How am I changed by reading Code Talkers?

How am I changed by reading Code Talkers?

I learned many things and I felt many things after I read this one book. Thinking of war changed and I could fix my wrong notion
War is really dangerous. The soldiers risk their life and fight in the battle. I thought soldiers fight with enemies forcibly but it is not. They had patriotic spirit and they wanted to fight and they had hard time doing trainings but they were proud of themselves and they did their best.
The one thing that really changed is my wrong thoughts. I thought if there is failure or something going wrong, then the probability of success might decrease. However, how my mind changed. In this story, they lost the war and also soldiers died. Nevertheless, they won the war at the end of the story. They won the Japan. I learned that if we try soldiers died but Ned survived. Every effort you make will be rewarded. So far, I didn’t work hard and I couldn’t finish something by my effort. From now, I can do something really hard because there is nothing impossible.
I could change my two wrong things. Also I could put forth strength. I was hopeful that I can do everything if I try and if I be faithful like Ned in this story. He had hard time when he went to boarding school but he studied and got good scores in report. Like the preceding, I could change and from now I will change more. Then I will achieve that I want to.

Book Title: To kill a mockingbird

DESCRIBING CHARACTERS
* SCOUT: She is a daughter of ATTICUS.
* JEM: He is an older brother of SCOUT.
* ATTICUS: He is father of SCOUT and JEM. He is a lawyer.

SUMMARY
The background of this story is the Maycomb, a small town of Alabama. At this time, there was racial segregation. In this story it is mostly about the Tom Robinson who did sexual violence to a Mayella, a white girl. Atticus was not like other white people. He thought black people and white people have to treated same way. There is no difference, just skin color is different. They are same people. I can’t understand why people treated black people bad. Atticus defended Tom Robinson. When people heard that Atticus defending Tom Robinson, some people thought he is a Nigger-lover. Also Mrs. Dubose said he is a nigger-lover. Therefore, Jem was angry so he messed up Mrs. Dubose’s garden. Then he got punishment. He had to read a book for Mrs. Dubose. Then, after few days later, Mrs. Dubose died. She was a old morphine addict. She had some kind of disease that prompted her to take morphine as a pain killer. In that part Atticus said to Jem,
“I wanted to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.”
Also this was one of my favorite speeches.
Let’s continue Tom Robinson’s story. When the day of trial comes, first time Atticus loses. If Atticus loses, Tom Robinson has to sit on electrical chair and die. Finally, Atticus loses. Actually, it was not Tom Robinson’s fault. First, Mayella attempted so it is not Tom Robinson’s fault. Also people know that Tom Robinson didn’t commit a crime. After Atticus knew that it is not Tom Robinson’s fault, he begged to jury but they avoided. Tom Robinson had to die. Of course he didn’t want to die, so he decided to escape. Unfortunately, he was caught so he was shot dead. He is so poor. He didn’t do anything but he had to die because he is a black colored skin. It is unfair. White people were so rude to black people.
According to this book title, the author described the people who get hurt to mockingbird. In this story, it says to kill a mockingbird is a sin. Atticus said,
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy… but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
This was my favorite speech.

AFTER I READ THIS STORY
When I read this story, I felt many things. Why did they treated black people like that? Because of the skin color? It that’s the only reason, white people did really really wrong thing. It is same thing that they committed a crime. They have to reflect about that. Black people cried and they had pain. Many black people died because of racial segregation. Many black people cried over this racial segregation and they get the eye from other white people.
Anyway, this book was difficult to me but when I know the contents of a book, it was little interesting. Also there was many of an impressive speeches.

February 5

It was terrible day. Today I felt really bad. When I woke up, I ate my breakfast and I was having rest. Then my tutor came. She had to come to my house in 7 o’clock at night. Even I didn’t do my homework. My mother thought she is coming at 7 o’clock. Then I was in trouble. My teacher didn’t finished class in time. I was really angry. I hate teachers who don’t finish class in time. I really hate it!
After tutor go, I ate my lunch by myself. I was watching TV and laughing alone and I was playing computer game and I yell myself. I was like a crazy person today. When the dinnertime came, my mom called me to come to Hyundai department store and have dinner together. I was lazy to go but I was starving so I went to department store. There were my mother’s friends. They were talking and they didn’t talk with me. I was really angry. When they go and laugh and talk, I was going alone.
Today I felt really angry and sad and lonely. In vacation, I’m becoming crazy.

There were not many colors but it was pretty so I bought it. Then I went back home. When I came home my tutor came so I studied. I was too tired because I walked around for 4 hours. But I studied! When I finished study, I took a rest.

