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.

Short Answer – Do all questions

1. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first published in: 1846

2. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn can best be described as: A fairytale of the reallity in the old days.


3. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer each received 6000 dollars when they found money that the robbers had hidden in the cave:
4. Huck’s father returns because he: wants Huck’s money.


5. When Jim first sees Huck Finn on the island, he thinks Huck: wanna catch him, and take him, and send him back to Mrs Watsson.


6. Jim runs away from Miss Watson because: they talked about to sell him to a the slavery slave-trader in New Orlands, for $800.

8.   Mark Twain’s approach to the issue of racism in Huckleberry Finn is that: All the slaves were black. We’re the same people, if we’re black or not. Jim were black, and they wanna to sell him to the slavery.

Day 18 – Death in the Barn

Lennie is too strong, and he cant contol his strength. He is a little retard. Nobody would leave him alone, because they would safe that he were going to kill some other animals. An adult men should be together with him when he is together with  animals and womens, because he is too stong, and had not control over his strenght. Lennie is a nice and kindly man, but sometimes it says ‘click’ in his head, and then he’s not a certain type. I thing Curley and his wife must let him to do what he want, but he must have to have some to look after him. Everytime.

day 17 – The tree trestle who were going to London for shopping

The tree trestle who were going to London for shoppinge trestle

Once upon a time there was tree trestles who were going over the London bridge for shopping. They were going to buy new clothes and just spend some money. The biggest trestle had most money of them all. Then, it was the middle one, and of course, the smallest one, who had the smallest amount. But if they were going on shopping, did they have to come over the bridge.

Firs came the first and smallest trestle; trip trap,trip trap. Then sudden a voice shouted loud “who’s the brave one who dear to walk over my bridge?!!”. The small trestle answer with a faint voice “I’m the smallest tresle who are going to London for shopping..”. “Now I’m coming up to rob you!” , said the monster. “No, please! Rob the next one, he is much more richer then me, rob him!” said the small trestle. “O.K! let go”, said the monster, and disappeard under the bridge.

So, after a while came the second and the middle one. Trip trap, trip trap. ” Who’s the brave one who dear to walk over my bridge?!!” asked the monster. “I’m the middle trestle who are going to London for shopping” said the trestle. “Now I’m coming up to rob you!!” said the monster. The middle trestle became more and more scared and said “No, please! Rob the next one, he is much more richer then me, rob him!”.” O.K! let go”, said the monster, and disappeard under the bridge again.

Again, after some minutes came the last, biggest and richest one. Trip trap, trip trap. “Who’s the brave one , who dear to walk over my bridge?!!”, said the monster. The big trestle answer with a deep voice ” I’m the biggest tresle who are going to London for shopping”.  “Now I’m coming up to rob you!!”, said the monster. The biggest tesle said with a deep voice “No problem, come and kick my ass!” The biggest trestle have been that smart to take out the cash from the bank, and into a big, black and abrupt case.  The monster came up, and stared to fight for the money, then, the trestle came up with his case and made a  BIG BANG, and the monster were lieing dead under his ugly bridge.

Now, it was time to spend some money in itself London city.   The end

Day 16 – Sentence with preposition

Today, at the party, I came with my best friend.

We were at the museum last week.

For about two years ago, we were one of the rich children in the street.

I was lying in my bad, until my mom came and yell at me.

During the last day and night, I was not sleeping.

Before I used to sleep under my bed.

I and my friends cam into trouble.

We were on a mountain-trip today.

Before, when I was at the age of ten, I were in Spania.

 I want to budge to London.

Day 15 – Happy or rich?

 I had probably chose happy. If you take a look at Amy Winehouse and Britney, you would probably not chose rich. It’s better to be happy than rich, because if you want something, you can save money for the thing and buy it, and you would also have the pleasure for it. If you are rich you’ll don’t have the pleasure for the thing, because you would be used to it. If you look at people in Africa, with Hiv and Aids, would you see that they are happy for the food, and to play football.

If you look at Paris Hilton, that she often change cars, buy new clothes every day, is often on party, also wasted her money etc. If I had been so rich, I would give some of the money to people in poor countries. Like people with Hiv and Aids and that stuff. Also to a good case.

People in Hollywood today is wasted their money! They take plastic surgery to become perfect, and because they are scared of wrinkles. They are thinking most of themself, not others. I’m not shore if Victoria Beckham do it, I never talk to her, but she live like a princess. Buy rings for many thousands of money.
