 * Find 3 prepositional phrases in Habibi .Post them + page#**


 * 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.__

Herim Lee 6B Topic:Lost in Lotte World(Lotte World is a Amusement park)
 * Herim's Narrative Writing-

Of course, every mom wants to take good care of her own child. But kids actually don't think that their mothers are taking care of them and kids run away from their parents and they get lost. They just ignore and their parents think it's because they are too young to understand. Even though they could understand, they just ignore the parents and just listen to what friends are saying. My mom and I were lost in Lotte World because of the strange elevator and my best friend. When I was 6, I went to the field trip to Lotte World. I was late for the field trip bus so my mom needed to drive me to the Lotte World. I felt strange feeling on the day of field trip because my mom never woke up late but she woke up late on that day. And I felt something was going to happen. As soon as we arrived, I had to have breakfast with a roll of kimbab and I had to pretend to eat. After breakfast, my mom called my kindergarten teacher and asked her where all the kids are. Fortunately, she said they are in the ticket booth waiting for me. So my mom and I took the elevator together. My mom met her friend there so we couldn’t go on my field trip right away and stayed in the café instead. My mom said it’s too late for me to go to the field trip. But I really wanted to go and I asked my mom to call the teacher if it is okay to be late. The teacher said it is okay to be late so I could join them. After the call, we had to take the elevator that is connected to the Lotte World. In the elevator, there was my best friend and she asked if it is okay to go to the bathroom with me. Ann I answered I would. I asked my mom for the permission. She said “Yes”. So got off from the elevator and we went to the bathroom. After we went to the washroom, my best friend said there is something to show me. She told me to follow her. I knew that it was an improper thing to do but she said it won’t take long so I followed her. For 2 seconds, I felt that I should go back when I heard my mom’s voice. I asked my friend to go back but we were totally lost. I just yelled at my friend and started to find my mom. But there are no ways to find her. I was crying with my friend and one woman asked me why we were crying. So we answered we are totally lost and I asked her if I can borrow her phone to call my mom. I thank to my my mom that we taught me to memorize her phone number. Therefore, I called my mom with one nice woman. She was very nice and she told my mom where we are. After 5 minutes, my mom came to us and she said to the woman thank you. My mom was little mad but she said it’s okay because we met. By the time the field trip was over, we decided to just ignore the field trip and play in Lotte World. My mom and I had a lot of fun and interesting things but it was really tired field trip that I have ever had in my life.**

Final Draft Herim Lee October 6th 2009 English 6B __Think back to when you were little and had a favorite toy. Explain why you liked this particular toy.__

My favorite toy was toy dog made with wood. It wasn’t soft as real dog, but it was pretty than a real dog. My toy were almost made in America, but this toy wasn't made in Germany, so it was so special to myself. The cause that it is my favorite toy is because my grandfather bought it for me and also it was limited edition in the world. So only few people has the same toy.

The toy was really hard as rock and it was dangerous to new born baby like me. If I bite the toy it’s like biting Twilight hard cover book. It looked like the dog from the movie Toy story(the cute dog^^) My toy had name and his name was Choo. I don’t know why I made his name Choo maybe it’s because when I pull the dog it sounds like Choo. (He had wheels)

Choo was my favorite toy but not to other kids. when I brought Choo to playground kids were hating him and made me outsider about that I brought weird toy. Also my cousin didn’t liked and he really threw my Choo. Luckily my dad was standing where my cousin threw Choo. He was unbroken. My grandfather was angry so he talk too my cousin.

Unfortunately, after I grew up Choo was gone. He was broken by my maid in Canada, Campbell River. The maid was fired by me and she paid my family $2500. In the night I was crying for whole night. I believed Choo was in heaven and from I do believe it. ^^

I had so many favorite toys but Choo was my favorite toy when I was little. I hope Choo is in heaven! (and I believe that is is true!) Choo was my lovely favorite outstanding toy for me. I don’t care it is hard as rock. But I care it was my favorite toy.My mom thinks that I’m childish. She is saying “How come if you get older you are getting younger?” to me and my dad is saying, “ When I was young, I was like Juicy!(my parents are calling me Juicy^^)Do you think I’m childish? Help me out!!^^
