My grandmother was a person who will never get erased in my memory. To select a theme about her life would be 'very understanding'. My grandma passed away when I was young. Even though she was having a hard time in life and also suffering from cancer, she took care of me since I was young and also always tried to give me the best things she can. Everyday she cooked me very good meals. Once I got in a bad trouble when I pushed a guy who annoyed me and got him a big bruise on his back. My parents tried to punish me but my grandmother always stoped them and said "He is just a little child." Like Lynn my grandma died few years ago. I can never forget her about her kindness and care.

Katie began to feel angry when Lynn ordered Katie too much. Katie was really tired after taking care for Lynn for days and days, Katie was getting tired and stressed with waking up in midnight to give her sister what she wanted. Katie even got black circles under her eyes. Katie usually woke up directly when Lynn called Katie. But this time she was very exhausted but barely pulled herself up. Lynn ordered her to bring milk. But when she brrought milk to her, she made her face and instead asked for a glass of water. She dropped the cup on the floor and the rug her father bought lynn soaked all the milk in. Katie becamse quite mad and said dad had to buy her. After bringing the water to her, she said there was soap on it and flung it to the floor. Katie, finally becamse angry and said she is ruining everything in the new house which her parents work hard to earn it. Lynn seemed hurt for a moment but then got angry and ask her for milk. Katie replied no. They both said "I hate you" to each other. I think this happened because both Lynn and Katie is going throught adolescence which makes her more sesitive and easy to get angry.

Fact discovered

By studying the Sioux, I learned many information about them. First I learned more about Sitting Bull, a famous Sioux person. I learned more about what he have done and his achievements. I also found that there are various kind of ceremony for coming of age. I found this interesting because in my country there are not lot of ceremony and we don't really celebrate coming-of-age we just learn new objects as an adult.

My friend in Korea named Park Jae Hyoung has a a unique character. He really likes climb or get to the top of a place somehow. He says that it feels really nice when he is on the top of something like the playground or a water tank. I often told him that it was dangerous to get up on some places, but he wouldn't listen. He has another funny characteristic. He is really obsessed with play games outside and other activities in the rain. When it starts to rain, he often said "hey let's go out and play!" Eventhough I get cold very easily in rain, without refusing, I always agreed with him to go out. Also just like Lynn and katie, he would always buy a junk food called "Apolo" it came out in a lot of flavors. This was kind of ciggeratte shaped in the side of round and long but very diffrent in other side. He would always put this in his mouth sticking out, acting like he was smoking. I think this is quite a unique characteristic.

Response For The Quote

I think this quote means that if you fear or have no courage to fight and contribute all yourself in the war, it is sure that you will get defeated. Also I think this means that real courage comes out when you are in the situation put to death. If you fear to do something you will never make it.
