guess my tone

Dan was pissed off. His sister was crying. Just crying there, ignoring what ever other people said. He hated it.

"Why does any one care about her? I'm feeling bad too! I'm the one who was more shocked then her. she was the one who started! I don't know why I'm in this situation. How come every body ask here about what happened? she would tell them a stupid lie that only adults will be fooled."

Dan was grounded in his room just waiting his mom to come and yell at him. He knew it. It had happened before, and every time he was in this situation he was thinking of a reason why he has to be grained because he said a bad word to her sister.

Guess the Mood

first of all, think about a 'friend' that you are not that friendly and he his very active or to

active that he says some word that doesn't mean what its meant to be or when they do

something weird like eating a vinegar with out any thing. when they do this, you would

probably feel like this.

Michael Jackson - Happy

adness had been close as my next of kin
Then happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was

Happy, thats you
You made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I till you came in
My life began when happy smiled
Sweet, like candy to a child
Stay here and love me just a while
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was
(till now)

Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let sadness see what happy does
Let happy be where sadness was till now

Clue 5

Who is Effie waiting for?

Effie is waiting for ‘HIM’ who I’m not sure if ‘HIM’ is a human being. I think that he is some kind of god or dead person’s soul. You know that when Nail came in to his house in a rainy day? I think this means that he could come in any form or ways. He comes in a rainy day, which makes ‘HIM’ like gloomy sad looking kind of person. By the thunder makes ‘HIM’ more mysterious. And the music makes ‘HIM’ much more scarier.

This story contains a lot of Christ imagery. Write down three separate sentences from the story that might symbolize Jesus and explain why Timothy Findley might have written these into his story.

“’On a cloud,’ she whispered. ‘A Big black cloud. That’s true,’”

God is mighty that he can do something that human think that will be impossible. When I read about Paul, the very first time he met Jesus he came down from no ware, which we think it’s impossible.

“’Besides, it’s not jus me he’s after.’”

Jesus is not trying to it only my self but also other people. God had sent him with a mission to save anyone who believes in God from Satan and his temptation. However in this story Effie symbolize human and ‘HIM’ symbolize God.

“’Thunder and lightning and music’”

I think thunder represents his strength and lightning also. Music symbolizes about our praises.

Can non-Christian authors reveal truth about God’s world?

Yes they can but not in a direct way. For example this story, Timothy is not a Christian believer. However he has this mighty and powerful which symbolizes God. Whether he wanted to or not. And we all have the basic knowledge about who God is so they could use it too.

Clue 4

1. What specific clues can setting reveal about the theme of a short story?
By having to know the clue of a story’s setting is a big difference. By knowing the setting of the story, you can think about there characteristic of the main character and the culture of the background. As I mentioned on clue 3 to find out the theme of a story you have to know the main character and the background also. For example the background of ‘When my name was Keoko’ is Japanese Occupation and that helped me that the theme of the story.
2. How does an author drop clues about characters and how their actions lead you to the theme of a story?
Authors normally give most of the characters’ clues in front of the story. They start out the story with the main character’s thought then talks about the character next. The direct characteristics are normally shown on character’s conversations. Indirect characteristics are not actually spoken but by the characters’ tone of voice and his actions in the story. As example in Keoko, Uncle’s direct characteristics are young adult, smart looking and have short hairs. Then his indirect characteristics are active, justice, and brave.
3. What is the strongest setting you have ever encountered in your whole life? Describe this place and ponder if God revealed anything about himself or His truth in this place.
The setting in Genesis that God made the universe was the strongest setting I have ever faced. He have cleared himself that himself had made the universe and our very own body one by one. This setting had made me inspired that I will become a Christian or at less tried to be a Christian. Not only in bible but in this SEW, I could encounter this same idea for the speaker’s ppt.
“This Universe is to good to be just made by accident.”
This one sentence, the very moment, I could again face the gratefulness of God.

clue 3

1 How can you figure out a theme in a short story?
There are four method of finding the theme of a story. To estimate the theme, or to get a basic theme of the story look at the title. I will give example about ‘Three Little Pigs’. You can find out that this story is going to be about three little pigs. To find a more advanced theme of the story, then look at the main character. You look at the three pigs, which is the main character; we know that this story will be about pigs. You can look at the climax to find out the theme. Also you can look at the resolution to find it out.
2 What is the theme of "The Utterly Perfect Murder" and how does this theme relate to your own life.
I think the theme of “The Utterly Perfect Murder” is ‘Even though you get mad at your young friend, it’s only a memory.” The reason is, that at first he gets mad at Ralph but he gets satisfy at what Ralph looks like after 16 years. As I remember, I had met a bully that had almost eleven thousand won. We were also friends, too. However, I was mad at him most of the time. So one day, I decided to go the teacher and tell her all the truth. But right before I went to my teacher’s lounge I saw him. The very kid, who had went to a different school, he was just there. Standing in front of the teacher, staring at her. Then I realized that my BEST friend, who knew that I was getting bullied. So he told the teacher for me. However, I never met him again.
3 How is a moral of a story different form a theme?
Theme: The main Idea and the massage of a story.
Moral: the Idea what you can learn from the story.
4. Read John 3:16. Is this a theme statement for God’s story? How does this relate to the truth you might find in literature?
Yes this is the theme of the story of God. As you know, bible is about God story. In this story, all it says is that he loves all people in the world that he wouldn’t let the Satan rule us. He will save anyone who believes in him. That’s why he had made the ten commandments for people to be his people and be saved.
