king kay

sir ector was really happy that his son has successuflly pulled out the sword of the stone. and when sir kay show everbody, they believe immediatly since he was a popular knight with good leading skills. once he was king, he immediatly formed an army and driven out the invaders, he keep on expanding great Britain's territory and leading war on other countries and seldom considered anything else. he expanded the empire and conquered many lands, but was ruthless and treated his people terribly, kind of like the Assyrian empire, within a decade, he was killed in war.
since king Kay has no son or decedent, his only brother Arthur success his empire and ruled with great wisdom, unlike king kay, he treated the people greatly and everything was peaceful.

it you were there

You have a five year old brother who can "read your mind" with unbelievable accuracy.

  a) if i had a brother like that, i don’t think i will be able to trust him, and i will immediately lose all the privacy to him, which is not too good, but it would be nice if he can read other people's mind for me or if i can send a secret message to him just by thinking it.

q) The postmistress has been spreading rumors about your family

  a) I think i would then just walk up to her and slap her, or sew her for insulting my family, but i think such things will be unlikely since we had good neighbors.

q) Mrs.Whatsit has just knocked at your door in the middle of the night

  a) Then i would be really happy because it would delay my mother from shooing me to sleep and i can stay up longer to play computer games

q) You are a principle of a high school, tired of complaints about a very uncooperative and belligerent girl

  a) I would ask her what is the problem and what is making her act like this, then i will say she should change her attitude towards others

q) You are a child on camazotz who does not want to bounce a ball in rhythm with everyone else.

  a) Then i would just wait for my chance to escape, like joining meg and her party when they visited.

q) You are the mother of the child on Camazotz who does not want to bounce his balls in rhythm with all the other children. You know the consequences of deviant behavior.

  a) Then I would just hide him or escape with the boy together, because I don’t want anyone to force the boy to do anything.

q) You are men with the red eyes. Charles Wallace just kicked you.

  a) Then I would just send all of them to the IT  and let it handle them.

q) Coming towards you are three gray “beasts”, with four arms, no eyes , and multi-fingered tentacles.

  a) I would run for my life out of there, and if they manage to catch me, I would tell them not to eat me.

q) You must decide whether or not to face IT again to save the life of your brother, you may not return.

  a) Of course I will, but I might do it in the other way like raising an army to storm the planet and tell it to surrender.

q) if your brother wants to turn you into the enemy

  a) I would just slap nim in the face and go to destroy the it with an army.

peer pressure is the pressure caused by a certain same group a person belongs to, it usually means the pressure the person undergo trying to be like others, or being affected by other ideas around you, and to want to be like everyone else. i think a lot of my friends want to fit in by having good technology, and i think i myself want to fit in too. peer pressure causes me to want to get a ipod touch and annoying my parents for it. i usually dont do something bad even though i am under peer pressure, like going to an internet cafe. i only do stuff i enjoy, and not what my friends do. i just do what i think is best , and some of it consisted of doing popular and being unpopular acts. i think i am more adt to do what i want, and i want my fried to think for himself instead of doing his best to fit in and being trapped by the "being cool" rules. i wont act uncomfortable if being , and easily persuaded by my peers if their reason sounds reasonable. i think i might not stad the red eye man, because i am not stubborn enough and also because he has good reasons

Of all the science technology, I find the sixth sense most interesting. Because I think we will be using it most often daily if released, and also the most useful. I think the freezing body one is cool too! But I don’t think we will use it daily. I think the main faw is that it uses projector, and cannot be seen well  in the sunlight, but I think they can come up with an idea to improve it somehow. Also the sixth sense is really cheap to build, and can easily be manufactured. If everything goes to plan, I think I will see one in the market after three years.

life or death

imagine you're in a life- or death situation. you're survival depends on giving the correct answers to one of these questions: what do children want most in the world, what do men want the most in the world, what do women want most in the most.



