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. 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 i__n the current__, cut out the roots __of cotton-woods__ and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled __along the ban__k 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 really wanted a straight A not because I want to please my parents. Half of pleasing my parents is right, but trying to go to a good college is another. My parents wants me to go to a music college, which includes both grade and music skills. So I have to work hard in school and in academy after school because I go to piano academy. It starts at 3:30 pm and sometimes it ends at 8 pm if I'm lucky, but most of the time it finishes at 9 or 10 pm. I always have to do the same thing in same academy which is playing piano and playing cello or doing music theory or history. I don't really like some of them, but know I do.
 * 2 Paragraph:

When I first decided to grow up and go to music college was when I was 5th grade. I started to think that way because I thought I actually can if I only try hard enough on school and piano because I have been playing since I was 7 years old. It's my 7th year playing piano to the step of being a musician. When I first tried my new academy in Bundang, I had to practice everyday 5 hours. I was stunned totally. What k ind of academy makes you do piano for 5 hours to a 3rd grader??!! I practice everyday, and everyday, ( Not actually everyday ) and now I can play any music I want and just look at the first time and start playing. **

Homework due Wednesday, January 20th:

1. Finish posting your: Thesis statement and the who, what, where, when, why and how of your narrative essay. 2. Write and post a summary of the Christmas Carol play.  I think the Christmas Carol Play was really good and the actors acted really good. I think this way because they memorized every single lines, brought their props, and they didn't mumble, and they said their lines out loud so that everyone in the theater can hear. I liked it a lot because first it was easy to understand. Second, it was a creative play! They were incredible! They memorized a whole bunch of lines and they still succeed to play the whole play without making any mistakes or error that is easy to be found by the audience.

The Christmas Carol Play was about this man called Mr. Scrouge. He is a mean man who hates christmas. One day, he meets 3 ghosts who shows his future, his past, and his thoughts. He looks at them all and found out that after Christmas, he will die! So he couldn't sleep so much. On the christmas day, he figured out that he was alive!!! So he was so happy so he gave money to a kid to bye chicken for his friend or employee.

She sounds very polite. She thinks at the positive way. She hates being compared to the white people. ** Classwork Friday, January 15th: 1. DOL 2. What is a Narrative Essay? 3.

Final Draft Essay

A little story, fantasying about something that really cared about, something that I wanted until rest of my life. This story is about my favorite toy when I was young. My favorite toy was my wooden horse that was made by my dad. Here is my fantasying story. While riding the horse, in the field of dust, I was galloping with my horse...when I met my worst enemy. We both started to shoot each other, but couldn’t kill each other. Then at last, I shot my enemy on the chest, and he fall out of his horse. It was my victory of the day.

I never owned a horse, but I had something better. If I make my fantasies come true. One day, I was a cowboy. Another day, I was a cool warrior. MY favorite fantasy was to the warrior, where his Team always win. My wooden horse, my best friend when I was lonely and nothing to do. My wooden horse was my favorite, my friend of fantasy. My fantasy friend, who galloped 1,000 km and hour, was named Will. It was a name, given by my dad. I first thought of another name because I didn’t really like the name Will, but in a few days, I started to like the name Will, and started to call my fantasy friend Will. I loved him so much I forget the time was passing. When I was in to my fantasy with my fantasy friend, Will, 1 fantasy took almost the time I had left. That was kinda sad, because I wanted to have more fantasy story, but I had to eat dinner.

How did I got the wooden horse? Well, it’s a long story. Before I had the wooden horse, I really didn’t had any fantasy. I just lived like a normal kid. Until my dad made the best wooden horse ever in my life. At first, when my dad made me the wooden horse, I was scared to get on and shake the wooden horse, but my dad recommended me to get on the wooden horse and I tried and fall of the wooden horse. I didn’t got on the horse for another 1 week or so. My dad said “Everyone fails at the first, but you should always give it another shot and see what happens.” So I got on the wooden horse again, and this time, I didn’t fall of the horse! I was so excited to get on my wooden horse when I was back from prekindergarten class. Thats how my got my fantasy alive.

I will tell you one of my fantasy story. It was when I become an Warrior. I lived in a big castle. The castle was the biggest castle in the whole entire world. Everyone wanted the castle, but I, the Warrior, keep them from coming to take over the Castle. The castle was called the Castle of Light. The Castle of Light was in North America. We were celebrating our 100th anniversary of the Castle of Light, when the guardian was running towards us and told me about the enemies coming toward us. It will become the biggest battle ever. We were out numbered so badly. I took my best friend, Will and went out to the battle field. We fought and fought, until 5 years had passed and nobody won. At the night, I had a perfect idea. I am going to sneak up to the enemies captain and kill him so they didn’t had any good warriors. I sneaked up to there base and killed the captain of the enemies. So they run away and they never came back. I was honored and I became the best Warrior in the whole entire world. I felt great. Thanks to all my great friend, Will. He helped me a lot. He helped me travel far away. I wish Will was a human so I could be his best friend so we could fight together. This was my favorite fantasy of my life.

Now, my best friend Will is gone. He was to old and weak. Just like an real horse, my best friend in my life had died. I was crying to death. My dad and I buried him out of the battle field where he could live safely so he can live in the upper world in safe. Now, I have a little sister who is 2 years old. I hope she has a favorite toy that could make her own fantasy become larger and grow. I have a message to my best friend Will. Will, my best friend, wait for me in the upper world. I am going for you, my friend.
