Gentleman of Rio en Medio- question number 9

People on this entire planet are all unique, they are all different to each other. Not just only the human, but all the living organism do. Each of us have different perspective, the point of view how we look at the world, the people, the object are different too.
In the story Gentleman of Rio en Medio, it was narrated by the lawyer who convince Don Anselmon to sell the trees. His point of view is awesome. The way he tell us was pretty clearly, and we all get the character. But when he described Mr Don, it was like he telling us how poor Mr. Don is with his old gloves. If Mr. Don was the narrator, i think he would never describe him self as a man like that, even though he is still a gentleman. And the way he express his feeling about trees that he planted for the kids in the village would make the audience get bad mind for the Americans. In addition, if it Don's perspective, the way of thinking and viewing things would be different.

Stop The Sun- literary focus- Question # 7: Make a Judgement

I do think that Terry made a right decision of questioning his dad on his experience at Vietnam War. Why? Because he loved his father. When he saw his father acted strangely, unlike others because of his syndrome. When he asked his father about the experiences, throughout the story, he could realize everything that happened in his father head. With all the sudden, he knew that he was wrong of being ashamed with his father attitude. But, if he didn’t ask his father to talk about the experiences at the war, he would keep his self full of embarrassing from his dad weird attitude, caused by the syndrome at Vietnam War, that will last forever inert on his father mind. Also, when he and his father had the conversation, the hood between Terry and his dad gained bigger, tighter, as the feeling of the son felt sorrow for his dad bad luck. In my perspective, it’s the precious moral for Terry, that he should accept his family members, no matter who they are or what they have, especially is for his dad, the person who gave birth to him. In addition, I believe that Terry made a right choice; helped him to get rid of embarrassment, either gained the better for the relationship between him and his father.

Essay entry # 2 "Blue Danube"

