The Blob that Ate Everyone

Alex and Zakie always try to be around Adam’s house at dinner time because she always invites them to stay and eat dinner before go home.

This reminded me that my friends liked to come to my house and my mother always invites them to stay and eat dinner. I can easy to image the situation that they have. But, I do not like to eat dinner in other people’s house because I feel shy to eat with other people's family members which i am not close it makes me feel uncomfortable.

The Blob that Ate Everyone

In the book, “The Blob that Ate Everyone,” there are three characters, Zackie, who is the main character and her two friends, Adam and Alex. Zackie wanted to be a writer in the future and she was writing a scary story named “Adventure of the Blob Monster”. When she showed the story to Alex and Adam their react was always in the same way. Alex always like her story but Adam did not like.

After I see this situation which Zackie had and it reminds me when I was playing basketball. When I play basketball I could not decide to shoot the ball or give to my team member. Some people said my shooting is good but when I was going to shoot the other people say pass the ball because your shooting was not good. It confused me and made ne could not decide to shoot or not.

People should listen to other people’s suggestion but sometimes it makes the situation become worse I think Zackie can listen to her friends but it just a suggestion she did not have to follow.

The Blob that Ate Everyone

I am reading a book named “The Blob that Ate Everyone.” In the story, Zackie Beauchamp is the name of the main character. It is his last name and no one ever knows how to pronounce his name.

When I read this sentence it reminds me that in the school many teachers cannot pronounce my Chinese name. My name is Ming-Yuan but many teachers have problem with the Yuan sound. It sometimes makes me feel bad because it sounds silly to me. After a few days I decided to make a nickname, which is the reason I have a nickname name Tom.

When I read the story I think about what is happening in the story. I can image and feel that how did he felt when other people could not pronounce his name.

Egg Monster From Mars

“Just follow me okay? You’ve got to see them. You’ve got to see the egg creatures. You’ve got to hurry.” This sentence remind me that I also like to tell some one else when I found out what is interesting to me. I remember, I am very curious about different kinds of incents and the way that they prey for their foods. One time, I found out a big red dragonfly is about 10 centimeter wide. It is not easy to see this kind of dragonfly so I called others to come and see. At first, no one believes me that even I try to persuade them to see. When I got there again the dragonfly had gone everything is too late.

When I read the story I try to imagine the picture which Dana felt when she wanted to let her parents know about egg creature. It reminds me and thinks about some similar experiences I had before. It helped me understand more the situation that Dana had.

Egg Monster From Mars

Dana was almost given up that her father will find her and brings her to home. When she was giving up she heard her father said he will search in the lab because Dana is always curious. Dana was very happy that she had a chance to get out of the freezer she said that “Every time I lost all hope, I somehow got another chance.” P84

I remember I like to play games such as video game or game boy. One time, I saw my friend has a game boy and they play with it a lot. It made me really want to have it too. I went home and told my father that may I have a game boy too? My father just laugh at me and at that moment I felt that he was not serious about what I said. When I was almost gave up the car stop in front of a shop. We went into the store and I realized it was a toy shop. My father bought two game boys for my brother and me. This experience made me think that do not give up easily and things which you expect will come to you.

When I read the story I image what is happening in my mind. When Dana was in the freezer with no help, I imaging the situation that he was in. It helped me to feel how did the character felt in the story.

Girl by Jamaica Kincai

Have ever you feel sick and tired of what parents ask you to do and not do? In this story there is a woman who asks her daughter to do everything that she expected and would like to see. When I read the story I use dictionary to help me to understand the story. For example doukona is kind of pudding. After I know the meaning then it helps me easier to follow the story.

It is nice that parents concern about their child. They want them to be the best so they ask them to do what they think is good for them. I saw NEWS in Taiwan, there is a child who stole money from others. He got caught and the police concern about his family. They realize that their parents are too busy and could not really stay with him so he stayed with his grandma. His grandma gave him money when he wants and just let him do whatever he wants. He was spoiled that is why he could not help himself and have to steal money from other people.

Parents are always wanted to help their children. They can talk to you is better than they do not talk to you.
