1. I was shocked to hear that Hideo actually was lucky enough to find the poster about his sisters. I didn't really like the ending because it leaves you hanging. If it wasn't for the notes you wouldn't have known what had happened to their father. Some of the issued left were to give their mother a good and final resting place. She chose to end it there because it was the best thing that had happened to them since they left Korea.
2. Some of the customs I learned about the Japanese was they are burned when they die and that they also call their siblings Honorable. I think they do these customs to show even though they lived in Korea they still studied calligraphy and dancing to show they haven't forgotten their customs. Well I would still celebrate the day of the dead and Christmas.
3. I admire Hideo because he never gave up. He knew his family needed him and he never gave up. I also admire him because he was very smart to hide in the water while they were shooting him. The thing I admire the most is that he still honers the family that saved him.
4. I learned that the communist would even kill their own. Even if they were in the Korean communist society. I also found interesting that Russia didn't declare war until japan was weak.
I mean they were just waiting for the right moment to declare war.
5. I learned that at war every one can be your enemy even your own friend. I also learned that the world is very cruel, and the world is even crueler. Yet, while some of us fight for what we believe is right some try to save the world, I mean aren't we all humans? We all deserve a chance to live our lives without fear of dieing ever single day, we should be able to go outside with out fear of anything or anyone.

OP#4
1. I suspect yoko wants to help the old man beacuse he was the only person that was ever nice to her. What they have in common is that theyh are both teased by the girls and that they're practicly both out casts.
2. It's the turning point for yoko becasue she saw what her sister is doing so they can have a decent life. She starts to have a better atitude.
3. How would you have felt if someone you knew mother or yours died?

op#3
1.I think they feel that their son may not be alive any more. I also think that they know that they're taking up space. They also want to leave because of all the woman that have been raped and dragged into the fields.
2.I don't think that they should have left him behind because what if he shows up?. I also agree with them because things were getting out of hand, with all the drunk men and everything else like having to dig the trash for food.
3. Why do you think Yoko has changed so much, do you notice any major diffrence?

OP#2
1. I think Hideo is cunning and brave. I think this because he was able to trick the solders that he was dead. I think that he's brave because he's traveling alone along a path hoping to meet his family. Hideo is also like a role model to his siblings because he's always trying to protect them from harm and now Ko is doing the same thing.
2. I would take a knife in case i need to cut something or open a can. I would also bring a dagger, for self protection and to cut through weeds or other obstacles. I would also bring some food, like fruit and vegetables. I would bring some photos in case my home is destroyed i wouldn't lose everything. A mirror so i could use this as a distraction to get away from danger or as a last resort a weapon. I would also bring family heirlooms so my family's history wouldn't be lost. Clothes and a blanket. Clothes so i wouldn't have to wear the same clothes everyday. Blankets so that at night i wouldn't be cold. Money in case i need to but food. An emergency kit containing alcohol, bandages etc. I would bring some string so i could make different things like a fishing pole or as a little rope.
3.The most shocking part was the part when hideo found his Korean neighbors dead. I thought this part was shocking because i though, sure i know why they hat Japanese, but to kill their own kind? That's just isn't right. Not that I'm saying killing is right either.

OP#1
1. I think Yoko is a cry baby at time and can be a bit selfish. She's also very afraid most of the time and she complains alot. An example of her being a crybaby can be proven many times. I chose a sentence that shows she is a bit selfish. The quote is: "No" I protested. "I don't want my blanket stained with blood." I chose this qoute because it shows she's crying about sharing a blanket with someone that needs it.
2. The relationship between yoko and ko is a fairly well one. I mean they're not the best sisters in the whole world but they're not the worst either. Yoko and ko can bicker at times but they do love each other. Yoko calls ko bossy because she's ordering them around alot and ko thinks that thats mean. An example from the book might be: "you've go to" ko said bluntly. "don't talk, just walk!" She was getting very bossy.
3. The kawashima reacts differntly to the patients. Yoko is afraid of them. Ko like to help, for example Ko let another patient borrow her blanket. The mother is also very nice to the patients, she gives them food and orders yoko to give the other mother the blanket.

Final
1. I think that the quote means don't let a group control you. They cant control you without you letting them acomplish it.
2. At the begining of the book he was a shy lonley character unliked by anyone the "class freak." When the wave first started he was one of the few to get the pose right. He then after a while asked Mr.Ross if he could be his body guard which showed how seriously and important this club was to him. In the end he was really sad that the one thing he had treasured, that had made him an equal was gone.
3.
a. A example was that Mr.ross was a idol everyone did what he did without question of his power.
b. Kim Jong-il, he may seem like a god but pictures of his victims hardley come on the news. Yet the 63-year-old leader is responsible for the deaths of four million of his citizens. If one includes the dead in the Korean war (1950-1953) and those who have died in labour camps since 1945, Kim Jong-il and his father (dad) Kim Il-sung are responsible for nine million deaths. Measured against the size of the North Korean population, the dynasty has outdone better-known Asian tyrants such as Pol Pot or Mao Zedong.
4. “Avoiding Mob Mentality: A Practical Guide by A Middle Student, for Other Middle School Students.”