“Will you come to the Home coming queen with me?” Chad requested me with his charming voice. I was blushing like I have never been before. It was just happened last week, when I first entered this new high school as a stubborn girl. Turned then, an extraordinary guy asked me to come to the prom with him. It was like girls dreams come true. And I couldn’t believe in myself that I accepted the invitation from a rock star, because I used to hate those fancy clothes with high reputation men. At the school hall on Friday night, we gave each other our first kiss.
On Monday, at the very beginning of semester two, I entered my new school, the IUM of Australia. I was very excited when I saw the school’s halls, which were very neat and simply white lockers. There wasn’t much colors stuffs and decorated things on the school wall, which was quite boring for people, but not for me. (I know, I understand how tedious I am, but trust me, I am telling you this for my purpose).
I expected myself for a second half of eleventh grade to be better than the other half old one. Before the school bell rang, I met Macy, the president of student council. She was my classmate, also my guide for the new school information and classes. We became friend pretty fast, because she treated me very nicely. But then, at the exact 8:30’, still on that day, all girls around the school was rushing out to every windows and the school gate. Macy didn’t, but she stood there and screamed to my ears: “Oh my Buddha, the youngest rock star, who won the Teen choice award of his talents and beauty, Chad Dylan Cooper. Ah ah!!!”
I didn’t very interest on him, I meant, I hated rock stars and those who were famous. I took my book out, went straight down the hallway to the ICT room, ignore whatever people were doing. At some point, the crown just had been release by the councilor. For some distraction of looking for classes, I crashed a guy. I was very embarrassed and hurried as possible, I picked his stuff. When I looked up, a big smile with deep blue eyes and his shining blond hair appeared, almost made me want to fell down.
He looked at me and said: “Hello, I am Chad Cooper, as you know right? Who are you anyway, are you a new student?”
WHAT? I had to admit that I was in day dreaming, but then the name Chad was abruptly woke me up. I changed my perspective right away. I stood up immediately, gave him the books, and said: “Oh, oh I know you. Hello, my name is Samantha McCarthy, you can call me Sam. I am a new student. Now good day sir, I got to go.”
Chad rushed his voice: “Wait up, you know, you are very… cute, I love your hair… Would you, would you like to go out sometimes?”
I turned back, glanced at him, and ironically said: “Don’t even think of that. Tell you what; I hate rock stars and any types of famous people. I am not desire to date with a young famous rock star like you. An ordinary man would be fine with me. Farewell!”
Okay, don’t even think that I’m arrogant. No I wasn’t. In my mind, the definition of extraordinary man was the popularity, the reputation, and the bias of normal people to them. Since there, I didn’t know why, but everybody told me that Chad got a crush on this Samantha McCarthy. He drove me crazy everyday- and those days was the best days ever. On the next day, meant Tuesday, when I walked into the school gate, it seemed everybody was talking about ME. Was there anything wrong with my uniform? No. It was Chad Dylan Cooper, the one who caused this mess for me. All the entire beautiful, neat, and simply white metal lockers of the school had been ruined by Chad’s fantastic hands. I was a volcano that going to explode. He even didn’t make his artwork makes sense. Just some black, red squiggly lines by the colors spray, spread out everywhere on the lockers surface and done. It looked just disaster as my life was when he me. I thought famous people must be good at everything, but seemed not at all. Chad met me at my locker on the hall way; the one that he sketched a heart on. He batted his eyelashes: “Hey, how is going, do you like this?”
I stared at him and ended with a big slam: “Yeah right, whatever, I don’t want to care, now excuse me, I have to go to my violin lesson.”
Chad suddenly held my wrist and pulled me back: “No, wait, let’s see what Mrs. Flynn is going to say about this, and you’ll see me at the detention room today! You know an ordinary man do ordinary stuff like get detention, right. Darn, I am so good on this!”
Therefore, Mrs. Flynn, the African American art teacher, was the number one fan of Chad. She looked at it, staring at it, went around every side to see it, and that action took her about seven minutes. I wondered if Mrs. Flynn got injuries with her eyes, or because of her honest to be Chad’s number one fan. She went out her final decision: “Chad, this is great, it’s gorgeous. I can’t believe a star like you still have time to create the huge masterpiece like this. You are such as a talented boy. I’ll name it the Rhythm. Do you like it?”
Chad was like a statue. His whitened face could show us that he was freaking out by his number one fan. He knocked his head and then looked at me with his sparkle puppy eyes, like begging me to give him a chance. Without any clemency, I gave him a ridiculous smile, and rushed to my violin class.
Chad was a biggest leech I have ever seen in my whole life. He followed me everywhere, even to the lunch table. And now, he signed up his name for the musical class- because he just wanted to talk to me. The teacher in chart of this musical class, Mr. Joseph was totally opposite from Mrs. Flynn. He loved music, but he didn’t expect a rock star to do the try out to get a chance to study in his class. It was so oblivious how show off would a rock star be. But also, it could be unfair if Chad didn’t be allowed to attending in musical class. Mr. Joseph didn’t ask him to do the tryout; even he was ahead at playing piano and drums. Chad had to play the triangle. To play the triangle was the easiest and also the poorest instrument, but I wondered the reason why he accepted it, and ignored everything will happen to him to get a part of the class. He chose to stand next to me. The only one major thing that he tried to tell me was that he was still can be an ordinary man without any rock stars stuff and he could made me falling for him. I did get some feeling with him, but then I tried to replace those object with study, so it wasn’t a big deal. For the musical concert, this time, our school chose to play the Blue Danube. Blue Danube was a great song, from the melody to its sounds. However, there were somebody played the triangle had to awake after every five minutes to do his work.
But Chad was finally kidnapped my heart.
On the next day of practicing the Blue Danube, he was late. Instead of telling teacher the reason; he gave out everybody in the class a new version of Blue Danube. He said: “Guys, I, as a normal guy, think that the old version of Blue Danube is boring. Yesterday I stayed awake until three o’clock to finish this. Let’s practice!” As he said, people all settled down and play the new version. He was right. The new version was influence by rock, and it made the crown in the competition coil and exited. School won the first place as we protested. I was so surprise on him, for the happiness he presented me, and what he has done for the public.
At the end of the concert, I met Chad. He wore a black tuxedo with his hair has been brush and put on gel on carefully. Again, “Hey pretty girl, how was the show”? This time, I couldn’t miss an opportunities to give him a lovely smile to thank you to what he had done. I said: “Well Chad, I admit I am wrong to judge you as a useless rock star. You’re such a funny and attractive guy. You know, I thought you were very annoying to me these days, but you also make me tot think a lot about you.”
Chad laughed on his blushed face. He was gently said:” Well, if then, will you come to the Home coming queen with me?”
At that time, that period, my face was a ripe tomato: “I would love to be that lucky girl!”
Eventually, when I walked toward him, I stepped on my long blinking dress and I slipped. Chad was behind me, and he held my back. We look at each other for a meanwhile. Chad used his hand to push me up and force his back down. I didn’t know what he up to, until my face was so close to him. I closed my eyes and we gave each other our sweeties first kiss.

