#25 Your group novel overall

Christopher finally met with his mom and Roger.(Her new husband) She was really kind and gentle as I expected. When he was taking a bath, his mom asks if she can touch his hand and of course he said "No", because he doesn't like someone to touch the part of his body but I felt warm inside my heart when I was reading this scene because I could tell she really really loves him and wanted to touch and hold him.

Like I wrote on the fourth paper, I thought Ed is coming to her house to take Christopher back, and he did really come to her house. As I listened the conversation between his mom and dad, he was angry and I thought he is going to pull him back no matter how he acts but he was not like that.
When he and Christopher are talking, he asks him to do a deal with him and he said," I don't care how long it takes, if it's a minute one day and two minutes the next , and it takes years I don't care". His idea was to spend little time each day and show him that he can trust him. He did killed Wellington and that is unacceptable. However, he regrets what he has done and started his new project and I really like his idea.

Overall this book was fantastic!!! I read all the page and it wasn't even hard to finish the book!!!
All the questions came out at the beginning were answered at the end. Thank you for letting me choose the first choice even though I was the last person who posted the choice up on the blog!!!

#24 Group Novel: forth fifth

Usually I'm reading over the limit page,, but in this section I couldn't enjoy as much as I could in previous section. From pg 135 to 180, they were all about how he gets to the station and what he is thinking in his head while he was looking the station so it was very boring....

Favourite character in this chapter is a policeman at the station. At the station, a policeman interrupts Christopher asking why he has been walking around in the same spot again and again, but Christopher was keep saying he wants to go to visit his mother in London, and when policeman asks if he has a ticket or money, Christopher explains that he has money but he doesn't know how to use it but he was keep telling that he wants to visit his mother in London....so I think it made policeman thinks worry about Christopher. I like how he was trying to help him out.^^

#23 Group Novel: third fifth

He finally solved a question from the beginning of the book!!! His father was the one who killed Wellington with a garden fork...! and Christopher's mom is alive and not passed away!!! I was so excited to read this chapter because people are talking about "Who killed Wellington~~" and said "You will know it around page 120". First mind comes up on my mind when I was reading the section of his father's confession of murdering, was SHOCK!!!!! and Why??? I feel sorry for his dad ,,because he murdered Wellington by his jealous to Mrs.Shears. Love made him to murder Wellington because he couldn't control himself so I know how he feels, but I think his son couldn't understand how he feels...

#22 Group Novel: second fifth

In the second fifth, I really enjoyed to read how Christopher is thinking in daily life. In the book, he explains about how he can determine whether it is good day or bad day for him by looking the cars in a row on on the way to school. Usually we don't even know whether it is going to be a super good day or black day but Christopher do know how , and it inspired me a lot.

One of the interesting feature of this book is that they are showing many pictures. I like how this author put variety of pictures in the book because it gives us clear information of what Christopher is thinking because his thinking is too difficult to understand without picture.

#21 Romeo and Juliet: overal thoughts

I personally don't like Shakespeare much but overall, I think Romeo and Juliet was very good story even though some part of the movie was little cheesy. In this century, I don't think we can find true love and think about other person like Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is known as the most painful love story and it is very famous story in the world so I was excited to see the movie, but as we start watching Romeo and Juliet, because they're using their form of English, it was difficult to understand what they were saying, and what they are saying in each chapter but overall I really like its story.

#20 Romeo and Juliet.......3/5s in

Now we watched 3/5 movie,, and the scene what I remember the most is the scene when Mercutio and Tybalt dies. Mercutio- in the book when he was getting killed by Tybalt, he said his lines about almost one whole page but in the movie he didn't say his line like he did in the book. I liked to hear his famous line "A plague on both your houses..!" but I was expecting to hear more from him because those lines are one of the example of Shakespeare's feature, which he likes to let person talk very long before that person dies. The story was very interesting but it was very difficult to understand their language even though I used my play-book and followed their line while they were saying their line.