  i think children want  the most is freedom and total control over what we want to do, to have a lot of friends, family , or companions; and to have the ability to control time to hang out with friends, and not to ask their parents first.
   i am not a men yet, but i think want men wants is to feel appreciated and have a decent feeling that they did something that matters to the world, not be lonely and have a lot of loyal and faithful companions around them. and not to be bored .
  i am not a women, and never would be, so im just purely guessing, i think what they want the most is to have all the products from the famous brand like lv , and prada or stuff like that. the second thing i think the women wants the most, based on king author's story, total control over men. and third to have a decent family and to have children they can be proud of.
  i personally would want as a children to control the time to hang out with friends and to get the newest technology, as a men, when i grow up, i think i'll probably go with doing good things that matters a lot to the world. and i think the favorite thing  a women want is to raise their children  that they can be proud of

today is actually really fun and awesome, we had presentations during speech and debate and i really enjoy that class because it is really relaxing, you get to sit there the whole class listning to peoples speech, and in exchange you just have to spend five minutes talking, furthermore, most of the speech are funny. we also played two hours of basketball today and it is really tireing, i think my skills trun out worse than before because i dindnt score a lot of points even thought i shoot at the hoop a lot of times

dangerous sports

in ancient times knights wack each other with sticks just for entertainment and sports, nowadays we do have that kind of sports anymore, we have something less brutal and violent, or is it? i think after reading articles and doing research i found out  that some sports caused a high rate of being injured or even death.  the 10th most dangerous sport is rugby, then motorcycle racing, golf, horseback riding,  football, cheer-leading, surfing,heli skiing(jumping out of a helicopter to ski) ,base jumping, cave diving . i chose the following by death rate and not by total number is because some sports is played by more people, and the number of death's will increase too.
  so, if we have such dangerous and high chances of getting injured, then why do people still do it? i think the main reason is because they are bored and wants to get excited or wants some thrill. and the other one i think is because they want to brag about it.

why science books are worth reading

  i think science fiction books are worth reading because it can show us a glimpse of future, or what we yet did not have, for instance star wars: i can confidently predict that after five thousand years later our galaxy would look just like that, with mutants that can control energy fields known as"Jedi". science friction books also creates totally new culture, and famous morals that will help you through life, like "fear leads to, anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side of the force " and "let go ,you have', or" let your emotions control you, you should not" all of these can help me build up good personality.
  reading science fiction books is not just a hobby anymore, it is turning into a part of life, the spoof you watch on YouTube, the funny TV commercial, the special 32th anniversary phone you got for Christmas. it makes you new again, and it is full of creativity. how could normal people like us think of aliens with superpower that can only be killed within number sequence? science fiction fills us with new ideas and lets you imagine and dream again.
 

Running away from home What would it take for you to run away from home what conditions would make you consider, type or write a scenario.

 I think I am pretty happy with my family right now. They treat me really nice and give me anything suitable that I want. But let’s say if someday I am planning on running away from home, what would be the main reason? I think I would run away from home when my mom started taking my laptop and everything away from me a lock me in my room for three days, or simply just gone crazy and started swing a butcher knife and destroying everything in the house. If these stuff would not happen, the I will be really content to stay at my house and enjoy my life.  

competing against a friend

friendly friendship is always good and helps you i,prove along with you your friends, but to what extent and how far should you go? if you are competing with your friend, you should not backstap or do anything unhornoable, you can wish to win and try your best while competing, but after the competition you must try not to be jealous or too cocky. you must forget what happens during the competition and treat your friend like what you did before the competition.

What is the secret in being organized?

  Organization ia a big part of life and affects you whenever you go, so what is so important about itand what is the secret to being organized?

 Organization means the way you handle things and short them out efficiently. If you handle organization poorly you will be missing homeworks and your grades will drop.

So how do I organize stuff? Always use different folders for different subjects. Have two for each subject. One for worksheets; and the other one for work that already done. Always keep a small notebook to jog down every homework you’ve got.

 Organization not only matters about schoolwork, also computers and a lot of other stuffs too! When using a computer, you might find it hard to find a file or you forgot where you install it. I highly recommend you creat a folders

If I can invent anything I want, I would like to invent a homework writing machine, that way I don’t have to do any more homework, and can play computer games and hang out with friends every day.

  But with all the good stuff about the homework machine, there is also bad stuff about it too! There are reasons why children have to do homework, it would be import the children skill and make sure the child hard, learn understands the work.

