a book about the autobiography of a horse . The title is " Black Beauty " was written by Anna Sewell . It was very popular to children . The book talked about the autobiography of a horse . Especially , the horse keeps strength and good temper throughout his suffering . His first owner was Farmer Grey , he was a good , kind man . Farmer Grey called the horse Darkie . He spoke to as kindly to Darkie as he did to his little children . Darkie was treated very well and given good food , good lodging and kind words .
One day , a new master came to take him away . Farmer Grey said him goodbye . Darkie was very sad . Fortunately , the coachman was John Manly , he gave him good grooming every morning . His new owners are Squire and Mrs Gordon called him Black Beauty . They were very kind to him and never used the whip on him . Darkie was happy in new place . He also knew two new friends Merrylegs and Ginger . Merrylegs and Ginger were treated badly before they were sold to this place .
After that , Darkie was sent to another place . He had to work hard for his new owner Jakes . Darkie was loaded more than usual , and laid whip on badly .But he had to take a leap on steep hill .When the lady rode on him , she said in a sweet , earnest voice to encourage Darkie to gallop. After a while , he was sold to Nicholas Skinner , a new owner .He had a harsh voice
and was always hard on the horses . Darkie had no rest on sunday .Sometimes , Darkie was so
fevered and worn that he could hardly touch his food . The driver was so hard and had a cruel
whip with something so sharp at the end that it sometimes drew blood , he whipped Darkie
under the belly , but Darkie still did his best and never hung back . He felt very miserable . At last, he was sent to a very stately-looking person , Miss Ellen , she liked him a lot . And that is
his last home , Darkie was placed in a comfortable , fed , and left to himself .
In my opinion , i like this book because i can learn more about the animal feelings . They are very miserable and under hard control of humans . People shoudn`t be cruel to the animals since they have a sense of pain and suffering like humans do .

Harry Potter 6 Gabriella
Everything went very well. It seemed a normal and quite night. Harry went back to room and wanted a good sleep. But he really couldn't fall a sleep. Ron and Fred had a talk with him and told Harry many things that Harry didn't know. Something really surprised me, just like the weapon of Sirius
Harry felt so sad and sorrow because of the leaving of Sirius. He had no choice. When Sirius picked up his stuff, he told Harry many things about his family. He had a favourite cousin and a crazy sister. He didn't think she was one of his family.
Few days later, Harry was told that he had to leave without Sirius, because Dumbledore said that.

Opinion
I have changed my book. This is a new one. After reading the first chapter of this book, I think this book it is kind of boring. I think I am changing it. I think that the suicide happened is really serious, because there was not big deal. Love was not all parts of our life, so we shouldn't be this way. For example, killing or hurt our self. We should talk to others to find out a better way to solve problems. Margaret do this at the end, she found Profession Nex Welch to helped her. Life's still on even there's no Love.

Unconditional Love
Written by Christine Todd Whitman
For this essay the author show a brand new form for writing an article. The way she wrote this paper is between poem and summary. The main purpose of this essay is all around one word “Thank you”. I can feel she felt sorrow while she was writing this. She first thanked her mom for creating a wonderful relationship between. She always gave her understanding and treated her as an adult. Second, she thanked for her mom’s encouraging that made her travel around the world, keep challenging new stuff, and also give back to community. Then, she was very appreciating for what her mom did to her marriage. But she, finally, lost her mom like anybody else. She is now put her mom’s love inside her soul, and will live with it forever.
Never Another Like My Mother
Written by Cindy Adams
The author lost her mom just a week ago when she wrote this essay. The fact for her at that time was unacceptable. According to this essay the author’s mom was a writer for the local news paper. Once her mom was writing a journal about how she feels to teach children, her mom said to spoil children is not wrong. The wrong thing is not to support their children. The mom in this essay always showed her support for her children. The mother’s day was coming soon, but the author was won’t be able to celebrate for her any.
My opinion
I kind of find the order of this book. I talked about how those authors’ mom supported them. And then, I see how life could be hard for single moms who raise their children by themselves. Now I see how is the authors thinking after they lost their moms. For the two paragraphs above the author were all lost their moms. However, the different between those two is first one is for memorizing mom and the second one is to show us how sad the author was since she just lost her mom. But, like what I mentioned before, the love with mom will never disappeared.

