//**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.//

NAME: Jayoon Lee Boy of the Painted Cave Chapters 15-18

** Write about a time when you felt like you were trapped, either in a place or in a situation. Describe the circumstances, your feelings, and what you did to get free. The time I felt like I was trapped was when I was 5 years old, playing around with my mom's stuff and i locked her door, before I closed it, and after locking it, I got out of the room, as I shut the door. Since I thought it was the funniest thing in the world, I decided to tell my mom, thinking she would laugh, and be able to open it. When my mom heard the word "locked", she started getting a little red...... I thought she was just not feeling well, so then I decided to cheer her up, which was a not- so- good idea. My mom started scolding me telling me that she didn't have the room key at that moment, and she locked me in my tiny room. I felt like the world was sooo small, and it was the size of me, so I felt as if the Earth was just hanging on top of me. I couldn't open MY door, since my mom never gave me the key to unlock my room. So I realized that now I was locked in the room. I was NOT feeling well. My face started crumpling up, and getting scrunched up, until my face was a size of a tape roll. Unexpectedly, I felt something wet roll out of my eye, and down my cheek. Then, I told myself that it was fine, so then I just stayed in my room, and slept. But after the nap, which was about 5 minutes, I decided I could not get it together in that room, so I was scheming out a plan to get out of the room. I couldn't think of anything, so I was going to give up, when suddenly, I saw a small hair - clip lying on the desk. I knew what to do, so I stuck the pin deep in to the key hole, and turned the hole around. With a huge noise, the door unlocked, and I was able to get out.

Imagine you are someone who doesn't know who his father is and suddenly finds out. What would your reactions and feelings be?

If I didn't know my dad, and I suddenly finds out, my reactions would be acting surprised, and I would be very nervous, if I knew that he was coming, and that I had to meat him. I would be shocked if I didn't know who my dad was, and I suddenly got to see him, but rather than that, I would be more surprised to hear that my dad is Volt, who used to hate me. **

Finish final draft of essay due. Print it before class. Also, post on your wiki. (I copied and pasted out of my pages document that I printed) Topic: We are increasingly worried about our environment. Write an essay explaining about one environmental problem you think is important and propose some possible solutions to the problems.

Did you know that Global warming has been an issue for us, in the past few years? Global Warming is when the average temperature on Earth increases, due to some of human activities where people drive too much, and develop CO2 in the air, green house gas, and burning fossil fuel. Global warming has bin an issue for the weather, our environment, and also the climates for many countries/ continents/ habitats. That’s what’s been causing us so much worries about our environment. Which we should all try to fix.

Why do the people care so much, and worry too much about one environment, well, that is because our environment is getting destroyed by us, humans. We are burning fossil fuels, using a LOT of engine, or otherwise known as cars; and cars produce CO2, not only that, but a lot more that harms the nature : for example, throwing away garbage on the floor, especially plastic bags that take 1000s of years to decompose in to the Earth. If we ruin the environment we have, we don’t have another chance to fix it back up, or make a change, since this is the only environment we actually have. Since we made this chaos, in my opinion, I think that WE ALL (EVERYONE on EARTH) have a job to do: helping this Earth recover. So we should all care about the Earth, and realize what we have done to the Earth.

One of the environmental problems that seem to be an issue ( in my opinion) the most is using too much transportation move from a place to another. This goal that I picked is also stated in one of the Millennium goals. The New York times stated that (author of the NY times) they feel despair over the fate of the planet, because of the sense that we are hurtling towards catastrophe but nobody actually wants to hear about it. ( catastrophe- a sudden wide- spread disaster ) The reason I think that using too much transportation to move is becoming an issue is because they observe oil, and release it as a form of carbon dioxide, also known as CO2. This also takes big part in causing the global warming. Due to the fact that the CO2 that we use flies up in the sky high above us, it moves towards the North Pole (Antarctica ) and melts the glacier that is lying on top of the water. That effects us, and the animals that live there, because they hunt in the water, and stay on the glacier when they get exhausted, they sleep on glacier, but we, humans, are causing them to melt, which also effects the animal, by killing them, because they don’t have shelter. That not only effects them, but can also effect us, if all that glacier melts, our Earth will be flooded with water. When it comes to that time, we don’t have anyone to blame on, because it was our fault that we didn’t care until the last second. So if we actually want to survive, we should try to help the Earth get better again, and clean up this mess that we made.

We can help the environment get better by using less transportation to get to places, using Compact Fluorescent light bulbs at home, and stop littering especially in forests, or soil. It takes few thousands of years for them to decompose, and become a part of the soil. If we try to save energy, use a bit less transportation, and stop littering, we can clean this mess up that we made. If most of the people mad a change, even a VERY small change, it could help us, and the environment. Just because there are so many people living on this wonderful almost- destroyed planet, a small difference from each person can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I think that the reason we are worried so much about the environment is because we have already been making the Earth like a trash ball, and now we can’t fix very much of it, unless every single person on Earth makes a change. I think that one big example was using too much gasoline/ oil in cars. We could improve that by using a little less transportation when we are visiting places near by, such as walking. That way, everybody can easily help and that small favor that we are doing for OUR EARTH will make a big change. So TOGETHER, we should ALL try to make at least ONE improvement in our lives, and actions. ** Homework due October 7th 1. Expository Essay 3rd draft. Make the changes that your peer suggested.

For the weather, our environment, and also the climates for many countries/continents/ habbitats. That's what's been causing us so much worries about our environment. That is also what I will talk about today. paragraph 2- The reason people are worried about the environment Why do the people care so much, and worry too much about one environment, well, that is because our environment is getting destroyed by us, humans. We are burning fossil fuels, using a LOT of engine, or otherwise known as cars; and cars produce Co2, not only that, but a lot more that harms the nature: for example, throwing away garbage on the floor, especially plastic bags that take 1000s of years to decompose in to the Earth.

One of the environmental problems that seems to be an issue (in my opinion) the most is using to much transportation to move from a place to another. The reason I think that using too much of transportation to move is becoming an issue is because they observe oil, and release it as a form of carbon dioxide, also known as CO2. This is also takes big part in causing the global warming also. Becuase of the fact that the CO2 that we use flies up in the sky high above us, it moves towards the North Pole (Antarctica) and melts the glacier that is lying on top of the water. That effects us, and the animals that live there because they hunt in the water, and they stay on the glacier when they get tired, and they sleep on glacier, but we are melting them, so they are dying. It effects us, since if All of that glacier melts our Earth will be flooded with water. When it comes to that time, we don't have anyone to blame on, because it was our fault that we didn't care until the last second.
