Course Reflection

                                                    Course Reflection
  English IS class is kind of hard class for me, because we have to read a lot of books, and write a lot of blog or essay. When I start English class in this year, I just can write 200 words blog for my homework, and I can not finish reading books. After a few time, I can write at least 500 words for my blog. Also, my reading speed are faster than before. So, I learn lots of skills and knowledge.
  Firstly, it was very difficult to write a 500 words blog at the beginning of the year. I just can wrote 200 to 300 words on each blog. After a few weeks, I can write 500 words blog. Also, we read 6 books this year, I still remember I really did not want to read the book, but I still finish it. It was so hard to read books for me. Because there are a lot of vocabulary words in the book, and I translated everyone. When I was in China, I never read the novel. But when I came to America, I started reading books. Some books are really interesting, such as Me and You, We Were Liars. The story is really interesting. But some books I do not really like it, such as Frozen In Time. That is because, there are too many information in the book, and it was the history about a person.
  For my next year, I still need to work on vocabulary words, and reading more books. In my opinion, reading books is the best way to improve the English skills. Because English books have a lot of vocabulary, we can learn them easily from the book. Also, we can learn some grammar from the English book. Because there is no grammar issues in the book which is already published. For my writing skills, I have to improve it a lot.
  My favorite book is Me And You. This book talked about a boy who do not like talk with other people, and always lied to his mom. He just wanted to stay by himself. Then, he hided in the cellar and had a great time. One day, his sister found him, and she is homeless and poor. He let her stay for a while. After that, they talked a lot, and he knows that she hate her father. After a few days, her sister left, and she left a letter said you are my best brother. After a few years, her sister was died in a bar because of drug. I like this book, because it has real emotion with love between brother and sister. I want to read the book which is the style like Me And You. Because it is kind of easier to understand, and it has real emotion.
  In this year, I learned lots of things- write blog, reading book's skills etc. I like English class, and I will do my best in next year.

Review of Bone Chiller

                                                          Review of Bone Chiller
  On last Friday, there was a fantastic show called Bone Chiller in BlackBox, and I went there and saw the show. "Bone Chiller" was written by Monk Ferris. I am really like the show. 
  Firstly, some people get in the room, and they discussed who can get Josiah Travers' money. They have Josiah Travers' family members and officer etc, and they introduce themself. The only thing that Josiah Travers reserve is a puzzle. The puzzle has a lot of strange pictures, and it is very hard to find out what does it mean. Jerry leaned to crack the puzzle, and he led the rest of people to figure out. They had some problem when they figure out the picture which is like the sausage. After that, the servant killed by a mysterious person. Then, the one of cooker hide in a small room, and she faked died. At the story's ending, there were 2 killer in the room, the one of killer is the "officer", the other one is the women who wear black formal dress. I did not really understand all the shows, but I still think it is a very good show from 2 reasons. 
  The first reason is the actors has actual emotion when they were acting. I think actors' emotion is the most important part in the show, because spectator can input to the show from actors' emotion. For example, Luxi who act a fashionable woman did very well on her character's emotion, I know she is a rich, confident person from her expression and voice. However, other actor also did very well o emotion such as the one of little cooker. When the other cooker fake died, she cried like it is real. So, I think emotion is very important to the show, and they did really good job in the show. 
  Second, the show had fantastic background music and lighting changed. As we all know, this show is Jack Jack's last show to work on in Cheshire Academy. He control the light's direction and design the room's background. When I walked in the Black Box, I knew this show is obviously about murder, because they had dark lights and strange back ground music. So, it was a very good show because of background music and lighting changed. 
  I am appreciate the actor who works very hard on the show, but I think this show still can improved. For example, they had 2 hours conversation in the shows, even though we had 15 minutes to take a rest.
 At last, this show played successful, I am really appreciate people who works in the show again. 

Reaction of the novel

  As a reader of this book, I felt very sad and strange for this story's ending. The 3 Liars- Mirren, Johnny and Gat were died by the accident, and Cadence was the only person who alive. They did not plan very well, and when they were realized the danger, everything were too late.
  First of all, after reading the end of the story, I feel very sad. They were best friends for each other, and Gat and Cadence love each other. It supposed be a very good story, but after accident, everything are changed. Cadence was dye her hair, because she did not like Sinclair, and she did not want to be a member of Sinclair. The reason why she did not like Sinclair, granddad control all the money, and he felt that he is the boss of the family. Aunties were fight for the house which is in the Boston. Liars did not like that, and they planned to buried granddad's house. Then, the accident was happened. In Summer 17, aunties became better on division of property. Everyone can not told Cadence the truth of accident. When I was reading this part, I felt very sad to Cadence.
  Secondly, I felt strange on this story. For example, how did Cadence see the 3 liars? Why was Cadence only person who was get out of the granddad's house? After accident, Cadence always image the 3 liars who were died by fire, and they talked about the future and the motto together. Cadence was the only person who can see the 3 liars. One day, Cadence talked about Mirren with aunt Mess, but aunt Mess said what are you talking about. So, I think the 3 liars are Cadence's imagenation. Granddad also have some head problem after accident, because he always called Cadence "Mirren". Because of those several reasons, I felt this story is kind of strange.
 

In class writing

  In my opinion, the three Liars- Johnny, Mirren and Gat are Cadence's imagination. The three liars were died by fire, and they were actually died. Cadence losed her memory by the accident, and her brain got physical damage. So, she might image something that other people can not see. For example, Cadence talked with aunt Mess about Mirran, and aunt Mess said what are you talking about. After accident, only Cadence can talk with other 3 liars, and other people can not see them. Why Cadence can image 3 liars? I think they were best friends for each other, and Gat and Cadence love each other. So Cadence might image them and talk to them. During the accident time, Gat said "we can meet each other in the other world" to Cadence. However, Cadence still love Gat, and she imaged them start over. So, I think the 3 liars are Cadence's imagination, they are not ghost. 

Chapter 50-70

Cadence, Johnny, Mirren and Gat were swing together. Cadence's mom made her write to Grandad, and Cadence love her Grandad. Aunties filled in for Gran, making slumps and fussing around Grandad as if he hadn't been living alone in Boston since Tipper died in October. Gat and Cadence went to swimming at night, and they fell in love. 

2 thinking questions

1 Why did Gat said Grandad thinks he is Heathcliff who is the character in the book?

2 Why did Gat want to start over with Cadence?
