The Interlopers Quickwrite

Few example of feuds that have torn families or even countries apart is North and South Korea, China and Taiwan, the Montague and Capulet family, etc. Such Bitter hatred is kept alive by determination and being unable to forgive. It's much easier for someone narrow-minded to keep hatred for a longer time than someone that's open-minded. When you think more and more about the things that made you hate the person, you'll get mad all over again. So by thinking about it, you'll hold onto the hatred rather than letting go. It's also kept alive by not being able to forgive. When you forgive,you let go, but some people can't do that. Some people seek revenge, and that determination of revenge makes the hatred stronger.

Reflection

This time around I would like to change my grades, and my working attitude. I'm certain I have grade that I'm not confident about, so I would like to improve toward academics. Also I would change my working attitude to working even harder so I'm able to get better grades. I didn't like math. My favorite activity was either drama, or psychology class. The activity I liked least was all the tests. I'm not use to having so many tests within a quarter. One thing that I'd like to see in my English classes is to have a writing teacher that's more fun and optimistic. Having the teacher to be less boring, and allow us to do something that we would like instead of just reading from the textbook.

Quickwrite- friends

Friends give each other support, and love between friends. Some friendships last because they trust each other. They may be half across the world, but if they communicate and believe, all friendships can last. Most important is to find a similarity they both share, and of course talking to each other. Without communication or even believing in the friendship, the friendship won't last. If the friends can't find something, not even one, they're going to have nothing to talk about. Which will shorten a friendship.

Some ideas for friendship are love, trust, communication, common interest, support, forgiveness, open-minded, and open-hearted.

Full Circle Response

6) In my opinion the parts of the story that were successful was the anger described by the narrator about Julie. It was also good when they were describing the chance between Terry and the narrator. Almost all details were believable. There were two unanswered questions. Why does Terry Layton stop at the crime scene, and why did he kill Caroline? It's unanswered because it's to let the readers hang and imagine themselves.

Interlopers Vocabulary Story

Precipitous, acquiesced, marauders, exasperation, pious, retorted, condolences, languor, reconciliation, succor

My house is located on a precipitous hill. But even so, there's a lot of marauders that rob your house when you're not home. I don't know how they can climb such a steep and tall hill, it causes great exasperation just by thinking about climbing it. One Christmas when our family came back from town from eating dinner, all our silverware was gone! My sister, who never has her own opinion, was in acquiesced with the situation. She retorted that it was logical that our house would be robbed, since our doors weren't even locked. Our family's pious, so instead of worrying about the house,  they're showing condolences for the marauders. Couple days later, we found out from the local newspaper that the marauders were caught. Without thinking, my parents went down to visit him at the police station. Being tired and languor, they confessed to the police. They told their stories about why they did the things they did, turns out they have an uncontrolable obsession with silverware. They didn't like the obsession. Being overly forgiving parents, the marauders and them reached a reconciliation. Both parties talked it over and reached a solution, and it brought succor to both the marauders and my family.

In the movie 'Inception' a group of highly skilled theives are trying to take down a business, but it can't be done by just negotiating. They have to go into people's dreams and make them think it's real life. They first planned out everything that they're going to do, all the possible outcomes so nothing goes wrong. When they started the plan, everything was going right, but they left out an error.  The error was that while they were driving, they fell of a bridge, and the freefall changes everything. So while they were in freefall down the bridge, they also had to complete their plan. At the end, they had a mystery of whether that was all real, or not.
The truth revealed is the whole story behind the main character Dominic Cobb, and the idea of 'inception'. The consequences of inception is falling into a limbo, where you're in a world with no one but you, and it's almost impossible to get out of a limbo. I would definately recommend this movie to a friend. The movie 'Inception' is a great movie because it requires thinking while watching the movie, which is what makes it interesting. This movie also has a great plot, actors and actresses. It's an unforgettable movie. What makes a mystery story good is the details, the cliffhangers, and all the unsolved event in the story. It keeps the reader hanging, and it makes them want to read more and more.
