Goosebumps #3

I was continuing reading on Goosebumps which was written by R.L.Stine. This chapter was still on competition of two boys.
My prediction was wrong, Wilson didn’t draw more superheroes, but while they were going back home, Wilson showed his new bicycle which Mia seem to like it more than Jack’s bicycle. Jack lost again!!
After that they rode back home to Wilson’s house. Wilson and Jack were in competition again and Wilson won. When they were home, they were playing with Jack’s dog and Wilson’s dog and they were proving whose dog is better. I don’t know why they really like to compete in everything. They are friends; the word “friend” is to help each other, not to do like this.
But who knows? Accidentally, Mrs.Green was screaming across the street. Mia, Wilson, and Jack went to see what was going on. Oliver, a cat, went up to the tree and it couldn’t come down. Jack didn’t think about anything, he just wanted Mia to be proud of him, so he started climbing the tree and finally, he lost his balance and he fell down from the tree. Even Wilson gave him a chance to help the cat, but Jack still couldn’t do anything. Thus, Wilson climbed up to the tree and helped Oliver with no problem. Everyone liked Wilson, Mrs.Green hugged him and thanked to him. This event made Jack disgrace again. I feel pity to Jack because even he tried to help the cat and showed Mia, he still couldn’t do it and he lost to Wilson all over again. I also feel glad to Jack that he didn’t say any word and he tried to help Mrs.Green. Wilson was lucky again.
Mia told everyone that she is going home and reminded others to not forget to come on her birthday party. And Jack was thinking about this, he didn’t want to go because he hates party. Therefore, he made an excuse that he need to go somewhere with his parents and said that he might not be able to go.
I used reading strategies by predicting that he would go because if he leaves Wilson to stay with Mia together. He might lose Wilson about Mia again. This chapter help me imagined what was going on in a lot of events. For example, when Jack climbed up on the tree and he almost got the cat, but finally the car move a bit farther and he lost his balance, so his fell down from the tree.

Simile of the Enchanted Garden

As i have read the story called "The Enchanted Garden" which was written by Italo Calvino. The clue that i have read this story is two children are very lucky person. They were playing around in the gardern which nobody could catch them or tell them to go away.
Simile- Two girls in the garden were as though lucky as they went up to the heaven or the magical world.

Goosebumps #2

I was continuing reading on the book called “Goosebumps” which was written by R.L.Stine. There was a girl called Mia who is the most beautiful girl in middle school and she also had the prettiest hair.
Jack was very good on drawing superheroes. He just drew the new superhero called “The Incredible Laser Man” and he did it every day after he finished his homework, or before he went to bed, or when he had a free period. Jack has a goal, one day he’s going to be a comic book artist.
It is very good that he loved drawing. I have seen many people who are the famous artists that got a lot of money when they sold only one picture. I think being an artist makes people get rich.
But in privately, I don’t like drawing at all. In fact, my drawing sucks.
As you have reading the first post that I said,” Wilson liked to compete in every single thing.”
After Jack finished his drawing, the Laser Man one, the first thing that he did is show it to Mia. But who knows?? When Jack was about to showed his heroes, the competitor, Wilson came with his heroes. Wilson showed his heroes before Jack and Wilson had drawn five superheroes and he also colored in. And he had written as Mia’s protectors at the top of the paper.
It seems like Mia like Wilson superheroes more.
Wilson wouldn’t stop compete on Jack. He still wanted to beat Jack in everything. I think in the world, there are still many people who act like this. We should let them know that it is not good for them. They will make more and more enemies and finally no one will like them.
While I was reading the story, I used dictionary to understand the words I didn’t know. I also read and think while I was reading and also slowly read the information to make sure that I understand everything.
I predict that they wouldn’t stop competing and Jack might tired to draw a better superheroes or maybe he would draw more superheroes than Wilson did.

