Poem Revision
Mom who gives us happiest time
There are so many kinds of poem,but there was only one topic that I interested in. About mom. This poem called ”When I was a small child” When I told Ms.Guarino I want to choose this, she said this doesn't has so much fun. I thought she was right, this poem was boring compare with others. This time I just want to keep my choice because I have confident to memorize this. Be honest, this was not a short poem, lucky Daniel found a easy way. There are many sentences that reflects my own life, when I first time read it, I felt “wow we have same experience.” This poem might be written when author was an old age, so author wrote this for expressing he misses his mom so much. This is true, the time we can hide under mom’s embrace is the happiest time. When we getting old,we miss that love very much.
Two stanza build this poem, and each sentence has end rhyme, so it can actually fits any background music. And when I read aloud with expression,it sounds like singing. Speaker wrote this on purpose because mom talking to children sounds soft and gentle. And two stanza use same form that both start with “When I was a small child.” This form is helpful for me to memorize.
At the beginning of the first stanza, author told the scene that everybody in their babyhood experienced. When a baby got hurt and he is crying, mom gentley consoles baby. I remember when I was a child my mom brought me toys for stop me crying. And here author wrote “giggle me” it is a none, but in poem it can be used as a verb which I think it means tickle. This is possible mom wants to make baby laugh. After that as baby growing, they will know life is full of traps, it is necessary to “find your way” thus to achieve the goal. Meanwhile mom plays a role as guide. “Life has difficult decisions and you were my guide. You tought me how to decide. You told me that the bad should be denied.” This is happened in childhood, mom helps children to build feeling of judge which is right which is wrong.
The second stanza is expressing the love to mom. In the first two sentences, it describes when children are growing, they will do certain things wrong,and mom carefully helps children to fix the mistakes.People always say mom plays a role of children’s the most important teacher, although they might don't teach children much academic stuffs,they teach how to be a good person. They build children characteristics.(As I gre. w I’ve done a few wrong things and it’s true.) Author repeated two times that he has so many things to tell mom and it all about love. “there‘s a lot of thing I’ve wanted to tell you.” and “but one thing that I want to know is that” These two sentences shows children have so many things to tell mom because they know mom is the best person who takes care of them. However the part that children want to tell mom is not long sentence. It is just a simple I LOVE YOU. They might feel no matter how many fancy words cannot describe their indebted heart.
Mom dry your eye when you cry, mom hold up you when you fell. Under mom’s protection,nothing can hurts you. This poem actually moved me, I recalled the days I spent with my mom. Mom held bike when I was learning how to ride,that time I felt I was totally safe that mom was not strong or tall,but her care makes me trust her. This poem didn't tell specific what actually happened between speaker and mom,the magical thing is I could related to my experiences. It was just like this poem is for everyone and everyone has their own understanding which based on own memory with mom. I love this poem because it did not using fancy words,but just these simple words built a warm poem.

When I first saw Veeti’s poem review, I liked how he organized. He first explained the poem’s meaning. This was helpful for readers that never seen this peom before because he explained well which included many details. For example he describeb a beautilful and peaceful scene when spring comes. However he fogot to mention poem’s name in essay, he only worte word “March” to be his essay ‘s topic, and I predicted this is poem’s name. It is important to write actual sentence to say poem’s name,or else readers will feel confused.
He did included a part of explaining structure of this poem, he was being a expert of poem’s structure that nothing can skipped by him. This was good whether for him or readers, author usually used seperate stanza to show seperate time period. During he was trying to know structure, he also benifited that understanding peom’s meaning better.
There was one more thing I really impressed he did well, in his conclusion he explained his theme clearly. However as a reader I felt it was strange. In the previous paragraph, he didn't even mention what is the theme. So this is kind of confused, a good way to solve this is write theme in the beginning of the essay as well. Introduction and conclusion responses to each other is the key point how to write well organized essay. And there is a question in the conclusion, this might mess up theme, because question usually shows up in the beginning as a hook.
However I felt his essay lacks something which is own opinion,he just told what author thought. Why don't combine own experience and author’s thought. Author’s thought always not own stuffs, your experiences are yours. Experiences can also be the evidence to support theme.
It was a good work which can see put much effort. And this is how we do poem review. This essay also can be the note when you try to remember some stuffs in poem.

