2. He was born in February 27 in 1902.

3. The Pearl, East of Eden and Cannery Row, were made into movies in Hollywood.

4. He wrote the novel Mike and Men in 1937. It was in 1937 it was published.

6. Lyndon B. Johnson.

day 21 – Caught in a Viscious Circle

1. Cordelia: She is the new student in school. She is evil. She decide what people should do, and no one can do that to her, and makes fun of her. She is depended on her friends, but she ’ like them at all, she hate them.

Elaine: She is a kind 14 year old girl. She is one of the caught in a viscious circle. She get quickly influence by her bad “friends”, also Cordelia. Cordelia choose always Elaine,  it’s always Elaine who gets in trouble with Cordelia. Sometimes her friend too.

Carol: She is Elaine’s friend. She is a good person, but is bossed around, like Elaine. She is a seriously person, who takes things seriously. Maybe she’s become a evil person?

Grace: She’s almost Cordelia’s slave, like treats her like a puppet. If Cordelia give Grace a favor, she do what she’s got to do.

Elaine’s mother: I think her mother knows more then Elaine think she does. She’s cares for her, and I think she wants Elaine do find new and good friends.

2. I think he’s trying to tell you that you can’t let other people decide what you are going to do or not. Like, if any tells you to smoke, you don’t have to, and you can decide by your own. For example, if your friends start to smoke, you don’t have do start too, if you don’t like it at all, you can find new friends.

3. I think the story was quite good. It describes the commune, like it is today, and I hope people will understand that they don’t need to do what others do. And I hope people will learn to take their own choice (as I don’t think they would do). Maybe..?

Day 20 – Huckleberry Finn

1.

Question number 7: I think Huck did not searching for any famely. Not a real famely, but maybe some good people he could call a famely.I think he was looking for new friends too. Not infront of his other friends, but new friends. People who could be with him, and care about him. Since he not were going to school, did not have clean clothes and a sheeny face, he was not used to be take cared of, so I thing it was most right to let him decide what he wanted to do by himself. Let him decide his own choice.

I thing Huck learn that money isn’t the most important thing. You can be happy with and without money, the most important is that you’re happy. Huck meat many new kindness people on his escape, and maybe he maybe learn that really good friends is better than a famely.
