Ichiro on Ichiro p151~202

On this chapter Ichiro talks about his "on and off" time in season and off season.First, in season he has own time. This mean is every day he has been doing same things, it calls routine. He every time wake up same time, eat lunch same time, and start to practice baseball same time. The improvement order is also all the same, and it doesn't change, and it never makes a mistake in order. This is on in his dairy style. At the off day of his season, he really wants to be with his dog Ikkyu and wife Yumiko, because he didnt have any kids so Ikkyu is a kind of his kids that's why he want's to be with. At the off day, after he wake up, he goes for a walk with Ikkyu without fail after it gets up in the morning, and drink coffee at the starbacks on his walk cource in Isaqua, after that he go buck to home and eat lunch. Also, this lunch is always curry, every day every year his lunch is curry, so Ichiro respect Yumiko because she can make every day same tastes he likes. Curry can change humun's brain to more creative to do something. This is his off in season.

I think he has really good mind. This style make his good score in Major League Baseball and his human nature. If he didn't do like this, I think he couldn't make good score in Major League Baseball. Also, his dog Ikkyu and wife Yumiko helps him a lot for his relaxization. However, as I one of the fun on him, waiting for his children, because I really want to see his jr to play baseball. I think why Ichiro doesn't makes children because, he want's to keep atention for baseball. Moreover, I amazed about he every day eat same lunch I think this is good way to keep own health. However, I cannot mimic it. Anyway, this routine keep his life, I hope he can play in Major more and more, so this routine is really important for him. Thus I think this on and off is good way to control his tention and make good score in Major.

Fianlly, the story is so exciting than before. Actually, untill now, the story is a little bit boring to read. It maks me so tired. However, as story developes, I'm really excited with reading this book. Especially, a real love story starts. Most women like a romance and love story. We always dream that falling in love with someone who is very handsome, rich, wonderful guy. However, I think Jane can't get her love easily. Also, I expect that a nest story. Who fires at house intentionally?

The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 181-241

Six habit is that 'SYNERGIZE' He said synergy has four things such as celebrating differences, teamwork,open-mindedness and finding new and better ways. On the other hand he said that not synergy is that such as tolerating differences, working independently, thinking you're always right and compromise. He said teamwork and synergy is very important. great teams usually mad up of five or more different types of people, and each member are playing different but important role. Also, he said plodders, followers, innovators, harmonizers and show-offs. plodders are stick to a job until it's done. Followers are very supportive of leaders. If they hear a great idea, they can run with it. Innovators are the creative, idea people. They offer the sparks. Harmonizers are they provide unity and support and are great synergizers as they work with others and encourage cooperation. Show-off is last thing of team work. show off is fun to work with, they can be tough at times. They often add the spice and momentum needed to bring the team over all success.




My opinion is that i think this assignment is very good for me because i learned many good habits from this book. Therefore, I will study very hard in the U.S and try to change my behavior. Actually, I left almost 100 pages, but i will try to finish this book for my future and life. I think habit 6 part is very useful becaucse i think that team work is very important part to everything. If i work in society, this habit will be good. Therefore, i really thank for your assignment Mike. Thank you

Girls in Pants_ The Third Summer of Sisterhood- Ann Brashares (p.151~p.210)

Bee had some problems about her team, her soccer camp, and Eric. It made her couldn't sleep too much. She tried to make Eric take notice of her feeling and her doing. Actually, he didn't and he made Bee be sad because of his girlfriend. Bee hadn't known that Eric had a girlfriend. She always hoped that she and Eric could have a relationship or something likes that. She was disapointed.

When Lena got back home, her father was angry because he hadn't seen her at the restaurant. This dinner was quiet, her father thought that she lied to them. He talked about an artist and why he didn't want his daughter does it. He declared that he would pay for a regular university, but he wouldn't pay for an art university.

Carmen told her mom that she didn't ready to leave home, wanted to go to William not University of Maryland and she wanted to stay here until the baby was birth. Actually, her mom wanted her stay here with her, her husband and the baby, too.

