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?

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.

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

Fern is a little girl who lives in the farm. When she knew her father are going to kill the little pig,

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

that she can understand how difficult to raise a weak pig. Fern was so happy about that. She

took care of the pig everyday, and gave him a name "Wilbur". After she had Wilbur, she played

with Wilbur everyday. Wilbur liked to follow Fern everywhere . But one day, Fern's father told

her that they need to sell Wilbur. Fern didn't want her parents to sell Wilbur, so she sell Waibur

to her uncle. Then she can go to visit Wilbur everyday. Her uncle bought Wilbur and put him in

the gate. Fern went to visit Wilbur everyday. One day, Fern didn't come to visit Wilbur,so

Wilbur felt very bored. But he can't go anywhere. Then the goose him that he can run because

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.

Ichiro on Ichiro P96~151

This chapter wrote about why he chose play in Major League Baseball, and that's because hewas taking away the leading hitter 7 years in a row and he has it if there is no players who could much with him in Japan any longer at that time. Also, he was expecting to play baseball with a great players, such as Cal Ripken, Jr., Mike Piazza, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Brady Anderson, Pedro Martinez, and Pat Hentgen. However, it is thought that the almost everyone thought he went to the United States because it can get a lot of money. But it was wrong, he just wants play more higher level in America. That's the reason why, he wants play baseball in Majors.

I really understand his mind. That's because if I play baseball like him I also chose play in Major League Baseball. Major League Baseball is highest place to play baseball in the world, people are looking to play baseball from many countries so if I play in Major, I can much many good players. Moreover, I think his reason is wonderful because inside where it is chosen that the great number of people play baseball by the reason that a lot of money can be gotten in the Major League Baseball, but his reason was different. Thats why I really like him. It is respectable the baseball player it formerly as the person. Therefore, I can understand his mind.

Jane Eyre By,Charlotte Bronte page. 126-176

Jane has been wating for a long time at the George Inn at Millcote because there is no one to pick her up. Just as she is becoming worried about it, someone arrives at there. She gets there.
She has never received this kind of concern since she was born. There are many people including Mrs. Fairfax, Mr. Rochester, Adèle, her new pupil, who was adopted by Mr. Rochester and Grace People who sound strange.
Several months pass, Jane is walking through a field of Thornfield. When she watches the moon rising, a horse is coming up the lane. A man who is injured is on the horse. The man is with the horse which is also injured and a large dog. She cures them who were damaged seriously. After she returns to the home, she finds out the man is an owner of Thornfield, Mr. Rochester. Life is changed following Mr. Rochester's arrival. The home is filled with a new voice which is better than the past. One day, she is called to Mr. Rochester for test of requirement. While she is playing the piano, he is impressed by her drawing.
Mrs. Fairfax tells Jane about Edward Rochester. His father and his brother plotted him, so he was forced into a painful position. Edward broke away from his family. However, nine years ago, his brother died. He was returnde to Thornfield and inherited the property.


As she gets her job, she can feel comfortable and calm. Also, she realizes that everyone in Thornfield welcomes her. Especially, I expect that Mr. Rochester and Jane will love each other. Finally, the love is started. I hope Jane's affliction heals with this love. However, there will be an obstacle that is harmful in their love, so I 'm worried about that. Also, Mr. Rochester has an affliction in the past, so they can care each other's pain. Nevertheless, Mr.Rochester likes her, she can't realize. I was really disappointed with that fact. If most of mordern women were in Jane's case, they would be active, not as same as Jane. This is a difference between mordern and past in women's way of thinking.

The christmas blessing by Donna Vanliere p.131-212

Next day, Nathan knew Meghan was in hospital, so he visited at her room. They talked together very fun. Nathan has beeper and his beeper was rang, but he didn't pick up because he wanted to talk to Meghan for long time. Then he had to go, and Meghan asked would him come back later? then he remember her smile, and he always thought about that all day. He thought her tastes was very mature. She like the old movie, old music. And she talked about the old movie his mother was really like it. Meghan said that she wanted to practice with some one better than her. She liked to practice with Dr. Goetz. That was a really wonderful day for Nathan. In the evening, Nathan brought the CD of a singer she was really like. And he asked her to dance with him. That was a wonderful night of them. After few days, Meghan could go home.
Nathan asked Dr. Goezt that have him want to quit when he is a doctor? And he said, he used to want to get out 18 years ago, so Nathan was very shock. Because he think Dr. Goezt was very hard. Dr. said that he couldn't stand with sad and tired. But after that everything was made him come back the hospital. Although doctor had to work during the sad time or tired day, but they have to work because of their patients. He wonder how can he get out even children were very scare.
Meghan and Nathan was dating. It was very nature, he thought Meghan was very interested him. At that night, Meghan told him that he could kiss her if he wants. Then Nathan kissed and huged her and he forgot everything. That was very romantic. Few days later, Meghan was running, and Nathan came to see her. Meghan was a first person finished. He picked her up and hung out with her. Meghan said that she want to fall in love, and she said she was sure she already have. She implied to tell him that she love him. He knew that and he thought he would told her later. At Thanksgiving night, Nathan took her go his home, and introduced her with his family. His family was very like her.
Some day before Christmas, she was sick. And she was hospitalized, she was very sick. When doctor checked her health, they told her that she was hepatitis A, B or C. Her health was very serious, and she has to have transplant sugery as soon as posible. Next morning, Nathan knew that, and he was very upset. However she said Christmas will have some special thing. But he didn't think that. He was very upset, he was worried that Meghan would died. At the Christmas day, he said he really love her. And he gave her a gift. During Christmas, Nathan always stayed with Meghan in the hospital. Then Charlie died at the day during Christmas. when Meghan stayed in surgery, doctor took the liver of Charlie, then used that for Meghan. She became very healthy. After that, she gave the name of the donation is Charlie Benetti scholarship run. The race get over $100.000.
Nathan became a doctor for children. Some children were died at the same age of Charlie. However he understood "how long you lived but how you live".

My opinion:
After the story, I think how long people can live, and how can people become a good person. Nathan was won by himself when he can stand in the death of Charlie. And he can feel his heart was ready to be a doctor. He was stronger, and he understood how can he help another people. Meghan was a good girl, although she was a teenager but her mind was not immature. She can feel what ever the adult feel. She always to be strong during she was very sick. She didn't care about her self, she always think for others people. Dr. Goezt was a good doctor, he has a deep heart. He tried to explain for Nathan to understand the life. During the time Meghan was sick, and she became better, he believe about miracle. Before, he thought God was got his mom on the Christmas, but now he believed that God was helped his mom out of the hurt as soon as she can. I really like this story, I was not believed we have miracle, but now it can be somewhere with someone. I'm done with this book.