  So homework is really boring and hard, but it has its necessities in skills development, but still, making a homework doing robot would not be such a bad idea, and I think I would give it a try.

after what happened yesterday, today just seems like the most boring and  annoying, and ordinary school day, and today actually feels like monday. nothing special happened, but i had a lot of french homework to catch up with since we missed the french class in monday, it is really hard since we had to make senteces in french and i had to make 5. i managed to do it withing eleven ten

What makes you laugh? Do you like wild and crazy physical actions? Do you prefer clever wordplay? Jot down some of the things in TV shows and songs that you find funny.

There are a lot of thing that makes me laugh, one of them is sudden wild movements and wild funny faces. When we are in sixth grade all of six grade boys made crazy movements lat makes me laugh my stomach off. And when we are really mad at each other, one of us would make a funny face that makes us just forget everything that and burst out laughing.

 Another thing that makes me really happy is and laughs a lot is the star war

rs jokes. The I like the movie very musch and I don’t know why, I just felt very funny hearing the jokes.

names

 Name are very strange and mysterious, it represents a person or a living thing. Actually it represents everything; language itself is made up of thousands of different names. So what is the name that represents and is extually an image of me? My name is Steven Tsay , my dad choose call to Steven because it was a popular name at that time, while Tsay, of course came from my Chinese family name. It was passed down through generations since the people living in the Tsay village in china, everybody living in that village has the same family name, and that is what my family name is named after, the earliest village in which our ancestors lived in.

from the mix up files of Mrs.basil E Frankweiler my prediction

I think this book after looking at the cover of the book that this book might be about museum stuff like night at the museum, but there might be some mystery and tension in here, and I think the story is a mystery book because of the title including the words “the mixed up files” and that this book might be interesting because of the honor medal on the front cove of the book.

  Also, I found  a lot of appearance of this book at the bookstore and a lot of places where people mention them, so I am looking forward to reading it.

this term i think i improved a lot on controlling my PR points losing and also home work turn in. but i still think i can improve more by double checking my homework and improving my holt reader's answers. what i don't like about i=this term is that we don't have any more two-minutes mystery anymore, and we didnt have any more 3-d project, however ; what i like about the second term is that we get to have a bonus point by typing journal and also less amount of homework

if i would choose a novel for a book report, i would choose it by the title, first i would look at the bookstore's shelf and try to find a catchy, or recognizable titles from video games, movies, or  tv shows.
  after that i would look at the author's name, weather or not i recognize it, or if i have read and enjoyed his books before. after doing all the research i will filp to the back and see if there are any compliments for the book from famous writers like J.K Rowling etc.after all of the above i should check if the author is new York times bestselling author or not. in the end i will flip to the back to see if the summary is good, and decide weather i like it or not, oh yes i will of course check the price of the book

Today is really good because I get to play computer games for two hours and we played for a long time and its really fun. We also have no homework, so I spend  half of the evening starcraft 2 it is really great and the graphics are awesome. After that I am playing to play violin for an hour, hope I can make it till then. I hope we don’t have a lot of homework tommrow

new year resolutions is a target that each people make to iprove their work efficiency of simply just improve their personalities. so the following is my new year resolutions for the year 2011:

1 try to hand in homework in on time
2 put in your best effort for your homework
3 make my score average at least above a b +
4 play at least 2 hours of violin a week
5 dont spend so much time playing computer games( i can still play a little)
6 watch less TV and do more research on history( since i never took that subject)
7 try to spend more time with my dog, like play and walk him
8 try to clean at least 1 GB of junk from my computer.
9 play more sports instead of using technology stuff.
10 try to be optimistic and view things the positive way( im only saying that caous i ran out of ideas)

the dark is rising

the dark is rising

The dark is rising is about the endless battle between the forces of light ,called the old ones, and the forces of dark. In this book it is talking about a character called will, he found out after his 11^th Christmas that he is actually the old ones and the last, later on he was taken into a time traveling war against the dark….

   At first I hate this book because I think that it is very boring, but later on I starting to like the theme and the author’s time traveling material. Overall this book is ok, but I do suggest the author making the start of the book more exciting.
