I read the very first chapters of the book, Memoirs of Geisha, and I decided to change my world literature book. One of the reason is because it focuses too much on the topic of Japan's geisha culture, and also because I felt uncomfortable reading this book because there were scenes that were inappropriate. **OK.

I have gone that evening to Capulet's party to see mine lady, Rosaline. But among the maskers, I saw one beauty that shone among the others; she was a diamond set against the night sky, and a dove among the crows. True beauty did I find, and love that I felt for Rosaline was no love compared to this. Our hands and lips prayed, one sinned, one pure. As I took back the sin that was purged to her, we prayed again. But after such affair did I realize she was a daughter of a Capulet. I should have known when my dream warned of the genesis of my dreadful term. But 'tis too late, for my heart has already been stolen by her, and I know not how to forget. **NICE INCLUSION OF THE LANGUAGE FROM THE PLAY. MORE IMPORTANT, NICE LANGUAGE OVERALL.

 * __Day 22: October DOL Review__**

1. Comma with an introductory adverbial clause Rule: Comma is placed after the introductory adverbial clause if it's at the beginning of the sentence, but comma is not placed if the adverbial clause is in later part of the sentence. Example: In the afternoon, we went to the bookstore to buy the English class novel.

2. Underlining (or italicizing) of tv series, tv episode, movie, short story, play, book Rule: TV series, movies, plays, and books are italicized, but tv episodes and short stories are in quotation marks. Example: I'm reading a book called, //Catching Fire// by Suzanne Collins.

3. Single vs. double negative Rule: Do not use double negative; if you use double negative, you're reversing the meaning of the sentence. Example: No one in our class didn't go to the museum. (incorrect) No one is our class went to the museum. (correct)

4. When to capitalize grandma or mom Rule: Words such as "grandma" and "mom" are capitalized when they are referred/called "grandma" and "mom" Example: Did Grandma asked you to bring a magazine?

5. all right vs. alright //regardless vs. irregardless// alot vs. a lot Rule: All right is used when saying that everything is "well", and alright is used when asking for permission. There is no such word as irregardless because regardless already means "without regard/consideration." There should be a space between "a" and "lot". Example: "Are your kids all right?" "It is alright with you if I go out to dinner with my friend?"

6. commas with an appositive with the proper noun first Rule: Comma is not used after the pronoun when it comes in front of the appositive. Example: //Avielle of Rhia// a fantasy novel is written by Dia Calhoun.

7.commas with an appositive with the proper noun second Rule: Comma is used after the appositive if it's placed before the proper noun. Example: A renowned Japanese geisha, Nitta Sayuri is the protagonist of the novel, //Memoirs of a Geisha//.

8. Enunciation -- should have rather than should of Rule: People get confused with "should have" and "should of" because they sound similar, but "should have" is the correct way to say and write it. Example: I should have asked her to come to my house.

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
 * __Day 23:__**

In the last act of //Romeo and Juliet//, Friar John, a fellow Franciscan friar of Friar Lawrence, failed to deliver the letter to Romeo; officials of Mantua suspected that the friar came from a place where the plague spread, and sealed the city gate. When Romeo heard of Juliet's unfortunate death, uninformed of Friar Lawrence's plan he bought a poison and headed for Verona, prepared to join Juliet in death. At night, Romeo arrived at her vault and there he found Count Paris.

For the first two weeks or so, I spent most of my time reading the required novels for the Battle of the Books competition; I teamed up with another freshmen student, Erin Kim and we decided that each of us read all the required books: //Paper Towns, Hunger Games, The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks//. The third week I traveled to Australia with my family. Before the trip I tried to get some work done for biology and world history, but such attempt was fruitless with all the amusing distractions of no-school-life. In Australia, we traveled to Sydney and Brisbane visiting the opera house, Saint Mary Church, Lone Pine, etc. Of all the food I tasted from Kangaroo meat to Shark fin fries, I liked passionfruit gelato: my brother, lychee gelato.
