 * Are community services prerequisite? Even though they may not be required, you should stand up from the crowd and help other people in need. The bad news is, no one in reality stands upon themselves, and runs to help the poor. Maybe you have done a few, due to some community service program or just to earn some kind of profit, or simply called, money. That’s the whole reason why community service should be a requirement for graduation from high school because they get active in the community, learn important ethics for life, and to learn about the society within the world.

It's obviously necessary that you need to be an important part of the community you live in. You need to be somewhat active in your society, and the best way to show that to the audiences are by serving the community. Most of the current day high schoolers spend their leisure time just fooling around or playing games. However in that same amount of time, you can walk out and help the people in need. Another benefit would be actually exercising, and lessening your chance of obesity. If high schools do not require community service for graduation, it's clear that most of them wouldn't even care about the actual community they're living in. **

THE END__

Dear S.O., Welcome to my break-up letter. I would regret writing this letter, but it's our best solution. We only say "hi" to each other and we don't actually talk together. As there are more than one way to skin a cat, I think the best way is to break-up our relationship. I'm not your best partner for your school life, and it was a difficult decision for me, obviously. It's all more than what meets the eye, you may think this as cruel and depressing but it was my only answer.

Homework Due February 9th, 2010- Crispin Ch. 32~35 Summary After the heart-thumping adventure through Lodgecot village, Crispin and Bear start to have much more conversations then before- much more comfortable in their relationship. They enter Great Wexly's gate being aware of other securities, Crispin is unnoticed. Crispin is amazed at the wonders of this town. There's swan-white bread, meat, many shops, bustling people. Then Bear eventually heads off to the Green Man's Tavern. There is a huge woman, and the author doesn't explain about the woman very much. Strangely, she knows more of Bear's business than Crispin. I personally got hooked up in the last section, where I was starting to actually be in the situation.

This song had a special aspect, due to the fact that the singer's own voice is quite "squeaky". I would give a 5 because his voice was obsessed with the girl he used to love, and he wants to go back. I felt a strong impression from his special voice.
 * 1) 1 Right Now (Na Na Na)- AKON

This song was 80% instrumental, giving a soft, smooth melody overall. The voices of the singers were quiet empty, where they had no special voice. Also, they didn't have any characteristic that stands out in their voice. I would give a 4 because the lyrics weren't that effective, the whole song was pretty much relying on the melody.
 * 1) 2 80's Joint- Kelis

This singer had a strong voice on love. He was giving repeated phrases saying that only one "you" can make him fall in love. David Archuleta was different from other artists, as he had a passionate voice over the whole song. I would give him a 5.

That man also included a characteristic of being cruel and placing Crispin as his servant. However currently, the two "friends" learn about themselves and discover new experiences. Now Crispin is much more comfortable in front of Bear, even though he's actually Bear's servant.

//Vocabularies from Chapter 7...// Life changes as you live. Does it? It was another Monday in the year 2,342, the year of terror in Eastern Asia; everyone's time of curfew decreased to 7 P.M. All the students weren't going to school, their skittish faces turning upside down each time they meet their last moment of their ending life. Terrorists were kidnapping and murdering pure children, all victims were convicted of treason, getting no allowance from the country. Moots held in the government all ended up with them all leaving the world, dead. Terrorists were growing and spreading all over Eastern Asia, each and every adult taking a plight risk going out on the street. All citizens wrote petitions to the government and the United Nations. The government eventually gave up on supporting the people, rather committing suicides to prevent the pain. The future was dark, and human history seemed to come to an end. The U.S. and Europe gave a hand for Eastern Asia, but the terrorists' power overwhelmed the government. Bye, world.

1. It simply symbolizes "hope", or even a hand of help from Crispin's mother. The lead cross gave hope for Crispin to survive until this spot. 2. It will be an external conflict, where Crispin hides from John Aycliffe and the other man. If this was an internal conflict, only Crispin would be involved in this whole struggle. 3. Of course, Crispin in the title of the book, and the book follows the adventure within Crispin, the main character. 4. One primary antagonist would be roughly said to be the steward. The steward thought that Crispin stole his money, and the steward hunts Crispin down the whole section of the book. 5. One theme could be "never give up". Even though Crispin grew up in a poor atmosphere, and a rough life, he never gave up on his hope (with his lead cross). As a result he met Bear, whom you can say that he practically saved Crispin. 6. This literary element is called a climax. Even though it is not the climax of the whole book, this scene represents a climax. 7. The reader gets involved in the scene, and they might think that Father Quinel eventually betrayed Crispin. This literary element where Crispin worries inside himself would be an internal conflict. 8. The novel takes place in the time period of the Black Death, where extremely many people around the world died (1350). It shows the terrible situation Crispin is in.

