so far From The Bamboo Grove Final Post

1. I think the ending was a happy ending just like almost every book but even do I like the ending Iwanted the book to say how waas there life before hideyo fin d yoko and Ko. I wanted to know if they went back to there house in korea and Yoko got to go to school and Ko to high school.


I fealt really happy for Yoko and Ko to fing there honorable brother againg but I also felt bad because there dad return from a prison camp after SIX YEARS LATER. when she was about eighteen years old. and because there mother died and AND they loost there beatiful house.

2. I think the kawashima family are still keepin there tradition because the fact that they loost all there belongies and there home they don't want to loose there traditons as a family.

and even do Ko and Yoko are not with there family I think they still want to keep all there family traditions and I think that hope them to remember family times and it makes them a little by sad because is a family tradition and they are not with there family but I think it is may by hope in them to think more and more that there honarable brother and dad are still alive.

3. In So Far From The Bamboo Grove I think I respect and admire Ko the most because she trues really hard to do what her mom would had wanted her to do after she died, because she is really responsible and do as much as she can to have at least one or two meals a day and she cares about her honarable sister Yoko alot and she is also really willing to do everything for her and cares if people at her school do to her like when they laugh when she gets out the paper from the trash can.

4. I learn that people in Korean or Japan don't cares about others they only care about there selfs. and i also learn that they have a really hard heart because if they had to killed someone they would just do it right away and that some people only care about people there own race for example: when some means were rapping girls wich it is really gross and sad .

5. I learn that I should never make fun of someone just because they dress alot different them my and are really poor or don't have money to by at least a pair of shoes or there school materials at least a notebook and still of my laughin of them because they were picking up the trash from the floor or the trash i could hope them and give them some of mine. because people in my class were being stupid and trough plain withe paper away in still of giving it to someone that needs it or keep it and used it better them for trough in into peoples head or something .

So Far From The Bamboo Grove p o # 4

1.  I think Yoko wants to help Mr. Naido because he understand her and  it seems to my like Mr. Naido had the same experience before and he knows the way she feels about the girls at school making fun of her about the way she looks.

2. I don't think Yoko likes the idea of Ko about the money the they have left from there mother, but after Yoko see how much ko is working to help her and feed her she understand everything alot better or at least most of it, better and she appreciates what KO is doing for her and star working for what she wants like selling little clothes and earning her own money to by a new pair of shoes.

3. do you think Mr Naido had the experience about people being mean to him when he was little by the way he is hope in Yoko. (Even do that is not the only reason he is hope in her.)

So Far Fom The Bamboo Po # 3

1 . ko, yoko and their mother decided to leave the train station because there are alot scary stuff going on like. Japanese girls are getting reape by old means and in Japan they can have somewhere to live until they get there own house and Yoko can attend school and Ko and there mother can get a job and they can may by meet Hideo againg.

2. If I was one of them or with them I think I would have decide ton leave the train station too because I would not want to see means reaping girls and I think I would by really scare and i would by thinking what would happen if they found out that I am a girl and I think if they go to japan they would by alot safer.

2. Do you think hideo and yoko, ko and there mother would get together againg and hideo would get hes energy back some how so he can keep walking?

So Far From The Bamboo Grove #2

I  think the hideo is very strong, he cares about his family and other people,he is also very smart, he is  the leader of the family when hes father is not around he really cares about her ko and yoko as hes sisters.

I would take extra clothes, food and water, 2 books, a blanket, my ipod something to wash my face and may by a photo album and does all because I know i would not by able to walk miles and miles with a heavy backpack.

I think the most choking part is when they trough the dead baby out of the window in front of the baby's mom.

Reading Respond ( twilight)

1.) so far in twilight from what I have read is about these girl  

Bella that move to her dads house in Forks Washinghton. after living with her mom she stars 

a new school and almost a new life because alot stuff are different for her after she moved with her dad sha has to get ustod a new wheather, friends and rules. and  her dad seem to really loved her. and the reason why I think these is because he give her a new car after she was gone buy it with her own money and he tells her that he just want her to by happy and also because of that way he recived her when she moved to live with him and because of that way he treats her.

2.) a sentence in these book that really got my attention is when Bellas mom emails about three times and bella dosent respond because she was t school and she says ( why haven't you email me yet? what are you waiting for?)

because it shows how much her mom loves her and really wants her back.

So Far From The Bamboo Grove

1. Yoko seems to really love her family and she seem to really like her mother. she also seem to really care about her family and other people. she doesn't like to by bossed around by her sister KO she is a little lazy and gets tired alot. and sometimes she is a little selfish for example when she didn't waned the lady on the train to used her blanket.


2. Yoko and KO are good sisters. Yoko calls Ko bossy but she doesn't releazi the she is only bossy sometimes because she wants her to by safe which i think that is really Nice from KO.


