'Nigger' and the power of language Language is a tool to communicate but it also have power to make hurt people. Have you ever thought that how the words have power ? For example, “Nigger” is the word has strong power. Do you feel comfortable when someone call you “Nigger” ?. It represents personality of person who be called. When the white people call the black people are " nigger" they must get strong react, they should fight because it's a bad word to call. In my life, i was fighting with my friend who call me " short and useless". I know it just a word but it still hurt. Words can make people be nearer but also take them away each other. The word is very important so we should be thinking before we say some thing to others

'Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you.' My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up when Jem held out the blanket and crept toward me. 'He sneaked out of the house-turn 'round-sneaked up, an' went like this!'"

Even though Scout appears frightened to hear that Boo Radley was only inches from her, she is beginning to realize that the mysterious man is trying to protect and befriend her. Boo gains the sympathy of Scout and the reader in this passage. Chapter 9

"Atticus said, 'You've a lot to learn, Jack.' 'I know. Your daughter gave me my first lessons this afternoon. She said I didn't understand children much and told me why. She was quite right. Atticus, she told me how I should have treated her-oh dear, I'm so sorry I romped on her.'"

[|Uncle Jack] admits that Scout has taught him a lesson. Atticus has brought Scout up by instilling in her wisdom and compassion beyond her years. Here, she proves wiser than Uncle Jack, a grown man. In truth, Scout is much like Atticus -- she has strong moral principles and can explain things to people in ways that allow them to understand her perspective.

1)a) Pick someone you do not like in your life. Explain why you do not like them. Then try to empathize with their situation. Explain life from their perspective.

I hate person who has bad personality. I have friend, she is a liar. she always tells some thing bad behind other back. She destroys other friendship. I do not know why she treats people like that. i hate her and we were not friends anymore. I try to empathize her many times but she did it like her habit. She is talkative so i think she feels free when she knows something about others. After that she makes it up and tell to somebody. I believe that if she is still not stop lying, she will not have friend. No one wants to have friend who tell bad thing behind their back.

__1)Reading Journal #10__
Write one text-to-self connection in your reading journal about Burris Ewell in chapter 3. Compare your life to his. In this journal you have to use four of the following vocabulary words:
 * reckoned, deliberately, mortification, illicit, gouges, 'ya hear?'**

Burris Ewell in chapter 3 in the story " To kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee was rude to his teacher**.** When his teacher asked his first name. He answered as his friend. He did not care who she was. Because he just comes to school at the first day and never comes to school any more. He had lice on his hair and his teacher told him that bathed his self before he came to class next day (Harper Lee, 35) and she took his day off. He laughed rudely and said to her " You ain't sendin' me home, missus. I was on the verge of leavin's"-_I done done my time for this year". I think Burris is quite similar as me. When i was in grade 9 ,i used to be rude to my teacher. That was a day in biology class, While my teacher was teaching, I was __deliberate__ talking with my friend. I reckoned that she did not hear my voice but she did. She called my name twice and reminded me stop talking. I did the third, she got mad and yelled __illicitly__ at me by saying bad words deliberately. That was __mortification__ for me. I knew it was a part of my fault so i did not reply her. She kicked me out of class but i was stubborn and i was worry if she telling my parent on me. The more stubborn i was, the more angry she got. She yelled at me" __'Ya hear?__" . I could not bear more. I said rudely that " you do not have to drive me me out, i'm going" and then i took my stuff and got out in her astonishment. The different is i was in grade 9 and Burris was the first day at school. he was young but he behaved rudely. We are almost the same in situation but he had never come to school until next year while i was punished.

//__**Chapter1:**__//

Boo Radley and the man in Tom Wait’s are in common. Everyone who lives near they house does not know much information about them. They built up story about them and look at their house or focus something belong to them and guess what happen in their life. The story is built bigger from someone to someone. They become a Vampire or monster in story. Their neighbors feel scare of them but curiosity. They are mystery. Both, they are always stay in home, not going out and talking with others. Nobody sees their appearance. They makes neighbors query. Specially, children are enjoyed in that. We can see in the story “To kill a Mocking bird” Dill, Jem and character “I”. Dill is the most curiosity. He tries to keep talking about Boo Radley and daring Jem come to Radley’s house. I guess the man building a trap to kill rat I think Boo Radley is not evil as much as his neighbor built up. He may be tall, thin, sad eyes, stress face and a little crazy. //**__Chapter2:__**//

Since I was grade 9, in literature class, I was talking with my friends and the principle walking through my class and he saw me while I was looking at him. I was laughing because of my friend joke. Unfortunately, he thought I might be laughing at him because he is short and he has paunch. Some naughty students made joke from his appearance. But I did not mean that. That was misunderstanding. He did not trust me. He did not give me a chance to explain. What a mean teacher! .He called me out and I was punished. I had cleaned floor 1 day. I was very dissatisfied but I was helpless. My parent did not know that. Compare to Scout, he got in worse trouble like me. His teacher was misunderstand him but he can not explain it to her. He became a liar in her eyes.

__Part1:__ Two root words inside **"infinitesimal"** are infinite: unlimited and small. so **infinitesimal** means very tiny Suffix of **"likeness"** is _ness. __happiness, sadness, gladness__ I guess **"void'** has two synonyms are mystery and abyss. **unfastened** means open poem:  I am catching it A strange thing, infinitesimal nearly holding it It goes far and further I am chasing it, likeness what i was dream It has gone, void, open eyes and unfastened I am really dreaming. __Part2:__

I just understood so so because the story is too complicate. The wife was killer. we can know at the end of story they found a man body and the gun that had killed him. proofs are " she had thrown his gun, from which she had removed the ammunition the night before they started their trip, when she realized what he was planning, into the French River on her way to Parry Sound". Quote: " It'll work, all right, it's going to work" he pulled the trigger once, twice, three times. This quote is unclear because he was going to shoot her but he was killed after. i thought he must be killed her. This is a detective story. I love this type of story but i don't really like Twins because it's not clearly. It hurt my brain. we can not guess what happened and how could they change round situation __ New words__

 * 1) **reservation (n)**: booking a room in a hotel
 * 2) **pipe down :** quite
 * 3) **circumstance (n):** situation, an event or an action
 * 4) **villain (n) :** the main bad character in a story
 * 5) **hitchhike (v) :** to travel by asking for free rides in other people's cars

I think we should be reading stories about murder in school because it's more interesting than novel. you has to brainstorm.it may help us realized that life is not only pink color as we thought. people who are beside us may not trustworthy even your husband or your wife. we have to heighten vigilant. Like "Twins" our personality are divergent. we may be kind but we may be evil...no body can guess what will happen in our life.