When I cleaned, I was too proud of myself. My room was too clean! Then I started my homework. There were too much homework. School homework, tutor homework, and academy homework.
I was too angry today, because my mother break my promise again!! Also my father said I can meet my friend but he said no. I was too angry. My mother said tomorrow she will go out with me and buy clothes for me. I hope she will not break promise again.

Also my aunt grandmother came. They were making foods for me. I stayed home with my grandmother and I met Rina to give her something. Then I went back to house and I watched TV. I was too boring. That is a reason of why I hate vacation. In vacation, I have to study more hard and I have to stay home for a long time. I don’t have free time. Today I was going to buy my clothes with my mother, but my mother break promise with me and she went to somewhere. Tomorrow I will buy clothes. If she break promise again, I will be really angry. Now, I am so worry about another 1 week with no school. It will be boring.
Watching TV, study, eat, sleep, and play with my grandmother was things that I did today. It was too boring!!

Book Title: Dead Poets Society

This book was one of my favorite book. The main characters in this book are Mr.Keating, the new teacher of the school, Neil, the student who is very smart, and Todd, the student who came to the new school.
Summary
When the new semester started, many new teachers and students came to Welton Academy. Students met their friends and they talked about vacations. Neil and Todd became roommate. Then Neil and Todd and Charlie and other students became closer each other.
Then the class started. The new teacher, Mr. Keating began to teach students. Actually, Mr. Keating was very interesting teacher. He was different than other teacher. However, his class looks fun.
One day, Neil and his other friends wanted to know about Mr. Keating. They found book in library. There was Mr. Keating’s picture and there was introduction of him. There was something that Neil and his friends couldn’t understand. That word was ‘Dead Poets Society’. Neil and his friends wanted to know about ‘Dead Poets Society’, so they ran to Mr. Keating and asked. He explained about the ‘Dead Poets Society’. Mr. Keating said it is kind of group that reads poets together and take turns. When Neil heard that, Neil wanted to do that. Therefore, Neil and his friends went to cave in night and they read the poets. Almost all night they went to cave and read the poet.
That was the secret society. But they couldn’t keep the secret. After Neil died, then Cameron told to Nolan about ‘Dead Poets Society’. I will tell you about how Neil died.
From before, Neil wanted to play a drama. That was the only dream to Neil. At that time, there was a drama audition for performance, so Neil didn't talked to his father and Neil went to drama audition. The result was really good. Neil was singled out for this audition and! he was main character in this performance.
When the performace came, Neil's father went to the school and he saw Neil performing. He watched and Neil's father took Neil to home and he decided Neil to go another school.
In that night, Neil was so sad and angry because he couldn't follow his dream. Therfore, he suicide himself but Neil was okay because he thought he did good job in performance.
After Neil died, Chameron thought this happened because of Mr. Keating so he told principal about the 'Dead Poets Society'. That caused... Mr.Keating. Mr.Keating coulnd't be teacher in that school anymore. Charlie and other people in 'Dead Poets Society', they were so sorry to Mr. Keating, so they catched Mr. Keating not to go. Then Mr. Keating was so proud of his students. But Mr. Keating leaved school. This was the end of story.
This book is really nice book. When I read book, I always fell asleep but when I read this book I was so excited to read.

How do you feel on a snow day?

When it's snowing, I'm happy! Whole world is white. It is so beautiful. One may well say so, but when I'm going out and playing with friends, and if it snows, I really hated because it's too cold. Last time, when I went to Lotte World with my friends, the snow falls too much. Therefore, we couldn't ride many things. It was too cold and many rides didn't administered. Also today is snowing.

Rina's mother and father went to Japan so she and her sister sleeps at my home. It was fun. I didn't practice basketball because Rina's sister will come early. We played little bit and I had to go to academy. I was so!! tired. I was really sleepy in academy, so I couldn't solve the problems. Also I couldn't study. When the academy finished, I was hungry. I bought doughnuts and went home. I watched movie with Rina and her sister. Then the time was too late so I was going to sleep but I was not sleepy. Also rina didn't sleep. So I took a rina's picture then we were laughing too much so my mother was angry. Therefore we slept. That was my day.

Journal- 12/9

Today there was no special thing happened. I stayed home most of time because there were so many things to do. There were school homework, tutor homework, and academy homework. It took a long time. Studying time dwindle because of basketball. I go to basketball practice everyday except Monday and weekends. Also there are two basketball games in a week. Also I didn’t pass my mainstream test. My parents are worried about I’m in sheltered class. Therefore, I study in weekends. I studied today and finished my homework. Then I went to a beauty shop and I cut my hair. I cut my hair short. My hair was always same so I wanted to change. After I cut my hair, I regretted. My mother and father liked my hair but I didn’t like. I miss my before hair.

Persuasive essay

These days, most of students are short of exercise. Figure for this problem is to play sports in school. In school students can enjoy sports after school. That will be helpful.

