Journal Entry 31: Compare and contrast Dogs

            The two animals I want to compare are two dos that was kept in my grandmother's house. One of them is call Bucky and the other one is call Jeremy. they are different gender, Bucky is a female and Jeremy is a male. Whenever I got home the one that will come to me and start jumping around was Bucky, but Jeremy was always quiet. He always lie down at the corner and just stay there. He never play with us, I think his original owner treat him badly, or he missed his original owner. Sometimes I think Bucky might be too energetic and annoying because he will keep jumping around and he will not get any tired. He will keep chasing you and sometimes he will even jump on you. Bucky and Jeremy are same type of dog, but Jeremy always stay in the corner and even during night time. He would rather stay in the dark cold corner and not go back to the cage to sleep. Sometimes Bucky barked a lot and annoy people, but Jeremy never barks and he is too quiet. People may have problem about him. Also, Bucky will play with it owner like me or other family members, he is very loyalty and he will bark to someone that he never met or etc. Jeremy was too quiet, stay in the corner and he doesn't care anyone walking beside him. I sometimes feel sad for him because he keep staying there without moving. Sometimes Bucky will run around and sometimes he will run outside the home and we have to sue the food and his favorite toy to get him back to the cage.

Journal Entry 30: Thanksgiving

          First I want to thank is my parents because they give me what I need. They gave me the best education and hoped that I would have a great future. Sometimes they yell at me because I didn't behave. I think sometimes I got yell at, but I am innocent. That is the first thing I want to thank. Second thing I wanted to thank it's my computer. My computer provided me information on homework. It also provided games for me to play when I'm bored. My parents always want to take away my computer, but I feel really sad. Sometimes computer can help me do homework fast and neatly. Like I can do homework by typing which is faster and the words is more neatly. Third thing I want to thank it's my bed. My bed gives me best comfortable feeling when I lie down. Sometimes it make me think a lot when I lie on my bed. When I woke up in the morning, I never want to leave my ed because I really want to stay on my bed. Also it makes me feel safe when I hide under my blanket. Top three are what I want to thank, because it provide me best area of living.

Journal Entry 29: Heroes Revisited

            My electronic dictionary say that a hero means " A person, especially a man, who is admired by many people for doing something brave or good." I think this one might be wrong because hero can be any gender but not especially man, I think that parts should be taken away. Also I think what could add on it should be the hero do not only do something brave or good, they could also do sacrifice. When someone was in an emergency, they would go up and save those people but he died at the end. People will think he/she will be a hero. The internet dictionary say the a hero means "a person admired for bravery, great achievements, or good qualities"I think this one is much better but still quite missing something. It does say all gender, but I think that there is one parts that it could be improve was that if they can add something about the hero's personality and what did they do to become an hero, basically I hope this definition could be more descriptive I think this definition is good enough, at least better than the previous one. I will prefer  definition number 2, because it basically talk about basic meaning of hero. I also found a different definition from "dictionary.com" "it means " a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." I think what could be take away from this definition is the noble qualities, a hero doesn't have to be rich. Like Harriet Tubman, she was not rich, but people still call her as a hero. Also it's doesn't have to be a man, it could be woman too.

Journal Entry 28: Great, Old Knowledge

            The story " In Trouble ", Paulsen say the dogs' had great, old knowledge; they had something we had lost. I think it means that human and animal had different knowledge. Also human and dog had very different skills, actually what we can do the dog can also do it. The dog had knowledge because they are smart and they are loyalty. Their great, old knowledge were they lick the parts that is injure, they had great smells, they are loyal to their master. I think that what we had lost is humanity, because we keep killing animal around for meats and we are not kind to other animals. I think that the old knowledge was that all they have survival instinct, they will try anything to live longer. They also can sense danger, like some animal will do certain reaction when there will be accident going on. Like when it going to rain, the swallow will fly very close to the ground and that means later it will rain. People found out that some animal had this sense that human can not learn, but human invented technology to find out what the weather will be like. Sometimes animal has it own skills on anything for it own living. Some animal could use special skills to hunt pray that other animal couldn't learn. Human could go to seven-eleven to buy what they needed, what happen if some day the world runs out of technology. I bet that the animal will live longer than human because they had natural skills.

Journal Entry 27: Animal v Human

            I think that animals can walk and live like human and the world might not have poluted, but their personality won't change. Like tiger or lion, they don't eat anything but meat, like horse or cow they only eat grass. You can see animal in zoo, forest. In the zoo the animal all are lazy sleeping. Tiger and lion don't catch animal anymore, because they get food everyday without hunting. They get lazy and lazier, the animal will lost it personality and natural skill if they always stay in the zoo. Some animals had feeling too, like dog or cat, I mean dog is the one that you keep as a pet, not the one on the street. As you treat them well, your pet will have feeling on you, they will think that you are part of his family or friend. Sometimes when you are sad, your dog will come to you and they will try to cheer you up, and you don't want to use them as your punching bag. Your dog sees you are sad, he come to you to cheer you up. When you are boring, the dog will want you to play with them by annoying you. Sometimes your pet will show you his or her feeling with the sound he make, when he is making sad sound, that means he want something or he is sad. When he is barking very angry, that means something he might not like or something is annoying him, so animal do have feeling and we just have to discover them by treating them well.

