Greek Mythology

             My most memorable story was the story about Medusa, because she was very cool and evil. She was a beautiful girl, but the other girl jealous about her beauty, so they turn her in to stone. Percy cut off Medusa's head to kill the sea monster. I like the story because it really cool if you could turn people into stones by looking at that person. Her head could also be a deadly weapon. In the story, they had different looking of Medusa, some Medusa has snakes hair and body with bows and arrows with them. Some are just human body snaky hair and deadly eyes. For now on the character Medusa were made into many story and movie.

Racism

             I think racism means some people prejudice someone because they believe in some kind of stuff. In the story, The Cay Phillip believe that black people are poor and bad, so he had racism to Timothy. For me if I was discriminated against by someone. I don't really care what he said, but if he hurt me I would punch that person in the face. If they were bigger than me, I wouldn't care about it. Unless if the hurt me.

New Narrtor-New Narrative

             If the story was telling by the Timothy, the conversation in the story would be different written, because Timothy has different a west Indian accent and it would be hard to read. In the story, he said " Twas off d'shore, Phill-eep. " Tis back now. An' our luck is change." that show the accent and his point of view of the how lucky he is. If the story change, I would think the story would be less prejudice in the story because Timothy was good to Phillip.

Consider This....

             Question: "He does not really like me, or he would have taken me along. He was different." Why does Timothy leave Phillip behind when he goes to the reef for the first time? Why is Phillip so quick to misinterpret Timothy's behavior? What do you think causes people to feel prejudice against others, as Phillip feels toward timothy.

              Answer: Timothy leave Phillip behind when he goes to reef for the first time because he think it too dangerous that let Phillip to go with him. Phillip so quick to misinterpret Timothy's behavior because Phillip think black people are bad, so he think that Timothy don't like him. It feel sad that people prejudice against others, and I was upset that why Phillip prejudice Timothy. Especially Timothy was helping Phillip to get rescue. I think people can't prejudice each others. I would be friend of Timothy if I am Phillip because Phillip was blind on the island, everything was prepared by Timothy. Phillip didn't do anything, so my attitude to Timothy would be nice and thankful.

Topic vs. Theme

             The theme of 'The Highwayman was to do what you promise. The highwayman said " Look for me by moonlight; Watch for me by moonlight; I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way! He promise the landlord's daughter Bess, that he would come back, but Tim told the soldier that the highwayman would come back. The soldiers got in landlord's house, kill the landlord and tie up Bess. They were ready to capture the highwayman. Then Bess shoot herself. She want to warn the highwayman, but highwayman died at the end. This is how the highwayman did what he promise to Bess.

Your Job

             The first thing I do when I arrived to school. I would take out the book and get ready for my first class. My job in school was to study and learn new stuff. Then I would put the homework in one folder. Those homework that need to turn in for today's class. Before I went to my first class. I would put all the book in my backpack that I have class today, so I won't be late for class because trying to find my textbook. In most of my class, I would take out the certain class book and also put my homework on top of it, so when teacher need you to turn in the certain homework, you don't have to dump all the book out to find that homework. This is for all the class.

Living in the Heart

             I think living in the heart it mean to be nice and kind in life time. I think it better live in heart because if you live in mind, you actually doesn't know what to do. You do something base on your mind, but if you live your heart. You have your own chose  and have own ideas in your life. You won't afraid anything. You would also be kind to people too. You couldn't live without your heart, you would died. If people had no heart, they usually very mean to people.

Helping Freinds

             One time I was in my grandmother's house and met my cousin Steven and Johnson. My aunt asked me that if I could help them with English, so I agreed. My cousin only came back during some days, so it hard to meet them, but I got this chance that I could meet them everyday. My aunt gave me a English book and tell me to teach them read. It nice that we sometimes play a little and we made a fun study hall. My cousin could come to my house if I help them study. I would want to help them again, because sometimes I would show them some video that is read in English, but they couldn't understand, so I would want to help them until they could speak and listen to English will

I wish that I could

             I wish that I could be a tree, because I love to sit under a tree and eat lunch. The trees could cool me down from the high temperature outside. When I was in first grade, I have a tree that I like and sit in the shadow and eat my lunch. Even if my lunch tasted bad, I would still feel happy. Sometimes I would invite my friend to sit and their eat lunch with me. He would always go away first because he felt bored, but I didn't. I would sit there until my lunch was finished, even if sometimes a leaf would fall in my lunch box, I would just pick it up and keep eating. I would like to be a famous tree, because famous trees won't be cut down; they are kind of like a country's tree, I would stand in one place forever until I died.

Short Story

       Today the teacher is going to take us to a forest to study. A horde of students were lined up after the bus. When we got there, the teacher start to fathom us some weird plant and which plant is edible. We see one stranger giving us a derisive look at us. We ran away from him. At the end of the day, we receding from the forest and go home. At night I still think about the stranger.