Red Dragon- Thomas Harris- page 1- 33
Will Graham, a FBI agent who had experiences in discovering many psychological murders now would face with a new murder occurence. After his last success in catching "Hannibal the Cannibal", a "psychopath" murder, he was tired and wanted to live happily with his family. At first, he refused to help his friend, Jack Crawford, in a murder of a family. Graham's wife, Molly, let him decide what to do. She wanted to enjoy happiness with her husband and her son but if discovering a murder was really what Graham had to do, she could accepted it.
At last, Graham agreed to help Crawford. At the scene of murder, he found out what murderer did to his victims slowly. Two little boys were shot, the husband was slashed on his neck, the wife was shot, too but she had other wounds before she was dead, her mouth and eyes were full of blood. The murderer wore gloves, but Graham thought this guy took them off to touch the wife' skin. This guy also loved biting, too because there were teeth marks on victim's skin. The agents and detectives called this guy Tooth Fairy. Graham could guess some details but this murder was still hard to find out everything. However, he wanted to find out as soon as he could before the next "lunar month" or "full moon" because this kind of murder usually happened at the full moon night.
I heard about The Silent Of The Lambs and Red Dragon long time ago and I love them. I want to read The Silent Of The Lambs first but I didn't find it, so I chose this story first. To be truth, I'm interested in smart and psychopath murderers, their scenes of muder were hard to dicovered the details. I also like the character Will Graham, too, he was intelligent and had experiences in murder. How would Graham investigate this murder? Let's find out next time

Many people who live around Harriet gossiped about how Dr.Flint was harassing her. Mr.Sands who knew her grandmother kindly asked about Dr.Flint's harassment. He is white man, but she became his lover. however, Dr and Mrs. Flint got angry again. Mrs. Flint lied to harriet's grandmother that Harriet got pregnant between Dr Flint. Grandmother believed and got angry. Finally she believed, but Harriet prayed she whould die many times because of terrible situations. She became ill.
I found a lot of sad and similar vocabularies.
I don't like Dr and Mrs, Flint's DIRTINESS. It makes me so annoying. However, Harriet was still strong even though she is young. When I read that she prayed she whould die, I was sad. Young people should not think like that....

Dragonwings p76-p94
When Moon had been in the demon's country for over two years, one of his uncles sent him to make the rounds among some of their regular customers in the Tang people's town to collect overdue bills. By the way, while Moon had been collecting money for a month, he saw Black Dog who is a member of the company lounging in a doorway. Suddenly, Black Dog tore the money bag away from Moon and began to kick Moon with his heavy boots. Moon came back to his father's company with severe pains. The rest of the company crowded around Moon. He didn't know what to do or say. They got mad at Back Dog for what he's done to Moon. Moon's father decided to find Black Dog and went Dupont Street witch is street of the Tang people, into an alley. He met Tiger General who is the head of the brotherhood and finally he met to Black Dog. Moon's father was holding a sword and Black Dog, too. They fought each other and finally Moon's father's sword in Black Dog's back. The head of brotherhood said "You`d best get out of our town for a while. Therefore, both Moon and his father were told to leave of Tang's town.
I can say it is a pity to both of them, Moon and his father, to leave from Tang's town. I wanna tell who Black Dog is. He is a member of the company and a son of Moon's uncle.
He often despised the Tang people around him and took dope. I think he is addicted to opium even though he worked as hard as any of their members. Now Moon and his father have to leave to other area where no Tang's town. Before their leaving, they got lots of presents such as a little statue, charm on a necklace and a porcelain cup from company. I think it will be hard to live in an area of Americans because Americans have often persecuted people who are Tangs.
I felt pity for both of them.