3. I think the kawashima family is really patient about being in a train with a bunch of sick people and they realize that they are really lucky for being in that train even do they are not sick .

total pages read this week: 1 - 142

- This book is about a girl whos dream is to by 30. She wants to by part of the six most popular girls at her school. and one mornig she wakes up with a complety different life. she is living in an awesome apparment with a big closet that is filled with awesome clothes and she is working for one of her favorite magazine when she was thirdteen and she has celebrity friends.

but the same mornig when she gets up and she is thirdteen she is totally confused about all that stuff that are going on. and even do she is thirty she is only in the outside because in that inside she is the same 13 year old teenager and while she is thirty she had made bad decions wich she needs to change them into right decisons and that only way she can do that is by finding her best friend matt because he is that only person that knows what to do but by the time she finds him is grown up too and he dosen't seem to by that same person she knew when she was a teenager.

the wave

1. I think this quote means not to fallow people when they are doing something that it is rong even if they are your friends because you would have to pay some consecuenses with them and it is better not to follow people and follow what it is right to do.

2, I think that wave change robert alot because he though that wave was making him fealing better and he was just like every single kid at school.

3.  think the that wave was been fascism in that fact that they were not respecting the people that were not joing the wave.

4. If my friends for example were truying to do something and they true to get my into it with them or for them I don't think i would do it because I always think before I do or say something and I know how much my parenths would get disapoiment of my and I really don't like when that happens i like them to feal proud of my and I also do what i think is righ and something like that I don't think is right for my to do it.

Comments

wave # 5

1 I did't see a question on ms I blog

2 Asentence that it really got into my was when david push laurie into that grass and them he apologize
on page 114 i think is about in that top of that page or the middle. well I chose this sentence because righ awy wen
i read that part of that book it really got into my head like I could image everything it was happenig because the author was really specefic.

3 Do you agree with mr Ross wife Cristi about talking to that principal and tell him that the
wave is gone stop and if you were on gordon high would you by a member of that wave why or why not?
why or why not?

chap. 11 -14

1 I think mr ross is think in to stop the wave because it is going to far. by they kids missing some of theyre classes and also when robert ask him that hi want it to by his bodyguard and toll him he need it one or something like that he toll mr ross.


2 When david toll laurie ( how does it feal not to be the best anymore?')
and he tells her why don't you find your self a smart boyfriend. is cain that sad for laurie because she is may by fealing like david does't really care anymore about they're relationship. i pick this sentence because right away I started thinking what was laurie fealing in the moment and i thought it was sad.

3 Why do you think robert want's to by mr ross bodyguard?.

The Wave #3

1 I think when people were starting to dich some of their clasess to go to mr ross for the wave and by leting everyone by a member of the wave and by letting who ever want's to by on it is when they are lost control of it.


2 A sentence of this three chapters that really got my attention is when it say's "I don't know if anyone knows enough about it to write about it yet, laurie say" and after that alex say "'what do you mean are you on it something like that he said, well i chose this sentence or paragrafh because it confuse me alot in that moment i stop reading and thoungh that i was reading rong or understanding something rong becasue i though alex was a memeber of the wave but after all i really notice what was going on.

3 How do you think the students woul't react if the principal woul'd say to mr ross that he does't want old the wave stuff at the school anymore?
(is your opinion)

Part 2 Of The Wave

1 ) The football team want's to include other people besides the people in the history class with Mr. Ross's because it would help them win some of the football games by getting the football team to be more like a team and work harder.

2 ) On page 31 I chose (Disclipline begins with posture) as my sentence because it make me think that he was really trying to get the students to learn about discipline the way it came to my mind and I think high schoolers really need the lesson. I know that from the days I go to my mom's school.

3 ) Why did Mr Ross pick the wave as their named?

The wave

I think this book takes place about on the 1960's on some of the characters houses and the Gordon High School

b) my quote is "so why not wait till college" on page 20 inthe really end of the page on the 2 last line .i chose this quote because it made my think about alot and them i stop reading i though about that and it also think the the author is may by trying to tell people why no wait tell college
because i think the is an import think to do in your life .

why do think amy thinks the laurie's boyfriend is strange?

about my

Betty Ann

well this story has been my favorite story we had read so far this year and the sate's part of it, for my it is when they said she was there maron, polack and there village idiot. and when she found the note in her lettuce because i don not think they should treat person like that and the it's really inrespecfull.

if my friends or somebody aus would act like MARGIE did i would tell them to stop because i know if i was on the possition i would't like it at all.

what the author of this story is truying to tell people it's to think before you act and respect other's opinio's

Seventh Grade By: Gary Soto

on this story a part the really got my attention was the part where the author wrote (Michael said, scowling.French how bout you?" Spanish. i anit so good at it, even if i am Mexican . i am not the good at it something like that because allot of people thing i am really good at it and i would by perfect on spanich class i am not the good at it because sometimes i fer get how to spell and on this part i also connected allot because of the same reason.

Test respond

one of the sentence the may my go back and read it and i got confuse was went it says how do any of us know? it .
i don't think the goverment should do the hypothesis or wethever is call because what happen if it affect them with something and it makes then not drive no more.

what i think about iThe phrase "How do any of us know?" from the uniformed man. I think that the uniformed man is being sarcastic. The ending to me is like a to be continued ending and it gets the reader curious and makes then want to know more about the story.
