Quick write - symbolism

        The silver cup in Johnny Tremain is a symbol. That cup is very special to Johnny because her mother left it for him, father yet the cup can bring him wealth when the god had turn away from him. The cup represent the relationship he had with the most powerful family in whole area, meaning his blood from straight from theirs. The cup also remind him the times when his mother was still with him and other things about his mother. That cup is also the reason he want to be a silversmith and why he try so hard working on being perfect on his works. The cup is a very special thing to Johnny and it is why it is a symbol.

      Being proud means you are happy, think you did a good job because of something to me.

      There are lots of situations could make someone proud. When someone earn a award of some kind, when someone finish a difficult task (especially when they did it well), when parents saw their kids become a good person and so on.   

       I think there are nothing wrong of being proud, the only thing is we have to be careful of not being too proud. Being proud is a good thing, and everyone should have experience that before or else there must be something wrong with that person. Being too proud makes you a unwelcome person and no one would really like you for it.

Amy Chua has been called the “tiger mother” since her book about parenting is publish. I can barely stand as her point of view to look at things that way, she is doing what she believe is the best for the children of course but is that really the best way? I am really glad Amy still let her daughter have some freedom like having a boyfriend, iPod and things like that. Although this article is suppose to tell how Amy Chua is good or not as bad, it did not change my point of view.

Jean's article is very interesting and i like the way she writes about how she is raise. I like how Jean said she is going to let her children "make decisions and mistakes for themselves." This is what i think parents should be. Although it is good that we go on a path that WILL lead to succeed, it is better if we go on our own path and discover what ever we need to discover. I mean, people learn from failures and sometimes it is the best way of learning. I will not treat my kids, if i ever have one, like Amy Chua does, it might work for some children but it is just not the way for me. 

The lady or the tiger quickwrite

  If I ever have to, would I chose the thing that was good for me or good for the one I care about?

   I think I would chose the thing that was good for the one I care about. Now, of cause I don’t want to get to a point that I have to make chooses like that. When this kind of question comes on paper, everyone say they are going to make the chose that is good for the one he/she care about. The real question is, would you make that same decision when the situation is in real life? Of course it also depend on how heavy the bet is. I hope I make the decision I made here when I really face the problem.

   One time I kind of face the problem but it is a small chose. I decide to hand the one I like to one of my best friend. It is not like he is already my or anything it is just I was better friend with that guy and I help my friend to get better with him when I know she likes him. Do I feel regret for it? Of course not, what is the point of feeling regret for the chose you make? Plus I don’t like him anymore so I really don’t mind now.  

why is it the "Road not taken"?

   I think the poem is called the Road not taken because the poem is talking about how the author wants to take both roads and how he felt bad that he didn’t see what the other road is like. As a traveler the author think is it his job to go over the roads, too bad he can only take one.

     The article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” is talking about how the Chinese mother and Western mother’s parenting is different. Which is, really different, in a lot of ways. The article show the typical Chinese mother and how they thought about their child.  

     I personally don’t agree with what the mother said. Of course the child’s self – confidence will not break and will work hard if the parent insult them once or twice but with non-engorgement for pretty good result and insult for working hard but cant get the gold all through their life, the child is going to get depress. They would think the parent don’t understand, love them.

       People always have to make choses in their lives some are easy and some others are hard. I have face the chose of what am i going to do for the rest of my life these days. The pressure will be stronger as i go through high school and it is bothering me already. The reason it is bothering me is that i have no idea of what i am going to do as a job or major in my life. I know i am very interest in biology but i defiantly don't want to be a doctor. That is decided when i was very young, i do not want to be a doctor. I can try something else that has to do with biology or novels, for i love reading novels so much, but i don't that those might support me. So this is my choses, i don't know what to do and i don't know what to pick.
       I would love to stay with my friends while taking the classes, like even though i am in basketball team already and i really don't need to take any more PE class i still take PE class next semester just to stay with my friends. My parents effect the chose i am going to make too. Although they said everything is in my hand, they are the reason i do not want to be doctor. Also as they talk about it with me i know they want me to have a job, with pretty good of paid. The teachers that teaches the class also effect the chose too. If the teachers make the class really boring than i might not find myself too interest about it but if the teacher make it fun then i would really want to learn about it

The Gift of the Magi

    If you could save just one item from the disaster what would it be?

   If i could save just one item from the disaster it would be the gold neckless that my grandma gave me few years ago. It is something i really treasure because of the way my grandma give me it, and it is the stuff from the one i love. It is a gift and yes i treasure it a lot more because it is a gift."Jingmin," she said with her special voice that i would never forget, "this is my neckless I don't wear them any more, you keep it well. One day when i die you can took a look at the neckless and remember your grandma sometimes." I swear i cry that time, well luckily my grandma is still with me now. I will, as always protect the neckless as i am told to.