The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 161-180)

From 161 to 180 pages are fifth habits. 5 habit is ' SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO TO BE UNDERSTOOD.' He said 'Five Poor Listening Styles' such as spacing out, pretend listening, selective listening, word listening and self-centered listening. Spacing out is when someone is talking to us but we ignore them because our mind is wandering off in another galaxy. It means 'out of it." Pretend listening is more common. such as "yeah" "uh-huh" "cool" "sounds great" the speaker usually get the hint and feel that he or she is not important enough to be heard. selective listening is we pay attention to the only one part of intersting things.
Word listening is when we pay attention to someone, we only listen only to the words. such as "What do you think of Ronaldo?" you might say "he is cool",but if you have more sensitive, you might think to question "do you think Ronaldo likes me?" It is not good. Last thing is Self-centered listening. It is point of view. is is from our point of view.


My opinion: I think this part is shorter than other parts. Therefore it was hard to understand to me. However, Five poor listening styles were very good for me because i think my listening styles are very bad, so i want to change my listening styles. I think word listening styles is very important because it is realted to second laguage. When i came here, l heard just some words becuase i couldn't hear and understand everything. However, now, i can understand more words. However, i usually hear just some word. Therefore, i will change my habit.

The borrowers P71-P113

Arrietty went to borrow with her father . After a while, a boy seen her. The boy who had seen

her father last time. First time, Arrietty had a little scare. But she found that boy didn't want to

hurt her. Then, she started to talk with the boy. She told the boy everything about her, which

are included her family, her life and her habit. The boy was so surprised that Arrietty can read.

Arrietty thought that human should borrow things to them. Because they are just borrow, not

steal. The boy said to Arrietty that he didn't believe that there are another borrowers , and

Arrietty might be the last borrower. Arrietty said to him that she also has another family

members, and they are still alive. But the boy said that Arrietty's uncle's family might be die.

Arrietty was so sad about what he said. So the boy decided to help her to find her uncle.

The boy said that he can help Arrietty to send the mail to her uncle.Arrietty was so excited

about it. She never told her father that she had been seen and talked to the boy.After that ,

Arrietty wrote a letter for her uncle.She wanted to meet the boy and asked the boy to help

her send the mail. She just putted the mail under the carpet, and let the boy found it. After

few day, she went to the boy's room and asked him about the letter.The boy said that he already

send it to her uncle, and her uncle wrote something on the letter. Her uncle wrote"tell your aunt

come home." But Arrietty said that her aunt wasn't at their home.


I think Arrietty is a curious girl. She always want to know what the humans world look like.

So she tell the boy everything about her. Maybe in the book the boy is good. But I think in

the real world, we shouldn't trust anyone so easily. I am not talking about everyone are bad

guys. Just sometimes we need to protect ourselves. Except this, i think Arrietty is a stubborn

girl. If she want to believe something, she will always believe it. I think this is a good thing.

Sometimes we think something is impossible, so we just give up. I used to saw a movie, the

movie said"everything is possible if you just believe." I absolutely believe it. You can't get

anything because you don't even want to try.

PLUM LOVIN' p90~145

Stephanie and Diesel went to meet Jeanine Chan. They were in front of Jeanine Chan's house, and reading her file. They wanted to ask her about her boy friend, but Jeanine didn't want to answer anything about him. Actually, she is loving another boy friend, so she didn't want to meet old boy friend. Also, she wanted to forget bad memory about old friend, so she didn't want to tolk to Stephanie and Diesel anymore. Next day, Stephanie and Diesel went to Jeanine's old friend to tell about Jeanine's message. "Please, forget me and don't contanct me through your agents (Stephanie and Diesel).

Stephanie and Diesel went to Burlew's store to help him. At that time, Burlew was working inside of icebox, so Stephanie was standing in front of cashbox to help him, and they were tolking about Burlew's one side love with Disel. Stephanie suggested to get Jet's good feeling to Burlew. "I think that you can't tolk to her, so it is a big problem." Stephanie said. "You need practices to tolk to her" Disel said. They was exercising that if Jet come to Burlew's store. "What do you say?" Stephanie asked him. "Thank you." "What else?" Burlew was stumped. "Tell her your name," Stephanie said. " Larry Burlew". At that time, Jet was coming his store. "Oh no," Burlew said and Diesel too, Jet told Stephanie. "I want to meet your cousin (Burlew)



When Jet entered Burlew'store, I could feel interesting because Burlew really want to meet her since Burlew saw her in front of his store. Also, Burlew is really pure man, so he is hard to get Jet's love more than normal person. The author often wrote natural conversations. For example, "She was maybe an inch shorter than me. She had brown almond-shaped eyes and shoulder-length dark brown hair. She was slim and dressed in a gray shapeless sweatshirt and matching sweatpants'. When I wrote essay in reading class, I wished to write essay like Stephanie's novel.

there are so many strong pitchers and strange pitching form pitchers in the league so, he couldn't
keep his batting form when he used in Japan. Also, another reason why he changed batting form
because Major league strike zone, in Major League Baseball, strike zone is different from other countries, Major League strike zone takes outside ball widely.
Next he changed playing styile, when he played baseball in Japan, he could hit homeruns easily but in Major, he can't hit like Japan so he used his run spead and his bat control then he could make a lot of baltimore hit such as used safty bant, he can reach to first case 3.6 seconds. This is the story about how and why he changed the play stile in Major League Baseball.

I think that he may change the play style like this. Because he was able to make a lot of records from Major League, and, as a result, he was able to obtain the success in Major League and a lot of fans at the same time as obtaining the record. Also, he can make good score constantly every year, but now his age is 35 years old so, his run speed is getting slower than before thus, I think he needs to change his play styile again. I think it is playable still long. There fore, if he wants to play more longer in Major League, he needs to be change play styile again.

When spring came, Jane found a beuiful view of surounding around her school. However, there were a contradiction at that time. Many students fell illness and died due to typhus, starvation and cold. Few people in Lowood allowed to play outside without supervision including Jane. During that time, Jane's friend, Helen had been sick for long times, but Jane didn't recognized about that. One day, when Jane visited Temple's room, she relized that Helen will soon die. Jane thought she must embraced her before her death, so Helen died in Jane's arms when everybody was sleeping. Eight years passed. Jane had been working at Lowood for two years as a teacher befor she left Lowood. She was in there for six years as a student and worked for two years. She wanted to find her liberty in other place as a governess. A few days later, she received a letter from Mrs. Fairfax of Thornfield, Millcote. Mrs. Fairfax needed a governess for a little girl. Jane decided to work there and she left. Befor she left, she met Bessie and asked about her family's news. However, there were no success in her family.

RESPOND:
Even though she had a terrible experience that is a death of her friend, Helen, she overcomed.
That's a strong emotion for me. If I were in her situation, I wouldn't do that and even take care of myself. Anyway, I was so touched. Also, when she bacame a teacher in Lowood, I was really surprised. In my case, I can't do that like her, because of bad circumstances. The school is so old and there is a bad memory of her friend. Last, I hope that she will live well at Thornfield, Millcote as a governess.