tender is the night (by Minh) chapter 8-19 book 2 (page 141- 204)
On lasst week, we stopped at Dick's history with the ending of his love with Nicole. I hoped in next chapter it'll give me more interested. Now I continue to tell u about what in next chapter. In the beginning, I was tole that although Dick wants to take out her love of his heart, he still was in her love and can't control his mind in his plan while they visit on a vacation in small Swiss town with Nicole's sister. I think he lost the plan. Moreover, Baby-Nicole's sister- has decided a plan to make Dick and Nicole together. And they are engaged, despite of Baby's disapproval . Dick Tries to prove Nicole that he can give her a good life with highlight the happy time of their marriage, the birht of their children, and the travels troughout the world. At all, he tries to keep financial independence from his rich life. And the true show that his book is sold very well. But Nicole have some suspicion that Tommy Barban- the solder half American, half French- is in love with her. And she worries about Rosemary. Dick tells to Mrs.Speers that he is in love with her daughter-Rosemary before they leave. Dick is also concerned for his wife mental health after her two recent breakdowns. However, Nicole seems well again, and they spend holidays to the Alps with Baby and the family. Dr.Gregory invites Dick that they buy buy a clinic together in Switzerland for going out of business. Dick feels trapped but still agrees with Dr.Gregory'proposition. After one year, every things are not going well. There are about bad feeling of Nicole. Nicole discovers a bad thing about Dick when he tried to violate a daughter of a accussing. after that on their drive back on the clinic, and runs the car off the road, almost kill all, and laughing whole time. Dick comes back America for his reaching. on his return to Europe, he finds the man's company pleasant. Arriving in Rome, come to see Rosemary and have a date with her.
my opinion:
Almost these chapter told about Dick and his life with Nicole and about his faults . Moreover, I sympathize about Nicole's feeling in these chapter. From beginning to now, I always think Nicole is a bad girl, but now I think she just like a normal woman when she is tricked by Dick. And I think Dick is not a good person at all. He tried to violent a woman, trick a woman. I can't understand what he is doing, but the story will tell us what happening in next chapters. Finally, I think these chapter has given me many things interesting but I can't feel them anymore, but I still try.

Tonight was the ritual for the new student who going to live in Billings this quarter. But something was different from Reed's ritual. They were ask to wear all white. During the ritual they called the girls named and asked if others want she to join their circle. When Astrid, Melissa and Kiki others said yes, what happened next. When it's Sabine's turn something happened, only a few people said yes, so it is cleared that she can't stay here. The same to the other 2 girls. That what Cheyenne did to these poor girls. Reed try to argued with Cheyenne. Suddenly the Headmaster came in. He said the ritual made him disappointed.
He asked Reed to tell him the truth, tell him who was the ringleader. He said he already know something but he want to hear the truth from Reed. Reed want to ,she really want to told everything to the headmaster all these things were made by Cheyenne, she hate her, want to expel her out of here. But she can't , she said she can't give up Cheyenne. So at last she told the headmaster she didn't know anything about what the headmaster asked. When Reed out the office they called Cheyenne in there. Reed can't believe what herself did. She wanted Cheyenne to got rid of her life but she did nothing to her. But as you know God is fair, although Reed didn't tell the headmaster, Cheyenne had expelled. She need to packed her things and leave tomorrow.
Just like this saying:Bad deeds, as well as good, may rebound upon the doer. If you didn't something bad it will back to yourself. So please be a nice person to everyone. Don't be that bad. I think what Reed did was right, she was nice she was kind. She don't want Cheyenne out no matter what Cheyenne had done to Reed. Reed still want to save Cheyenne. But the truth will never let Cheyenne do whatever she wants. She was expel from Billings where she thought she will be forever.But she was wrong totally wrong.
Sabine felt boring so Reed suggested her to join the sccoer team. Sabine don't like it but she told Reed she will try. People still interested in who will live in Billings. Sabine said the reason why she want to live in here because she want to be Reed's roommate. Reed told Sabine everything will become better after tonight. Tonight was the ritual for the new student who going to live in Billings this quarter. But something was different from Reed's ritual. They were ask to wear all white. During the ritual they called the girls named and asked if others want she to join their circle. When Astrid, Melissa and Kiki others said yes, what happened next. When it's Sabine's turn something happened, only a few people said yes, so it is cleared that she can't stay here. The same to the other 2 girls. That what Cheyenne did to these poor girls. Reed try to argued with Cheyenne. Suddenly the Headmaster came in. He said the ritual made him disappointed.

