Independent Reading Project Reflection

This project totally took me about two days. I don't think I put a lot of effort into this project. Basically what I did for this project is I did an overview for the book, I changed the words from the report a bit, and I add on pictures. I put in 8 pictures total into my poster. Even though I hae been trying to decorate the poster, I think I can still have improvements. For example: I can draw some hammer or pickax to decorate the poster. I think I can do better than what I just did, I can put in more effort. I am not very sure what have I learn through making this project. Well, it is good for me to read a book, and practice making a poster. I learn that don't make wish radomly from reading my book,because later in the book, Otter regrets that he make the wish. Also, I learn that try to become independent. Because your parents won't take care of you. I learn that being a railroad workers are very tough and strenous, their living places are dirty and bad. So don't complain too much, appreciate what you have.

My Most and Least Favorite

I like "The Outsiders" and "Diary of Anne Frank". The least favorites are "The Westing Game" and "The Hatchet". I like"The Outsiders", because there are many actions, and the storyline isvery interesting. Actions in the book such as rumble,escaping, coming back are all very interesting. Also, the characters in the book are all very cool but not dumb, like Ponyboy, Dally......I like "Diary of Anne Frank", because it is an real incident that happened in the modern history. Also, I can learn many things from it. I can feel the pain of being a jewish at that time. I don't like "The Hatchet", because it is just talking about natural, and those things that I am not interested. Also, it is very unrealistic. How can a thirteen years old boy live in the wilderness with nothing two months. I think "The Westing Game" is a very boring book, also it is very creepy. The only thing that they talk about is game, game and game. It is freaky, because they don't even know what kind of game they are playing.

My Most and Least Favorite

I like "The Outsiders" and the "Diary of Anne Frank". I like them, because I think the stories are very interesting, and there are some actions in these novel. For example in Outsiders, you can see the action of Socs fighting Greasers, also the rumble was very cool. In "The Diary of Anne Frank", I can feel the pain of Anne stayed in her tiny room, and she needs to live secretly, or else she will be killed. These two novels are both very cool. The novels I like th least are"The Westing Game" and "The Hatchet". For "Westing Game", Well, I think it is too complex, and I don't really learn anything from that book. Also, it kind of scares me. How can an old man think of such a creepy, complex, and strange game? The story seems sort of implausible. For the "Hatchet", I think it is sort of boring just keeps on telling what happen to Brian in the Canadian Wilderness. All he does is just making food, getting water, making weapons...not many fun things, plus I don't learn things from that novel also. I don't get why is the book trying to tell us, so I don't really like it.

Hip Hop Language

Today I got up from the bed
Saw sun has risen
Pack up my school bag
And get ready for school
It was rush
It was fast
It was full of tireness
But I would still have to go to school
Or I'll be in trouble.
This is assignments from Mr.McCool
I can't think of anything
so this is the end
thank you very much for watching this
I will have to go
cause I want to sleep

Epic Language

The light shone on my body
My eyes have opened and waken
I rose up from my bed
March towards the water closet with proud
I hold a pack of cleaning water from the bowl
I spalsh my face with liquid
Later on
I tramp to the second floor
I boost the bread, and set it into my endure
Following, I march towards the fourth floor
once again
with satisfaction
I clutch the my powerful weapons
eliminate the devils inside my tusk which do destructions
after a couple minutes of battling
I prance below again with the bag of knowledge
Get prepare to absorb knowledge

The Epic Hero

Personally, I think the two heros that we have read in the book are pretty similar. First, they both have the same duties, which is save something from bad. For Beowulf, he was trying to save his people by killing the monsters that havedone destructions. For Casie, he tried to save his team from losing to winning. Second, both of them are sort of cocky and arrogant. For Beowulf, he asked his king not to help him, and he was fighting the monster with bare hands and no cloth, which he chose to do that. How can a man fight a monster with no protections at all and nobody helps? Impossible! For Casie, he didn't even swing the bat when the ball passes through him. Also, after he got strikes, he still show the sort of comfortable, self love expression, which justmakes people thinks that he is arrogant. The characteristic of an epic hero is the hero is willing to fight for the other people or group, just like Beowulf and Casie. Even though they fight for the others, doesn't mean that they are good people. So don't think that all epic heros are great or real.

Experience

I broke the mirror with my blade.
I wrote the words with my moving hand.
I walk with my moving feet.
I slap the mosquitos.
I lie on the bed, and put my head onto the pillow.
I wash my hands by rubbing, then put and pour them with soup.
I kick my self with the back of my foot.
I rub my hands intensively.
I smell the sweat with my nose.
I punch the door with my fist.
I jump into the air.
I spin my pen with my fingers.
I drew a painting.
I grab the tissue, and take it out.
I taste the bread part of hamburger.

Triolet

It was raining outside
All the living things had hidden
Included the animals and insects
There were thunders and lightning every where
The dam was filled with water
People live in Taiwan have smiled
It was raining outside
All the living things had hidden

Limerick

There was a young doggy named Happy
whose father had left her since little
But she stays confident
and said "wuff, wuff" all times
and finally she has been adpoted

List Poem

The roller coaster in Disneyland
Tons of homeworks that piles on my desk
Espicailly Spanish
Spanish homework
Spanish Vocabularies
Spanish Grammer
English and French
Mr.McCool standing there
Talk things that are incredible boring
A bunch of scattered holes
Super slow internet speed
Books that are out of stocks
My belly annoys me
Mosquitos flying around
Ah! I am going crazy!

Free Write

Today is May 5, 2011. I woke up very late today, I woke up at 7:26, so I was pretty rush. I felt very tired when I went to school today. At the first class, we have math. Mrs.Sue gave us 35 more minutes to continue on the test that we took two days ago. The second class is wordly wise. During wordly, I was just basically studying the vocabularies and the suffix that Mr.McCool would test us on. The third class is english. We first took the quiz, I got 18.5/20, which is ok for me. Then he gave us the free write, that I why I wrote all these things here. The last class before the lunch is Life science. Our teacher just gave us a worksheet to work on, and most of the answers on that sheet was in the powerpoint, but I didn't bring my labtop, so I have to do it as my homework. During the 10 events for history class, we won 2 points, which is third place. We ate lunch very late today, but the food is very good, so I didn't really mind. After that I went to PE club. What I did over there was just playing basketball with other grade students, it was very tired but fun!