Women in religion p.g.35~93

Eons ago, perhaps all religious practices fell into the category that we now call" Indigenous Religions." This is a catch-all term encompassing all remaining cultures, generally tribal, in which local religious practices and beliefs are still alive, usually in close relationship to the land upon which the people live. Religion and everyday life are often so interwined that the people may have no word for"religion" as a thing apart that occurs only sometimes in temples.
Nonetheless, there is clear evidence that women have in the past played important spiritual roles in many of these societies and to the extent that their traditional lifeways have survives, they still do. Indigenous cultures provide some of the world's strongest examples of women as religious leaders, but also, in some cases, evidence of oppression of females in the name of religion.
Considerable controversy is now raging about the relative position of women in Hinduism. Hindu nationalist factions are trying to portray Hindu women as having always enjoyed great respect, but feminists are attempting to call attention to the existence of not only oppression but also violence against them.

My opinion.
Women's role now in religion has been changed a lot. They and men have almost balanced in religion. But many years ago, women were not very respected by people. In Hinduism, as the negative began, there is a startling sex imbalance in the Indian population because of the preference for male babies. Women had to bare the responsibility for male babies. There are stories of "dowry death" in which women are killed by their in-laws for not meeting all their dowry demands. But now for Indian women, they are discovering bold inner resources that have long lain dormant beneath the mantle of submissiveness dictated by Brahmanic and cultural mores.
In contrast ot the general Western view of a world of inanimate, insensitive things, with which humans can do as they like, tribal peoples tend to see the world as consisting of relatives. And the spiritual culture of indigenous people is passed down from generation to generation.

In chapter five to eight is talk about that Pod had been seen by a boy, so they are worried

about it. They decided to tell Arrietty about this. In fact, Arrietty didn't sleep, she can heared

some thing that her parents talk about. Arrietty came to the kitchen and asked her parents tell h

her everything. Homily asked Arrietty that why her uncle need to emigrate. Arrietty didn't

know anything about why her uncle need to move. Homily told to Arrietty that her uncle need to

move because he had been seen. They also told Arrietty that her father had been seen. Arrietty

was so shack about it and started to worry it. Homily wanted to calm her down, so she started

to tell her a story about Harpsichord family. They used to live in a mantelpiece, but they alredy

move since the house they live had become empty. Homily aslo told to Arrietty that her aunt is

belong to Harpsichord family. They know Arrietty always wanted to go to the upstairs. So they

told her that her uncle's daugther Eggletina had gone to the upstair, she may already be eat by a

cat. But Arrirtty still wanted to go to the upstairs. One day, Homily asked Arrietty if she want to

borrow something with her father or not. Arrietty was happy about it. So she went to borrow

things with her parents. Arrietty always asked Pod to borrow something that she want. But she

never know being a borrower is a very dangerous and tough job. Now she understand that her

father's job is very dangerous.


My opinion:

I think Arrietty just like normal kids. She always being so childish. She always asked her

parents to do everything for her . She never think her parents need to take big risk to get these

things. Just like some people may think that parents can do anything for them. They donn't

want to study hard , and they do something bad to their parents. I used to read a news from

the newspaper. That is talk about 25 years boy asked his parents to give him some money, but

his parents didn't have any money to give to him. So he became very angry, he hitted his

parents. I think this is very awful. We need to thank our parents. Because they pay all of their

life to take care of us.

The christmas blessing by Donna Vanliere p.71-130

Andrew came to Hope's room, during the time he talked to Hope, Dr. Goetz came. He asked him went with him to Charlie's room. Nathan talked joking around with Charlie. After that, Dr. Goetz complimented Nathan, he has a natural ability with children and patients. Every body can teach medicine, however the natural ability can't teach him. Sometime he took care something a personally. Patients and children have trust him. Then Dr. Goetz asked him does he want to become pediatrics or even pediatric cardiology? but he said no. And he told him that he will change to another rotation with Dr. Hazelman. After Dr. Goetz left, he sat on his table and he thought about his situation. However, he thought that he was not wrong, he has to prove to Peter and himself that he had a right decision when he changed to another rotations.
Now he changed to Dr. Hazelman's rotation. Nathan met Dr. Rory Lee, he perform operation. After he was done, he talked to Nathan that doctor has met something bad things when a patient died. Dr. Rory gave him advice that he should take a break in his mind. He is very smart, but he is worry too much about his answer. He is one of the best doctor as he knew. His problem is he didn't trust himself. As a result, he couldn't stand when he get a trouble, also when patient died. Even though, the best doctor can't help patient a live. Dr. Rory gave him advice that he should take a break and think about he should become a doctor or not, but actually Dr. Rory still hope him become a good doctor. At Nathan's house, he thought that he should stay to finish medical school or he should get off and move to another major.
He bought a birthday cake for his grandmother. His family has father, grandmother and sister. His grandmother thought that they will ask his father find another woman. He is thinking that should he tell his family that he will get off of medical school. But he thought that it's not ok. His father is a worker in garage for a long time. He didn't find any woman since his mother died. After the party, Nathan talked to his father that he was not sure that what he would do. His father said that everyone will know what he has to do as not so far in the future. His grandmother heard that so she said he is a good to be a doctor, so he couldn't get off of medical school. But he thought that his family was so upset about him because he will finish medical school soon. His father told him that he has to finish his rotation on Dec/23, after that he could do what ever he want.
One day, Nathan asked William to run with him in a park. Before he run, he remember his father said that God didn't take her mother, God just love his mother. He still didn't understand. He just thinks that he doesn't have enough strong to be come a doctor. After that he wake up, then he prepare to run. At that time he met Meghan, and she knew that he is a doctor in the hospital. They talked together. He asked her that was she a person who organized the scholarship run at the hospital. Then he asked her that was she a heart patient. But she said that she was not a patient, she was a friend of Dr. Goetz. He thought that it was funny. He thinks when Meghan run, she didn't think about her disease. She just actives for her health.


My opinion:
Meghan was very funny, Nathan was getting trouble. After he talked with Meghan, he changed his mind. Meghan was a main reason to make him changed. His family always encouraged him to be a doctor. And he thought that he doesn't have natural ability with his patient. He is not a deceive person. He made a decision but after that he thought that it was wrong. His father is a good person, he always lives whole time for his children. However, his father always silent, so he didn't share about his thinking with his father. His father always tried to explain to him why his mother died. He thought that God love his mother and God wanted to take her away from her pain as soon as possible. I think the end of this book, Nathan will become a good doctor because he has a lot of good friend. His family always stay beside him to help him be stronger.

The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 104-161)

Third habit is 'Put first things first.' He required that the time quadrants such as exam tomorrow, friend gets injured, late for work, project due today and car breaks down. these things are procrastinator. next things are Yes-Man such as unimportant phone calls, interruptions, other people's small problems and peer pressure. these things are realted to urgent. Also, he said 'A personal challenge' is very important habit because if you have goal, you will do very hard for goal. And he compared between RBA DEPOSITS and RBA WITHDRAWALS. RBA DEPOSITS are keep probises, do small acts of kindness, be loyal listen say you're sorry and set clear expectations. RBA WITHDRAWALS are break promises, keep toyourself, gossip and break confidences, don't listen, be arrogant and set false expectations. He said that keeping probises and do small acts of kindess are very important. Also, he said 'set clear expectations' is think of a situation where you and the other party have different expectations. Put together a plan for how to get on the same page.



