Gentleman of Rio en Medio - Make Judgements

The narrator is familiar to the culture and way of living of the Americans. He doesn't understand the duty and honor of Don Anselmo which caused them to have conflict because of different living ways and believing in different ideas. To Don Anselmo, he respects the properties of other people so he decided not to touch it when he sold the land. To me, Don Anselmo is right because those trees don't belong to him so he doesn't have the right to do anything with them. Just because you HAVE it doesn't mean that it's YOURS. And also, I don't know what's in the contract Don Anselmo's signed but I believe there's no such thing as "When the American bought the land, everything that is in the land is theirs". Overall, Don Anselmo is the right guy.

Stop the Sun Literature Focus - Make Judgements

I think that it was a good idea to ask Terry's father about his illness. Yes it was very hurtful to the father but it gave Terry the knowledge of his father's illness and it helps Terry to understand what his father has been through so that he can fix his behaviors. And maybe, since Terry already knew the cause of the illness, he might know what he could do to encourage or cheer his father up. To me, it's a good thing.

Final Draft for my Narrative Essay

Jellyfish 

“DARLING COME! THE WATER DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO BITE!” my mom was calling me while she was jumping down to the sea.

The sun was shining but it wasn’t too shiny. The cloud chilled down the sun. The wind was blowing gently along people’s shoulders. I felt like I was lying down on a hammock that was hanging on two coconut trees on the beach. Oh wait, I was at a beach. I was afraid though. My mom and her friends were splashing water at each other. I was still standing on the bridge. I couldn’t jump down. I had lots of reasons for my fear of jumping down though. First, I afraid I might hit something sharp. Second, I wouldn’t like it if a crab got me. Third, I didn’t know how to swim that well.

“Hey! What are you waitin’ for? COME DOWN HERE LITTLE PRINCESSA!” my mom’s friend called me with all those hand gestures.

“Are there any crab?” I asked with my silly voice.

“NO! Of course not! COME!” my mom yelled back.

“OKAY! I WOULD GIVE IT A TRY!” I replied back.

I didn’t know where I got the gut and how I did it but I jumped down the bridge and it felt good. It felt like I was getting out from all the depressions.

            I swam a lot. I didn’t do much of swimming since 3^rd grade because of all the homework and piano lessons. I swam all the way from the bridge to the other one which is around 100 meters far. I did all style of swimming. I didn’t pay any attention on the water and the place that I was swimming to.

            “OUCHIE! MOMMY! SOMETHING BIT ME” I yelled in pain.

            “What?” My mom asked me back in with curiosity.

            “Something with tons of those long strings that wrapped up my legs!” I cried in pain

            “Oh that’s a jelly fish! We didn’t know that this sea has jelly fishes.” My mom’s friend said out loud.

            “Come here darling. I’ll bring you back to the hotel.” My mom came closer to me and then carried me back to the hotel.

            I cried all the way from the beach to the hotel room. I can’t stop crying. It’s like hundred of stitches that were trying to go through my skin. If a 2 years old kid got sting a jellyfish, he or she might faint because it’s unbelievably painful. It left a scar. But it got fade away 2 months later.

        Instead of having fun and do all those camp fire things with my mom’s friend, I had to sit alone in the hotel room watching those Tom & Jerry Shows because I can’t actually moved my legs. I felt terrible for not paying attention while I was under the water. I should have been more careful.

              Temptation and the desire of having fun dragged me away from my caution. Since that day, I learned about how things can drag me out of my caution and leading me to terrible consequences. So I became more of a cautious girl the next day and still until now.

        The next time I had to go to that beach again, I did a little research on how to avoid jellyfish and ideas of going to a safe place to swim. Oh and guess what? The jellyfish that stung me was just a normal one. Not the poisonous one. How lucky am I?

Flower for Algernon

My choice is no.6: Interpret

-I think what they meant by saying "to pull a Charlie Gordon" is like "being stupid and dump like Charlie".

In the story, Charlie Gordon is facing a mental problem and having a lower than normal IQ. He has been chosen to take a medical experiment to get himself triple time smarter.

So as the operation's result working slowly on Charlie, he realized that his friends have been playing dirty tricks on him and make him looks like a fool in front of everyone.

To people, Charlie's a pretty "not smart" guy.

So when anyone act dump or stupid or reckless, they compare those people to Charlie.

And that's why they use the sentence "to pull a Charlie Gordon".
