Sarah+P's+journal

In the novel, Juan's life and his expectations of success change. In your journal, write a paragraph in which you define success in your own life. Explain why you define success as you do. To me, success is studying without getting distracted by Facebook, iChat, friends, etc. If I don't do that, I would be proud. I feel guilty and bad when I do things like iChat and Facebook while doing homework or studying. It slows me down and I don't know why I do it or how I started. **

Write an obituary using: You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar Bend over backwards
 * Classwork March 3rd, 2010**

Person Kim, 100. Died September, 2020.

He died on a Sunday at 9:03 pm.

He was a good writer, a good reader, and he was very good at basketball. However, he didn't know that you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. That is why he only had two friends until he was 20. He lived his life well; he knew he would die because he was very old.

Many people attended his memorial service. He was a grumpy old man, but everyone loved him anyway. He would be nice in a not so showy way. He bent over backwards many times to help people.

__Justyn__ baked Joonyon a delicious cake.

Idioms: Once in a blue moon- rarely. On top of the world- everything is going well for you. **My Lunar break:** During the lunar new year break, I didn't do that many things. Well first of all, my cousin came over to my house and slept over. We went to stores and my grandparent's house. Also, I thought my dog was really big, but some lady visited our house and brought two huuuuugeeeee dogs. My dog meets other dogs once in a blue moon- really. During the break, I finished all of my homework early so I didn't have to do anything. I could just hang around-- i was on top of the world.
