Goodness

No, being good all the time definietly is nto something to follow for the rest of your life. Every men have to face a time of disobediance, where they have to fight against authority or other people. The story of the aunt is bad, it might be good in some direction but i believe her intention of just behave is wrong. When you behave all the time, your inner thoughts can be covered, and become over flowed. In real life, society values people with free thinkings, people with great thoughts and ideas that can lead people and do things incredible. Look at the guy that made facbook, he dropped out of harvard, and so with Bill Gates, i don't believe that they followed what their parents want to succeed in life like this. I believe that the bachelor's story is a reflect of the real world. When you are too obediant, you can attract the wolves and bite you back for your obediance. In life, one have to be strong about their thoughts and mind to fight the wolves back.

Saki’s Purpose

I believe that Saki uses the aunt's story as a sorta old style of thinking. Teaching people a lesson however it doesn't make the story interesting and leave a hard impression on the children's mind. It might wbe a warnign or a showing of how old style of thinking and the new type of thinking. In the situation of don't, that is what mostly the adults say to a child. Don't do this, don't do that, is what most people or kids hear. It is heard often times to kids and they can get annoyed. The story and all these hintss is like a appeal for the author discussing the clash of the two thinkings. The bachelor answers the children's imagination with lots of discription, rather than shutting it down, he explains it and added another color or layer to his story.

Influence of Childhood

I believe that expierence is one of the key event for a good book. A writer with lots of expierence will most likely know what to write in the book and make it interesting and fun for people to read. Childhood expeiernce often changes a person's behavior as it leaves a big impression in people's mind as the days goes pass. The bigger the influences are, the greater the diffrence of material will the writer write about. Childhood influence doesn't just change how a perosn writes their story, it can also affect their lifestyles. For example, i was stuck in a elevator for 4 hours before and now i hated riding the elevator alone for the fear of being stuck once again. I would try to walk the stairs most of the time if there isn't anyone going to ride the elevator with me. Such example could be used to writing. If the author lost a family member in a war, most likely they will base their story on war, sorrows of war, or maybe try their best to avoid war in their story as it may bring back unhappy memories. When using a memory that the author had, the story could be written in a more interesting or realistic way.

Point of no return

I beleive that msot people back down and panic when they meets a point of no return. For me, te situation differs for my point of no return. I often face lots of point of no return, moving to a new school, a mid-term, a report card, the hour before my competition of taekwando or even going on a rollar coaster. These are all points of no return for me, however i just chill out and relax. If there was no one behind my back shouting for something, i ususlly just chill for everything. Such as the mun conference i went recently, i'm fine going up the podium with jeans and sport shoes, as long as pamala won't be at my back shouting at me for not having the suit, I don't really care. I aslo like to imagine myself in the times of a character in a novel, their points of no return also gets me thinking of what i will do when i'm in times like that.

My Favorite Stories

One of my all time favorite story book is "the grave robbers secrets". This is one series that i will never forget or even show my kids. The best series that i read when i was little was "The Lighting Thief". In the series the lighting thief, it included lots of greek gods and myths. Special weapons and awesome scenaries are used and i espacially love that. I have lots of imagination on things, i espacially love creating the views from the things i saw form books and picturing myself fighting beside those people. With all the gods power such as ligthing swifting all through out the book and my heart pounding all around as the plot of the story twist and turns everywhere i get more and more excited on whats going to happen next.
My possibly all time favorite and probably no one can beat the series is the "The Secrets of Grave Robbers". The best and most fascinating thing about this series is that it is hella long. The story is nothing like you would imagine, starting from the descriptions of the graves, the ancient chinese grave robbing secrets and all that codes between the experts. The clans of the people, the wierd and mysterious tombs and settings of the place. There just seems to have endless things in the book that you can just grab and read until the book ends and it can leave you requesting for more and more. The series are still running right now and it would be best if this series could continue all the way towards my graduation year. Everything about the book is fascinating, the characters, the places, the tombs, the conspiracy behind the people, the legendary stories of the people. The places are the most tension grabbing and breath taking places. The author's imagination on the palces are just endless, you could be imagining this ancient prehistoric tomb that is carve right in the middle of the himalayis and the diffrent tools that are used to kill the robbers and how the leader or a little figure on the sides would suddenly turn their backs on the team and suddenly cracks open a jar or so and escaped leaving the people to their death. All kinds of thing could occur in the series and the plot is fascinating. This series is absolutly flawless and i wish you, Mr. Mccool to read this novel if it ever came out in english.
I read alot of book to be honest, i read lots and lots of book outside of school. I have a three big shelves with books that i bought with my own pocket money and i would travel to specific book stores just to check out the newest books and the most interesting series that are around.