Theater review
All in all this was a very creative and interesting drama, this one was totally different from< Peter Pan> and <once on the island>. It more likes a comedy show. There were a lot of performances,for example dancing,funny show and singing. One thing I noticed is there were a number of actors are good at singing. John’s solo singing was really good.
My roommate is James who in charged of lights. He told me he did few mistakes in the show, it was actually a hard work because it requires jame to focus for a long time. Even I was an audience I felt tired sometimes. William has talent of acting, he is a pure comedian. In a short drama, actors usually don't have much time to show character’s personality step by step. So it needs exaggerated actors to present to the audience. William did a great job,he brought so much fun for us.
“Morning Meeting” is my favorite show and I guess this one has the most people involved in. Every actors play a role of an Cheshire Academy family member. When they stranded on stage, the first person I saw is Ms.Minahan with red hair and weaving. That was exactly same. Mr.Dykemen and Ms.Anderson also showed up,I mean John and Amonia. I was really impressed by their actor’s spirit that can catch people’s detail. Ms.Anderson speaks sound and how Mr.Dykemen stands that leaning on the rostrum with a cup of coffee. And he usually wears a light grey sweater. There is one more teacher I remember who was Ms.Digiacomo. “Somebody really practiced hard” became a popular sentence spoke from her.
Anyway this was the most interesting one for me among previous two. Because I watched the show on Friday night which was the first time,but I didn't see any mistakes. This honor is for everyone, Ms.Guarino,actors,lighting engineers, backstage and audiences.

There are so many kinds of poem,but there was only one topic that I interested in. About mom. This poem called <When I was a small child>. When I told Ms.Gunrino I want to choose this, she said this doesn't has so much fun. I thought she was right, this poem was boring compare with others. This time I just want to keep my choice because I have confident to memorize this. Be honest, this was not a short poem, lucky Daniel found a easy way.

When I was a small child
by Joao De Leon
When I was a small child.
you held my hand and smiled.
When I got hurt I would cry.
you would giggle and dry my eye.
life has difficult decisions and you were my guide.
you taught me how to decide.
you told me that the bad should be denied.
and that family should never be put aside.
you held my hand and smiled.
When I got hurt I would cry.
you would giggle and dry my eye.
life has difficult decisions and you were my guide.
you taught me how to decide.
you told me that the bad should be denied.
and that family should never be put aside.
when I was a small child.
I was a little wild.
as I grew I've done a few wrong things and it's true.
there's a lot of things I've wanted to tell you.
and when we have problems we always make it through.
but one thing that I want you to know is that
I LOVE YOU.
I was a little wild.
as I grew I've done a few wrong things and it's true.
there's a lot of things I've wanted to tell you.
and when we have problems we always make it through.
but one thing that I want you to know is that
I LOVE YOU.

Homework Found Poem
The attack on the World Trade Center was one of the most observed catastrophes in history, and those who fell or jumped from the towers were, briefly, its most public victims. They emerged one or two at a time from a blanket of smoke and fire that rendered mass death virtually invisible. Nearly all the others killed that day -- whether high in the trade center, on board the hijacked airplanes or deep inside the Pentagon -- were beyond the sight of survivors and witnesses.
9/11 is the we should remember,
Because this attack is the most observed catastrophe.
9/11 is the day we should remember,
Because that day World Trade Center collapsed.
9/11 is the day we should remember,
Because there were plenty of people dead.
Innocent people were killed,
Whether high whether high in the trade center,
on board the hijacked airplanes,
or deep inside the Pentagon.
9/11 is the day we should all remember
We lost too much...
9/11 is the we should remember,
Because this attack is the most observed catastrophe.
9/11 is the day we should remember,
Because that day World Trade Center collapsed.
9/11 is the day we should remember,
Because there were plenty of people dead.
Innocent people were killed,
Whether high whether high in the trade center,
on board the hijacked airplanes,
or deep inside the Pentagon.
9/11 is the day we should all remember
We lost too much...

<Right here waiting For you> is like my friend who has been stayed with me since I was a child. First time I heard of this poem when my father was listening to it. So it could say I was actually influenced by my father a lot, but that time I didn't understand what it tells. The only thing I remember author really expressed his emotion strong. As I growing up I know this is a very good example that can be both called poem and lyrics. It is a nine stanzas poem,but each stanza includes different numbers of lines. I think it is because of the difference between chorus and verse. Richard Marx loves a girl and one day he wrote this down and sing to the girl on phone. It is as expected this girl became Richard Marx’s wife.
It is about a man gave a call to his lover telling how hard he is missing her. “If I see you next to never, how can we say forever” This man sounds like suspecting if this love can be forever. On the other hand, he promised “wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.” I think most of the people are moved by this sentence. He uses parallel construction to express no matter how hard the future will be, he will never give up. He will be right here waiting for her. This is not a complex sentence, but author just used the easy sentence to hit on soft part in our hearts. This poem is not hard to remember because attentive Richard Marx wrote certain rhymes in this poem. For examples “oh,can't you see it baby? You’ve got me going crazy” that baby and crazy are match. “ whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks.”which are takes and breaks.