Because of that they eat bird pie everyday. One day some boys climb the dead tree and was playing around and than they got stuck. Suddenly Mr. Twit came out to collet the birds, but he saw boys. He got mad, so he wanted to have some boy pie! The boys were stuck on there pants, so they just took their pants off and ran away. Mr and Mrs Twit also have a big cage next to their house. The cage has four monkey. Mr. Twit was training them to make them the world greatest upside-down circus monkey. The monkey were always treated badly and get hit by Mrs. Twit. One day a big bird landed on the monkey's cage. They talked each other and said can u help me escape. The big bird decide to help them to escape. First the monkeys told that never rest at the dead tree because it has glue on it. The big bird told every bird never rest on the dead tree. The next day Mr. Twit went out to the dead tree to get the birds to make pie out of them. He saw that all the birds were resting on the monkey's cage. He got mad. Next day he glued the monkey's cage. However, the birds now rested on Mr. Twit roof. He got really mad, so he and his wife went to town and buy guns. Now the monkey told to the big bird bring the key to this cage. He bring the key and they were out of the cage. The monkey had a plan to revenge the Twits and the birds wanted to help, too. They glued Mr and Mrs Twit's furniture on the ceiling. While the Twits came back two birds putted glue on their head and then the monkeys and the birds ran away. The Twits were mad and just went to their house. They were freak out and thought that they were upside down. They said they will die, if they don't do nothing. They standed on their heads, so they think that they will be back to normal. However, they had glue on his head. They were stuck and couldn't move and begin to shrink. They shrink and shrink and vanished. That was the end of the Twits.
This story is like if you be mean you'll get punish something like that. The monkeys now are free and not pets anymore and I am happy about that! However, i feel sorry for the Twits because they got shrunk but i wonder why they got shrunk? If you stand upside-down for a long time you get shrunk?

An eleven-year-old student who climbed up to the platform. the student was afraid of the headmistress. His plump flabby face had tiurned grey with fearful because he didn't know what's going to do with him in front of all students. At this time, the headmistress was asking that studnet why you stole her a slice of private choclate cake from her tea-tray because she doubted the student was a thief. it was her morning snack. In fact, the student didn't do anything, he was just so fat. So, the headmistress wanted to punish that student and ordered to eat a very big choclate cake. He started at the cake. He felt so uncomfortable While she was trying to finish whole cake. the headmistress's face was so cautious. She thought he couldn't finish all of the cake. however, all student shouted, " COME ON, YOU CAN MAKE IT.''
because those student do not like their headmistress. the headmistresd always punlish and shout. Finally, the student finished this big cake. the headmistress was really mad becuase she lost a chance to punish the boy.
in my opinion, the headmistress was so boring. she just wanted to make trouble with that boy.
Actually, the cake was not stolen by the student, she couldn't do this for the studnet.
those studnets will be more fear about her.

Wherein I became a farmer and meet Vivian12-45
In the night, Gary was dreaming some strange things. Suddenly, something thumping, jerking, shaking... I was Harris. He waked him up and said “Get your butt out of there or Louie will get all the pancakes.” Gary never heard of who is Louie. He is an old bugger who lives here and works. Gary felt not only sleepy but also hungry. He got dress and walked to the table. He found out everybody was getting ready to eat. Louie wore a matted beard stuck with bits of dirt what looked like dried manure. All the people were watching the pancakes cooking. Harris ignored Gary, told him kept sitting with the fork in his hand. But before the plate hit the table, Louie learned forward like a snake striking and hit the stack of pancakes with fork. The whole stack went to Louie’s plate. The same thing happened seven or eight times. The entire stack was gone in ten seconds flat, and he was sitting again with his fork in his hand. At last, Gary just got a little bit pancakes. Harris took me to the farm. One they way, Harris gave Gary a cigarette which he stole from Louie. Gray had never rolled a cigarette before. Gary took a deep drag and inhaled. The effects were immediate. He gagged, chocked, and puked all what he ate. Harris shouted “You don’t know nothing, do you?” Harris retrieved the cigarette, brushed the burning off. He kept going. Gary tried to avoid every mud and manure. So he move very slow and then got lost. He was hit directly in the groin with such force that it lifted him of the ground, doubling him. He didn’t who it is. Acutely, it is a cow which called Vivian. He just felt the world ended in an explosion of white light.
It is so funny book. Gary just moved to the farm, and he doesn’t realize farmers’ life style. These farmers usually get up so early and eat so fast just like dogs. Gary couldn’t eat fast as them and he wants to sleep in the morning. Harris usually laughs at him. I think there will be some other funny things happen in this book. I will keep reading for fun.

