A lot of things have happened during winter break. I ate rice cakes; my sister ate chicken. (Pattern 1) For me, the rice cakes were delicious; for my sister, horrible. (Pattern 2) I thought the rice cakes were delicious because they were chewy, sweet, soft. (Pattern 4) On the other hand, the chicken tasted terrible to me: it was tough and flavorless. (Pattern 3) Nonetheless, everyone enjoyed their Christmas meal and went home with bright smiles on their faces.

New version: A lot of things happened during the win

New Version: **** My vacation was somewhat boring: **** I cut my hair about 5cm; went to hagwons; went skiing. My haircut was very simple; not very noticeable. My mom told me to cut about 10 cm below my ears ** ; my brother said it's the same. ** Nevertheless, I am excited to go back to school. **

=Paragraph over the break, snow, or new haircut... Monday morning, I saw my mom slowly step into my room; time for school. I slowly woke up, showered quickly, and went over to the table to eat my breakfast; no matter how late I am, I always eat my breakfast. I was brushing my teeth when I got a call from my father, telling me to bring an umbrella with me. I went outside of my old apartment and peered outside the automatic door. Snow, snow, snow. It was snowing and as I stepped outside, I didn't even feel the asphalt road. I saw my father waiting and I rushed over to him, carefully stepping over the 10 centimeter-deep snow. My father and I rode a taxi since it was impossible to take cars out of the underground parking lot; Koreans put all their cars in the underground parking lot even if it means that the other people cannot possible take their cars out of maze. Well after the ride in taxi, I had another ride in the school bus for two hours. Frustrated by all these cars, buses, and a pungent puke by a little boy, I went to Sunae Station to ride back home. Although I was happy with the thought of no-school, I was still frustrated by all the people trying to squeeze their ways into the train. But I think the almost school-day and two new holidays were good ways to start the new year. Well, I heard that it's going to snow again on Monday. =

__**Story using A-Z:**__ A boy named Ryan had a dream: becoming a professional basketball player. Basketball dominated his life. Crossovers were his life a long with pump fakes, jump shots, and dunks. Danny once said that Ryan might make it into the NBA. Everyone admitted that it was true. Fired up, Ryan started to practice more often and hard. Gosh, he practiced all day long. Here is the life of Ryan Tae, a failed NBA player. In high school, he became the starting guard. James, the starting forward, once said that the center of their team was Ryan. Koreans were known to be bad at basketball, but Ryan proved them wrong. Losing didn’t matter to Ryan; all he cared about was getting into NBA. More and more, he became focused on NBA and started to play hard. “No, I ain’t wasting my life in this high school.” Over his seasons in high school, all he did was call for the ball, take jump shots, get the rebound, and take the jump shots again. People started to respect him although he was only being a real bad ball hog. Questioning of his skills were not allowed; he was the best in all the high schools. Restless, he practiced until the neighbors cried out to stop dribbling the ball. Soon, he had an offer from an NBA team, New Jersey Nets, who were 0-17. The offer was accepted and he was drafted as number one in the 2013 NBA draft. Unlike the high school basketball, NBA was at a whole new level. Volk, his coach, told him to keep shooting and make the shots. Wait, shoot. “XXXXX, get your butt out of the court, you useless fool!” cried out his head coach after Ryan missed ten jump shots in a row. “Yo it’s okay dude. You’ll get better man,” the captain of the team comforted him. Zany was Ryan’s life as he was the most known failed basketball player in NBA.

 * December 2:

November 30: 1. Three diamonds; each worth three thousand pistoles! Sir, I would lay my life down for you sooner than throw you in the dungeon. It is a very simple compound sentence that has great fluency through semi colons. 2. There are orders to arrest all foreigners hereabouts, but leave it to me. This is a very simple command sentence with great fluency. 3. I have a brother in Dieppe in Normandy; I will take you there, and if you have any diamonds for him, he will look after you as if he were looking after me. This is Pattern 1B and has a very good flow. 4. The abbe now spoke up, "It's because am imbecile from Arras listened to some foolish talk, which was enough to make him go and commit parricide -- not like what happened in May 1610 but like . . ." This is a quote from a conversation, very good. =]

About the Key Question that James did:** My key question about the 'optimism' for chapter 19 to chapter 22 is awesome; however, I had some simple grammar mistakes in several parts. I still used many examples and quotations from the book //Candide//. I did really good on the key question by arguing that this world is not the best of all possible worlds and finding rays of hope: I deserve an A+ for this assignment. No one can challenge my beautiful statement. The words in all three patterns do different things and should be used in different cases: Pattern 1, try to make it the same idea; don't want to punctuate them as two separate sentences. Pattern 2, do not use specific word or words from the first clause, but not in the second one. Pattern 3, a second independent clause that explains the idea stated in the first clause.