All The Year Of Her Life

As I have read the story called “All year of her life” which was written by Morley Callaghan. This story is about a boy named Alfred who stole a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste from Mr. Carr, the owner of the store. Mr. Carr was nearly calling the police, but eventually Alfred’s mom was so calm and that made Alfred get surprise. She talked to Mr. Carr so nice and finally Mr. Carr let them go back home with the words “Tell you son not to come back here again.” Mr. Carr is also a nice guy, even Alfred stole his stuffs, and he still let him go.
We have a discussion in the class and we were talking about what if the character changes. What would happen if Mr. Higgins came? Would he do the same thing as Mrs. Higgins did? What if Mr. or Mrs. Higgins is not American and they are Asian? Would it be different?
Of course, the story will be change. The father might be angry and punch Mr. Carr because he might believe in his son and thinks that Mr. Carr lied to him. But what if Mr. Higgins is an Asian? I think he would be calmer.
So it means that if the story has changed any main character, the story would be change.
When I read the story, I used the reading strategies called “I guess a prediction what the text is about” I used this when his mom came and I thought that she would come and help Alfred and shout on Mr. Carr, but she didn’t do it. She was so calm to Mr. Carr.
I also check my understanding what I read new text. When he saw his mom was drinking a tea in the kitchen and everything looks different. She is calmer, but not like before who goes to the drug store.

Goosebumps #1

I am reading a new book called “Goosebumps” which was written by R.L.Stine. The story has begun with a boy named Jack Johnson. He always had a terrible time with his friends named Wilson. Wilson was a boy who liked to compete in every single thing and had to prove that he’s the best at everything. Even chewing bubble gum, he tried to blow bigger bubbles. When Johnson’s bubble was twice as big as Wilson’s, he said that his was rounder. It shows that Wilson was a kind of selfish and obstinate person. These stuffs reminded me of one of my friends which always tried to be cool in front of everyone. He never listens to others. For example, when I played games with him, even I am better; I have to let him beat me because he might get angry. It taught me that sometimes we don’t need to beat everyone. In my opinion, if we let them win, it would keep our good relationship. I think the goal of Johnson is stop Wilson thinking that he is a lot better than Johnson.
I used the reading strategies When I see the cover of this book, I would predict that some of the characters in the story will have a skill that make them fly because at the cover page, the picture showed boy’s leg which is on the sky with geese. After I read the book for a couple pages, the first thing that came up was his face. This chapter was quite easy to understand so I didn’t use the dictionary, but I stopped and think after I read couple paragraph.

The Enchanted Garden

I am reading the book called "The Enchanted Garden" which was written by Italo Calvino. As I have read the story, I think the story takes place in the enchanted garden which is impossible for the real life. The author was trying to say that “Life sucks” Whether you are rich or poor, your life might not be perfect. Everyone will have a bad time. In the story, two children were not happy to play in this enchanted garden because they have to be careful of other people who would come and catch them. Also the boy that lived in the beautiful house was sick and as we know that when people are sick, they will feel terrible, so the boy was not happy as same as those two children.
When I read this story, I used a reading strategy called "I think about what I know to help me understand what I read", so Serenella did everything that Giovannino said. And the second one called "I also have a purpose in my mind what I read", when Giovannino said that there’s a train coming, but as I have read through the story, that was just a sound of the train.

RAISE YOU VOICE # 8

I am reading the book called Raise Your Voice which was written by Robin Wasserman. The book is so interesting and this is the last part of the book. Slone was playing her piano and Kiwi was also playing drum next to her room. He tried to play as loud as he could to make her come to shout on him. She finally came to the room, and then tries to guess what Kiwi did? He kissed her. Impossibly, she kissed him back. They both were staying together for doing something. You can guess what it is. Even you know what it is, keep it in your mind. I use reading strategies by trying to picture in my mind what was going on.
I also like to play music, I used to play guitar. It was so fun, but I couldn’t play that well. At least I have tried hard and I got on stage once.
After that, everyone went to the auditorium for watching the show that all students were prepared for the whole summer time.
Terry forgot her lucky necklace at her room. Oh my god!! Her dad was in the room. He forced her to go back home, but she didn’t care his words. She told him that she must go up to the stage and show her gift. If it’s me, I will go on the stage either. I won’t give up easily.
It’s Terry and Jay’s turn to show their song. They began the song and Terry’s parents came into the room. They were watching while her daughter was singing a song. At last he felt glad to her, and he realized that he shouldn’t force her daughter for not doing something she likes. I feel pleased to her that lastly, her dad understands her. After everything is done, everyone started to play music together. The End…
I want to recommend this book to anyone especially who likes music. It is good that the book shows the goal of people which they were trying hard on their music and also finally finished her daddy’s problem.