My opinion: I think third habit is very difficult to translate into action. Also, when i read this part, I learn a lot of noun clauses. Actually, i think keep promises are very basic thing in our lives. Therefore, we have to follow this habit for our lives and futures. Before i read this book, i often don't do homework. Because I'm little bit lazy person. However, i changed my behavior after i read this book. I really thanks to this book and Mike because he gives blog homework, so i read this book. After i finish this book, I will try to read another book.

PLUM LOVIN' p49~89

Stephanie and Disel met Annie. Annie was a little shorter than Stephanie, a little older, a little plumper. She had short, curly brown hair and lively brown eyes and a nice mouth. Disel introduced Stephanie to Annie. Annie wanted to get a new boy friend through Stephanie. Stephanie is going to use meeting chance at Valentine's Day. Disel and Stephanie are finding files about Annie's a new boy friend.
Next day, Stephanie and Disel went Charlene's house. She is Stephanie's old customer. Also, she does't want to get a boy friend in her life, so as soon as she saw Stephanie and Disel in front of the front door, she said,"I don't have time to talk to you". Disel asked "Are you sure you don't want a man in your life?" "Jeez"Charlene said."Why did you reject them?" "They rejected me" Charlene said, "When I said I don't have the time or energy for a man right now and I have two kids upstairs and figuring out how they can bypass the parental controls on the television." However, Stephanie said,"Let's get the man taken care of first" Disel said, "Be honest. What are you really looking for in a man?" Charlene took a moment . " A good man," she said "Someone who fits with me. Someone comfortable"


My opinion

Actually, I could't understant Stephanie and Annie relationship. Annie is Stephanie's customer, but Desel and Annie look like friends. In fact, I can't understant perpectly. I just understood 75% this story, so sometimes I confused about characters. For example, the author write in a colloquial style so I sometimes can't understand. However, this author says feelingly. I hope that I want to write like the author when I wrote essays. Probably, it seems vocabulary problems, so when I write the essay, I wrote the essay as far as I know vocabulary so I need to study about new vocabulary.

"Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell, pg 121~205

"Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell, in the part of the book from page 121 to 205, the book tells me that the horses sold to a new master and what they would do every. The master was very kind, but the mistress was not, she like horses to be fashion, so that made Ginger very angry, and her bad temper was back. Than a new groom came here to treat them, he is good, but he had a problem that when he drink too much, he will be very cruel and careless. So when he rode Black Beauty to meet his old friend, he drunk too much, and that cause him careless about the nail which was loose in the horse shoe. And than when they came back in the night, the broken shoe hurt the horse's hoof, it cause the horse fell down, and the groom was died in this accident. Not too long, Two men came here and found the horse and dead person, and carried them back, and found the cause of this accident. Because of the bad accident, Black Beauty's leg has a terrible scars there, and the master didn't like this, so he decided to sell the horse to a man who keep many horse and rent them to people. A few days later, a gentle man ask the man to sell Black Beauty to a old man who wanted to ride a horse for improving his health. The old man hired two groom for the horse, but they both were not good and made many troubles for the old man. So the old man sold the horse to a fair. In the fair, Black Beauty was sold by a good man, and he and his family were very love the horse. The horse also help the man for working and working. One day, during the rest time, Black Beauty met Ginger with a weak body, and Ginger told him about her sad life after he was sold. She wanted to died to over her terrible life, then not too long when a man led Ginger go away, Black Beauty saw a dead horse was carried by a cart, that was Ginger. When it was Christmas, the man and the horse were work hard, but the man was very ill after a cold night for waiting two men. And after he healed, the doctor adviced him didn't to work with a cart again, so he and his family accepted his friend idea and prepared to move to another country for working. They had to sold Black Beauty again.

When I read this part of book, I was very sad about each horse of their life, especially, Ginger's terrible life. When she was born, she was treated by a curel treatment. When she died, she also died in a rough treatment. I'm sad with her bad life, and also angry with humans cural behaviors for animals.And I also think fashion for animal was very less practice, and that always hurt animals. Why don't humans think about the fashion put on their bodies? If they try it, they will realize that how hard and cural it is for animals. I think we have to give a good a treatment for animals, also they can't complain and tell you what you did that is curel for them, but they have brains, and they could think about how curel it was what humans do for them. They have the feelings, and they also need to care. They are not mechine or dead thing. They are alive, the same to humans. So please take care of animals, don't make them sad again.

Jordan Rules, Pg 55-89

Summary


This chapter covers the record that Micheal had played in NBA by the time he retired. He has played in NBA for thirteen seasons. In these seasons, he led the Chicago bulls to win NBA finals six times, got season MVP five times, and got NBA finalls MVP six times. This success was so great that other players never recoard. About his playing position, he usually plays in Shooting guard. In this position basketball players can get more points than the other position like Kobe. His playing position can be changed in Point guard or Small forward. This means that he can play in three positions of five positions. people call it "All-around". His physical ptentials make it possible. in addition, his dunk style is unbelievable. Because of it, audiences give him a nickname, "Air".

Response

This chapter told me that Micheal Jordan is really great basketball player in 1900s like what I have already known. I think that because audiences in America knows what he has acheived well, they call him the Legend of NBA and Air, and I suppose If Kobe or LeBron records their succesive score, they never exceed his spectacular impression. His nickname, Air, expresses it. I wonder who named him Air. That is really good name. His dunk was not like human but animal. I had never seen that incredible dunk like printed on his shoes, Air Jordan. After all, I am going to explain why I continue to write about Micheal Jordan. I can bollow this book by this week, and this chapter attracts the interest of me. Therefore, I read it and write about this chapter again. Anyway, I have been reading next book, 24. I am sure that I write bout 24 next time.

Ichiro on Ichiro

This topic is about many players and people who understood baseball skills amazed in his baseball technics while they saw his baseball practice at the first day of spring training. His on of the strong part is the battting(bat control). He can hit ball any where collectly which course ball comes. This mean is if ball comes out course, he can hit it to left field, and if ball comes in course, he can hit to the right field. This is the one of the special skills. The other skill is ball control and strong sholuder. He can throws ball really hard and collectly. This because he was a pitcher in the high school baseball team before. Thus, he can make lot of good play on the field. Therefore, many people amazed about his baseball skills at first day of the spring training.

I also think he has a really good baseball skills too. When, I saw Ichiro first time I was really amazed about his baseball skills. Thats because he made many hits on the game and he took some out by his shoulder, so I can understand why people in America amazed about his baseball skills. Also, he can still throw over 95 milles fast ball and good braking balls, so he can show more surprise to both team mate and fans I think. I have heard saying that he wants to do the pitcher before, so I hope he can shows this skills for the fans while nearing.

