** Jane C: During the winter break, I cut my hair; went to hakwons; went skiing. My haircut was very simple : not so short that anybody noticed. My mom wanted me to cut my hair way shorter, but I refused. Even though I thought there was a big difference, my brother told me that nothing was different. The hakwons were very boring, but I think that I learned a lot going there. I went skiing for a week with my family and family's friends, and it was lots of fun. I hope that next year's winter break would be as exciting! **

January 6, 2010 As soon as winter break started, my family and I left to Jeju Island. (1)__The plane ride was very short; it took less than an hour to arrive on the tropical island__. At first, I was bored, and felt like this holiday was going to be like that the whole way. But surprisingly I found the trip fun as our family went on (2)__peaceful walks, ate lots of good food, visited the beach__. Although the (3)__cold weather and the biting wind and the many tourists__ brought many downsides to our trip, the scenery was beautiful and totally worth it.(4) __My favorite part of the trip was going to the small restaurant down the street from our hotel: it had the best sashimi that I had ever tasted, the fish still fresh from the sea__. When we returned back to Seoul, I was happy to be home, but I would miss the cool breeze of the Jeju Island.

December 9, 2009** "Hey," Fred cried. I turned around, __alert, watching, careful__; I was in a rush. "Just wanted to say hi," Fred said. Kicking Fred hard in the shin, I quickly walked back in the direction I had come. Looking back, I saw Fred following me through the busy school corridor. Many students were trailing papers behind them in a scuffle, trying to get to their next class on time - just like me. Nobody was a calm as Fred, cruising through the halls, slowly following me. __Oh, it started this morning when Fred needed money to go out with his girlfriend; deciding that I was going to provide that money for him__. Panting, I finally turned around said, "Fred, I'm //not// giving you money; please leave." Quite the gentleman, Fred replied, "Don't worry man, I'll get it out of you." Random, but disturbing. Still determined not to give Fred his money, I turned around and started running to the calssroom. Then, Fred, the football star, jumped onto me digging into my jacket, where he knew where my wallet was. Under that 100 pounds of muscle, I couldn't do much; I __squirmed, squiggled, struggled__, but it was no use. Various techniques were applied, but unfortunately all failed. We lied there on the now deserted corridor, while Fred robbed his best friend, me, of all his money for his girlfriend. "Xie xie" Fred shouted, meaning thank you in Chinese. "You suck you know that?" I hollered behind him. Zealous, Fred skipped down the to his next class, while I still lied on the corridor floor, devastated. A few seconds went by, and the late bell for class rang. Breathing heavily, I ran to my class. Cursing Fred under my breath, I got through with the class and walked into the cafeteria with murder in my eyes. Dramatically, I stomped over to Fred's table and shouted, "Fred, GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!" Eventually, after looking at the expression on my face, Fred handed back my money grumbling, "Geez man, it's just a few bucks." Finally I had my money back!

Response to James's Key Question: I liked the points that James made in his answer to the key question; he related how it was not the best of all worlds because there are wars and money problems. Some examples that he mentioned were: if there are bloody wars on 'useless things', and if the world is all working hard to earn money, and still the money's not distributed evenly, then certainly it is not the best of all worlds. James was able to make his points very clear, and the whole answer was easy to understand.

Paraphrase p.17: We have learned about three different sentence patterns of this chapter; they work with linking two independent clauses together with different types of punctuation. We can use pattern 1 when we need to talk about two different statements that are related to each other, using a semi colon. Pattern 2 is used when linking two parallel statements together, so that in the second half of the sentence, the verb can be left out. Pattern 3 is when you state a general statement then an explanation of that statement using a colon.

So far, we have learned about basic sentence patterns involving the order of the verb, subject, direct object, and preposition. We also learned to go identify the different parts of the sentence. Recently, we have learned how to combine several sentences with semi colons and commas with the help of several conjunctions.