RAISE YOUR VOICE #7

I am reading the book called “Raise Your Voice” and it was written by Robin Wasserman. Jay felt like his heart was breaking because Terry stopped talking to him, but Jay was still trying to talk to her. He couldn’t write the song without Terry. He needed her; he always thought about her. I really understand how he felt. Terry was depressing. She never thought that she would see his boy friend doing this. If it’s me I will be so upset like Terry too. One day, Jay went to Terry’s room to apologize to her. He was drunk. Terry took him up to the deck. Jay slept on the floor; Terry looked after him all night. I tried to imagine how he went up to her room with unconsciousness and trying to bring his love back. I think Terry still loved him, so she wanted to take care of him. She wouldn’t let him stay alone while he’s getting drunk. Drunken man would do anything because he was in unconsciously situation. Finally, somehow they both came back to each other. It might be because Jay was trying to see her and talk to her for many times, and suddenly last night he came to her room. That might be the reason why she forgave her. If I am Jay and I love Terry so much, I would do like him. I won’t give up easily. I would try to do every single thing that I can do, but I wouldn’t drink to eradicate my pain. They both helping each other wrote the song. Terry would sing and Jay would play guitar together for show. They might get the scholarship.
Inauspicious, her father finally knew that Terry went to the musical school for the whole summer vacation. It was because the school sent them a letter to see their show. His dad was so upset. He would go to see Terry. Let see what would he do, will he get angry when he see her or he would be proud of his daughter? I predict he would do something bad to her. He would take her back home even she has any reason. It’s because he already said that he doesn’t want her to come her since she was at home.

"Girl"

I have read through the story named “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. This was about a strict woman that has a daughter. She commanded her daughter everything she desired because she wanted her to be a good girl in the future. It reminded me when my dad wanted me to get all a in the class. He hoped me to get it, but I didn’t. He was a bit angry, but I told him that I have tried so hard and it was difficult, so I just get this score. Finally, he understood me. I didn’t understand when the story talks about “you mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the bread?” I tried to think what the meaning is, but I couldn't so I asked my teacher the meaning. So now I figure out that the mother said like, do you want to be a girl that the bread seller doesn't want you to touch their bread? It means that if you are dirty, they won't let you touch their bread.
I think the mother loves her daughter so much. She commands a girl what she demand. She want her to be clean and many other good things, so when a girl grows up, she will be a perfect girl that men want to marry with and having an awesome future life. I predict her daughter will be contract on her mom, but she will do well on her mother’s demand.

I HAD A HERO

An American guy, Michael, visited the villages which Ilunga is the master. Michael taught him how to raise fish. Michael told Ilunga that he need the pond site which there’s a small stream or a spring. After they found the good spot, Ilunga borrowed the shovel from Mike and he is going to dig for ten-by-fifteen meters pond size. Ilunga kept working like a marathon. Ilunga wanted a pond fifteen by twenty meters, so he was continue doing it with his heart. He kept doing without stopping and he had less break time. Michael helped him a bit because he has a limit. While Ilunga was digging the pond, he was sick. His hand was very hot, but he didn’t stop digging the pond. He wanted to finish it. Finally, the pond was done. Michael and Ilunga were having a cerebration, pointed on the fish and gave them name.
Who is the Hero in the story? Of course Ilunga is the hero. He digs the fifteen by twenty meters pond by himself with a shovel. Ilunga is stubborn, determined, a hard worker and diligent person. Even he felt tired or sick, he didn’t stop it. Also when he was sick and his body was hot like a fire, he was still digging the pond. I was trying to imagine this picture. A sick guy is digging a huge pond without stop. He would looks tired with lots of sweat. He might be dead someday if he doesn’t stop. He should take care of his health. I used a dictionary to find the meaning of some vocabularies. For example: machete (p.3, page 17) it means like a huge knife. I tried to picture of this stuff. I have tried measure the size of ten by fifteen meters and it was bigger than my teacher’s room. If he use only a shovel, that’s going to be really tough work. I felt a kind of pity to him for non-stop digging pond. I also tried to understand the sentence by re read the sentence, “with a shovel I sold him on credit against his next corn harvest.” It means if he can sell corns, then he will give money back to Michael. Even we know that Ilunga is the hero, can Michael also be a hero? I think yes because he taught Ilunga to raise fish, he lend Ilunga the shovel and he also helped Ilunga for a bit of digging. He couldn’t help Ilunga much because he has a limited.