paragraph entry# 1 " use descriptive language to describe a person that you know"

Ruby is very confident with the “S” curve of her body. Mostly every day, when people enter the school, she gives all the girls in the school a ridiculing smile. Sometimes, she says derogatory things to her class mate, even though they didn’t do anything that makes Ruby feel condescending. Her face always glitters- goes along with her sparkling outfit. We could use a metaphor to say she is a chipped black rough diamond that has been covered on by some magic sparkle stuff.

(Entry#2, Narrative easay) Big Trouble

My family lived at Ho Chi Minh City, but my dad worked at Hai Phong, so it was quite often for me to see my dad. Because my dad didn’t stay at home much, so every time he came home, I and my sister had to be ready for everything he would ask us about. Dad was quiet strict, so everybody in my family were really afraid of talking with him. When I was little till I grew, dad had never hit me before, not for once. But when I was 9, it happened…

“Hurray!”

That was what I yelled when I saw my dad came home. Dad often came home once a month, but this time, I thought because he was too busy for work, so it took him 2 months on a row to come home. We missed our dad, a lot. Actually, when ever our dad came home, he brought a gift or something delicious for us to eat. But he didn’t this time. I drove people on the wall when I didn’t see my dad give me anything. “Maybe he did, but he hid me” I suggested myself. By the way, this time, my “Godmother” and my “Godfather” came along with my dad, so I received presents from them already.

As what I said above, my dad was very strict, so we (Jenny and me) had to prepare for dad questions. Usually, dad would ask us about how we study, what we did when dad wasn’t here, did we make good attitudes toward family…plenty of them! But this time, he even didn’t ask us once. He looked tired than ever he was. He was dizzy and my mom said he got an airplane sick. That was weird, ‘cause once a month; he took a fly from Hai Phong to Ho chi Minh, and vice versa. How and why did he get sick?

My dad went to his room to take a short nap before lunch (he came back in early morning). I played my toys in his room. He took out his shirt and put on his pajamas. Then he took out his watch and left on the shelf, near to my toy box. I looked at him, and then looked his watch. Suddenly, a bad idea came out of my head: “What if I hide his watch, he would be crazy to find it and that gonna be fun.” Well since I was five years old till this time, my habit was to hide people stuff. I like to hide their property, and then they had to be crazy to find it. Because I was just a little girl, acted innocent a little bit, and they won’t recognized me- who was the kid hide their stuff. But I didn’t hide those stuffs forever, of course! So a couple weeks later, I put it back to where it was, and their owner would be very surprise. It was very fun for me to do that. Back to our main idea. When I saw my dad’s watch, an idea flashed in my mind. I waited until dad fall as sleep, then I went stealthy to the shelf, and I took the watch away from it. But unfortunately for me that, mom suddenly entered the room and I just noticed it when she touched the door handle. I was so frightened, so I put my dad watch in to the CD cabinet, right underneath the shelf. Then I sat down immediately, before the door opened. My mom came in and said it was lunch time. I went down to the kitchen to set the table for our guests. I heard some noise on the second floor (my dad room). I knew that dad and mom looked for the watch. I smiled and thought what if they couldn’t find it.

But I was wrong of hiding the watch in the CD cabinet. My mom accidently opened it and found it. Because our house had guests, so we didn’t look for the hider. Well lucky me, but I still felt something wrong about it. At lunch times, dad talked with our guest so happily, but seemed he was angry about the watch. I felt scared and a bit guilty. After lunch, my mom asked me and Jenny to come over her room. Dad wasn’t there. He took our guests out to visit the city. Mom sat down very quietly, and we stood in front of her. No one said anything. Mom stared at us a while and asked: “Who hid dad’s watch?” We looked each other and no one said anything. The atmosphere became quiet. Our sweat dropped down to the floor, drop by drop. My legs trembled, but I had to restraint it. Both of us didn’t say anything. Mom lost her patience, started to yell at us. After a while, still, we didn’t say anything. Mom was too angry; she grabbed the broom, and then hit us. I felt so guilty when I did it but both of us had to receive the punishment. I wanted to tell mom, but I didn’t have enough courage to tell her. A short moment after that, she stopped. Jenny cried a lot, but I didn’t. Mom kicked us painfully, but I was the last child, plus I was very stubborn, so no matter what, I didn’t tell mom or cry because of that. When dad came home, mom told dad that none of us admit their mistake. That afternoon, my dad called me to come over. I wondered why, but a scary felling popped up in my mind. He seriously asked me to sit down, and with a heavy but kind voice, he said:

- Susan, (according to what I remembered) why didn’t you admit you mistake? I knew you were the person who hid my watch.

