 * Memoirs of a Geisha Journal Entry**

In the story of Memoirs of a Geisha, I have read that the main character, Chiyo, and her sister have been taken away from their home or Yoroido and their sick mother and worrisome father. When they arrive to a new city, they separate and live in separate homes with new caretakers that make them do work. Chiyo tries her best to adjust to her new home and often thinks of her mother and sister. Although she misses her old life, she tries her best to stay out of trouble in her new home. There, she is sent to school to learn to be a geisha, which she is very fascinated with. She makes friends with a girl, whom she calls Pumpkin, but also makes a “foe” of a geisha, Hatsumomo. **NICE.

Diary Entry: Tybalt's Perspective

Twas this night that I attended my uncle's party. And there, I saw a Montague, by the name of Romeo. I was puzzled to see him there, uninvited. I stormed to my uncle for support on the matter, but he just shrugged it off and let him be, for there have been good stories about him, saying he wasn't as bad as the other Montagues. I was flared, but still left him alone. I observed his movements and behavior, waiting for a repulsive move that would otherwise change my uncle's view of him and perhaps toss him out. But there was no such luck. **LIKE HOW YOUR SENTENCE STRUCTURE SORT OF MATCHES THE POETRY OF THE PLAY. NICE SUMMARY.

DOL REVIEW 10 - 13 - 09

DOL Review -- We've had many, many rules over the last few weeks. Please write the rule and then give an example sentence for 6 of the following. Upload this on your DOL page and label it DOL REVIEW.

1. Comma with an introductory adverbial clause - This is when you put a comma to a word at the beginning of an introductory paragraph. ex. "Firstly, the first letter of a sentence must be capitalized."

2. Underlining (or italicizing) of tv series, tv episode, movie, short story, play, book - Whenever stating a book, Tv series/episode, movie, short story, play, or book you must italicize or underline its title. ex. TV Series: //Desperate Housewives// Play: //Romeo and Juliet// Book: //Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life//

3. Single vs. double negative - A single negative is an incorrect word in the sentence. And a double negative is the incorrect way how to say something, where you are saying the opposite of what you just said. ex. Single Negative: I ain't done with my ice cream, yet. Double Negative: I won't tell nobody.

4. When to capitalize grandma or mom - You only capitalize grandma or mom if it is part of someone's name or if it is the first word of a sentence. ex: "Mom says you shouldn't eat cookies before dinner." "Mommy Pat" "Grandma says she wants her teeth back." "Grandma Lilly"

Write a paragraph about what you read last night in Romeo and Juliet. Include in the paragraph at least three of the following:

a. comma with an introductory clause b. semi-colon c. appositive d. underlining or italicizing or quotation of title

Last night, on the book //Romeo and Juliet//, I read that Romeo had learned the news about his Juliet. He buys a bottle of poison from Friar John. He plans to drink it when he gets to Juliet's grave so his corpse can lay with hers. He goes to her grave, but then gets in a fight with Paris and kills Paris. He then drinks the poison and dies. Juliet awakens and finds Romeo dead and also Paris. She gets Romeo's knife and stabs herself to death. Friar Lawrence and Capulet and everyone else come and find the dead bodies of Romeo, Juliet, and Paris.

I thought that this last act (Act 5) was totally rushed; it was on Romeo's case, where he just learned that Juliet had died, and all of a sudden he had a bottle of poison and is soon by her grave. It was very sad that Romeo died, but it was also kind of heroic when he killed Paris, since he was fighting for Juliet. This last act, in my opinion, was the easiest to read and understand and also one of the most interesting. I liked this act because it had action, emotion, and intensity.

Before I saw the film Romeo and Juliet, I was thinking it would look really old and be a really long, boring film. But when I actually saw it, it wasn't as boring as I thought and it was in a better quality than I imagined. But I have noticed in the book, at the end of the story Romeo kills Paris but he does not in the film. Also, on the night that Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, I don't recall seeing Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Lord Montague, and so forth coming to the grave where they buried Juliet. The scene just skipped to the next morning with people in church attire marching. I thought the film was very interesting and kept me entertained. It was very dramatic and romantic, especially at the end where Romeo expressed he sadness for Juliet, while Juliet did the same when she woke up and saw a dead Romeo. It was also entertaining how there was also suspense how the Friar had to make a choice of whether to use all his force to drag Juliet out or leave her in the tomb before the guards came.

In chapters 1-3, it starts out introducing Candide and how his soul is very much like the character he shows. He gets kicked out of the castle he was living in when the king sees him and his daughter Cunegonde together. He meets up with two people and they show him kindess by treating him with a meal and give him money. Candide later gets arrested when he took a walk at the park one time and gets punished by the king but then is excused.