Girls in Pants _The Third Summer of the Sisterhood_ Ann Brashares (p.23 - p.41)

On the Senior Party, Brian had already dressed up hisself and prepared some gifts for Tiby and her family like a dating manual. Maybe he had read a book that talk about how to prepare a dating. So funny that his dater was wearing jeans while he was wearing a suit jacket and tie. He felicitated her looking because Brian is a worthy guy with Tiby and he knows about the Jeans. They had been growing up together, but in this time Brian was looking at her in a difference way and he wanted Tiby look at him in a difference way too. When they came to the auditorium, Bee and Carmen had already arrived, but Lena and Effie hadn't arrived. Bee had dressed up look like Marilyn Monroe, Carmen had dressed up to which the boys were already "flocking", and Tiby still felt comfortable with the Jeans. Bee, Carmen and Tiby went to badroom to reproach Tiby that why she didn't know Brian like her and she hadn't return that feeling in this date. When Lena arrived, she wore something so usual and this is make Bee and Carmen were so mad. They dressed up again for Tiby and Lena. When they came back to auditorium, Brian invited Tiby to dance with him. This is the first time Tiby identified that Brian was taller than her and she felt something difference than before. Then they went to park- it was another of their place. They sat in the picnic table in there. So romantic that he kissed her. It was the real kiss. He said: "I love u" . It was so beautiful to her and everything about friendship between Tiby and Brian in her mind was gone.

The next day, Carmen woke up so early because she wanted to say good-bye to Bee before she went to her camp in Pennsylvania. She came to her mom's room, but exactly it was her mom and David's room. He is her step-father after her parents had divorced. Of course, she didn't like him and felt uncomfortable about the divorce. Actually, everything in her house had already changed so difference after David stayed here.

When Tiby woke up, she felt everything had happened last night was like a dream. She began to thinking about him. She had some questions in her mind as his habit. She identified that she loved Brian and she tried to tell her mom about that, but it wasn't work. Because today she had to watch over Katherine for Loretta, but she didn't want to do it. She hate this job- a babysister.

So sweet that Tiby identified her love with Brian. I think her love with Brian had happened before that time, but she didn't know what was that. She just think it was a normal friendship. Sometime you don't know what the feeling is name, so when you find out it you will feel really excited and happy. At that time, your feeling is working.

Jane Eyre By,Charlotte Bronte page. 67-99

She got the school which called Lowood. The next day, when Jane woke up, the weather was so cold as all of students shivered. After the time what the bible reading was over, they had breakfast time. In the classs, Jane saw a certain thing that was so unbelievable that she didn't understand teacher's behavior. The teacher said to a studnet why you didn't wash your face and hair. Actually, she couldn't wash her face because of the frozen water. Also, there were some problems, food for students was so terrible to eat. Bread was really dry and soup was burned. Evrything wasn't obviously good for students. It wasn't still good food and clothes even though the weather was really severe cold. Few days later, she met a teacher, Temple. She was so nice teacher, and Temple gave much information to live at there. Also, she met her first friend, Helen after Jane was punished by bad teacher. Consequently, Jane was taken comfort from Helen.


Finally, Jane meets her first friend at new school. Also, she meets her teacher, Temple, she is really kind, gentle and responsible. Especially, the teacher gives lots of advices to Jane, so Jane
can control her emtion and get a good grade. Although the circumstance is really terrible, Jane
endures that. She might be a good person. In these days, I feel that I need to control my emtion and endure as same as Jane. As time goes by, I feel tired of learning English because I think my English skill doesn't improve more. That's why I need to wait for the future.

Women in Religion (Mary Pat Fisher)p.g.12~33

Throughout human history, women have had deep spiritual experiences, have been healers, have had access to enlightened wisdom, and have been willing to devote themselves to the service of others. Each of these women's experiences has been unique. But the spirituality of both women and men has always been expressed within and molded by social systems and religious traditions. In general, these systems and traditions have been favored men as spiritual leaders and relegated women to minor roles. Neverthese, because women as well as men have spiritual experiences, sometimes very powerful ones, there have always been some women who have broken out of the mold.

Religion for women's experiences are individual, conveniently categorized. And for women, their patriarchy in institutionalized religions, is seemed to founded by men. Some of them access the situation and some of them struggle to make people know what they are thinking and what they gonna do. But there are many limits on women's religious participation. They are not allow to do what they really want to do. Everything they do should follow the religious status made by men. In many cultural, women always clean the holy places, attend the daily masses or be the secretaries and office managers. They seldom have power in their religion. It's what women's experiences in religion.

The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 72-104)

Second habit is ' Begin with the end in mind.' It means that you draw up a blueprint before you build a house. Also, he said 5 important things such as college, friends, sex, work, drugs. these thing called by crossroads of life. He said why did i say these things because these things can decide our lives. Also, he adviced to us such as Religion, Education, Succeeding, Productive, Exercise, Caring, Truthful. These things are 'strong shared this one.' He said two examples of teen mission statements, each very different in style and length: Care, Love, Fight, Rock. Care has world,life,people and myself. Love has myself, family, world, knowledge, and learning. Fight has my beliefs, passions, accomplish, to do good, to be true to myself and against apathy. Rock has the boat, don't let the boat rock me and be a rock.



Opinion : I think second habit is much important than first habit because second habit is kind of plan for my life. Therefore, when i read second habit part, i wrote some memo on my paper. I think these things are very important. I will have to remerber for my life. Also, i will teach these things to my children after i get marry with someone.

Homily didn't want Arrietty to know that, so she asked Arrietty to bed. But Arrietty wanted to

know what they want to talk about. However, Homily insisted her need to go to bed. After

Arrietty went to bed , Homily asked Pod to tell her what was happened. Pod said that he was

been found. When he went to borrow things, a boy was saw him. The boy found that he wanted

to take the cup. Then the boy took the cup and looked at Pod. The boy told Pod that he can take

the cup. But Pod was worried about that. It is because they may need to move. Homily was

worried about Arrietty that she can't get use a new life.

I think Pod is a good father. It is because he always care about his family. And Homily is a good

wife. She always worry about his hasband.Sometimes, I think they are poor. They can't be found

by human,so they need to live very carefully. If I become a borrower , I may tired of this life.

PLUM LOVIN' CHAPTER 3 p34~48

Stephanie and Lula met Burlew. He was over six feet tall, weighed 230 pounds, and had hands like hamhocks. He was a butcher. The butcher shop was empty of customers when we entered. Burlew is Stephanie's customor and he is a shy butcher. Also, he loves Jet. Jet is working at across coffee shop. Burlew go to the coffee shop every mornig in order to see her, but he have never told with her because he is a shy, so the Stephanie wanted to help him. Stephanie entered to meet her. the Stephanie ordered a coffee. "It;s for my cousin across the street," she intentionally told her, but she didn't know about Burlew because when he went to the store, he just stared Jet. Stephanie said, "He's shy. And he stares in here because... he'd like more coffee, but he can't leave the shop". Stephanie made her to meet the Burlew. After the Stephanie finished talking with her, she told him. "Jet will come to your store to bring a cup," "So, please prepare to meet her." But Burlew did't have confidence to meet her, so the Stephanie advised him. "Don't stare so much, talk to her, and change your apron".