I was so suspired and anxiety when dad said that. But because I was stubborn, so I lied:

- No I didn’t. I didn’t take your watch and hid it. How can you be sure it was me?

Dad sighed, and he was quite for a while. I thought dad was trying to find the evidence to catch me, but he couldn’t. After a while of thinking, he said:

- I gave you a chance to telling the true, but you didn’t tell me the truth. When you hid my watch, I saw it. I closed my eyes, but I didn’t sleep, I peeked when I heard noise. Susan, you are in big trouble. I hate my children lie to me. I have never punished you before, and seemed because of my gentle so you think you can go further from what I expected you to be, in a negative way…

My face turned red, I felt like hot tempered. I didn’t know if because the room was too cold so I chilled or because I was too afraid so my body started to shake.

Dad stared at me, said:

- Cat got your tongue?

Then he took out a heavy, huge stick behind his back and hit on my hand. He didn’t hit me too hurt, but my tears kept running out of my eyes. I tried to stop it, but I couldn’t. I felt so humiliated in front of my dad. I shouldn’t do that. I peeked at dad face. The angriness, blended with the sullen, kept appeared on his wrinkle- disappointed face. After five times of hitting me, he gentle said:

- That’s enough for you. Now back to your room and don’t forget the lesson I taught you.

I encouraged myself:

- I am sorry Dad!

Then I walked out of the room, closed the door slightly, and gave him some quiet time to calm down.

After this experience, I got a determination, to get rid of my habit of hiding people personal stuff and also with my stubborn characteristic. I promised with myself that I would never make this mistake, again. I learnt a precious lesson that lying to people is bad, and we just use it whenever it’s necessary. Thank you, dad, I had a chance to able to study these things that I said from above. “Dad, you are the kindness to me”.

Connect: Why do people dislike other people?

Why do people dislike other people? In my opinion, the answer is style. But first, I want to tell you an example about a person that uses to dislike others.

I know a girl who studies with me in the same school. She studies pretty well, and she looks very pretty. But her characteristic is not so nice. She doesn’t social well with everybody. Only the people who she likes and she thinks they are cool to play and work with can have her good treatment or I can say that she doesn’t like people who are over her. Everybody respect her, because of her study. People try to make friends with her, but it seems not so easy. These stuff make she feels like she is the cool and popular one. She doesn’t like people who look ugly, or study not so well, and she doesn’t like to talk or she ignores them every time when they try to talk to her. She doesn’t respect those people!

In the story, at the last few line of part one, when Joe and Frank see that his friend, Charlie gets smarter, they don’t want to talk or work with him anymore. Not even to two of them, the whole factory, they don’t like Charlie anymore. Everybody even sign on the petition, that they want to fire Charlie, except for Fanny. But why do those eight hundred and forty people want to fire Charlie? Because they jealous with him. Since Charlie start his Operation, he just getting smarter and better than before. He is not dumb and being dullness anymore, instead, he understands things that come to him from his friends, which is bad and which is good. More than that, in fact, now he can fix most of the things, and the factory gives him bonus for that. Those people get no reason for that, so they just use their jealousness, to hate and put all their angriness on him.

If they are intelligent, they might think they are way too much cooler than others. They put themselves on the highest level and look down on the people with the scornful eyes. They dislike most of the people are different from them at some negative point (like those people got some mental problems, so they being silly or positively are the people who aren’t good at sports…). With those guys, just only the people who are pretty much like them can able to work and play with. They think that others people are jealousy with their perfect intelligent and personalities. But I believe they are wrong! Being confident at all time is the most important, I admit that. But everyone is unique; they are different from each other! Think positively, those people who dislike other people who different from them because they jealous with others that they hate because they don’t have things that the people they hate have.
