In the story, the giver helps Jonas to learn and see colors, and also he finds out that other people except giver can see the color. And then he thinks that is not right. I think Jonas said that it is not right for few reasons.

Everything was chosen by the community and the elders, and they decided to go to the Sameness. It means to have same weather, all same colors, and all same houses, etc. So he thinks that the community's decisions to go through the Sameness is not right, because it might cause people to have a wrong choice, and they wouldn't find out if that is correct or not.

Jonas learns and finds out about the colors, which is that communities don't have. Then Jonas thinks that it isn't fair nothing has color. Jonas thinks nothing has color is not fair because it makes people to have wrong choice.

The last blog post for The White Mountains

I finished reading book " The White Mountains". I realized that something was happening to Will by the time settings characters change.I can say Will changed every part of the story, by the actions or minds. Still Will changed from beginning of the story through the middle and to last part.

First of all when Will was just a normal and selfish boy lived in Wherton, just as others he fought with his cousin; Henry. And he didn't know nothing about the capping, just knew as the ceremony of being a man. He never thought about his freedom. But when he meets Ozymandias, he determines to leave Wherton with his cousin, and heads to the White Mountains.

Second they arrived to France by a help from Captain Curtis, meet other French friend; Bean Pole. From the middle part, a couple of interesting things happen, Bean Pole was so right and stubborn, Will had another opinion and this causes a conflict. During the journey, Will has a tons of conflict with Bean Pole and Henry, just because their thoughts are different. Then they move to The castle of red tower.

Next this is also the interesting one, by the time past in the red tower Will considers about his future, whether freedom or luxury and safe life in the castle. Will also begins to have a feeling about Eloise, then he realized she's capped. Later Will determines to leave the castle, which means that he chose freedom than luxury. Later on, Will faces the Tripods during the beginning of journey in the White mountains. Lastly he snatches the freedom and victory!

The theme of the castle of Red Tower is freedom, people live with rules from the tower and live peacefully as they are just living a normal life without capped and are obedient to the Tripods. However they are still capped. Another moment in the chapter justify that theme is freedom, Comte and Comtesse treat Will, Henry, and Bean Pole generously, even though they are strange and awkward to them, speak different languages and they are escapees. Even Comte and Comtesse asks them to stay with them and offer him a job as a knight. But if this happened in other town ruler would probably treat them like a beast and let them being capped. All people enjoys together during the Queen of the Tournament competetion. Eloise feels so happy about serving the Tripods ,as if they are going somewhere like heaven. According to couple of snapshot from chapter 6, I can tell you that the theme of the castle of red tower is freedom.

Six days ago we had a literature circle discussion, with only 3 people because Brandon was on holiday. There were Austin, Seth and Me.While we were discussing about the significant passages, I wondered why Austin and Seth liked so much about the grenade passage, something kind of mystery. Austin had some kind of weird question, also didn't seem on the topic, which is "Do you think that people fought back against the Tripods?". Seth and I grade as 'zero' because it wasn't creative question and only 2 answers, either Yes or No. But Seth and mine wasn't great neither.Seth's one was something interesting, but not creative, and I forgot. I got one something creative but it also had 2 optional answers, yes or no. Luckily I was graded as 2!!!! The whole discussion wasn't interesting because we had out of topics regularly. I don't want this things to happen next time.

Bean Pole = Zhan Pole.

The name of the boy who rescued Will and Henry is called Zhan Pole, or Bean Pole, he appears from page 67. I think he will help the boys very well during the rest of journey. First Zhan Pole is quite smart, as an example he studied English on his own and he reads a lot of books. He also realized the truth of Capping and what the Tripods are, as a result he decided to have a journey with the boys.

Another thing is Zhan Pole is quite stubborn as well. In page 68 he hang tough with his decision, which also means he is proud of his decision.
During the Chapter 5 he insists to go under the large hole and wins the argument with Will. Since he is smart enough to lead the boys, I am sure that he will lead them to the right way to their final destination.

The White Mountains Post#1

I read a book named " The White Mountains" .
Will is the main character of the book, and he will have an adventure for the rest of the story. While I was reading 2 chapters, I realized something, that he has couple of similarities with me!

First he is quite adventurous, which means he has a lot of curiosity just like me. In the book Will attempts to have an adventure for freedom and The White Mountains, tries to run away from The Tripods. I also like to have an adventure to enjoy my freedom and looking for something that I want. He also opened the drawer where The Watch of his father's is. When I found something that makes me curious, I begin to look about it instantly.

Second Will is kind of selfish like me. The narrator (Will) doesn't tell enough about what he had done bad to Henry, so that tells when he tells someone about Henry. He is only telling whats Henry's fault is.
When I am involved in trouble and need to make an excuse, to persuade the others, I tell them what offender had done wrong.

Band Assignment- junior

Part. 1

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides and exceptional education that challenges each students to develop the attitudes, skills knowledge and understanding to become a (Silence) highly successful spirited socially responsible global citizen.

I feel that adding a silence after the world "a" creates the best tension. when you add a VOID before the concluding part you might have some questions. As an example what is going on?, what might happen after the silence?. It also makes the paragraph interesting, as you add a void just before conclusion, you might start to think about an answer (release).

Part. 2

There are plenty of the strategies that composer can create tension and release in their music. One of them is composers can start the music with low and soft pitch, then put void in the beginning of conclusion, after that create release with a extremely loud tone, to make sure that audience get surprised after the boring beginning.

New year Resolution..

Snapshot with my friends who are from korea during the vacation
-Taken at Port Dickson

Year 2009 has passed.... And the new year, 2010 is here
To spend another new year with fun and meaningfully, there needs some new year's resolutions. I have made several resolutions for another year.

First, I will absolutely improve on my writing skills, so I can join Humanities without any supports. To practice this, I need to read more books that has good word choices, and keep write example sentences to make sure that I can use the words in a appropriate way.

Second, I would try to improve on my soccer ball control, controlling the speed, etc. Even I would not refuse to do harsh trainings. To conquest my defects, I need to practice on those regularly. Talk about my fault and improvement with my helpers around me.

Lastly I want to get along with students who have various kinds of cultures and skin colors, etc. If I would get along with friends who have different nationalities, i would be able to learn about new culture and share our with them, and also communicate better than before as well.