Tibby felt asleep at the movie theater and she had seen this movie 14 times, but she felt asleep all those times. Tibby had gotten accepted to NYU, but she was imagining and thinking about something else.

Bee was had a partner- Eric by accident in the rest of the soccer camp. She wanted to change partner, so she asked Joe, but he just accept with a good reason. Joe told her that everyone always wants to change at first and he believed that she would be fine.




In my opinion, I think Lena can do everything that she wants if she explains with her parents. Carmen can stay at home until the baby is born, she can help her mom to take care the baby and goes to William. My book still have 128 papers left, so i'll finish this book in my summer vacation and go to the movie theater to see Sisterhood by the Traveling Pants 2. Thanks Mike to give us this blog and teach us this quarter. I'm glad to have a teacher like you.

i read 2 chapters because we should read 200 pages in this quarter. this story is getting fun. last blog i wrote covers a kind of introduction, but these chapters just cover an intersting part of this book. so, i can read 2 chapters. This book is pretty cool that attracted me to read it, besides, i love a book that talks about defying terroism. Although the book seemed to have a stereotypical plot line and theme, it was interesting and developed the story in a very unique way. The main character in the book was described as a cool and collective individual carrying a background filled with experience and intelligence, the perfect man to handle this kind of situation. thank you.

Charlotte's Web p1-p21

she felt said about it. So she stoped her father to kill the pig. Her father ask her to raise the big

the gate's door is loose. So Wilbur listened to the goose, he opened the door and went out.

But Fern's aunt find Wilbur tried to run away. So her aunt called her uncle to catch Wilbur.

my opinion:

Even though this book is very famous, I never read it before. After I read it, I started believe

there are love between human and animals. in fact, I really love dogs. But when I watch Tv,

I can always see the news about people ause animals. That make me feel angry and sad. Why

human can be so cruel? These animals didn't do anything wrong.People abuse them just because

they think that is fun. I think even though you don't like animals, you can't abuse them. I read

a news on the newspaper. That's talk about a dog was abandon by his master. He still wait there

and wait for his master to pick him up. They believe their master so much, but their master just

abandon them like that. I really feel angry about that. Because I think have my dog is one of the

happiest thing in my life. We don't have any right to abuse or abandon them.

The borrowers p113-p180

Pod found that Arrietty was talked to the boy. Pod was very angry about that. Arrietty tried to

explain to Pod. Homily also felt very angry about what Arrietty did. Arrietty said everything

happened between she and the boy to her parents. Her parent said that they need to move.

Arrietty was so sad about that. Then the boy showed up , and talked to Pod. First time , Pod

didn't like the boy. But the boy bring them a lot of thing which Homily like very much.

After that, they started to think that the boy is a good person. The boy always bring them some

furniture, such as doll's chair , table and closet. The boy gave them to much furniture that they

couldn't put these furnture in their house. One day, Mrs. Driver found the hole that the bowwers

live. She told her husband there are some thief live in their house. But her huaband didn't

believe that. He think these stuff was stolen by the cat.Mrs. Driver still believe there are some

little thief live in their house. The boy heard what Mrs.Driver said to her husband . He was very

scare about that . Mrs. Driver took some good thing that hide in the hole, but she didn't talk to

the boy.Next day, the boy went to the hole and looked for the borrower family. The boy promise

to the borrower family to help them find a safe place to live. When he tried to help them to

move, Mrs. Driver found it. She was so angry about that. She locked the boy in his room, and

tried to raise a cat to catch the borrowers. But they didn't successed. The borrowers family still

escape.

People always hatew something they think is strange or unusual. When they found something

they can't accept, they just refuse it.We always use unusual eyesight to see some people, such as

disability people. When I was in the junior high school, I have a classmate who is a disability

people. Some of my classmates think he is so strange when he walk, so they always laugh at him.

That make the boy felt he is not part of us, so he didn't want to come to school. I think that is a

very bad thing. Even though he is a disability people, doesn't mean he is different from us.

Sometimes we do something can really hurt people very hard. But some people never think

this is a big deal. That is very bad. I think we need always care other people's mind, we

can't be so ego.