RAISE YOUR VOICE #6

Jay was a kind of shy when he has to show Terry his own song. Terry helped Jay to change some parts of the song. A guy name Kiwi, Terry and Jay’s friend wanted to know a girl named Slone. Terry helped them knowing each other by going out in evening. They get to know each other more. Kiwi thanked to Terry. I think many people have an experience like this too. Like know a new girl or boy by your friends. In that day, Terry’s aunt called Terry to immediately go back to her house. Terry’s dad was coming to see her and if he didn’t see her at Terry’s aunt house, then she would get into trouble. Terry finally went back before her dad arrived; she felt a thrill of fear. My younger brother always did like this too. He liked to hang out with his friend even my dad didn’t allow him to go. He just went out and came back before my dad came back. He sometimes couldn’t arrive home before my dad, so he got a punishment. After Terry's dad went back home, she came back to the musical school. Everyone was studying in the class, but Terry was absent because she was sick. In the class time Jay’s ex-girl friend was upset because she didn’t get the round that she wanted to sing and the teacher said that we have to wait for Terry. She deserved this round because she has tried so hard. Jay’s ex-girl friend came out of the class and cried. Jay walked pass her and asked what was happening. She begged Jay to talk in privacy. They went into piano room and Jay’s ex-girl friend was trying to persuade Jay to come back to her. She kissed him. Frightened, Terry push the door and she saw they were kissing, so she ran away from him. Actually Jay didn't do that, but his ex-girl friend did it. Jay followed her and told his ex-girl friend to stayed away from him. Terry was depressing. Terry didn’t talk with Jay even he came and reconcile. If I am Terry, I will be so sad too because I would hate if my lover does something like this to others. Everyone would feel like me too. Some would forgive, but some won’t. Let see what Jay will do. Will he reconcile her until she get meek or he will no talk to her anymore.

RAISE YOUR VOICE#5

Terry was studying in the singing class. Her teacher talked to her after class and he showed her DVD that Paul sent it over there which made Terry missed him so much. Paul sent the DVD to the musical school to help terry when she was attending to the school. In the DVD was all about Terry which Paul took her daily life. Terry ran out of the room. I didn’t understand why she was running out of the room for going back to her room and packing all stuff back home. She shouldn’t give up. She must follow her goal. Anyways, Jay saw when Terry was crying and going back to the room, so he followed her. Finally, Jay came in her room and tried to change Terry’s mind that “Why are you here?”, “Why am I here!”, “Why is everyone here!!” Don’t stop your dream. It made you feel comfortable and happy isn’t it? Terry agreed with him. Afterwards, Paul always stayed beside her. If I am Terry, I’ll be so please that someone is staying beside me and giving me a moral support. If you are one of the students there, are you going to change Terry’s mind for not going back home? Or you will just let her go? Everyone is like an enemy for getting the scholarship, but for me, I will help her. Friends and follow your dream is better than being an enemy. It is not exactly a competition, but it is just like who has done in studied the best. Terry did a wonderful job in every class. She helped Jay writing the song.

After Thoughts, Reviewing Lamberton.

After I have read through the story and having discussion with my classmates, I thought the man was an awesome father. He had 3 daughters and one lovely wife. I didn’t understand why he was in the prison, but finally, I realize that he has been trying to run away with his student which was a 14 years old girl. How could he do that? His age was like 30-40years old and she wasn’t even become one’s legal age. I’ll understand their love if their ages are the same even they’re a teacher and student. I think he did feel sorry to his family after his children came visit him at the prison, and he has found that he shouldn’t do like that. He has his four lovers which include his wife and children. Anyways, he has already done it. By the way, others won’t believe him anymore. The school principle will think that he has not enough property for being a teacher. His wife will think that how could he did that to her. But the children might not really understand the situation, so they didn’t feel angry to his father. However, if I’m his wife, I won’t forgive him for doing this. On the other hand, if I’m the father, I will show my apology to them until they have forgiven me and I will promise them not doing like that again.

The Wisdom of Toads

I have read the Wisdom of Toad in English class which was written by Ken Lamberton. I have learned that the man which was a teacher has married with her wife when she was 14 years old. I think this guy is a kind of attentive father. He taught them those stuffs and also trying to catch the toad for his children. I want to know that, how come the man was in the prison? What has he done so wrong?
In the story, the men were licking the frog for getting high. Before they were using drugs, but they found that frog is good also. They feel relief from the walls and bars. The author describes and run the story very interesting. This story is a kind of difficult to guess or predict what it is going to happen next. By reading this story, I used many reading strategies. I slowly read it and also use a dictionary to define the meanings. There are lots of difficult words which I have never seen before. For example: legislative, testimony, resentencing, prosecutor, and etc. I also picture the story in my mind when I know that the guy was really married with 14 girl years old and also when he try to catch the toad. His wife is not even over 18 yet, so it is quite like illegal things. Sometimes, I have to re-read the story because some part might confuse me. It might be because of the tough words and it also perplexes me.
What he did that was wrong is that he wanted to have a new life with a girl who was only 14 years old. She is too young for him, but they got married anyways.
I think it’s enough for his punishment because just get married with the young girl doesn’t mean that he is going to harm somebody. He just loved her. I think actually, age is not important for the word, “LOVE.”

