Mike the person who is teaching others how to raise fish. Ilunga who is the head of village wants to learn how to raise fish from Mike. Mike says that he needs a pond, so Ilunga decides to dig a pond which is 150m2. It is bigger than a usual size and he digs it with a shovel which borrows from Mike. Digging and digging for few month no mater Ilunga gets fever he still working until everything done.
I think Ilunga is hard working person who works for month and do not really take a rest. In the story when Mike touches Ilunga’s hand and it was on fire one morning. When I see this sentence the picture of Ilunga appears in my mind. His hands are red with dirt. His body is dirty with fever. I cannot picture who can works so hard and not taking any rest. I remember when I get fever my mother always says that I need to have more rest. One time, I got fever but I was still doing some works to pretend that I was strong. The reason that I was doing that is because I did not want to see doctor. I was sure that I will have to take injection if I go there. After I while, I kept doing my works but suddenly my hands were shaking and later on I could not really my arms. I suddenly realize that I needed to go and see doctor.
This experience told me that fever is very serious problem if that time I did not go and see I think I would have some damages in my drain. I think Ilunga should care more about his body but not just working and working. He might die because of the fever.

Egg Monster From Mars
Dr, Gray locked the door and let Dana stayed with the egg monsters in a freezer. “Did he really expect that touching an egg creature could harm me?” “Did he really think it would not rot my skin off or something?”
I remember my parents always say do not go and play sport after eat. I asked myself will it hurt my body if I play sport after eat? After a few minute I think that my body is strong enough to play after finish the meal. I ran to play sport and not even think about what my parents just told me. I ran and jumped only for few minutes I got stomach-ache. I felt sick and want to throw up immediately. It took me hours to feel better by sitting and doing nothing. This experience tells me that better listen to what other people said so I will have high oppotunity to avoid something that I do not want to happen.
In the story, Dana thought the egg would not hurt her but she was wrong. She checked her whole body and when she grabbed her left leg. It was soft and mushy! She suddenly knew what was happening; she was slowly turning into one of them, the lamp of scrambled eggs.

Egg Monster From Mars
Dana and Mr. Gray were in a freezer with the eggs. The door is electricity door Dona could not get out of the freezer because she does not have the controller. She is freezing with no help. “Step away from the door, Dana,” Dr. Gray ordered. “Try to calm down.” “You’ll be okay,” the scientist said. “I take very good care of my specimens.”
When I see the sentence I was kind of scared of Dr. Gray. I could not image that he was going to do such thing to the boy who is innocent. I feel sorry for Dana for staying in the freezer. His arms were so cold with no help and he could not keep himself warm. I think Dana is going to be killed by Dr. Gray but not the egg creature which came from Mars. It is terrible that the man did such thing to the boy and calling him specimen.
So far, from the last chapter the egg was around them with circle shape. Dr. Gray said that they make many kinds of shapes when they were around such as triangle, rectangle, and square. It does not mean they were trapped it can be kind of communicating to each other or shows that what did they see around them. Now, Dr. Gray left Dana in the freezer because he wanted to study Dana who had touched the egg. He was curious that does it cause any deceases or change on Dana. The door is locked and Dana is staying in the freezer with hopeless.

Thinking about Author
My thinking about the author before he was in the prison and after he was not in prison was the same. I do not see any feeling that he regretted what he did. In the story, he talked about what happen to the student and himself. He said that he was a teacher and he fallen in love with one student. At that time he already has a wife and three children. He with the girl who is only fourteen year old was in trouble. He tried to escape to other place but he was arrested by police after they had escape for few days. He was in prison for many years. The student who was fallen in love with him, she started to study the law for helping him to get off the prison. At the end of the story he did not say sorry to the girl or the society which he was living in. This made me feel that he will never feel sorry and want to apologize himself to other people. I do not like this kind of people who did wrong thing and you can feel that they do not really care what they did. He should say to other people that he was sorry. It is hard to trust this person, he did not accept the problem and he was trying to ran away with the girl so I think he should stay in the jail for longer time and do not let him go out so easily.
The Wisdom of Toads
“The Wisdom of Toads” written by Puerto del Sol is a story of a man who is in an Arizona prisoner for having children with a fourteen year old girl. In the story he said he was a teacher and the young girl was his student. He was married to another woman at the time but he ran away with the young girl and the police caught him. He has a bad characteristic and personality which made me feel sick about him.
The book is called “The Wisdom of Toads” because Puerto del Sol writes about how the prisoners lick the toads and eat the fluid they have on their bodies, it is like a drug that can make people feel high. The author has two children who are visiting him in prison and he talks about how seeing a toad in a sandbox in the visiting area which is a natural experience for his children. I think the writer is trying to make himself to be more like who has a positive personality and do things which can show that he cares about his children.
After I read the story, I hoped that this man would never get out of prison. It is kind of a bad example that should not happen between students and teacher. And I am also wondering that why did the girl still helping him to get out of the person. She might have better if the teacher can control himself and not fall in love with the her. Now, she has to try hard and help her husband to get out from the prison, she cannot have normal life that other girl can have.