What I Like about this class

English 2 Honor have always been a fun class to me, Mr. Mccool' class are also one of my favorites of all time. There is nothing that i don't like about this class and I love this class. The class consists of interesting readings, they are inspirational and i am learning about something interesting in the book and it can help me in my life. F451 is one of the best examples. Now, I would like to walk around the neighborhood and take a look around and even help someone to open the door for them or picking up something. The class materials are not too hard, the homework loads are not too much, quality work instead of quantity work. We have enough time to prepare for the tests, class preparations and all we need to know about the test. Latin and Greek roots quiz are also a great thing about this class. Its something that i haven't learn before and Mr. Mccool continue the work of Ms. Brown and made it better and more fun. The jokes in class created a happy atomsphere and no grumpy stuff around that can make you really angry. Mr. Mccool teaches good, I'm absorbing all the stuff that's being taught to me right now and its useful stuff. This class is flawless, its perfect, andd i wouldn't want to change anything about it at all.

Why be a Prodigy?

Jing-Mei's mother believe that they are in the land, the land where people could be whatever they want to be. America was her dream and ahse wish to open new land for her daughter. Jing-Mei was excited at first too about the dream of being a prodigy. She wanted to get her parent's approval and tried her best to do it. My mom and dad doesn't actually press me on anything hard. They mumbles around my ear everyday abut getting striaght As at first and I'm also trying my best. My mom and dad just kept on talking to me that i need to work harder and umbles aorund my ears everyday. After a long time, i got really fed up and was angry for them to putting so many invisible barrier pressure on me and they just kept on saying look at the other people outside. She kind of just constantly using people from the local school on how many after school academies they have to go and how i don't have to do anything. When i compare my friends to me, they always use the excuse" don't use the people let's bad around, you are you, they are they don't compare" It just pissed me off. Last year was when there are most fights because they think i don't have any homework. We shouted to each other almost everyday and when i go back to see my dad i'm pretty much scared if we will get into a brawl. The only people that could listen to my complains was my aunt and she took it all in and act like a messenger to dilever my messgaes. After half a year my dad finally decide to stop the mumbling and let go. However my mom didn't and she just constantly mumble until i was so angry one day i left the house for the whole day until 1 then i went back home. It really bugged me and now this year the homework load is four times more they stopped mumbling about my homeworks. I push myself in things that they didn't push such as taekwando, i went into a few competitions and went into the champions class for my own good. I normally pushes myself on work but they were just paranoid on A and didn't see it, like they want me to do just more and more. Last year was a very tiring period since my mom and dad changes plan everyday such as shutting down the internetm took the tv away from my small room and leave no entertainment to me. It's not as bizarre as the tests that Jing Mei's mom give but it acts like a invisible tense atmosphere around the house and i wanted to escape it whenever i go back to taipei. The life of Jing Mei is really sad, and even though my mom slips all kinds of activities such as going out with friends to me but when the people say yes and the mood says no, it actually feels more tense and sad when you disobey them. In the end me and my parents decided that i can't be push by them like that and it will just crush the family. They loosen up, and now I can finally work regularly again. Jing Mei's story kind of touch what happened to me last year and i was kind of touched and this journal write kind of opened up the feeling and i just wrote all this.