My opinion

Burlew is very shy to Jet, so Stephanie would help him. Probably, she will go to the Burlew's store because she would want to check their result. This chapter was interesting about Burlew' personality and Stephanie' wit. If I am Stephanie, I can't tell like that. She intentionally told her that he is my cousin. Also, she tried to make a chance to meet Burlew and Jet. Next chapter might be funny because I wondered about Burlew and Jet relationship.

"Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell pg 81~120

The book "black beauty", by Anna Sewell, from page 81 to 120, talks about some bad events happen in the horse's life. First, James that Black Beauty's groom and it love him so much would go to another place for a better work by the invitation of the master's brother-in-low. So before he leave, he did some practice with Black Beauty and Ginger and his skill was improving better and better. Second, some days later, the master and mistress went out for visiting some friends who lived about 45 miles away with James, Black Beauty and Ginger. Also that was a long way to go, but James's skill was very good, so Black Beauty and Ginger didn't feel too tired. When the sun go down, they reached the town and spend the night in the large inn which in centre of the marketplace, and Black Beauty and Ginger were led to the stables. In the night, a fire was burning in the stables. A man ran into the stables and tried to led all of the horses in the stables to go out, but all of the horses didn't go with him, so he gave up and ran away. A moment later, James came into the stables and used him gentle voice to led Black Beauty to go out of the stable, then he went back to help Ginger to go out. After that, a old groom said to James that it is very difficult to lead horse to get out of a stable when there is a fire or a flood unless someone who they can trust. Third, when James leave, he teach a boy that named Joe Green who would take James's place all of things he have to do in the stables as much as he could. Several days later, John woke Black Beauty up in the night, and told it that mistress was very ill, he had to bring the doctor here, and he needed Black Beauty ran as fast as it could. That was very fast, Black Beauty ran to the doctor's house and brought him here just use a shor time, because of that, the mistress's life was saved. But when it came back to the stable, Joes Green didn't know how to do with this state, so he did a wrong way for Black Beauty, and because of that treatment, Black Beauty was ill. It didn't get better until John came to look after Black Beauty. And he did the right way for it, and made it feel better. He was so angry about Joe Green's work, but he did complain too much, because he knew Joe Green just didn't know how to do well. Finally, after Black Beauty got better, the mistress's illness was getting worse and worse, and doctor advised the master to move to another quiet place for the mistress. Because of that, the master can't move the whole things to another place, so he send Merrylegs to a priest and sold Ginger and Black Beauty to a good friend of him. When the master and mistress leave, all of them knew that they would never see the master and mistress again.

In this party of the book, I realize that people who want to drive a horse also need to get the horse's trustment, or they can't drive it. If a horse trust a man, it will be realize the man's feelings, and it will be know what happen depends on the feelings and help the man by it best.

Ichiro on Ichiro p10~20

This chapter story is about Ichiro's first season in Major League Baseball on Spring traning. First, most he feels difrences in MLB was, play style. Thus, he had to changed almost every things while when he was playing in japan, so he tried to change his batting form. This is the biggest part to changed for him. After he changed his batting form, he could make good batting score easly. However, he had to think about another things, it was power, most MLB player have big body and they are really powerful, so he was amazed when he saw them at first time. Then, he tried to made more good body. Therefore, this is the story about 2nd chapter in Ichiro on Ichiro.

reaction

I think this story is really interesting. Thats because I could know how Ichiro overcome to play baseball in MLB like he plays in Japan. So I can under stood how Ichiro work out for these things and how he made success in first year spring training. Also, I could learn how do I play with American baseball. Therefore, I thought this chapter is useful and interested for me.

NARNIA-PRINCE CASPIAN

pg29~49

summary

The next day, they wanted to came out of the island. The children went through a wood place near their right side. There was a river. They saw two soldiers on a boat wewe prepare tp threw a dwarf in to the water. However, the children saved the dwarf life. After that, they all went out the island by the boat. During that time, they share experience with the dwarf. The dwarf told them about prince Caspian. In the prince caspian story the dwarf mention,the prince Caspian talked about the old Narnia-about Peter,Susan,Edmen,Lucy and Lion Aslan story.


reflection

In the third chapter-The Dwarf,I feel the story start to become better because they are ready to went out of the island. I think the author is a funny guy because of he insert many word have no effect on the overall situation. And that in the chapter 4-the Dwarf tells of prince Caspian,I like his writing technique.The chapter 4 start to talk about the prince Caspian background. The drawf told about the prince Caspian story,and then the prince Caspian told other stories. A story in the story,is looked so interesting.

Girls in Pants _The Third Summer of the Sisterhood_ Ann Brashares (p.7 - p.21)

The graduated day is a great day to students, so every student always wants to take some memory picture in this day to keep their memory with their friends and their school. Of course, our four girls had some pictures together and a whole picture with their family. After that when the girls were sitting together to make an itinerary for their magic jeans, Tibby was in thinking. She had seen everything was changed into their friends because she likes to see everything in the backward rather than forward. Skip her thinking; she came back with their itinerary for the jeans. Carmen was holding the jeans, Lena is lighting the candles, Bee is fussing with the dimmer switches near the door. They were worried to say good bye to Bee but Carmen decided to save that for the beach at the end of the summer. It is a great deal. They promised each other that it would be their weekend and it just have the four of them and nobody else. That time is so important with them because they all had had different amount to lose: Bee would be in her lonely house and had nothing; Carmen would say good bye her mom; Tibby feared leaving the familiarity of her chaos and Lena flipped and flopped…The thing they feared equally and powerfully was saying good bye to one other. After they made the jeans’s itinerary and reviewed the rules, they said it together:

“To honor the Pants and the Sisterhood

And this moment and this summer and the rest of our lives

Together and apart”

In that time, all of the girls were crying and especially Tibby was crying when they said “the rest of our lives” because of that time, and she knew in her heart, they were already on it.

That night Tibby had a nightmare about her crazy great-grandma Felicia. It was a bad dream. After Tibby awoke, Brian invited her to go to senior party that night. Tibby felt that invite is so ridiculous, but she wouldn’t hurt his feeling and she said “ok”. They was sitting and looked at the other's eyes...atually, Brian was so happy.

One day in the early spring, Lena was staying home, she watched a young woman on a day- time talk show who'd written a book about being adopted. This woman had never met her birth mother and she spent her whole life to hoping, wishing and waiting her mother would find her. She had never left from her first foster family's house because she doesn't want to take a long trips. She just used a phone number. Since then, Lena had thought about this woman many times and this woman reminded Lena of herself. She want to leave home, she had a good university ,but she didn't have enough courage to leave the place where Kostos could find her. She love him so much. While Lena was thinking about Kostos, the phone rang. It is Carmen. Carmen called to reminded Lena about the senior party. Actually, Lena didn't want to go there. She didn't know which dress she can choose because everything is had worn with Kostos and filled with memories. In her mind, everything always about Kostos. Kostos is everything with Lena.

