As you read this paragraph, see if you can identify all the [|prepositional phrases] used by Steinbeck to convey the dramatic return of rain after a long, painful drought. //Underline the prepositional phrases.//


 * Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

__Over the high coast mountains__ and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched __in from the ocean__. The wind blew fiercely and silently, high __in the air__, and it swished __in the brush__, and it roared __in the forests__. The clouds came __in brokenly__, __in puffs__, __in folds__, __in gray crags__; and they piled __in together__ and settled low __over the west__. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain began __with gusty showers__, pauses and downpours; and then gradually it settled __to a single tempo__, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray __to see through__, rain that cut midday light __to evening__. And __at first__ the dry earth sucked the moisture down and blackened. __For two days__ the earth drank the rain, __until the earth__ was full. Then puddles formed, and __in the low places__ little lakes formed __in the fields__. The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. __At last__ the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled __into the streams__, built them __to freshets__, and sent them roaring down the canyons __into the valleys__. The rain beat __on steadily__. And the streams and the little rivers edged __up to the bank__ sides and worked __at willows__ and tree roots, bent the willows deep __in the current,__ cut out the roots __of cotton-woods__ and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled __along the bank__ sides and crept __up the banks__ until __at last__ it spilled over, __into the fields__, __into the orchards__, __into the cotton patches__ where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped __up the surfaces__. Then the water poured __over the highways__, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling muddy wake behind. The earth whispered __under the beat of the rain__, and the streams thundered __under the churning freshets.__

I looked over and smiled at the white lady in the next car, but instead of smiling back like a nice young woman, she frowned at me like I had something hanging from my nose. **Personal Narrative I couldn't sleep at that night, because I was so excited to get a present next morning. The time rushed to midnight. I was in a dreamland. I even remember the dream I had that night. I was skiing with Santa in my dream. Near 1 A.M. I woke up because I had to go to bathroom. I couldn't see anything in the living room, but I was able to see a light that was coming from the bedroom of parents. I just hid near the pillar and I was able to see my parents walking out to the living room and putting my Christmas present. At first, I thought it was a present from my parents, not from Santa. But the letter made me shocking and scream like a monkey in a shock. The letter that my parents said that, "from Santa" in Korean. I touched my mom's back and she was almost in the black out. They were caught by me.

**Descriptive Essay- Centipede, James and the Giant Peach**

In the book James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, there are lots of scintillating characters such as Earthworm, Centipede and Grasshopper. I selected Centipede as my descriptive character. He is the most comical character of whole characters and his personality and behavior are well described in the book. Briefly, his appearance is strange such as too many legs, his personality is selfish and arrogant, but he sometimes shows the cowardice to others. All of these factors make the reader laugh and relish.

Centipede has countless legs. In this book, Centipede has 40 legs. When he walks, it looks like an army marching. But he doesn’t move, tough has has 40 legs. Everybody wonders why he doesn’t stir a finger. When he sleeps, he looks like an orange cottons candy, because his body is almost completely hidden by colorful, shaggy, and short hair and many feet. When I see the railroad, it reminds me Centipede’s body shape.

His personality is somewhat arrogant, because every hour, he always show off his splendid slight legs to his friends. Also, he is extremely offensive, because he struggles with Earthworm everyday. As I mentioned above, Centipede has a lot of legs so it means he has to wear tons of boots to walk. Whenever he is going out, he commands all of his friends to take his boots on. Because of these behaviors, he is unpopular in the Giant Peach society.

Centipede shows opposite character to his friend. He sometimes acts like a coward. When the Giant Peach was rolling down the hill, he thought that he would not be able to survive, because he doesn’t like the ocean much. When the Giant Peach fell down the ocean, all the mates were frightened but they thought positive and endured the situation. Among them, only Centipede predicted that all the mates would not survive. It was the prelude of the Centipede adventure.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"> When I read James and the Giant Peach, all the character descriptions impressed me. He described Centipede like a real human being. He can feel the world around him and he sometimes shows his feeling to others. But it doesn’t just a fairly tale, because story contains a real struggle between the characters. Also, it was happy ending.

****Summary****: Hunter was having trouble with his hunting tools. Somebody was keep on breaking his tools, so he could not hunt. Hunter saw a man with a long wiry hair that looked brawny, and Hunter began to notice that the hairy man was smashing all of his tools so he went to the king of Ur, King Gilgamesh to hear his device. He told Hunter a advice, 'Go and find the prettiest dancing girl in Uruk, and take her with you to the drinking place, use her beauty to lure the Wild Man out of the wilderness.'

 * Expository Essay, Why is reading so important?**

Reading is an important thing to do because it helps people to expand their knowledge, but tons of students hate to read, they just want to play. For example, in KIS Reads, all the students hold their books and sleep for 45 minutes and after the bell rings, they rush down to the cafeteria. Most of the students in the entire world know why reading is so important. They know that reading helps us to achieve our dreams and makes us brighter and smarter and happier. Reading gives us a lot of informations that we really need for our daily life and future. But a lot of students hate to read. Most of the teachers and parents want their students, sons and daughters to read books. If we don't read much as everyone, we cannot achieve our dreams that we wish everyday. My parents desire me to read numerous books every month, the books that I can enjoy, but I hated to read since third grade. I got fabulous grades since second grade, because of my writing skill, which was improved by reading tons of kinds of books. I even got the highest award for writing essay in first and second grade. My mom and dad were proud of me and were happy, because I read my favorite books everyday. We can hate reading when we are elementary schoolers but we can change when we get to middle school. My friend called, Richard, hated reading when he was second, third and fourth grader, but when he became a sixth grader, he changed abruptly. He began to read likea professor. Reading can be boring, but we have to read for our better lives and for bright futures. Reading can make us achieve our dream. It will make you smarter and smarter.
