__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 clou__ds 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.

Narrative Essay 
 * HW due Monday, Feb 8th:**

Michelle Kee/2010.Jan.22/block C/

What do you think when people say its Thanksgiving day? “Yay! we don’t go to school!”,”Ah, so boring, what you really do is sit and eat”,”The whole family is getting together?” and more. People say that thanksgiving is boring. But my thanksgiving is never boring. Boring is used when you have to study math hard problems. When i think about Thanksgiving, one memory always pops into my head. “Thanksgiving=family,friends,food,party.” The story began when i was 7 years old. I was in the states, Seattle when i was 4 years old to 8. I had my best friends, Chiria, and Ayden. Our families were close friends so we had a party in Thanksgiving. On thanksgiving, we met up in Ayden’s house. When my family stepped into the house, everything pleasant. All the presents, the brown yellow dark red leaves covering the table for decoration, the kids running around the place, mmm the smell of food and turkey from the kitchen, and everything was just the way it had to be. It was just plain,normal wonderful. Everybody was here. Our family, Chiria’s family, Ayden’s family all together. We started the feast, with a laughter. For a 7 year old little girl, it was quite boring to just stay on the table dressed like a princess with a pink tutu, and not doing anything while the parents talk, have wine, and chit chat by their own. So, as for a boring little 7 year old, she stopped staring at the adults trying to listen and get every word they say and went out of the table with her best friends, Chiria, and Ayden. That little 7th year old was me. We had a big dinner and the presents were waiting for me and my friends. Chiria’s Grandparents came and gave us all sorts of presents. I got the yummiest and sweetest present. I got come chocolate, and i remember they were really good. Chiria’s grandmother told us stories which we enjoyed a lot. I remember siting right next to Ayden and listening to the story and we were so into it. I can’t remember the story but i think it was a fairy tale. I had everything i needed beside me. My friends, chocolate, family, food, and a wonderful story. Just imagine, what would a 7 year old kid want? I wanted this and i had it so i believe i was a very lucky 7 year old pink tutu girl that time. The party ended with a blast! We had chocolate, the whole family came to the living room, started to sing and had fun. It really looked like a Indian tribal singing and dancing to imagine now. After the whole singing and stories, all of our family had to go home. I thought if time just went slower and slower......I always think that time is so unfair these days too. When your having fun, time goes so fast, and when your not having fun for example your doing your boring science or math home work, time never flies. I didn’t really feel like going back home. But my parents urged me to go, so a little 7 year old girl’s face turned up-side down. Today to think about it, i really had fun at Adyen’s with all the presents, food and stuff. It was really awesome and i knew that every girl at that time deserves that kind of fun. Maybe because i really had fun and i felt wonderful, i can think of it right now after 6 years. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday for me. It will stay the same. Never boring, just plain wonderful thanksgiving. By the way, memories never fail you. It is a long cozy friend always by your side. Never goes away if you really had a wonderful time at that place. As far as you can remember i think everything can be a memory. But lets try not to make bad memories. No wonder the little 7 year old with the pink tutu is having an easy time writing her essay in this kind of time, after 6 years and laughing about it while thinking, imagining it in her head and writing all that little description down one by one........

The plot is about Kala telling Tao a story about Tao`s mother Vedra. Kala tells Tao that she was 16 when she got Tao. When winter came, it began to get cold and chilly but Vedra gave all her warmness to Tao. She held him under her breast and made him warm. Tao was very weak when he was little. One of the laws were to give a skinny and weak little child to the hyenas but Vedra refused strongly that the elders couldn`t make her to do it. The wind got cold and cold. Vedra did every thing to make Tao alive but she died instead of Tao. Kala said to Tao while telling the story that Tao`s mother could imagine the pictures in the sky just like Tao. She was very good at making stuff with a part of nature. tao was happy to hear this. After the story He went to hunt food for Kala for telling the story about his mother. The setting is at the hut where Kala stays. She tells Tao a story about Tao`s mother because Tao begs for a story about his parents. Tao listens carefully to Kala while she tells the story. The new characters is Tao`s mother Vedra. Verdra had Tao when she was young. She was captured in one raids during summer. She had Tao in the winter and although she was cold, she tried so hard to make Tao alive in the coldness. There was a law to give weak young children to the hyenas but Vedra kept on fighting against the elders. I believe that Tao`s mother has a characteristic to love and take care powerfully of the person she has. She loved Tao. She is nice and thoughtful. She likes to make stuff with moving she hands. Tao and Vedra has the same personality and loves looking at the sky seeing pictures of things.