The Summer the Sun Did Not Blow UP
Do you think it is good to tell a rumor? “The Summer the Sun Did Not Blow UP” the book witch written by Birmati Lakhan. Fiji is an island which in the South Pacific Ocean east of Vanuatu. In the story, all the children are living happily in the village and they play with each other every day. One day, there was a rumor which spread to all the children in the village, someone said that sun would break and all the fire will fall onto the Earth. All the people will be baked. All the children believed in this rumor, they were nervous and worried. They were thinking how to escape from the heat of the sun. They could not eat any food. Finally, the adult found out the reason that they did not eat normally. They told and explain to them about the rumor was not true. After a month the sun still in the sky, everything was the same. Telling a rumor sometimes it makes people feel exciting and interesting. But, it can also hurt people especially people who really believe in it.
The three reading strategies that I used while I was reading the story are thinking the picture in my mind, predict the story is going to be, and I also read slowly and carefully to make sure I understand what I am reading. First, I like to imagine a picture in my mind first every time when I am reading a story. It is very helpful for me to understand and feel more interesting about the story. On paragraph seven they wanted to carry a huge refrigerator to help them to survive from the heat of the sun. I can imagine that how much that they worry about the problem. It makes me feel interesting. Secondly, I predict the story when I am reading the story. I like to guess what will happen in the story but it always different then what I thought. For example, I predicted that all the children will bring a big trouble to the village. On one will live with happiness. But, I was wrong. Older people told all the children about the truth and none of the children think too much about the explosion of sun anymore. The third reading strategy which I used is to read slowly and understand the story. For example, on paragraph 10 their mother told them that if they ate their food they would be given a boat just before the sun broke. For this I have to read carefully that what the mother meant. After I read slowly I know that their mother was trying to make them eat food and not to be worry. It is important for me to read slowly and understand it.
The reading process which works well to me is to read the story slowly and carefully. It is important to do these. If we cannot understand the purpose and theme it will be hard for us to understand and follow the story. The one that I worked well is to predict the story. My prediction is always too far from the topic. Sometimes it is not even connect to the story. Next time I would like to predict more before I start to read the next paragraph. I also would like to read more carefully so I would not miss any part that is important in the story.

Egg Monster From Mars
Dr. Gray who was the managing lab scientist in the lab. Dada told him that it is an egg that she just hatched and she did not know that is that. Dr. Gray told her to go into lab. He closed, locked, and bolted the door.
For me, Dr. Gray is not such a good person. When people lock the door mostly it is mean that they are going to do something that they do not want to show to others.
I remember I bought a video game and hide it in the room. I did not want my mother to see. She does not like me to play any game especially video game. I knew if she found the game she will take everything from me and I will not have chance to play anymore. I locked the door and play the game in my room so my mother would not see and know that I had a game to play.
I think Dr. Gray was going to do such a bad thing to Dana and Egg that’s the reason that he locked the door. So far, in the lab there were Eggs too. Dana could not believe that. The egg monsters surrounded Dada and Dr. Gray. “They…they’ve trapped us!” Dana stammered.

Egg Monsters From Mars
The lab came into view on the next corner. It was a white shingled building. Very low. Only one story tall. But very long. With a row of small, square windows along the front. It looked like a very long train car.
I remember I like to go to school with my friends. One time, we decided to go to school at night time. The building looked normal only one floor tall but is very long too. But, after sun set it looked so old, the glass is so long that can almost cover the whole building. It made us feel scared. We brought a flesh light and walk in the school. It was silence expect the sound that bats were making on the tree. Fortunately, we did not see anything that we were expect not to see.
So far, in the book Dana was going to the science lab and shows the egg to the scientist. She thought the entire scientist would know what the creature is. On the way the egg creature also tried to escape from the shoes box. I think something bad is going to happen to Dana because she is alone and no one can make sure what will the scientist do to the egg.

iPhone Girl
Customers said there are three pictures of a Cinese girl who works in the factory. The reason there are three pictures are on the phone is becaise they forgot to delide them after they test the phone. People say the girl is fired but Foxconn official saied the woman was not fired.
It is not a unusual problem but normaly there would not be any picture on the new products. Apple Company did not give any common maybe they do not want any bigger probelm.
I think the girl did not do anything wrong. she is not the person who took the picture. There is no reason to fire her. I think the factory should concren about the workers in the factory. Everyone wants a product which is new and not other the one who uesd before.