After i read it, i had something to remember. It is about my friend and my first love. Before I went here, I had had to say good-bye to my best friends. I love them and we were belong together a long times. Actually, when you have your friends around you, you can't feel lonely and know what about amity's value; but when you are alone, you will know what about that. Lena's feeling about Kostos that reminded me about my first love. Actually that relation is kind of childish but we have had a good times together. In that time in my mind, everything always was about him and I didn't want to lose him. After we broke up, I still miss him when i feel sad and see our memories's places again. While I have a new boyfriend , sometime i still miss him. I know it isn't fair with my boyfriend; but when my boyfriend treated me bad, i miss my first love because he has never made me be sad...we just broke up because of my mother....

The 7 HABITS of Highly Effective TEENS ( Pg 10-71)

Some people have stupid quotes. it means paradigm. paradigms are like glasses. if you want to delete paradigm in your brain, you need to be more serious and affirmative. First habit is ' BE PROACTIVE'. It has two languages. 'I'll try' , 'That's just the way i am' , 'There's nothing i can do' , 'I have to' , 'I can't ' , 'You ruined my day' these are 'Reactive language' and another part is 'Proactive language' such as I'll do it, 'I can do better than that' , 'let's look at all our options' , 'I choos to' , 'There's gotta be a way', 'I'm not going to let your bad mood rub off one me.' Author said 'Proactive language' is better than 'Reactive language' . If you want to be proactive person , you must use proactive language. I think 'Proactive' person is ' take responsibility for their choices' , ' think before they do that', always find a way to make it happen' and ' focus on things they can do something. Therefore, they will be success person. Also, author said being proactive really means two things such as 'can-do people' and 'No-can-do people.' I think that if i think can-do person, and i'm creative and persistent, it is amazing what i can accomplish. Now, i need it because i will go academic and need hard study. I think that i'm reactive person and no can do person now. I really want to change my mind and behavior. I will try to change my mind and behavior for my life. Actually i didn't read many pages last weekend, so this weekend i really tried to read many pages i was so hard. I realized that read book every day. I will have to do that.

PLUM LOVIN' CHAPTER 2

This chapter is about Stephanie Plum's job. Stephanie and Lula went to DMV because Charlene Klinger was working there. Sthphanie and Lula wanted to know about where is Annie so they went to DMV, but Charlen just said " I don't know about her" Stephanie wanted to help her because Annie is her customer.

I don't know what went wrong. Stephanie was disappointed about Martin's behavior. Stephanie thought that why did Annie say to Martin "You are a pest". Stephanie guessed that Martin would meet another girl while he is meeting Annie. After Stephanie met Martin, she went to meet another customer.


My opinion

This chapter was easy to understand for me. The chapter "2' story was about Stephanie's job and her surrounding characters. She always try to meet her customer and make chance to meet man and woman. I like her job because I want to become like her. She has a magical power of charming people, so I want to learn her skill. And I am getting funny this book.

The christmas blessing by Donna Vanliere p.28-47

Meghan received a phone call from Denise from the pediatric unit early in the morning and she was told that a heart was available for Hope Reed. Hope was a five-year old who had been waiting for a heart transplant, because her heart was enlarging.

After the phone call, Meghan went out to a nearby park to run; in fact, she was looking for the runner with the neon ball cap. As soon as she found the runner, Meghan speeded up behind the runner in the neon cap and kept up with her one lap after another around the lake.

Once, Meghan explained to her father that she waits around for the runner everyday because the runner is the best runner Meghan has ever seen, and she wants to run after somebody better than her.

After the runner finished running, Meghan stopped, breathing hard, and said to herself, “One of these days I’ll catch up to you. And then I’m going to pass you!” Also, she prayed for Hope Reed.

After watching Meghan and the runner running, Nathan starts running. Then he arrives at the hospital early to ask Peter permission to change to another team. Nathan told Peter that if he stayed with Dr. Goetz he would surely drop out of medical school. Peter told Nathan that he would see what he could do. Thus, Nathan seems relieved.

After working out, Meghan went back to her house to have breakfast with her sister and brother. After breakfast Meghan helped dress Olivia, her sister, for school; in fact, Olivia loved all the attention her sister gave her. Meghan was more than generous with the time she spent with her sister and brother.

When Meghan was a little girl, she was diagnosed with a heart problem. Dr. Goetz told her parents that there is a hole in her heart. However, Dr Goetz said that that hole is small and it would eventually close on its own. So Meghan can live a normal life but with restrictions – by making sure that she does not do anything too strenuous.

For several years later, the hole has not closed at all. Nevertheless, Dr Goetz always beamed when he saw Meghan because she proved him wrong: she wasn’t fragile and frail, and her heart seems very strong. As a child, Meghan would run up and down the street with her friends. Allison, Meghan’s mother, would watch through the window from inside.

I like Meghan, she is very strong. She taught me how to be stronger. She showed me how to become a good person. This book has something is very difficult to understand, however I tried to understand that and I will finish it soon. After I read this book, I admired Meghan. She is a patient but she is very strong.

The borrowers chapter two

The chapter is talk about the borrowers family. There are four family members in their fmily, that including father Pod , mother Homily,daugther Arrietty and son Eggletina. This family live under the ground. They always borrow things from the house they live. This chapter also talk about how they live. They always eat something that someone left and use manicure scissors to cut it. But they need to eat the food economical. It is because their father need to take a risk to borrow food. Pod always made button-boots out of kid gloves. Homily always knitted their jerseys. And Arrietty always read books and wrote her diary. Homily like to direct Arrietty do anything for her. Arrietty always lives in her imagine world. I think this chapter is interesting , because I never imagine the borrowers live . Even though we don't know they are exist, they still use their way to live.

"black beauty" by Anna Sewell,page 51~80

The book "black beauty", by Anna Sewell, from page 51 to 80, talks about something happened in the past about the horses in "Birtwick Park" where blackie's master lives in. First, the writer talks about how did Merrylegs give a lesson about when it is enough to ride on him to the children who wanted to ride some more. The next, all of the horses in "Birtwick Park" have a conversition when they ate in a orchard. They are talked about how cruel humans are for animals and there are also some good humans like their master. Finally, the author tells about a event that happened in a stormy day. The master gave a proper name "black beauty" for the horse, blackie. And then the master went out for a business trip with John who helps the master to look after his horses and black beauty. But the water broke the wooden bridge when them came back and black beauty stop to go any more in front of the bridge for save his master in the terrible stormy day. His master and John were truly thankful for black beauty.
In this party of the book, I'm very surprised about the spirits of the horses, they are the same as human, and they can feel the world as well as human, sometime they are feel better than human. They hate the horrible things what did it by human. They can show their love directly, especially, when the man who they loved is dangerous, they will rescue them with their lives. I feel sorry about human's barbarity for animal, I hope everyone can be kind for each animal with love.