RAISE YOUR VOICE#4

In the beginning of the musical school for Terry, she met her roommate which was not really care of others. She only focuses on the scholarship to continue her studying. This school has a scholarship for students by showing their gift to the committee and parents. The prize is $10000, so everyone must do their best and study hard. I think friend is the most important thing in school life. Friend is good for your connections and future life. People can’t live alone; they must have at least a friend. In this school when they have a free time, students always play the music together. Some sings, some playing guitar, they play whatever they choose. It’s up to the students. They would study of what they want. It makes the music get into their lineage with happiness. People have a chance to do things and they should do what they like. Terry starts study in many classes. She studied of how to distinguish of the music notes. Sing the song and make the sound goes more with details. Also being on time is very important. Of course in the school life, there should be a teenage love. Terry was starting talking to a guy called Jay. Let’s see how great it’s going to be. Danice, Terry’s roommate, is playing her musical instrument which she does it at some hotel to get the money. It’s very excellent to make money by ourselves while we’re in the school life.

The Summer the Sun Did Not Blow Up

Have you ever make up any serious rumor? Whenever you heard about any news, you better think about it deeply. The story "The Summer the Sun Did Not Blow up" was written by Birmati Lakhan. This story is about an Indian family that lived in Fiji. One day, the children heard the rumor that they were going to be death on next month. It happed sometimes during Christmas day. So they were finding the way to stay alive, but finally, they were stop being impatient about that coming up deathly because it wasn’t true. When I read this story I began to understand how people feel when they heard about some frightened rumor. People shouldn’t invent a fake story for others to be fear.
There were the children who live in Fiji that heard about the rumor. Actually, I didn’t know the meaning of rumor, so I used a dictionary to help me understand and now I know what it is. Continual, their aunt told the children that next month, the sun will blow up and the sea would rise and drown all the land and houses. This sentence is very important to the story, so I slow down to understand it. The children were scared of death, so they were thinking about the way to be alive. There was many ideas come up. "I suggest that we dig a large hole, get inside, and cover ourselves with a big wet rug.” Then, the second ideas came up, “We decided that we’d have to light a small fire inside the refrigerator, just enough to stop us from freezing.” The children told the eldest brother that they need a steel boat and a refrigerator. For these quotes, I try to picture in my mind what I have just read to help me remember what I read. It makes all older people having a meeting because the rumor was getting out of hand. The father and the eldest brother were very angry and tried to find out who had started the rumor. Finally, the 14 years old girl had read an article and it said that it could happen in next millions of years, not next month. As a result, everyone was end with the fake story and be relaxed. For me, if I heard about the rumor, I won’t believe until it happens. But of course I will feel scare of death. The theme of this story is rumors are easy to start but hard to stop. From one people tell another one, then that two people tell another, and then it will add more and more.
When people have listened to any rumor, if they want to tell others, then they must say what exactly they have heard. Sometimes, the rumor might change by saying the wrong things. Like in the story, “millions of years.” How come the children have heard that next month the sun will blow up. However, the reading strategies help me a lot to understand the meaning of words and to understand clearly of the important part. I also imagine of the picture in my mind which make the story get more fun. Next time of reading I will do the same things and underline or circle information in the text and predict the story to challenge myself. Remember to think of what you’re going to say carefully because the story would gain to others.

RAISE YOU VOICE THEME

As I have read 3 chapters of the book, it already tells me the theme of the book. I think if anyone read my 1st, 2nd, 3rd chapters, then they would also know the theme of the book either. "Follow your goal for your brilliant life," is the theme of the story. Terry has lied to her father for doing what she likes. She should have a chance for her goal whether her father likes or not. The future is going to be her own life. No one could force her, but they can only give her an advice. However, she is going to start her dream soon. You will see how exciting and enjoyable in her musical school.

