Summary of chapter 5

  Lorenzo was recall his memories in chapter 4, but in chapter 5 he back to the real world. He still lied to his mom, and stayed in the cellar. He likes having this life that stay in the cellar by himself. Then, his sister who named Olivia called him, and talked with him for a while. His sister was strange in the phone call, asked strange questions and said don't tell mom that I called you. He thought it was a crap, but it wasn't. His sister was his father and the other woman's daughter, and she was very naughty when she was young. His sister also liked lying to her parents, for example, she pretended a photographer, actually she was in trouble. So, Lorenzo was kind of similar with his sister Olivia. After that, Lorenzo wrote a letter for his mom, and said he is having fun. Then, Olivia went to Lorenzo's living place. They were looking for the their father's stuff. His sister was king of angry about the letter, and she just stayed for a while then left. Then, Lorenzo read the letters between his sister and his father. After that, his sister came back, and wanted sleep in the cellar for 1 night, but Lorenzo disagree with that. But his sister were sly, she yelled in the park that Lorenzo is hiding in the cellar. Then, Lorenzo opened the door for Olivia.

Chapter 4 in class writing

  When Lorenzo and his mom were in the car, they had traffic jam. There was raining outside. It was hard to move in there. First, scooter slalomed between the cars, his mom felt unhappy with them, and pushed hard on the car horn.Then, Lozenro talked with his mom for a while. After that, his mom saw a free space to park, and drive to there. Suddenly, there was a yellow Smart Car drive into them. The man who was the driver had argue with Lorenzo's mom, and said lots of bad words to her. Lorenzo can not do anything, al last his mom fell down. 

  Lorenzo was sitting in the car when his mom argue with the bad man. Lorenzo wanted to help his mom, but he can not move out the car. He didn't understand why the man said so many bad words to his mom. When his mom fell down, he fainted. I think Lorenzo was a little bit scared when they were argue. Also, he was hate the man.

  I think he didn't like the song because of this. And also, he didn't like people maybe also because of this, because his mom did nothing wrong when the man said lots of bad words. He thought everyone like that bad man. His mom fell down on the street, and no one helped. So this chapter is important. 

The summary of Chapter 3

                                                       The summary of chapter 3
  Chapter 3 talk about Lorenzo lived in the dark cellar. He used a rest of morning to read a book and sleep. He enjoyed his holidays in the cellar. After that, his mom called him, and asked a few questions about himself. And he told his mom he is in the pizzeria, and everything is fine. He had a bad mood when he went to home, because he hates that song. His mom was three floors above him, and his father would wake his mom up and take her to bed.

I like Lorenzo as a character

  Actually I don't really like Lorenzo when I started reading this book. But after reading, I like Lorenzo as a character. Even though Lorenzo was a weird person, but he still was a good boy. When his mom and he went to ski, he had some issue with his mom. He wanted go to the ski field by himself. But his mom didn't want him to do that, and she didn't understand why he wanted to get there by himself. He just didn't want to be a loser who turned up with his mom, and he also didn't want other people make fun of  him. He wanted other people to respect him, and he tried to change himself. 

  When he was 3 years old, he wanted everyone leave him alone. But there were some students wanted to talk with him. Then he will though anything that he can hand on to the student who wanted talk with him. When he grow up, he learned how the other students to leave him alone. So, I think he didn't want hurt other people, he just was a special student in his school. 

  I like Lorenzo, because he knew his wrong, and he tried to change them. 

a short reaction of chapter 1

  I think this book is kind of interesting, because it talked about a boy who name is Lorenzo's life . He is not a optimistic boy, and he is very shy, don't want to talk. He is 14 years old. I like reading the book that talk about a person's special life. And I think this boy who's name is Lorenzo has a special life. So, I don't think this book is boring. It might be interesting.

Spelling bee review

                                                                Spelling Bee review

  The 25th Annual Putnam Country, Spelling Bee is a long one act musical comedy. There are 5 students in the game. Every student has various kinds of styles to preform their special art of spelling. They have different ways to spell words.What’s more, we also have splendidly surprising Spelling Bee drama in our school. It is shown in our school’s black box which is a special place for performance located in gym next to Motter Hall and John.J White building. I saw the Spelling Bee drama yesterday and I felt my body was relaxed from the stress of hard studying, my knowledge was enlarged, my vocabulary was increased, my version was elaborated and my imagination was inspired. 

  

I went there a little bit late, so I missed the very beginning of the drama which was such a huge pity. When I came in the Black Box, there was a big boy who was in yellow jeans and a brown hat in front of the audience sing songs smoothly with dancing elegantly. His vocabulary was astonishingly large which impressed me and I knew he worth me to emulate. Moreover, I had heard of that he won the championship of the Spelling Bee last year so he definitely was a strong rival of other candidates. He gave the speech with strong self confidence and loud voice. However, he left very early with shocked me from head to toes. As far as I am concerned,the reason why he left so early was not because of his English level, he was unfairly treated by the judges. He originally spelt the word right but the judge said he was wrong. However, he lost his demeanor by yelling at the judges which I thought was inappropriate. All in all, I felt sorry for him.

The second candidate was a girl with grey cap and glasses. She preferred to spell the word on the ground and use dance step to represent each letter. I was impressed by her beautiful steps and her creation. Everyone was dancing and singing behind her. The dancing team was great and I recognized many faces of my classmates. I felt very proud of them because I knew they practiced very hard to prepare this event. 

The farewell ‘celebration’ for the lose candidate was extremely sarcastic. They repeated the ‘goodbye’ rhythms with alto and base. It sounded cheerful but I thought that was nothing to be happy about.

There was a girl who was very shy and dressed in pink. She talked very little and always lowered her head. One of the judges came to rise her head but lately she lowered her head again.

In conclusion, I have learnt a lot strategy and vocabulary. I hope in the future I can be brave enough to stand on the stage and enlarge my vocabulary.
