In the book BreadWinner, the Talibans came and take Parvana’s father from their house. Talibans are members of the party that rules Afganistan. It is very sad when I miss my dad because we have to say good-bye when I go to Canada from Korea. My dad can’t come with me because he has to do work so it will feel very similar how Parvana feels because she will miss her father. I think she will feel more sad because her father is taken from the Taliban. Also Parvana will be worried and concerned about her father because she doesn’t know if the Talibans would let him go. So I think she would be very depressed.


    After  Parvana’s mother and Parvana came back from prison to save their father, her mother didn’t move at all and didn’t care about her children even when they were out of food. I think she would be more depressed than Parvana because she is the oldest person in her family now and she will have to take care of her children and have to look for their father. So I think she will very worried but if she doesn’t take care of her children and herself, then they would not survive. I think it is important to take care of her children and herself because they would get more stronger and will be more healthy and if they get more stronger, then they can look for their father.


    I think it is important to be happy and don’t get depressed because then you will not be able to survive and you might get more depressed and sad. So I think being happy and strong is very very important. So Parvana should be happy because then her mother will be happy too and I think making her mother happy is very important because if her mother is happy and strong then she would try to find their father.
 
Question #3 (Should Molly’s mom have told the school about the incident in the forest?)

If Molly’s mom have told the school about the incident in the forest, maybe Molly’s friend might hear about it and bully her more. If people know about the incident, than her friends who bullied her will be very mad and bully Molly more. Also if the whole school know about it, Molly might get depressed and she will feel extremely despair because everyone will tease her and she will be sad. So I think it will be better if they keep the incident secret.



 
I heard how serious is child slavery and I thought that there is not many slaves right now but it was wrong. There is so many children slaves in the world. I am going to take this problem very serious and think how will other children will be very sad. I want to see no more children slaves in the world because that is definitely a very bad thing to happen. I want the government to think more about child slaves and release child slaves. They could send peoples to find peoples and find who have children slaves and put them in jail for several year. This makes my head realized that there is still many child slaves in the world. This is unfair for children who are slaves because some child are free to study and free to play but some aren’t. So that is not very fair for other children. I think the world is getting many problems.


 
1. I will be more positive by thinking positively when I feel bad.                                                      2. I will read more books when I have some time. I will read in Sundays a little bit.

First, I will try a little bit and next I will make it a little harder and harder. So I will start at easy and make it harder and harder. So first I will read 5 minutes and next I will read 7 minutes and then I will read 9 minutes. To think positively, I will try to be a little bit busy, then I won't think negatively a lot.

I am having a hard time in science about moneras and protists. I am also having some troubles in my math about the fraction strips. My skills are improving because I was not good at writing when I was in grade 6 but I can see that I am improving very much on my learning. I learned some divisibility rules for math and it is very helpful. It is like using a jet rather than a car to get to the destination. I wish that I can improve more on my writing and my math because I don’t hate math like some other peoples do but still I don’t like math very much. I still want to improve my skills because I want to get better and get smarter. I don’t like that we don’t go outside and play a lot. When I was in grade 6, we went outside a lot of times. I still like grade 7 and I want to improve more!

I wonder how would August feel because of his face. he might feel so sad or lonely. Or he would feel so sorry for his mother about his face. I can understand August because my mom helps me a lot when I am feeling bad. Also if I was August, I will be so angry and frustrated, but I would be very thankful for Summer who is August’s friend. I would like Summer because she was so helpful for me and she was nice to me. I can understand August because I will feel the similar feeling as him. If I was August, I might  think negatively and get more sad. But it is not good to think negatively. So I will ask my mom what to do. I totally understand August about his feelings.

 
I wonder why Julian was so mean to August. Because there is no need to be mean to other peoples. Julian might wanted to be friends with him, or Julian might didn't like him because of his attitude that didn't talk and putting his head down and saying nothing. But I don't think he teased him because of his attitude. Most kids don't really care about attitude, or if Julian didn't like his attitude, he could just tell him that he doesn't like how he behave.  I think it is because Julian wanted to be friends with him.  Julian wanted him to talk, play and be friends with him and Julian make fun of him because he was too shy to talk with him in a nice way. So I think Julian wanted to be friends with August.