Judging from my experience, school sports are really important. I was playing basketball. I enjoyed it! Also on weekends, I played games with other school. It's really fun and also I can exercise. It is not boring because I'm playing with my friends. I think school sports are good for students.

Even so, playing sports are not always good. Students can't study very much because of school sports. They have to practice after school and sometimes they have to play games on weekends. Then studying time will dwindle away. Also if they play sports, they're physical strength will dwindle.

All students can't play school sports. There are stipulation to play school sports. They have to get good grades to play team sports. If they play team sports, their studying time will decrease than before. Sometimes, they can't take lessons because of school sports game. Students have to study hard if they want to enjoy school sports.

In conclusion, in some ways school sports are good and in some ways school sports can be bad.
My opinion is doing school sports are good because if students study hard there is no problem at playing school sports.

Christmas(final draft)

In winter, there is holiday called Christmas. It is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It is on December 25th.
In Christmas, Santa claus give presents to children because to celebrate winter holiday traditions. Also I wished to Santa claus and after morning there were presents beneath christmas tree.
Also in Christmas, we do many things. We sing carols. It's really fun. Last year, I sang carols with my friends in school. And we decorate christmas tree. I enjoy to decorate. Christmas tree tradition is believed to have begun in Germany in the 18th century. There are many plants for holiday. There are holly, mistletoe, red amaryllis, and Christmas cactus. Along with a Christmas tree, the interior of a home may be decorated with these plants, along with garlands and evergreen foliage. There are decorations. Other traditional decorations include bells, candles, candy canes, stockings, wreaths, and angels.
Christmas is the holiday that I like best.

3 most important relationships....

* The 3 most important Relationships that a student has…

The three most important Relationships that I have are friends, family, and teachers.

Friends are important because I can rely on them. I can talk everything that I can’t talk to my family. They appreciate what I feel and what I want to say. Sometimes they console me when I have problems. We spent good and bad time together.

Families are my closest people. Also friends are comfortable but families are more comfortable, because we knew each other from the moment I was born. They are a part of my life. They are important because they help me to be a good person and form my identity.

The relationship between my teachers and I are important because they educate many things to me and give information. For example, math teacher teaches me how to count numbers so that I can use money to buy things. Science teacher teaches me about importance of nature. English teacher helped me get out of illiteracy. I learn many things from teachers.

I think these three are most important relationships to me. Without friends, families, and teachers, I will be sad and I will be a fool.

10/28- Sunday

It was not a special day. I stayed home for a whole time. I did my school homework, academy homework, and tutor homework. It took a long time. Also I did computer games. It was really fun. In afternoon, my cousin came and played with me. Sometimes she bothered my so I was angry. She hit my teddy bear and she messed up my room. I was angry because I cleaned my room yesterday. She stayed for a long time.

It was a usual day. Nothing special

I think there is nothing that I learned

Ciara

Ciara

She is a popular singer. She is a great singer. Also she did her concert in Korea. I like her song very much. She also does a songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actress. She is really famous singer in the world.

She is a great dancer before a singer. Because she loves dance so she like to perform. Her dance is coming naturally from her and it looks like she is into it.
Ciara was inspired by Michael and Janet Jackson. Ciara respect the two prominent artists.

Ciara is passionate about her life. She had to sacrifice a lot of things to become a famous star. This job that Ciara has is not what people think, because she thinks it is a crazy job. But she also said, if you want to pursue a career, you have to control it.
I think she’s interesting because she is honest and says things that she wants clearly.

Last year her new album came out. The album name is “The Evolution.”The album is composed of Miami bass, Atlanta crunk, ballads, dance tracks, and old school songs with “big fat pop hooks.”Ciara is really popular. Most of people like her song. Also my brother loves Ciara’s song. Her new album songs are good. In this album, especially I like two songs. “Like a boy” and “Can’t leave Em’ Alone.”

In conclusion, I think Ciara is a perfect singer. She is passionate. I hope she will be the best singer in the world. She is great but if she try more and more, she will be more popular than other great singers.

First draft

I think South and North Korea is getting much better. Now, South Korean can visit North Korea. Many people can meet their family or friend who didn’t met for a long time.
First, Noh moo hyun and Kim Jung il did economy project. It is to start preparation for the mount. Beakdu tours. Also they are plan to hold discussions with North Korean officials regarding the tourism project.
Second, we can visit mountain Geumgang. We couldn’t visit it before but now everyone in South Korea can but we rode boat or ship and go to North Korea. I think to ride plane and go to North Korea will be dangerous.
Third, we can meet people that we couldn’t see for a long time. Some people separate because of war. They will meet together.
I think South Korea and North Korea is getting better. They are getting closer. It is good news!
