 * 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__.

 * Homework due Monday, October 12th:**

Korean International School also known as KIS has a lot of school rules. In the student hand book, there are pages of school rules. I bet other school has rules too. Everywhere in the world has a rule. In the street there are no spitting or littering rule. At home you can’t use bad words if you are young. Even in markets they have rules. You are not allowed to steal anything without permission. You will not be able to live without rules. My school has especially a lot of rules because it is an international school. What kind of rules does KIS has common with normal school?

Every school has a hallway. Every school needs a hallway to get to classes. In this show called “Escape from Danger Number 1” The show told me that 50% of danger in school happens in the hallway. My school has hallways too. People run in hallways because they are late for class or for some other reasons. They must be wearing backpacks and backpacks weigh a lot. When they run and they want to stop. They will not be able to right away because the backpack will carry the person forward cause of the weight. They could bump into a person and both the people can get hurt. Hallways can be very dangerous.

KIS has a rule that you can’t speak any language except english. The teachers are mostly American. My old school in America, people were allowed to speak any language. I sometimes overheard people saying bad things about the teachers. Most of the time I sat with my Korean friends because they were in 6th grade when I was in 5th grade. We had only lunch time to speak to each other. We spoke Korean because most of the friends couldn’t speak English. It was a great time. Anyways the other people were speaking bad things about the teachers. The teachers didn’t know anything so they spoke bad words any day and time. No one noticed cause they didn’t understand. So I think every school should stick to one language. If it is America it should only speak English. If you are in Korea you should speak Korean. Except international school. But the languages spoken depends on your school.

Almost every school has a lost and found. Lost and founds are places where you put lost items like your cell phone, laptop, and maybe your sport ball. I once went to a lost and found a found my missing I-Pod. I was so happy to find it. I was so happy that a person will put my I-Pod in the lost and found. Some people would just take it. I saw people just take it if it was a good item. So I think every school should have a rule to put items in the lost and found if it is not your item. It will be really nice to put items in the lost and found. It will be mean to take items from the lost and found. Taking items from the lost and found means stealing. So everything you found that’s not yours should belong in the lost and found not your backpack.

So every school in the world have something in common. They have hallways, bathroom, lockers, and a lot of other things in common. Every school also has rules. We have rules all around us. But not every rules are followed. Some people just deny it. They ignore and break it. Rules are there to help you. They are there to protect you so you should always follow it.

This is my essay: Korean International School also known as KIS has a lot of school rules. In the student hand book. There are pages of school rules. I bet other school has rules too. Everywhere in the world has a rule. In the street there are no spitting or littering rule. At home you can’t use bad words if you are young. Even in markets they have rules.

I would not like any pets, I don't like the extra work you have to do for pets. I would be delighted to have a pet but the extra work and the responsibility is just not my type. Plus when I go to school, who would take care of it. My dad will be at work and my mom would be doing house chores. Instead of spending time with dogs or other pets. It'll be much better and good with your family. Even though pets could play fetch and do tricks. There are a lot of things that pets can't do but people can. Pets can't clean up after themselves, but people can. People could help you with homework or help you, but pets can't. I would not like any pets. It would be extra work for all of us. So mom and dad, you guys don't have to worry about pets or other animal in our house. I can't tell you about brother. I bet he would want a pet.
