 * warm-up: 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.**

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 Monday, May 31st:

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

I think that the word truth is in ccapital letters because Juan thought that he couldn't say what he wants to say, because he is a slave. So this sentence might mean that Juan is happy that slaves could also get permission and do what they want, and that it was nice meeting Bartolome because Bartolome was the one person who led Juan to truth. **

My paragraph** Smoking harms the bodies of the smoker him/herself, but also many other people. Do you smoke? If you do, why do you smoke? Wanting to look cool, or is it addictive?If it is because of style or There are various ways of being cool. Do you want to harm your heart, because of ..style?!

Nonsmokers have the complete right to cover their mouth because of the bad air the smokers are smoking(or because of their bad breath). At least covering their mouth with their hand would prevent them just a little bit from second hand smoke. Sometimes, people also walk away from smokers because of bad air. Okay, if you are a smoker, do you want to harm other people's bodies as well? Because if you don't you better stop now. Second hand smoking is even worse than first hand smoke.

If you are a parent and have young children that walk around the house, you should be aware of yourself. First hand smoke is just smoking (one person), and second hand smoking is when bad air goes into other people's bodies around you. Second hand smoke is worse than first hand smoke, because the people around you are smoking the air that you just breathed in. And also, if you smoke, your teeth will become yellow, and also your breath would be dreadfully stinky, and your heart will be damaged.

Teeth are pretty when they are white, not yellow. If you smoke because of style, for your information, it isn't that pleasant to see yellow teeth. Bad breath is not fragrant either. Smoking causes a high possibility that the person who smokes will have cancer, and cancer sometimes causes death. There is an estimation of how many people will die because of smoking in 2015 is about 6.5 million people, and 8.5 million in 2030. Every 6.5 seconds, a smoker dies around the world. Scary.

Non smokers have many rights to do what ever they think would prevent them from second hand smoke. Second hand smoke is even worse than first hand smoke. Even if you don't care about your body, at least think of other peoples bodies getting hurt because of the bad air the cigarette is making. Remember, white teeth are better than yellow :)

 * First Paragraph of Persuasive Essay

19. Considering the rights of non-smokers, write an essay about whether smoking should or should not be permitted in public places. Convince your reader of your position.

Smoking harms the bodies of the smoker him/herself, but also many other people. Do you smoke? If you do, why do you smoke? Wanting to look cool, or is it addictive?If it is because of style or There are various ways of being cool. Do you want to harm your heart, because of ..style?!

Nonsmokers have the complete right to cover their mouth because of the bad air the smokers are smoking. At least covering their mouth with their hand would prevent them just a little bit from second hand smoke. Okay, if you are a smoker, do you want to harm other people's bodies as well? Because if you don't you better stop now. Second hand smoking is even worse than first hand smoke. Second, first smoke Smoking doesn't only harm one person. **

10. Should your school require uniforms? Convince your reader why or why not uniforms should or should not be required in your school. 

KIS would look neat if students wear uniforms. But another reason that I want to recommend KIS to require uniforms are because in my opinion students who attend international schools feel that students in Korean schools are lucky, because of uniforms. From now, if we don't have uniforms, Students from middle school to highschool wouldn't be able to wear uniforms. Students who attend KIS get stress of what to wear and how to wear. It would be nice if we could just buy 2 of the uniforms and then just wear one on one day, and put one in the washing machine. It would definitely be nice^^

KIS should require uniforms because students wouldn't be able to wear them afterwards.

HOmework for Feb. 3rd __Many teachers don't let students more days to study for an unprepared tests or quizzes, but I think that they should first hear the excuses.__It was a Saturday when bad happened. On Saturday my head was slowly beginning to hurt. The pain was coming up to my head, and got a horrible head ache. When my mom came back from home, I told her what happened and soon she got suspicious. We went to the best hospital of Seoul. Thats when it came to me.
 * 1. [BEING UNPREPARED]**

The nurse gave me a mask and told me, "Don't go to school for seven days. And stay away from people. You got the swine flu." My temperature went up to 41.8 degrees. I couldn't move, study, or do anything because if I moved, my head would hurt really really bad. If I stood, I could feel my blood go up my head. All I thought was that I should lie down. I slept for 14 hours.

Thankfully (?) when I got hurt, it was a break. For me, it was bad. But for my body, it was good. Next time when I get hurt I want to get hurt in a school day. I didn't know what to do, because if I did something every single part of my body would start to hurt and get tired and sleepy. All I could do was look at the blocks for Monday.

My eyes got bigger, my body was wide awake. 'Monday- Science test' Wow.... Science is my weakest block and I didn't even study. When I thought about it it was there days ago, and I just completely had my mind off of it. I thought in my head while I was swearing to myself 'Why didn't you study before the weekends?! Now I'm going to fail...'

So when it was the d-day I of course was panicked but told myself that I can do better next time. Do double times better. Duh, I failed but was so depressed that I knew that I should do 2 times better on the next test. I learned a new lesson. Always study for a test starting before 4 days. Wish me luck for the next science tests~

plot::: I had a time few months ago, not very long ago, where I got the swine flu and couldn't study or move or do anything. The reason wasn't because I had the flu, it was because my temperature went up to 41.8 degrees. But the teacher said that it was posted on the wiki few days ago, so I could've studied it. I couldn't say anything about it, so I just took the test, and practically failed it.

Dear Lina Yang,

I had to tell Jessica today in english class no skin off your nose. It was because Jessica was saying that she got a 95 on math, and she wasn't pleased with it.

This semester I should study more of each subject to get a better grade than the semester before. Studying isn't no skin off your nose, so do better next time :) zzzz

There are many opinions if friends are important. You’d probably already think of a lot. But sometimes, there are good and bad friends. Well, bad friends aren’t really friends, so they are just people that you know. Good people are people who care for other people and think of what they would feel if I were them. In other hand, bad people are people who do stuff like talking behind backs to get popular. The reason that I can write well is because I am thinking of some people in my head. There are good and bad friends, but all of them need friends because they need love. Maybe not just love, but being cared, someone to talk to, trust worthy, etc. And there are one kind of people who are like that: good people :) You need someone to talk to, of any gender, that will make you have easier feelings after you talk with he/she. That person shouldn’t be thinking that you are annoying and that he/she is too busy for you. If you think that this isn’t the right person, you are right. You should talk to a person that you are comfortable with, and that the person that you think is interested to help and give you a hand.

I have experienced before that I think almost every one has. Being a outsider. If you look in the dictionary for its definition it means that it is a person who doesn’t get accepted or does not belong to any group of people. You feel sad and lonely and you get mad at yourself by regretting. If you are reading this situation and you think your stuck in this situation, just keep in mind that it will get better. As time goes by, you will eventually get along with friends. Just try to make friends, until some really good people accept you. The harder you try, the better things will work out :)

Good friends will give you trust even though you don’t look for it. During your school life you will have a lot of bad time with trouble and friend fights. A good friend will appear during those times that you never thought of before. Thats how you will become good friends. Then, you will think of them as trustworthy, perfect friends.
