7.6 http://www.cinemaclock.com/theatres/ont/Hamilton/Jackson_Square_6.html is the page I usually visit everyday since I came to Canada. It is about what movies are showing around in jakson square, and I can find out what is interesting so that I can go to see with my friends. I just love movies and this page may surprise me sometime. For example, few days before I just forget what is the data for transformer 3, and one of my friends told me it is during the weekend but when I visit this page I realize what my friend told me is about wrong, it is few days early than what he told me, and then we just go for it soon. So, I like this page and I always visit it....so far so good! haha

7.7 I just read Aslan's journal about Facebook which is famous and he used a lot in Canada, he could talk with friends and visit some good pictures. I used to visit this website too and I like it too. Usually I visit Facebook at night to find what is the news around me and what are my friends doing. I also find out something that is funny from my friend's situation sometime. It connects us, so I like it.

7.12 __Reading Journal #3:__ July12th, 2011

Write three short paragraphs (around three sentences each) following these instructions:

i) Research New York in the 1920s. In **your own words** describe three ways it is different from today's world. Things you can research: alcohol, parties, fashion, women, sports, money, music. You can find other things as well. At the end of this paragraph **link** using the 'Link' button to any website you used for research.

ii) Read someone's 'Who am I?' page. Looking at their picture try to guess who it is and imagine a little story using the information on the sheet

iii) Tell the story of your scar. When you tell this story though, try to be like Nick. Lie about one small detail that i8s not important. Additionally, leave out one very big detail that is very important to the story. See how that changes it?

Also feel free to add to our New York Song List. 1) The fashion is a kind of british [|fashion]. In that time, new york city had many different people live in there, native people, people from Europe, first generation and second generation [|immigrants]. I could see that new york people want develop in [|1920].

2) I think that is cristine...she is black...maybe one day she went to a strange place and all girls there wear wite, and she just get lot antention. she may love atntion.

3) I got a scar when I was child. I was make fun with my cousin and then I fulled down to the floor on a piece of glass. So, I got a scar. Then, my cousin was scared and he taked care of me for a long time.

1) We are going to organize your reading journals using widgets and tags (watch my projector presentation)

2) For today's journal you are going to pick one character: Daisy, Nick, Tom, Gatsby, or Nick. This is an important decision. You are most likely going to write your essay about this character (though you will have some options).

Once you have your character you are going to practice the three new jobs for today: text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-world. (Text just means thing. This 'thing' can be a book, movie, song, poem...) i) Text-to-self: Think of and write a few sentences about how the character is like you. Also, describe how the character's personality is different from yours.

ii)Text-to-text: Find a website or a you-tube video about this type of person. Do not find a site about your character. Instead if your character is a killer, find a website about killers. Post the link and write some sentences explaining how this website connects to your character.

iii) Text-to-world: Can you think of a real person who is like your character. They do not have to be exactly the same but they should share one important attribute. For example, if my character were always telling jokes, I could connect them to my favorite comedian. Again find a website about this person, post the link, and explain the connection. 3) Lastly you will be setting up a Facebook page for your character. Please watch the projector for more information.

Answer: 1) Done 2) I want choose Daisy but maybe I will change it. Text_to_self: Daisy is a lady who has a triable marriage. She is poor and she has no right and power to fight. Sometime, I would have similar feeling about life. There were some serious problem in my family and I as a child have no right to effect it. I was thinking to be someone else to ignore the problems.

Text_to_text: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa44Ja6Zc5g&feature=youtube_gdata_player It is a video about a unhappy woman in a family. The marriage is beautiful but the problems should not be ignor.

Text_to_world: tiger woods' wife Elin Nordegren，she has similar situation with Daisy.

7.14 1) Continue reading the book for wherever you left off last night. As you are reading you are looking for anything about Nick, Tom, Daisy, Jordan, or Gatsby that you can put onto their Facebook account (using the email/password on 3U Characters). You can either do many small things (like wall-to-wall messages, status updates, etc.) or you can focus on one big thing (make a photo album, create an event, etc.). The more details you use from the book the better.

2) On Facebook I can't see who is creating what. So in your reading journals here describe what you did on Facebook with these characters and why. This should be at least three sentences.

3) Lastly, pick one character that has interested you the most so far in this book. Think about this character and write down one question in your reading journals. Start looking through the book and thinking about why you find them interesting. Once you have an idea about why they are interesting, use that idea to write a short attention grabber in your reading journal.

1,2) I did a talk on Facebook for Dansy. I wrote my name at the end. I thought she answered Niki by another question "who is Tom ",because she wanted to tall Tom that don't mention Tom, Shen wanted go back to Gatsby.

3)for Mr.Gatsby, he sail he was lived in San Francisco which city located in Middle west of USA. It is interesting that Mr.Gatsby is rich enough to move San Francisco to Middle West of USA. Why Mr.Gatsby don't agree Niki have business with Mr.wolfshiem? p80

7.18 I have a huge scar I am tall I am 20

7.22 "If good, why do I yield to that suggestion/ Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair/ And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,/ Against the use of nature?" (I, iii, 142-145) those lines are Hyperbole and Personification. For hyperbole: "heart knock at my ribs" the force could not that as big as knocking, and this line is also a personification. another personification is "Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair." the hair could stand which is like human.

I will be Banquo in our play. He is a good warrior. one day, in countryside, I waked up in my tent and finished my daily pray. I was going to eat and continue our march. suddenly, bells were raped. It is enemy's attack. Though five hours fight, we won. Blood covered my armor but it still beautiful. We praied again, and then we cleaned the battlefield as normal. We given a simple funeral for our died friends. We continued our march with silence. The honor which deep in our heart, helped us continue onward.

7.25 media type="youtube" key="gJdC969tL3U" height="349" width="425"I looked three videos and I think this is the best one. The costume for Banquo which I should acting, is good. Even thought our group already done film, I still could find some good events in common. I was waring soldier costume which is maded by myself. It is cool. I maded that costume because I thought it is too hard for Amanda to in charge all 5 people's costumes. So, I maded two costumes for Banquo and Mecbeth. then, the second good events that in common is the movement. The movement always follow the speech or thinking. I thought I did well in play. The third event that we are in common is the emotion of speech. Our actors did speech without paper. we also put our emotion into speech.

I think the import shampoo events could be shown by particular movements, and the tone of speech. When I do hyperboles, I would like to use loud voice. when I do personification, I would like to use particular movements like point somewhere or something else.

2) **Actor**: theme:intelligence. media type="youtube" key="BrqdxvgQiwE" height="349" width="560" In our scene, Banquo makes a plan that haw to kill witches and finally they win. Similar with those basketball players they are very smart for this shout. Banquo is smart. he is the first one find out witches and he made the plan in this scene. he also is the one warns macbeth that what witches said may wrong. he is a smart, sensitive, cautious guy."the instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray's in deepest consequence."he did not say that what witches said is wrong or true. he talls macbeth be careful.

7.27 1, he is the one who saw witches first. 2, he is the one who wants to know weither witches said the truth or not by listen their predictions. 3, he is the one saw the predictions as bubbles. 4, 5 6 7 8 9 10 AG: what intelligence is stupid. the intelligence people die soon, and long live fool. paragraph: bubbles are easy to brake. It could be dream or it means the future is easy to change. it relate to relationship. relationships are changed a lot in the play.