The Witches by Roald Dahl. Pages 1 - 208 (The End)
My parents died on accident when we were going to Norway to visit my grandma. I and my grandma moved to England after that. One day, my grandma thought me how to recognize a witch. There are six typical of real witches: they wear gloves, they are bald so they wear a wig, they have big nose-holes, they have the changing color eyes, their feet have no toes, and their spit is blue. I had met witches two times before I was eight year old. The first time I met a witch was while I was making a tree house, a woman came and gave a present to me. That woman wore gloves. Luckily, my grandma called me and the woman was gone. My grandma got sick, so we just went to seaside at Bournemouth for summer. At hotel, I went to an empty room and hid behind big screen to teach my mice. Suddenly, so many women came into the room. There were about 200 witches had annual meeting over there. The Grand High Witch made formula which could make a child become a mouse. She already tried this formula to Bruno Jenkins. Bruno changed into a mouse because he ate chocolate from a witch. When the meeting was over, one of the witches smelled me. They found me and made me became a mouse. It was my second time met witches. Accidentally, the Grand High Witch’s room was underneath my room. I went there to take one bottle formula and came back to my grandma’s room. At dinner time, I went to the kitchen to put that formula at the witches’ food. While they were eating, all of them became into mice because of the formula. Bruno’s parents could accept him at last. We went back to Norway and made plan to destroy all the witches around the world.
Oooo.. I’m tired reading The Prince and The Pauper, so I changed my book but I’ll read it again next week. The witches is an interesting story. I have finished reading this book in a week. Is that true there are witches in the world?? Also, they don’t like children because they are smelly like dog’s droppings, so they can’t stand for that?? They can make their own money and known as rich people in the world? In this story, Roald Dahl made him self into the main person and he uses a word ‘I’ to tell the story. When her grandma told him about the real witches for the first time, he couldn’t believe it until he met a witch. The second time he saw witches, he was really unlucky but he never repent to be a mouse. He was so lucky to have a nice grandma like her. His grandma could accept him whatever he was be. If I am in his position, can I accept my self become a mouse?? I don’t think I can be like him. It was really hard to admit your self become a mouse. He is really a brave boy or mouse I think. Actually, I don't believe there are real witches in this world. This is a kid's story to make children afraid to play alone outside. (*_*)

HIGH HEAT by Carl Deuker pages162-192
Shane's mon asked him to find a job by himself duning this summer. Otherwise, he is going to work at Pasta Bella. Few day later, Coach Grandison called Shane and gave him a job to be a referee in basketball games. The next day morning,Shane went to the weight room and did till to noon. He went to the gym and started his new job with a partner called Miguel Alvarez. Shane thought they had done quite bad, but the coach Falk said make mistakes is not a big deal, the most important thing is they worked as a team.
Shane's life was set, every day he does the same things. This day, Shane remembered that Miguel has asked him to come and play baseball, so he went to the Northwest Athletic Complex. Shane played quite well on that day. When they finished, Miguel told Shane that Reese was here yesterday. Shane didn't believe it. The next day, Shane realy met Reese in the field. They started to chat with each other and be friend. They played baseball everyday in the summer. School day started, Shane met Grandison in bus stop, Grandison gave Shane one more job, soccer referee, Shane accepted.
Shane went to see Mr.Ferris and asked if he can get into the University of Washington, but he didn't get good grades. He couldn't get in UW so he changed his mind to try Western Washington. Also, he tried to study hard and he got A's this time.
A couple of week later, Kraybill came again and asked Shane a few questions. He wanted to make sure that Shane is a good boy now. Kraybill said he will not come anymore. After that, they went to Romio's to eat pizza, but Shane didn't eat any. At that night, Shane couldn't fall asleep because he couldn't stop to think about Reese.
opinion:
I am glad that Shane can found a job. I think if Shane didn't have anything to do in the summer, he might hang out with some bad friends again. I don't want to see this. Now, he can be friend with Reese and play baseball with him. I think it is good for him. On the other hand, Shane and his mon want him to get in the University of Washington, but he can't. Maybe they felt disappointed, but I think if you can get a good grade, it is not a big deal which school you are studying in.
After I read these few pages, I learn one thing is if you work hard, you can gain what you want. I feel so happy that Shane got A's. Besides, it's great that Kraybill believed Shane is a good boy now. I hope Shane will not get in any trouble.