Homework Due December 4th, 2009- Ch. 23~30- 10 Sentence Summary Crispin is slowly getting better and better by practicing with Bear. Even though bear was strict and went mad in the village, they play music together. Crispin starts to have a feeling that he found out where is was going and was playing the "recorder" with Bear. With music and Bear, he was at least "someone" that had musical skills and joy. After all those improvements with Bear's teachings, Crispin urgently shows Bear the Cross of Lead. As Bear reads it, he doesn't tell Crispin what was written there. Then they travel to Lodgecot, also dancing, juggling, and earning some profits. As time passes with Crispin and Bear, more people come together (enjoy the show together). Overall, I personally think that Crispin is getting along with Bear quite fairly, except for the suspicious part when Bear reads the cross and doesn't say anything. Will Crispin survive the tortured, perhaps, life with Bear?

Answer Questions on Page 25- **1. What advice would you have given the mother and daughter?** I would first advise the mother, for being a bit "forced" on the daughter. The mother should basically understand her own daughter, and realize what's just right for her own life. This also counts for the daughter, she could've been more obedient to her only mother, at least listening to her thoughts.
 * 2. In what ways can parents' hopes and expectations help children to create their own identities?** Is is true that all children in the world has their own speciality and identity for the world. However, the parents' expectations about the child might be too tremendous, causing some problems. Both of the thoughts should match in order to succeed.
 * 4. List the ways in which the mother tries to make her daughter into a prodigy.** The mother tried her best for her daughter to become a genius. She even collected magazines and other sources about other "prodigies". She wished for her daughter to become a genius pianist, making the daughter practice the piano.
 * 5. Describe what happens at the talent show.** In the talent show, a bizarre scene occurs. The daughter plays the piano incorrectly, playing the piece with wrong notes.
 * 6. After the show, what occurs when the mother forces the daughter to practice?** Finally, the daughter shows rebellion to the mother's forces, opposing to the "thoughtful" mother. There is a huge conflict with the daughter's own thoughts and the separate mother's.
 * 7. How does the mother surprise the daughter years later?** The mother actually gives the daughter the piano back.
 * 8. What does the daughter finally discover about the piano piece she had played at the recital?** The song that she played in the talent show was actually two parts, and somehow the music described her life.
 * 9. What do the daughter's failures on the nightly tests reveal about her abilities?** She isn't that special from other normal people, but she could try a bit harder.
 * 10. Compare and contrast the daughter's use of the word prodigy with her mother's.** The daughter thinks of the word "prodigy" as something so great and a complete genius- someone that's never like her. On the other hand, the mother thinks that the daughter is actually fit for a prodigy, thinking that the word itself is easy.
 * 11. In the argument after the recital, why do the daughter's final words have such a powerful effect on her mother?** I personally think that the mother tried her best to make her own daughter a proud prodigy. However, the daughter's reply on that message was quite powerful- she even mentioned the other dead babies, making the conversation depressing.
 * 12. What have the mother and daughter learned from their conflict?** I guess that they both learned to accept what other people appreciate in their own terms of life. The mother learned that sometimes, a person can never be something.
 * 13. Do you agree with the daughter's statement that people can't be anything they want to be? Why or why not?** I disagree in terms of hope and dreams for each minds. If they want to be something for sure, they will try their best to achieve their goals- including sacrifices of themselves. Miracles always happen.
 * 14. What does this story suggest about differences between some immigrant parents and their American-born children?** First of all, the cultures are basically different form those Chinese immigrant parents and the American children. The children will think all about peace, and eventually do what they intend to do. However, most Chinese and asian parents want their children to be perfected, with the intelligence of a simple prodigy.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">**Classwork 8/17: The Cat Who Thought She Was a Dog**

All of the goods, or the "doodads", were similar because they were all basically shiny little accessories, such as rings and earrings.
 * 1. What is similar about all the goods that the peddler shows Marianna?**

Well, the mirror was actually the turning point of their thoughts, the new "them" inside. Before they didn't care about the appearances, and did what they had to do. However, now with all the animals and people in the family noticing their ugliness, they all now know the new ones inside them, and the animals even thought that the mirror was showing another animal. In conclusion, everyone was shocked at the strange object, and they realized a stranger inside them, which is actually themselves.
 * 2. In what ways does the mirror, a strange new object, cause the humans and the animals to become strangers to themselves?**

First, the reactions are quite funny and interesting, because they never knew how they looked like, and everyone was surprised at their "ugly" faces. On the other hand, the whole event is depressing, since they didn't have enough money to even look at their own faces, and the descriptions of their faces were shocking.
 * 3. Why are the characters’ reactions to the mirror both funny and sad?**

Personally I think it might happen, if both of them were raised together, and they never saw their own species, only the other one. The two animals would keep looking at the other one, just simply thinking that they look like the one they're always looking at. However if it was to us human, and we never had a mirror, we would still know that we are ourselves, since we can look at our body not using the mirror.
 * 4. Could a cat think it’s a dog and vice versa? Support your opinion.**

Well, it's not impossible to live without a mirror because we can still survive with food, water, shelter, and other necessary needs. However it would still be better if we have it, since we need to know how we look like, and a mirror can be useful in other different ways.
 * 5. Would it be possible for our society to do without mirrors? Explain.**
