Poe's Death

     I think Poe died of too much alcohol in his body because he seems drunk on the rainy day  he get send to the hospital. No one knows where he is nor anyone has seen him the whole week before he get send to the hospital, he might be in some bar and don't want the others to know. Also his body temperature is high like what people usually get when they are drunk. He talk to imaginary things on the wall when he wakes up, which shows his mind is still control by the alcohol. So I think Poe died because there is too much alcohol in his body.

Most dangerous game - old movie

      The most dangerous game have a movie that is made not long after the book is writen. The technology of the movies are still pretty bad at the time so there are some difference between the book and movie. And there are always differences between the book and the movie. The most obious one is the characters, there are a lot more characters in the movie than it is in the book. I don't want to comment but i think it doesn't makes it better. In the open scene the main character in the book is falling off the ship because he heard a big noise. In the movie the ship is craching into a rock and everyone else on the ship other than the main character die. Also in the movie there is this scary (or suppose to be scary) room Grenral Zarof use to scard the person who is about to be hunt but you can't find this room anywhere in the book. We have not finish watching the movie yet but those are the big differences i found between the book and the movie.

scary movies

Yes, i like scary movies a lot because it is fun to scare myself. I would be scare when i watch the movie and want to cover my eyes but i still keep watch it anyways. I sometimes get afraid of night after i watch the movie but the funny thing is i still say yes next time my friend ask me if i want to watch scary movie with her or not. I think there is a part in human's nature, from millions of years ago when human is the week one, is violent and use to be scare all the time and we just can't use to it. Telling ghost story would be an other activity people do to scare themselves.

    Of course i have felt the experience of envy others, i don't think anyone have not felt this way before. I envy other people not quit often, at least not often i notice of it. I don't envy the others on things like having a new phone or something i don't have. What happen much more often is I envy other people's friendship. I don't like the way some of my friends are better friends with the ones i don't really know about. I know it is quit ridiculous because i have my own friends that my best friend might not know much of. But some times i just can't stop the feeling. I would not say or express it out because i know i shouldn't have this kind of feeling, and i am a good hider anyways. Even if my friend don't know about it i still feel bad for myself so i  would talk to myself about it and try not to have the feeling. Something like saying "don't be like that" or "hey you have your friends too" to myself over and over. That kind of works for me, i think,  at least i know i am trying. Although it might not work after all, i still do it.

    There are two political sides in Taiwan, blue side and green side. It is cutting Taiwan to half, the upper part and the lower part; the green part and the blue part. With in the city or family this could be the sensitive topic that brought up the arguing or fight. The father told the children so and so is bad and should hate them. The children often blindly believe what their parents told them, and they told their children and their children. The hate pass on, and often grow stronger after generations. It is harder to get rid of after each generation because the children grow up in the environment that hates the opposing side. With the engorgement or pressure of their family the hate would grow stronger and stronger.

reflection 1

Something i think i should do to be better is read more. I like reading, even in English, but i just can't find the time to do it this year. I have not read any new chinese book or any outside of class English book sense i become a 9th grader. I really want to change it and read some more new books because i know it is really going to help me and for my own interest too. I really like some of the stories we read and i like the way we talk about things in class.  My favorite activity so far would be the video project. It is really fun. I don't like the tests because some of them are just too long. I don't know what i would like to see in the English class.

p 187 question # 6

I think the middle part of story where it talk about how she slowly get stuck is the most successful part. The whole story is very much believeble, i would not be suprise if i saw this story on the news. The story didn't tell us much about the dirct relationship between the murderer and Caroline. We read about it in third person but i really want to know how the murderer or Caroline feels. Maybe the murderer is nice afterall, Caroline could be the mean one in theird relationship.

The Interlopers vocab sotry

 The evil marauders always wonder around my house, trying to steal the precious artwork my father have. No matter how precipitous and high the wall is, the steepness seems no use when the marauders come. We acquiesced to let the police help us, so now there would be policeman walking around our house trying to catch the marauders. It is a exasperation to me when I try to concentrate on my homework. It is so annoying that each day there would be at least one policeman would ring the bill and wonder around my house. The condolences those policeman give us piss me off too, it makes me feel like I am a poor kid or something, which I am not. After a while I begain to retorted the police, but I always feel bad after it because they are here to help us and I really shouldn't have give them the attitude. But i never feel gulit to those ones that have pious actions. I think my reconciliation to the policeman had confuse them a little. Unable to relax at home, I felt languor at school and of course my grades is going right down. Gladly I have my friends that always give me succor and I can reorder my mood before I went home and face the annoying things.

One mystery i have heard about is in a book. A man is going to a town to see a important person. It is a dark, clod night and the man is trying to find a cheap place to sleep. The man find a woman's house that is for traveler to sleep and it all seems quit nice and cheap. Later on in the story the man find out the woman stuff all her pets after they die, and two other man have been to her house never left. Plus the man remember the two man are on the missing people section of the news. The story never told the readers what happen to the man but it lead to a point the readers know what will happen to the man. It stop right before the man gets kill. I think it is a good story to look at and i would recommend my friends to read it, if they have time. In my opinion a good mystery story need to create a good mood in the story, and the ending must be good. The mystery don't have to be resolve because it is a mystery story but the ending must be strong, and thats what makes a mystery nice and fun to read.
