5 Things That Make my Dream School...

The top 5 things that would make a good school, to me is...

1. A big and clean campus with lots of school facilities.
2. Qualified and experienced teachers, who care for students and observe how they're doing in class.
3. New technologies including comfortable chairs, desks, computers, smart boards, etc.
4. Having a later starting time for school to let students sleep more.
5. Having only a few students in each class, for example, at most, 15.

These are the top 5 things that I think a good school should be like...

The Theme of "Charles"

After reading this story with such an unexpected ending, I think that the theme of "Charles" is mainly about creativity. Why do I think that the theme is about creativity? Well, because... throughout the story, Laurie had been very creative when he made up a character (also known as Charlie), and also had been creative when he lied about how Charlie had to stay after school and that everyone else stayed with him. In the story, if Laurie had no creativity at all, his mother would have already found out that he was lying a while ago, the creative lies helped him from letting his mom discover the truth about Charlie/Laurie... A few other examples of Laurie being creative was when he lied to his mom saying how bad Charlie was every single day, and he made it so sarcastic and dramatic that her mom believed him the whole time Laurie was simple just lying...

My Ideal Teacher

In my opinion, my ideal teacher is one who is strict on us with homework and learning, but also is one who is always open to students with jokes and humor. My ideal teacher is one that punishes us when students do something wrong, but not by punishing students unreasonably like some unqualified teachers do... I also think that a teacher should be patient with students that don't understand things right away like some other students might... Also, my ideal teacher is one that cares about students and helps students with problems that they have. However, I don’t want a teacher to be extremely kind, caring, and soft-hearted, for example, one that gives us all the sugar he/she can possibly find, one that gives us absolutely no homework and lets us play or watch movies all day, one that tells us “don’t come to school if you can’t get up in the morning.”, or one that praise the students and please them like god. So… This is basically what my ideal teacher is like…

Bluffy - My blue fluffy bed

Once when I was about 6~7 years old, my parents brought my brother and me to a furniture store since we were about to move, and we needed furniture. So, we walked together down an aisle, but when I saw this blue fluffy polka dots bed, I ran towards it, took off my shoes, and started jumping on it. So my dad sat beside me on the bed and worked with the laptop he had always carried with him everywhere, and my mom looked at the furniture displayed near the bed I was jumping on. Well, I soon got tired of jumping on it, so I lay down on that bed, and fell asleep there… Later when my mom was done picking furniture in that section, she woke me up and asked whether I wanted the bed I was sleeping on. And of course I said yes since blue was my favorite color and I loved fluffy polka dots. Anyways, I was really happy the rest of the time we spent at the furniture store since I was so excited to sleep on that fluffy bed soon.

While we were on my dad’s car leaving the store, I felt really happy that I had my own bed, but dad started teasing me and told me to try saying “blue fluffy” really fast, so I tried… But the words that came out of my mouth fast sounded like “bluffy”… I tried and tried, but they just kept laughing because I didn’t get it right… Anyways, that’s how I came up with a name for my bed, Bluffy…

User Friendly

If someone I've just met told me that his/her best friend is a computer, I'll probably think that he/she is a good engineer and has made some kind of program that can answer a few yes or no questions. I would imagine his/her character traits as very smart and intelligent. I would also think that he's a lonely person since he would think that a computer's reply with a few yes or no's is kind and friendly, and thinks that the computer is his/her friend. By looking at what he/she said to me, I can also infer that he doesn't care about what others think about him/her, which means that he doesn't care when people laugh at him/her about what he/she says.

Although his/her words "My best friend is a computer" probably means that he/she has a living computer, it can also imply that he/she uses his/her computer a lot, loves his/her computer, can't live without his/her computer, or it could simply just mean that he/she likes his/her computer and treats the computer like his/her best friend...

A motivation that overcame my difficulty...

Have you ever wanted to do something that other people think you will never accomplish? Well, I have... When I was about 7 years old, I was terribly afraid of roller coasters since I had once been on a roller coaster that stopped really high in midair for about 1 hour... So when my family and almost all of my mom and dad's family went to Disneyland, my older cousins teased me and said I will never have the courage to ride on a famous roller coaster in Disneyland that goes inside out and upside down... But their teasing and the frustration in my body motivated me to jump on that roller coaster and scream with them, so I did it, I went on the roller coaster... When all of us got down, my cousin said to me"Oh yes, by the way, I was meant to say that you will not be able to go on that roller coaster in the corner..." he said it while pointing to a roller coaster that I couldn't ride at my height...


After that roller coaster ride, I found out that roller coasters are not actually scary, but fun instead...

Judjments Made Incorrectly...

Someone had jumped to an incorrect conclusion about me when I was in fourth grade, once we were sitting at our own tables doing our final exam, I turned to look at the old ticking clock hanging low on the wall to see how much time we had left for our test, but a girl named Gracie sitting beside me thought I was cheating by looking at her answers on the test, so she shouted out "Eve's cheating!" But before I could say anything to explain, my teacher Mrs. Slater got hold of my hand and dragged me to the office to speak to the principle, I tried to explain but they wouldn't even listen... They called my parents to come pick me up, so I went home and explained everything to them. After my parents realized that I didn't cheat, they explained it to the principle and Mrs. Slater, and so I went back to taking my final exam...

That was an example of how I got judged incorrectly, and I hope there will never be anymore incorrect judgements made either by me to someone else or from someone else to me...

The Details I Would Include in A Scary Setting...

The details that I would include in my horror book or movie are the descriptions of disgusting, scary, or terrifying things, also the feeling of suspense, the creepy sounds or voices for giving foreshadowing clues which can either be expressed my words or by real sounds, or maybe even a sudden rise of action in the plot to grab everyone's attention again. For example, this is what I would say in my scary setting... "The disgusting toad with rotten lumpy skin looked into my eyes with a derisive stare and stuck out his long slimy tongue to catch a fly... grrrrrowl... The toad suddenly started growling like a fierce wolf, it gave me that derisive stare again, but this time his body grew big, yellow fangs with bloodstains stuck out of his mouth, it's eyes turned bright red, and it's muscles tensed as it stuck out his tongue and aimed for my head...". The example above is something that I would do in a scary setting, it contains rough examples of the techniques that I have mentioned about writing a scary setting.

The Scariest Movie Ever... Case 39

The scariest movie that I've ever seen is called Case 39, It's about a cute little girl that gets really good grades at school all the time, but suddenly, she drops her grade for every subject and falls asleep nearly every single day at school. Her teacher found it weird that a strait A student could suddenly drop her score like that, and that she could fall asleep during class really often, so the teacher decided to call the social workers to investigate her mysterious family and house to see if the problem is caused simply by her family...

Tons of big locks on her parents' door, weird cracks on the ground, a big hole on the floor with hammers on the side, and weird looking parents... What could be happening? Are her parents simply crazy? Or is it all a joke? But who is the little girl and what is she?

This is a movie that will make you scream and hold on to your mom's arm from the start of the movie to the end. For people who like horror movies, I will recommend this movie to you. But for people who get nightmares for a whole week after they watch a horror movie, you'll freak out, so don't even consider watching it... (WARNING! IF YOU'RE SCARED BUT STILL WANT  TO WATCH THIS MOVIE, PLEASE HAVE EAR MUFFS AND BLIND FOLDS READY BEFORE YOU START WATCHING IT!)