RAISE YOUR VOICE#3

Terry lied to her parents that she is going to stay with her aunt for a summer vacation, but actually, she was going to the musical school which her mom feel free for her to study there. But her father thought that his girl is too young for staying alone in dangerous LA City. Outstanding, Terry has a wonderful gift. She can sing very well.
Even Terry knows her goal; her father still doesn’t allow her to study at the musical school. Lying is not good, but sometimes people have to do it like Terry. She needs to follow her goal. People should have a responsibility and Terry is going to stay at the school. She is old enough, so I think it is not fair for her. Anyways, even she lied to her dad, she should have a chance to do what she wants.

The Lady or the Tiger

The interesting story “The Lady or the Tiger” was written by Frank Stockton. In the story, a princess has to choose a way for her lover which is death or live. The king, princess’s father put a guy into the prison and he forced him to choose the two doors. One of them has the tiger and another one has one of the most beautiful girl young women at court. He would marry her. Finally, the princess know the secret of the two doors and she has promised to her lover the she would help. Will she leave him die, or be happy with another girl? Either way, he will lose him.
By reading the story, I have tried to picture in my mind for the two doors which a guy need to choose the way. I also read slowly and carefully when the text becomes difficult to make sure that what I read is the right thing. Sometimes, I have to re-read when I lose my concentration. I also predict the way that the princess will choose. And I think she would choose him live because if she really loves him, then she won’t let him die.

My prediction wasn' right, Paul was dead when he drove back home. Terry was in the hospital with her parents. After the doctor came and check her reactions, Terry looked afraid of the light. It is because when her brother was about to die, there was a strong light of the truck attack through her eyes. Every time she looks at the light, she always think about her brother.
It's because Paul is her loveliest brother, he always took care of her and helped her every single things.
Finally, the musical school accepted Terry as their student. Terry was starting her truely goal. It's great that she has found what she likes to do, so she can does her best. For myself, i don't really know my real goal, so i need to find what i love to do. I feel very jealous to Terry. The musical school has began.
I predict that Terry would have some problem with her new friends that will let her down.

"Iphone Girl" Generates Internet intrigue

The news talked about the contractor girl which got a problem on the company that she worked with. The article said,"the worker testing the device took the pitures and may have forgotten to delete them." It also said that the company has no comment which I think she wasn't the one who was taking her own photos and that wasn't a big problem to kick her out from being the worker. As we know, the new phone should be clear, no any other weird stuff inside, so that was why she got a problem.

Using reading strategies "The Telephone""

The most popular strategies that I always use is " I check my understanding when I read new information", it's because sometimes the new information might not exactly connects to what I just read, thus I need to be careful.
Sometimes even I already understand, but when I see the new information, it might makes me get confuse again. Some new information might be difficult to understand, so I should slowly read it. For example, At abu Raja's dikkan, the calls did eventually come, it don't understand this sentence. So when i see something like this, i have to re-read it again and it makes me feel bored. I do "I check to see if my guesses or predictions about the text are right or wrong." To predict the story is very interesting. Sometimes, people might predict the right thing, but sometimes there is a turning point which can change the whole story. So that is a kind of fun activity to do. Sometimes, the story is going to be happy, but at the last some main character might be dead and leave their couple along. Everything is possible. Anything can happen.

Raise Your Voice

I'm reading the book called Raise Your Voice.
It was written by Robin Wasserman.
The main character named Terry Fletcher.
The book was about a pretty blondy girl called Terry Fletcher which loves music as her life. She has a wonderful brother called Paul. Both Paul and Terry went to the school for Paul's graduation day and took a lot of photos. Terry came back home and there was a BBQ party at her house. Terry met her lovely aunt named Nina. Nina was asking Terry about life and what Terry wanted to do for the summer vacation. Terry talked about the music school in LA. Her father didn't allow her to go. When Paul came back home and realize that his father didn't let Terry try to attend the best music school in LA, then they were fighted in a conversation. To attend the school, they need the CD that can present about Terry, so Paul always take a video for his sister. Terry didn't usually go to Paul's bed room, but that day she went inside say thank you for his help by given a popular band concert tickets. Even Paul got the punishment by not going out, but that day he broke the rules. They were having fun at the concert.

I predict that after they come back, they both will get more punishment. But it wasn't correct. When they were driving back home, there was a big car that didn't follow the traffic lights, so they were hit by that car. Her loveliest brother, Paul was dead.

I think Terry's dad shouldn't force her to do what he wants. Everyone needs a freedom. He should give his daughter her own choice because he won't live with her forever. He must give her a change to do what she likes, then it will ge great for her future.