The girl looks happy; she has a new car; her brother has one too.

Comparing the movie with the actual play: First of all, Romeo didn't buy a potion from the apothecary. Paris and Romeo did not fight. There wasn't even Paris near the grave; probably because the main director didn't want to make Paris such a romantic guy since he was supposed to be the antagonist between Romeo and Juliet's love. Of course, without that scene, Romeo died pretty quicker than I thought. When the Friar comes, it was a little bit different, his tone of fear and his voice of excitement when Juliet wakes up is a little different from the tone I first thought of when I read 5.3, especially as he runs away out of the grave. Juliet killing herself was a little bit awkward in the movie. But both of the versions were very sad and illustrates the tragedy of both people.

Romeo and Juliet Journal:** a. comma with an introductory clause b. semi-colon d. underlining or italicizing or quotation of title ** While reading **__Romeo and Juliet,__ a master piece by Shakespeare, a lot **of things happened in Act V. Act V starts out when Romeo hears that Juliet faced death.** **Hurriedly, Romeo goes out to buy a deadly poison which he will drink in Juliet's grave. Later, Friar hears that the message about the truth of Juliet's death is not delivered to Romeo through Friar John ; Friar strolls out to Juliet's grace with shovels. But then, Paris comes to Juliet's grace, weeping in sadness, as he encounters Romeo. Romeo and Paris, not knowing each other, fights to defend their dear love, Juliet. Romeo kills Paris, as he falls down next to Juliet. Paris desires to be dead next to Juliet and Romeo grants his wishes. Then, Romeo opens to tomb and sees Juliet for the last time as he drinks the poison and falls. Right after that, Friar arrives with his shovel to find the tomb open and Juliet starting to wake up. Friar tries to comfort Juliet and move her to his cell, but Juliet denies and wishes to be with Romeo. Friar hears a noise of watch guards and runs away in fear. Juliet kisses Romeo's lips, which still contain some poison, and dies. As all three of them die, Friar, watch guards, Montagues, Capulets, and Prince comes to see this tragic sight.

 * Journal 3 (9/11/09) (point of Juliet)

It was such a night. The night when I met my foe's son, Romeo. I contempt Montague with all my soul, but Romeo is not a Montague in my eyes, he is my lover and he is my future husband. Although the thought of Romeo made my heart joyful, the thought of my mother's and father's rage against me chills me coldly. Also the thought of Paris made me uneasy and feel a little pity for him who wanted me so badly. But I can leave Paris and my parents and all the people in my great family behind and only search for Romeo, my true love even if it means every evil things in this world. O- I can not calm my heart down when I think of my dear pilgrim, Romeo. I can not wait till the next encounter with my love. WORD CHOICE -- RATHER THAN "CONTEMPT" MAYBE SAY, ABHOR. USUALLY YOU "FEEL CONTEMPT." WOW, YOU JUST MET AND THINK OF HIM AS YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND? NICE TO CONSIDER PARIS.

Journal 2 (9/9/09)** Sonnet was popular in London during the time of Shakespeare. A sonnet composes of 14 line each having 10 syllabus. It also contains the rhyme of a-b-a-b-c-d-c-d-e-f-e-f-g-g

Two households, both alike in dignity (In fair Verona, where we lay our scene)

Italian Sonnet O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ears- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand. And, touching hers, make blesséd my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

The rhyme is a-a-b-b-c-c-d-d-a-a

Shakespeare Sonnet If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. Good pilgrim, you do wrong you hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. Have not your saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

The rhyme is a-b-a-b-c-d-c-d-e-f-e-f-g-g

I am the Messenger
 * Journal 1 (9/4/09)**

A cab driver Ed Kennedy has to face a great deal of responsibilities.

It starts out when he goes to the bank and gets bank-robbed. In the process, he accidentally gets his hand on the gunner's gun and he gets to become the hero of the day. After that, he gets cards explaining things to do like murdering, being a friend, or rescuing someone.

When reading, I felt this fascination about how he is going to control the situation. When trying to kill a man, I felt Ed's feelings that he shouldn't kill him but he deserves to die. I also felt an intense hesitation just like Ed. Also when Ed was helping the running girl and an old woman, I felt a proud emotion when Ed accomplished helping them. As the time goes on, I have a nervous mind like Ed, thinking about the next card and the next mission. I can not wait to finish this amazing book.**NICELY WRITTEN.**
