1. At the end of chapter 10, Juan reflects: //'So we returned, and my life from that moment grew broader and happier and I became a better person, I think, for Bartolome had turned my mind away from small preoccupations, and led it into paths of Truth.'//
 * CW Friday, May 27th:**

What do you think he means by this statement? Why is Truth in capital letters?

Juan knew how to draw. He felt uncomfortable about the fact because slaves were not suppose to draw. So, he confessed to Bartolomé Murillo. After he confessed, he was happier because he does not have any secrets that he needs to hide from everybody else. I think Truth is in capital letters because (in his opinion) painting is not a sin anymore because he is not hiding the fact from anyone

The first reason why the homework should be eliminated is that any kind of work should be done in school. School is the right place to work. Any kind of homework that we do should be completed in school only. At home, students can study, read books, or go to exercise. A lot's of students get really tired every day because of the homework assigned. After they've gone through their schedule of the day, they have to work on their homework. Also, if they are unlucky, they might have a test the next day and have to study real hard for that to. If we don't have a homework. Our daily schedules and studying will be much more easier.

1. Write/post your first paragraph of persuasive essay.
 * HW due March 30th:**

Many students won't want any assignment. Homework assignments tires them and give them stress. We can do something more active at homes, instead of completing those assignments. Class time should be the only time that students should work. At home, students can study, sports, or anything else rather than doing homework. Class time should be the time that we do our 'homework'. So, we need to have enough time in class so we can finish our work in time because many homework assignments are given when students didn't manages to finish their work at class time. Homework should be eliminated because home is not school.

I have some bad memories of my childhood. Especially with my younger sister. Even thought she was young, she almost 'murdered' me. I still have the scar on my forehead. Another one of my bad memory is that I was in the bathroom ready to 'pee' but instead of normal urine, a blood-filled urine was in the toilet. I screamed and according to my mom, I fainted and I was carried off to Samsung Hospital and got a surgery. Those two events all occurred in one year. But I have some good memories too the sad part is, I don't have a very good memory about my 'good' memories. The only thing I can remember is that I went to Jeju Island.



I will never, ever trust my younger sister again. Even though she was young (4 years old), she almost murdered me with her shoes. After finishing her banana, she left the peels on the ground. I never saw it. She went down the slide but I stepped on the peel, slipped, and went crashing down and I injured my forehead