Ichiro on Ichiro

ICHIRO ON ICHIRO


ICHIRO ON ICHIRO by Narumi Komatsu. Pages 1~10

Summary of book

This story about Major League Baseball Player Ichiro Suzuki’s real story and how Ichiro made success in MLB. The first chapter is story about why Ichiro changes to play in the U.S and life in the MLB. At the first I read first 10 pages it story was, Ichiro got MVP award in 2001 season. In 2001 season his team Seattle mariners made 116 wins and this is the record in MLB, every player did well on season so, Ichiro couldn’t believe this happened at that time when he heard about this information, he thought his team mate Bret Boon got this award, so he couldn’t believe it happens.

Response

This book is really interesting for me. That’s because I love baseball and I really respect Ichiro, so I can easily to understand this story. Also, I can know more information about him. On this chapter, it was easy to understood for me because words are not so difficult story was interesting and I could get new information about him, so I like this chapter to read this story. I can not guess what happen next from this story, but it will be more exciting story at the next chapter I think.

The Jordan Rules by Sam Smith. Pg1-22

Summary

This chapter is a kind of introduction about Michael Jordan. Michael is a member of the Chicago Bulls and a legend of the NBA, National Basketball Association. He got NBA champion rings 3 years in a row from 1991 to 1993. However, he suddenly expressed his retirement in October 1993 when he was thirty. There are 2 reasons: one of the reasons is he wanted to be a member of Chicago White Sox, a team of MLB, and another reason is his father died in July 1993. His father had wanted him be a baseball player until dead. After his death, Michael decided to be a member of major leaguer. Therefor, he became a major leaguer, but his hitting record was terrible. So, he came back to NBA two years later.

Response

Michael Jordan is one of the stars I love. I have watched games in which Michael played since 1996. His play style is gorgeous and powerful. The movement made me his fan. This caused I chose this book for this assignment. This chapter covers what I do not know. So this book is very interesting for me, but in this book the author uses difficult vocabularyies. I will try to memorize new vocabularies from this book.

The Emperor's Virgin - Sylvia Fraser

Chapter 1 p.15~p.26

A September morning in the Forum. Senators, recently returned from summer at their country villas, greeted each other on the steps of the Senate.
A man whose name is Maximus Marcus, in red-plumed helmet and scarlet military cape, entered the Forum by th sheet known as Silversmiths' Rise. It's about 15 years for Marcus had been absenced from Rome, he had seen many wonders---the Great Pyramids, brooding and impenetrable, sentinels of the desert; the Acropolis, ascetic and inspiring as it glowed on its hilltop.
As Marcus strode along Sacred way,the oldest street in Rome, he felt energized by the mass and magnificence.And he jostled his way through the crowds jamming Scared way, aided by his unusual height and the prestige of his uniform. As he entered Sacred Square, he was repulsed by beaters waving myrtle brooms and shouting, and then he saw a parade that a virgin was being initiated into the cult of Vesta. Gazing into the girl's face Marcus felt a shock of recognition. Where had he seen that face before, yet not exactly that face?
After the parade Marcus cilmbed down the Aventine, glad he had visited his friend Julia despite Flavius Clemens' warning. As he re-enterned the Forum, he saw a curl of smoke from the brazen roof of the Temple of Vesta, and remembered the procession he had seen that morning. He remembered the faces of the chief Vestal, and also where he had seen it before: not her, but her twin. His friednd Nestor, who had died in the eruption of Vesuvius.Nestor had had a sister who became a Vestal. It was she . It had to be.

Jane Yere by CharlotteBronte page17-36.

When she wakes, Jane notices she is lying on her bed, and she is taked care by doctor who is a family’s doctor. Jane remains in bed today, and Bessie sings her a song. Mr. Lloyd talks with Jane, and he suggests to Ms. Reed that the girl went to a school, where she might find happiness and pleasent. Jane is excited at that story what the doctor said.
Jane learns more of her history when she overhears a conversation between Bessie and Miss Abbott. Jane’s mother was a member of the wealthy Reed family. When they married, Jane’s wealthy grandfather wrote his daughter out of his will. After Jane was born, Jane’s parents died from typhus. About two months later, Jane knows that she will be sending a school for orphan.


I thought she is almost died and worried about her future. However, she endured everything and sent to the school for orphan. She was excited at that fact because she doesn't care her cousin and her family who insult her anymore. Also, she is so delightful that she can be learning what she wants long time ago. I wonder what is the next chapter's story and her future in new school. She might meet new friends and teachers, but she will be hard to study at there, for some reasons.

Girls in Pants _The Third Summer of the Sisterhood_ Ann Brashares (p.1 - p.5)

This book is the third book in a series of four books in a series of four books: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood and Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood. The series are talk about four girls who found the magic jeans that fit all four of them perfectly, even though they’re all different sizes. They are Tibby (the rebel), Carmen (the drama queen), Lena (the shy and beautiful), and Bridget (the soccer jock). They are best friends a long times. When they found the magic jeans, actually it has brought to them lots of lucky while they were wearing it. That’s why they really love these pants and they should have taken turns to keep these pants. Each book is talk about a summer and this book that I am reading is the third summer. This summer is the last summer before college and they are going to attend to four difference colleges in three difference cities. Maybe it will be difference with two last books.

In the first chapter, the teller’s name is Tibby. She told that this pants has a great power to change and make four normal teenager girls have pretty lives of amazing adventures. These pants help them feel loved and safety. Of course, it makes them better people and better friends. It is true.

The four girls became friends each other by chance. Their mom took the same a prenatal aerobics class eighteen years ago and then they each gave birth to a baby girl in September. Of course, each girl has difference character. In this chapter, Tibby used the metaphor of car to describe the four of them and I tried to understand and explain what she means. Carmen is easy to make a mess of things and get mad with anything is disordered but actually she’s a lot of fun. Lena is easygoing girl, she is easy on the environment but sometimes she does something wrong and she should have help. Bridget or Bee is strong girl and she can do everything really good. So what's about Tibby? What did she say about herself? She thought she likes a bike, maybe she means she is a normal girl and nothing special.

In September, they go to college. Bee goes to Brown- one of colleges that she applied, Lena goes to art school at the Rhode Island School of Design- that her parents advised, Carmen goes to Williams- her dream’s school and Tibby goes to film school at NYU. The day after tomorrow, they’ll never all live in the same place again and that is a big change in their life. That’s why they will launch the Pants on their third summer voyage in tomorrow night.

Why did I choose this book? Because I saw the movie found on the first book of this series and I'm interested about it. I know this summary is so long , I try to make it be shorter than this one. This book has a lot of new vocabulary and it isn't easy to understand because it is psychological. If I understand what it means, I might understand what they are feeling and thinking; and if I understand what they are feeling and thinking, I must understand what it means. It's so hard. But I like to discover human thinking and feeling. I won't give up. I'll make my next summary is easy to understand and everybody will be interested about this series.

P/s: This isn't everything I have already read in last week, I will finish it in next week.