Compared to the book,I think that the movie makes the story more simple and doesn't portray a whole lot of fate. The scene where Romeo bought the potion was left out, even thought that was very important. The movie does not include the scene where Paris and Romeo fight at all, but I think that was Paris's fate that he dies, and that event triggered the watchmen coming, because in the book, it was Paris's page that called the watchmen after hearing strange noises inside her tomb.. Also, the movie has Friar John arriving just when Romeo and his man is leaving, and I think that is fate, but a different one that the book has shown. The book shows that Friar John got held up somewhere so he didn't even arrive at Mantua.

Day 23: Write a paragraph about what you read last night in Romeo and Juliet.
 * October 15, 2009**

Last night, I read __Romeo and Juliet__, and so much happened! Balthasar, Romeo's man, went to Mantua to tell Romeo of Juliet's 'death'. Of course, we know that it was a faked death, but because Father John got held up, Romeo had no way of knowing that! Alarmed, Romeo rushes to the graveyard where Juliet is lying, and prepares to die by her side; then suddenly, Paris comes out of his hiding place and challenges Romeo to a duel. Pari's page watches, scared, and calls the watchmen of the graveyard. But when they get back, they find Paris slain, Romeo holding poison in his hand, and Juliet with a dagger through her heart, just dead with war blood flowing out of her. Friar Lawrence finally explains the love between the two, and how the family feuds had torn them apart. With sadness in their heart, the Capulets and the Montagues decide to call a truce.

4. When to capitalize grandma or mom > When you say //my// mom or //my// grandma, you don't have to capitalize it but when you just refer to your mom as Mom, then you have to capitalize it because that symbolizes their name. > ex) "Hey Mom, I'm bringing over a friend to our house this afternoon!"

5. all right vs. alright //regardless vs. irregardless// alot vs. a lot > all right vs. alright: ALL RIGHT is correct, and it means 'acceptable, satisfactory work' as an adjective. > ex) His work was all right. > regardless vs. irregardless: irregardless is informal, and the word does not actually //exist,// and you should say not regardless. > ex) She was determined to finish her task, regardless of the storm. > alot vs. a lot.: a lot is correct, and it means a considerable amount. > ex) I have a lot of homework tonight.

6. commas with an appositive with the proper noun first > When the proper noun comes first in an appositive, there has to be a comma after and before the proper noun. > ex) //Romeo and Juliet//, the play by Shakespeare, is coming to Korea.

Dear Diary, Today I have met the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I crashed the Capulets' party to look for Rosaline, a beauty for sure, but oh, this masked beauty! Her dress flowed around her and framed her beautiful body. I think that I may have found the love of my life. But as I was leaving the party, I found out that she was the daughter of Capulet, our family's long-lasting foe. What am I to do! I have fallen in love with my family's enemy! But it is true love, and I must not be discouraged. I am certain that she feels the same about me. I must see her again, and hold her in my arms! My friends may laugh at me once again, but it's only because they have never felt this way! I am in love! **THIS IS PERFECT. I LOVE THE CHANGED ATTITUDE ABOUT ROSALINE. NICE WORD WITH "CRASHED."

September 9, 2009** What is a sonnet? A sonnet is a 14-lined poem that contains ten syllables in each line. There is a certain pattern in Shakespeare's sonnets, and it goes in an ABAB CDCD EFEF GG format. In Act 1 Scene 5, Romeo speaks in a sonnet format to Juliet, when they first meet. (Line 104)

World Literature Journal So far, __The Strangers__ has been a pleasant book with light moods and interesting characters, but almost no plot at all. The main character has been describing to us the surroundings around him and all the other important characters of the book. I know that this is supposed to be a mystery novel, but no mysteries have occurred yet... It's been easy to follow, and straight forward. The main character's life is very interesting, and so are his neighbors. Like Old Slamander who always beats his dog, but when it goes missing, he is worried sick and confesses what a good dog he was. I think the organization of the novel is very well done. One thing I don't like about the book is that because it is a translation, the sentences do not flow in a natural way. Or maybe that's just the mood of the book. Lots of sentences are very choppy, and they all start with "I". I kind of think it's unique, but it makes it harder to follow. **I REMEMBER THE BOOK AS CHOPPY TOO. YOU MIGHT CONSIDER CHECKING OUT A DIFFERENT TRANSLATION, JUST TO SEE IF THAT is THE PROBLEM.**