1. Read Checkpoints on page 17, then paraphrase. a. Remember, a paraphrase is NOT copying, but putting in your own words. How to do this? Read it, put it aside so you don't see the original, write, then double check to make sure you didn't plagiarize or mess up the meaning. b. Try to use one of the patterns in your paraphrase. 2. Exercises 1 and 2 on page 17
 * 1. _: the students all got A's on their papers.
 * 2. The dot-com companies have changed the work week:.

a. Patterns 1, 2, and 3 are not three different ways to construct sentences. The words all have different purposes ad the sentences do different tasks. Pattern 1 takes two statements that are very identical with their idea, but they are statements that you don't want to put as two separate sentences. Pattern 2 has a specific word in the first clause but does not use that word in the second clause. Pattern 3 states an idea in the first clause and then elaborates on it more in the second clause. For every compound sentence

Although there are horrible things in this world, such as weapons, deceit, and evil, this world may not be the best of all possible worlds, no we just have to accept it. There are "rays of hope" even in the worst of situations; Candide reunited with Cunegonde once, and he can surely do it again if he really wishes and works for it.

11 - 30 - 09

1. "Three diamonds, each worth three thousand pistoles", "Sir, I would lay my life down for you sooner than throw you in the dungeon."

This is a simple sentence. It is talking about the same topic in two separate sentences.

2. There are orders to arrest all foreigners hereabouts, but, leave it o me.

This is a compound sentence. This creates good sentence fluency because it has two sentences, that can stand alone, put together to create one whole sentence.

3. I have a brother in Dieppe, 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. (semi-colons as well as a comma or two)

This is a sentence that uses pattern 3, where you use a sentence fragment before a semi colon and then elaborate more on it after the semi colon. This creates good sentence fluency because after the semi colon comes the explanation of the sentence fragment.

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 complex sentence, and it creates good sentence fluency because it stays on the same topic, but expresses its different aspects in many different styles while still making sense.

12 - 2 - 09

1. "An essay traditionally has three major parts:" introduction, body, conclusion.

2. Salad, cake, ramen are my favorite foods.

3. Exhausted, drained, charmed, "the winner left the stadium feeling great."

Annie Charleswad. Bratty, but human. Can no one stop her selfish ways? During lunch, she eats at the lunch table farthest away from the rowdy bunch of naive, miscellaneous kids with her two best friends, laughing, enjoying, gossiping. Everyday, she, and everyone else at her school, wear the same clothing of blue jeans, red tank top, and black, worn-out converse, the trend of their school. For the first time in her life, however, in her history of attending Beverly Middle School even, she chose to wear blue jeans, black converse, but with a purple t-shirt.

Gasping and gazing at the new figure, everyone stared and could not believe their eyes. Horrified at what the mean things the kids will gossip about her, her two friends Mannie and Kate pulled her aside into the bathroom to shield themselves from the lively crowd. "Is there something wrong?" asked Annie. "Just because we pull you savagely into the bathroom doesn't mean there's anything wrong - of course there's something wrong!" Kate said, sarcastically. "Kate and I are just worried that you will get hurt by what these people say about your .. um, new style," said Mannie. Leaving right after her explanation of just wanting to try something new, be different, Annie made her way to first period and took a seat at the front of the room, not caring if anyone was talking about her.

Many kids that day were definitely gossiping about the new style. Not everyone was happy, however, for there was one person in the entire school who hated people who dressed differently and especially ones who start the new trend other than her; this girl was Ron Kannimare. "Over my dead body!" shouted Ron, getting a few people's attention. "Please, Ron! You'll bring up your blood pressure again! Just chill ..." pleaded her only friend, Martha. "Quiet down over there! We are taking a test!!" commanded a teacher from the classroom next door.......

Friends are people who are kind to you, loyal, and respectful. These thoughts are always on my mind whenever I am near the people who I consider my "friends", especially this one girl who I am keeping a special close eye on. Sure, she can be nice, but there are times when she is not so nice. I feel like I am a "second option" with her sometimes. When none of her other friends aren't around I am one of the only ones she can stick with. But other than that, I am ditched on the spot, totally ignored a majority of the time. I am left in the dust; disappointed, angry, envious. I always think she is not my friend anymore, but when we talk one-on-one, she is so nice that I can't put myself to push her aside, forget her, like my parents always say to do to people who do not treat you right. But I am one of those people who can get too attached and can't let go.