4. “Avoiding Mob Mentality: A Practical Guide by A Middle Student, for Other Middle School Students.”
Some of ways you can avoid getting caught up in a mob is stay aware for signs of students threating other students to join. don't join a group unless you no where it leads to. Another thing you have to watch out for peer pressure. The last thing you should watch out for is a leader trying to take over.

PO5
2. A passage that stood out to me was : "yes, you all would have made good nazis,"ben told them. "you would have put on your uniforms, turned you heads, and allow your friends and neighbors to be persecuted and destroyed." I chose this sentence beacuse it showed that how much a little thing like a club can turn into a big club of chaos and racism. I also chose it because it shows that they were starting to act like the Nazi. They were thinking of mr.ross, a tthing he never dared imagine, they thought of him as hitler. As a leader who would bring equalioty above everything. Yet they themselves did the oppisite of what the club,the wave was started for. the purpose of the wave was to learn not to join it and make the wave the terror of the school.
3. Would you have ended the wave the same way Mr.Ross did?, or if differently how would you have ended it?

PO3
1. some of the clues were wen he said that he wanted to let the student feel how it felt to follow a leader. Another clue was when lairies mom already started to question this project.
2.My favorite sentence was: ' You don't have to worry about how popular You are. We're all equal. we're all part of the same community. I liked this passage because it really shows that now istead of the students worrying on thier social life they'll now worry about school and grades. Also now that they are all equals they will really start to support eachother.
3. My question was: Do you think that the pep rally will get more members for the school or that hardly anyone will join?

OP2
1. One clue of the students already useing the motto outside class is for example, when the students went to football practice David said they never won a game because the were always fighting.
2. a short passage that stood out to me was: 'For Ben, what happened the next day was extremely unussual. Instead of his students straggling into class after the bell had rung, it was he who was late.' This passage stood out for me because it seemed preety funny that instead of his student being late it was him who was late.
3. A question i had was, Do you think that the students are taking this too seriously? Or would you have done the same in their place?

The wave
1. This book takes place in Gordon high, Palo alto, California
B. Some of the clues the author gave us were: That in the newspaper office there were typewriters in which nowadays we don't use. Another clue was that they had to work with all the cables in the projector because now we just have to click a button and its on the screen. Another clue was that it said film, because now instead of using films we usually use DVDs or we just get it off the Internet. The last clue was that that they used to smoke there and now days if your in high school you'll get kicked out.
3. A sentence that stood out to me was: he was "contagious," they'd say, meaning he was charismatic. this sentence shot up at me because it means that he explained things so well and he made them sound so interesting that other people wanted to hear about it. I also chose this sentence because if i was Ben i would also enjoy talking such enthusiasm. Or if i was the student i would surely enjoy hearing about all the things Ben had to say.
4. A question i had was, if you could have seen the video how would you have felt. would you have felt like Laurie.

Betty ann
1.The saddest part of betty ann was when it said "some mistakes can't be erased. No matter how old or young we are." I thought this was sad because it's true if you make a really bad mistake you cant change it.
2. I would have standed up for betty ann when they were making fun of her.
3.You may think your words won't hurt the person your shouthing them at but they can really hurt them or even destroy them.

Hypnosis driving
1.She would of passed right through a sweet, temporary sleep into a dark heavy sleep of death
I chose this sentence because it's a awfull feeling thinking you'll wake up later but you never will.
I also chose it beacuse if you're asleep and that happened to you, you'll never know why or how you died.
2. I think it isnt fair of the goverments part to put people under hypnosis because you go in thinking you'll problaby pass on everything except the curve or something. Then all of a sudden you're driving and everything seems perfect then all of a sudden you're going down a hill at top speed and you just crash. When you wake up the people from the car department tell you it was all an illuson and you just have to sign these paper but it's like everything its all still a dream.
3. I thought it was like a clue to the man that maybe he still was in the dream. It could also mean that life is but a dream. I though it meant life is but a dream because ussualy everything that happens in the real life seems lile a dream.

Discover Facts
Today we learned about the great praries and about the tundra. We learned that the snow geese migrate all the way to the north pole. we also learned that some animals that live underground are piccas. Another thing we learned was that when you ussualy have a wet season it's followed by a dry season. So if you were a elephant and you stopped by a watering hole be prepared to share or you might get eaten. There are servall types of birs and monkey in the rainforest. While the monkey's may come out in the day the frogs ussualy come out at night, ehich is the time when they mate.
