The Lighting Thief

The end of the last chapter had driving me crazy. I was finally burning curiosity at the end of the story, wondering what will be the next year for Percy?  After reading "The Sea of Monsters" plot for few pages, you'll be struggling knowing where to get the next book insanely.

        Percy done a great job during this summer, and so did his friends. Annabeth and Grover are cute and really great friends. Especially in the water park, when they were going down the ‘Thrill Ride of Love’, Annabeth’s reaction is actually an ordinary girl. Though acting strong and brave, having those tragic and sad stories in the past, she’s simply a teenage girl who maybe wants to play and have fun with others. Being intelligent and coming up with strategies, both Athena and Annabeth are stunning as they solve the problems. Grover may be the cutest creature in the book, having little horns, hooves, acting so innocent wherever he is. Plus, those shoes from Luke really fits him, the ability of flying (like an angel) is absolutely suit for him.

        The fight among The Three is interesting. They’re mad at their stuffs had been stolen like human beings, having misunderstanding among the actually thief and the one behind the curtain. Thanks for Percy, you’ve done a great job for saving us from World War III. 

        Has anyone thought about Hades staying down there getting really depressing works and such loneliness without Persephone, his true feeling there might be as heavy as the one studying boring stuff and couldn’t join others in the playground. Poor Hades. By contrast, Zeus and others up on the earth may be not as boring as him. Poseidon had said that Zeus will done well as a god of theater, absolutely, can’t agree more. Olympians are pretty bad at these socialization and relationship matters, being envious and having their prides like TV drama at night. Sort of entertaining and fascinating, can’t stop reading once starting chapter1.

Alice's adventures in wonderland♥

Alice, a girl with wonderful and great fantasy, dreamed of interesting adventures in wonderland in a lovely afternoon. Chasing a white rabbit in a hurry, she accidentally fell into the wonderland to start her insane day dream.

The best part I thought of this book was the grin without the cat. It is so impressive and adorable that even when I think of it at night, I would smile. Every animal when Alice was to talking to, I felt like having the ability like that. Although at first Alice kept offending those poor animals that I was really furious about such foolish way to communicate with others, she had improved though. It was really amazing that every time Alice went big and small with having some drink and certain food. I’d like to try if it insists in nowadays. Being any size which ever you want might be excellent but having some trouble on traffic. Though there wasn’t any wonderland with such interesting and fantastic croquet to play in a rose garden side upon the palace.

Everything seems so fabulous and attractive in wonderland that it must be a good place to visit.

Eco Art

Last Friday we had a special morality class that conbines art and English for two hours. Photographer Hsu tell us a lot about pictures he took at Tainan 七股. The picture up there is the one I remember the most. The hill in the middle was built up by salt. And among those hills are fields that people there used to dry the salt from the sea. But nowadays, salt is actually made from factories. Those in Tainan are there for sightseeing though.

The color up in the sky is pure and clean above the field. The reflection of the dawn on the water is directly spreading interesting mixing of blue and purple. It is fantastic that the field also made the reflection like windows on the ground.

A Special Day for us

 Yesterday, our  alumnae had come back to our school. They were already Grandmothers, having their old husband together, smiling gently with happiness. Since they graduated from here, it has been a long long time. How would they feel when they saw all new changes around the school and students here studying and enjoying their youthhood?
Maybe some day in the future, but I'm really not certain about it, we may wear an old sunglasses and an impressive funny hat, coming back to our sweet memories. Aside from this, our school marching band and military are briliant, they did a great job. They were sparkling under the sunshine. Steadiy and gracefully, there is no doubt that we are the best. We're proud of you all.

Treasure Island

     
      Jim is a kind and smart boy, interested in adventures and having great courage. He went on the adventure of searching for the treasure of Captain Flint after he found the map. The journey on the ship, working with John Silver, he had battle with the pirates to get the gold.

        I think that Jim is really brave to get on the journey without any family members or friends in trust. To be honest, though it was a map of Treasure Island, I won’t decide to find it. It may lose your life, maybe you can’t get back to your hometown, and watching the horizon on the deck with no food or any ship in sight till whole ship had no one survive.

        Maybe it is too lucky for us to live in the century with no war. We don’t have to worry if the pirates would attack the town or city in night. That might be the reason why people in nowadays are not that fond of finding treasures. But there are more adventures found through the space, jungles, Antarctica…. Some search for the mysterious in the ocean, new creatures, material under the ground, finding the changes of the climate, the earth. Adventures for students like us might be some healthy outside activities or things we usually experience every day.
