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.

Christine was talking to her sister. "Did you know that I love apple pie? Even if it is fattening, it's my favorite food! Frankfurt sausages are good too!" Going to study, her sister replied to Christine. "Hashbrowns, pizza, cheeseburgers,hotdogs, sandwiches, fried chicken, stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, twinkies are the best foods in the world. Igloos are a good place to eat them!" Just when Christine's sister finished speaking, their mother entered through the door. "Kings!" her mother shouted. "Lost the battle!" she shouted again. "Mother, what are you talking about?" the children inquired. "Never mind, it's nothing to worry about. Oh, just go watch Peter Pan!" her mother replied. Peter Pan was a show that the children enjoyed watching. Quickly, they sat down in front of the television. Recently, they had bought a new wide screen television. So, they watch television everyday. Together, they gather in front of the television and gaze at its wonders for an hour. Until now, the family had never watched television, so they were amazed at what the television could do. Victoriously, they bragged about their new television to all their neighbors. With many watchful eyes, the family made sure that their television was safe. Xylophones were played every 10 minutes as a warning for neighbors to mind their own business. Youths still tried to get a glimpse of the television. Zealously, they jumped in front of the window. And they knocked at the door numerous times. But they were all very unsuccessful, and Christine could eat her apple pie in peace.

Tuesday, Nov. 24 Response to James' Key Question I don't understand how you think Eldorado's mention in Chapters 18 and 19 make Candide's world not the best of all possible worlds. Wasn't Eldorado basically the "best of all possible worlds" where everyone was happy and content with their lives? However, I do agree with you about the sheep being the "rays of hope." and yes, Cunegonde is almost the only "ray of hope" Candide has as the book progresses. It seems like Candide gains strength when he thinks about Cunegonde.

Monday, Nov. 23 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. Read Checkpoints on page 17, then paraphrase.

Pattern 1: If there are two sentences that are related to each other and you do not want to separate, then you can simply place a semicolon between the sentences; it makes it easier for the reader.

Pattern 2: If you have one sentence that is implying something, and another sentence that is implying something very similar (usually the verb), then you can put a semicolon after the first sentence and leave out the verb in the second sentence.

Pattern 3: If your second statement expands upon your first sentence, you can put a colon after the first sentence and before the second sentence. **

Day 24: After Watching the Scene I noticed that the movie was changed in some parts: Romeo didn't go to the apothecary, and he didn't fight Paris) Still, I think watching the scene gave me a better idea of how the scene was really like. Just reading the text, I couldn't really notice the sadness of Romeo and Juliet, but after watching the scene I saw how sad they were to have lost each other. Also, when Friar Lawrence as rushing out of the tomb because the watch came, he seemed a little hurried and cowardly in the movie-almost as if he was betraying Juliet and leaving by himself. On the other hand, when I was reading the play, I got more of the feeling that Friar Lawrence was leaving reluctantly.

Day 23: 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, I read the last act of __Romeo and Juliet__, the famous English play. After reading the book, I was stunned by what had happened; it was full of twists and turns. Sure I knew that Romeo and Juliet were going to die at the end of the book, but I've never imagined it to be this way! I also thought that the ending was a little short. I've always imagined that the ending, where the families reconcile, would be very long and touching, but it was rather short. In fact, I thought that everything went a little fast from Paris' to Juliet's death. I felt sorry for the friar too...It wasn't his intention to kill Romeo and Juliet, but the deaths were sort of his fault. If I was him, I would have felt so bad knowing that I could have been the one who caused this.

From the Perspective of Juliet Today the dance party that my mother planned out so carefully took place. Of course, I didn't care at all about the dance party. I just danced, ate, drank. But that was until I met the handsome Romeo. He approached me as I was going to take another drink and kissed my hands! I felt my insides go all fuzzy but I didn't admit it, of course! I played the game along with him...... NICE START. LOVE THE START OF THIS.**

Day 10 Journal Entry I started reading //The Book Thief// because I was told it was a good book by Mrs. Porter. After reading it for a couple chapters, I was enchanted by the way it tells its story. I didn't realize it in the beginning, but the narrator of the story is actually Death himself. Therefore, the narrator relates a lot of things and people to death. Although I did not come across a definite climax in the book, I still was drawn to the peaceful and smooth way the story is told. Not only does the book has smooth flow, it also gives very detailed descriptions on how life was for a little girl in Nazi Germany. And I look forward to reading the rest of the book and see what happens to Liesel!:) **ISN'T IT WILD HOW PEACEFUL THE BOOK SEEMS AND YET DEATH IS THE NARRATOR?**
