Journal 39: Christmas Holiday

            Christmas is a holiday which Wu's families don't celebrate, but we are glad that there are vocation for us.  I don't think Christmas is that important to us and we don't celebrate it, because there is no room for Christmas tree in my house. Also we don't eat big meal during Christmas, maybe a bread bought from seven-eleven is big enough for us. We also don't have gifts during Christmas because we don't celebrate it, my grandparents don't even think about Christmas, all they think is important is Chinese New Year, so we don't have presents during Christmas. But in Wu's family we seem Chinese New Year very important, which we get big meals and lot of red envelope, and Chinese New Year is my favorite festival. We don't celebrate Christmas because my parents think it is not a important festival. In Taiwan, there is very few people who celebrate Christmas, also parents, they don't have vacation on work during Christmas, so we don't get to celebrate together and it become worthless, but Chinese New Year, there are vacation for workers and the workers can spend their time with their family. I think Christmas not important to me because it doesn't force me have to do something and I am happy about the school has vacation on Christmas. Local School also have vacation during winter, but they have it not because to celebrate Christmas but other reasons. The only reason I support Christmas is that PAS have vacation on Christmas.

Journal Entry 38: Mars

             Mars, a a planet, I don't really know about it, only heard of some rumors about mars. Like people found there are living things on Mars. Mars might not have living resources, but Earth has a lot. There are no water, sea in mars, so people will live together because there is no separation between people. Mars might have different resources that human can't use. If all the rumors they make is true, like grass, water on mars. Compare to the Earth today, they are cleaner than our planet. That is why we try to observe other planet, so we can live there one day. If Earth is down, human might move to mars. Human move to mars because their planet was ruined, almost ruin by them. Now humans still can't go to Mars, because it's too far away from us. We don't have enough fuel, water and food for the spaceship and astronaut. People say it will took three years just to go to Mars, Coming back took another three  year. There is not enough fuel and resources. If there are other living things than human on Mars. We might have war with them and they might win, cause they have ray gun and we have nuclear weapon. When people see mars, they can only see a ball made with rock, that is why human is still deciding weather live on Mars or not.

Journal Entry 37: Setting and Plot.

            If it's in 2005, the world might be peaceful and the friend that was on the beach is happy, because people don't fight each other anymore. It cause peaceful to the world, the person might be happy on the beach playing with people. The weather must be warm , and the area must be clean. The friend in England , that was from 100 year ago, people might have war these days. People lived in war zone and most of them were poor. If a setting is different the even in the story must be different. Like if you are set in the old days, you must not have a cell phone, because it's not invented yet. Also you can't say a person is sweating, if the setting is in North Pole, so it's very weird. One example of the story, if the three little pigs in the story, the big pig brother want to build a grass house, but he found out his setting is in North Pole, it is also impossible to say that the second pig want to build a tree house but he found himself at a desert, it's impossible. The setting of a story can change the event in the story. Your story setting and event have to match in order to make the story readable and sensible. When people write a story they should think of setting first than they could make their events, so they don't make that much mistake when they write.

Journal Entry 36: Writing is Difficult

          I think writing is difficult for me because I personal don't like writing, because it took a long time. Writing is very hard for me because my grammar suck and everything I wrote is trash or garbage. People say reading can affect how good you write, but I don't read, I never read any English written book. It's very hard for me to finish a book. When I read, I felt asleep after reading the first page, that is why I don't like reading, and it also means i don't like writing at all. Also writers need to have good hand writing so people will read what you write, for me I have very ugly hand writing and people blinded when they see my hand writing. Also I am not good at writing, because when you tell me to write something, it will took me weeks to finish it. If it's a essay, I might think should I do it or not. When I grow up, I rather picking trash selling gum at the train station rather being a writer. If I am a writer, no one will want to read my project, which i will get starve to death because i don't know how to write. People always do something that we think it's difficult, because they want to challenge themselves, which is a retarded way. They trying to act good in front of the adults and gets award, they are fact and stupid. Which I never do, I do something I can, I never cross my limit.

Journal Entry 34: Irony

            When people have very good life, everything is convenient, I think the reason people still want war because they are jealous and they want more good stuff. They rub other country and trying to get more from that country. Or the other reasons are that two countries are competing, they are trying to find which country has better people, and better resources etc. They will get into fight, which is war, and trying to destroy other country to be better. Later on it might lead to world war, cause all country in the world trying to prove they are the best and the country doesn't want to be involve was force to, other wise they will bomb your country. I feel really ironic because when all the people in the world has no problem on living, and they are trying to find trouble for themselves. If people do not have war, I think the world will be better. All people will hang out together and there are no argument. In these days, I think there might not have war going on except for some small countries' conflict. People used negotiate instead of fighting with guns and weapons, which is more polite and doesn't hurt both countries. War can cause lot of problem cause war makes separation between families. It also cause economic fall, because country spend all money on war stuffs. That is why I don't like war and people should not use war to solve problem. 

Journal Entry 33: My Invention

            If I have chance to invent something, I got the money and resources. I will want to build something that provide any foods. It can be a robot shapes, or a machine, but I think robot is more cool. The robot can move around and you can call him when you need them. The function will be that you can order any food you want. You can talk to the robot and he will provide foods. The food will come out from the robot's stomach, the stomach part of the robot will open and there is the food. You can also make new food out of it, as long as you can describe them. You can say I want a noodle with some marshmallow and some hot sauces. The robot can provide any kinds of food, as long you can describe them. The other invention I want to invention I want to invent is a machine that can put you shirt and pants on, which it is very awesome to have cause a lot people worried about what they are going to wear today and they are lazy when they put their clothes on. The machine will be shape like a tube and you can see inside. Beside there is a small computer and you can set your clothes set to the machine. You can chose some shirts and put them together and save them into the machine. Next time you just have to walk into the tube and click start button and the shirt will be cloth on your body. That is the two machines that I want to invent if I can invent.

Journal Entry 32: Modern Technology

             I think what the world will happen after a hundred years from now, it would be very convenient I guess. Maybe we don't have to work to live, because we might not need money because it becomes so easy to get anything we want. Maybe by the time come, the robots will be invented, which can solve lots of problems. They can do things such as cooking, house keeping, or even work for us. Robot sometimes can be too smart and they start fighting back, like in those movies, the robots attack the humans because they start to think why they are obeying humans. Other things like transportation, maybe we don't need gasoline cars anymore, because humans have invent something that don't need gasoline and can travel faster and longer. Maybe we don't even need cars, we could have teleporter, we can teleport to anywhere we want, which save times and safer. For communication, now, people invent phones for us, so we don't have to talk to a person without visiting them. Right now people are inventing the cellphones's chips smaller and smaller. Maybe in the future, our cellphone could be located anywhere we want, such as watch, glasses or even your wallet. One day you can talk to your friend if you have your watch with you, which is very convenient. So people invent stuffs for us to make life better, we can get cool stuff because of them, we should give a big thanks to those inventor which changed our lives.