His skill is great too, but sometimes he will be depressed when someone talk about family stuff. John is very serious man and he always carry a pistol when he fight a war or etc. Sometime he will be picky on his weapon, because he use only pistol, he would never carry other weapon. One time he was save by WK when he was going to died, because he didn't know that his pistol's ammo is gone. WK has no expression on his face, he never smile and cry in his life. He is good at using sniper and rifle, one day he saved John and they become best friend. Kevi never fight in war before, but he build his own training camp that there are animated enemy for him to practice.

Journal Entry 25: EMERGENCY!

            The time I had a emergency was when I was first grade. The accident didn't happen but it was about to happen. I didn't feel anything that time because I was really young. I remembered that I was going to Japan and I  was in a plane. In the middle of the flight, the pilot use the broadcaster saying that the plane had flied through an air current and we are stuck in the current. Later people start talking about what will happen, I heard someone cried and the fly attendants came a calm him down. After a while of worried, the pilot say again, our plane had almost out of gas and we still trying to get out of the air current. People become more panic and some people run around the plane. I threw up because I drank to much soda and the vomit color was in brown. We finally flew out from the current and we had to went back to the closet airport around our location to fill the gas. We are save, but our trip was delayed and that makes a lot of people angry. I didn't fell any panic because I don't understand what did the pilot said. The other time I had a emergency  was one time there was a earthquake and my house was on the 11th floor, so it's more shaky then others. First I ran around my house and start screaming and I slipped on my clothes and tripped very badly. My father took me and my brother to the safest place in my house and we wait for the earthquake to stop. Every thing fall from the shelves. Lots of things came out and we had to clean it afterwards. That time I was so scary and panic, I don't know what to do plus my butt is hurt.

Journal Entry 24: Setting in Art

            The picture shows a sheep and a guy is behind the sheep. The sheep is eating something, the sheep is color in red orange. The guy is waving his hand in the picture and he is smiling. There is a blue chicken in the middle inside the sheep's stomach. At the background there are some houses and I think the man had a house in his hand. At the top of the sheep's horn, there is two people, there are a woman and a kid. I think the the man is working and he is thinking of his family. The color of this picture were color very cold, because the back ground are almost color bluish gray, but except for the main object of the picture. The man's face, the woman and the children and the sheep and chicken were all color in warm color. I think the drawer try to show us those character in the picture. I think I can feel very cold if I was in the picture because the weather is scary and it's dark all over the place. I think the man seems happy because he is smiling.You might smell animal because in the picture there are chicken and the sheep. I think this painting shows that the man was working very hard and he owns a chicken and a sheep. Both of the animal helps him earn money, and whenever the man feel depress, he will think of his wife and his kids. The painting is kind of lovely because the man is thinking about his wife and kids. That makes him work hard.

The antidotes was in a lab where the king zombie is guarding. When you play the game, your only weapon is pistol. You shoot and kill zombies to get money and points. Each check point has a  guy who sells gun to you. You will have to use the money to buy and upgrade weapons, and earn points to unlock cool weapons. The higher level you get, the amount of zombie will increase and they will get stronger, so it's very important to get better weapons.

When you fight with him, he will call zombies and attack you. Once you  kill the king zombie. You will find the antidotes, but the antidotes was ruin and destroy.

Journal Entry 21: Describe a Place You Know

            The place I want to describe is my room. Once you got in the room, you will smell the wood smell, because the floor of my room was made with wood. The first thing you see when you step in the room was my brother's closet. My brother usually don't close it, so you can also see my brother's clothes. You can see the window was beside my brother's closet. The window wasn't made really good, because when I was sleeping, you can still hear the car noise. The right of the window was my closet, I always close it, because I don't like people to see my clothes. Beside my closet is my brother's study table, he put a lot of things on the table, like food, or garbage. Most food he put it on was all overdue, because he always put left over food on the table. Once I accidently taste one of the food because I was real starving, it test like the mixture of pencil led and the food taste. I got stomach later that night, I hate my brother so much. Beside my brother's desk was his bed and my bed is beside him. My bed feel really comfortable that makes you sleepy once you lie on it. I am happy to have that bed too. By the bed was my door, is where we came in.

Journal Entry 20: The Influence of Setting

            I think that setting do affect the events in the story, because if your setting is that you are in the desert, the events can't say that the person was drown. It doesn't make sense, that is why setting affect the event. It suppose to match the event in order to make a setting. A setting should include time, place also location, when you have all of this, you pretty much make a setting already. There is a different version of three little pigs that I read, it took place in the woods far far away in the fart land. That is a setting that is not true, but they sue it a lot in fairy tales. This setting shows place and where it happened. My example of a story was if I was deep in the mountain in a cabinet. It was really dark outside and there is no one outside but me and my friends. If the setting was like that, the plot might say that we are attack by mosquitoes in midnight because it's deep in the mountain. That will show why setting and events depend on each others.