Poem
Richard Marx – Right Here Waiting Lyrics
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
This is a good example of both poem and lyrics by Richard Marx. This is my father favorite song, so I usually heard of this song when I was a child. As I growing up, I know it is about a man waiting for his lover and he doesn't care wherever she goes, whatever she does, he just be there and waiting for her. I was moved by how he expressed his emotion, and his spirit. It is kind of means never give up what you used to do, holding hope to keep going. There are also certain excellent rhyme in this poem which made this poem easy to remember.

Project reflection
New Idea, New Experience
At first, I want to say “ Thank You” to Ms.Guarino. Because she did not required this project must be essay form. I remember last time after we finished <Me and You>, we had to write a long essay. However this time, we have chances to create our own intersting project. So me, johnny and james made a team that we decided to take a film of part of the plot in < Pobby and Dingan>.This is a fun because I never done it before, I really learnt something whether how to act or how to do the teamwork. I think this is a very memoryable experience for me.
When we heard from Ms Guarinao that we do not need to work personaly. What I thought first is to find partners. Then James and Johnny became my partners. Our project team has the largest amount of people in this class, so I thought it seems like it is our responsibility to creative a fancy and difficult project. There are two opotions came out which were PPT and Making Film. One day extra help time Johnny went to ask Ms.Guarino’s opinion. Ms.Guarino said they both good ideas, but we could see from her eyes that she more liked Making film because she might thought this is more creative. We had a short disscusion about what we were going to do. The result is Making Film.
The first day we started, we just found some dialogues from book’s chapter one and chapter six. Our first step was pretty essay, but we did not want to say excatly same with the book, so we changed some sentences. Another reason we changed is there are certain sentences are hard to memory. For showing how creative we are, we directly mixed two apart things together. In book after Rex and Annie has a row, it takes a long time that annie looks old photos to remember past times. We just decide there is no gap between these events. After annie argued with Rex, she was so sad then she took out pictures to express her emotion. Annie saw those pictures for a reason which made the plot not strange.
There are two parts in our film and each parts has two mates to act and another one takes the film. I acted father Rex, Johnny acted mom and James was Ashmol. For my part my sentences were not difficult, the challenge is how to express emotion correctly. Rex as a man he has to take care of the whole family,but he carries too tired, and annie lost her job. So Rex has to suddenly be so angry, when I looked at johnny’s face, it is really hard to be angry. We at least tried three times for that. The last time I imagined I was really Rex and Johnny was really annie. What I learnt is when you want to act well, it is important to forget who you are now but put yourself into the character. After we finished taking a film, we felt it was just strange two people were just having conversation. It seemed like not real. For this difficult point, we came out a great idea. Johnny gave me a drink when I entered the room, this made the scene real. This is one of the skill I learnt from acting. There is one more interesting thing during filming is about muscle. We used James Ipad Pro to film which was extremely heavy, lucky I was strong enough to hold for three minutes.
Post-production was tough work for me, we had to use computer to put in several background music. We combined separately scene into one film. We also communicated with Min, now his music is added in our film. I guess that is kind of a teamwork. After we finished the film, I was so proud of myself. Be honest this is my first time doing big project. I enjoyed when we doing this, it has so much fun because everything was new to me. I learnt things that I didn’t know before, For example how to act and how to process film. This project is a new idea and new experince for me. I like this!

We had a short disscusion about what we were going to do. The result is Making Film.
The first day we started, we just found some dialogues from book’s chapter one and chapter six. Our first step was pretty essay, but we did not want to say excatly same with the book, so we changed some sentences. Another reason we changed is there are certain sentences are hard to memory. For showing how creative we are, we directly mixed two apart things together. In book after Rex and Annie has a row, it takes a long time that annie looks old photos to remember past times. We just decide there is no gap between these events. After annie argued with Rex, she was so sad then she took out pictures to express her emotion. Annie saw those pictures for a reason which made the plot not strange.
There are two parts in our film and each parts has two mates to act and another one takes the film. I acted father Rex, Johnny acted mom and James was Ashmol. For my part my sentences were not difficult, the challenge is how to express emotion correctly. Rex as a man he has to take care of the whole family,but he carries too tired, and annie lost her job. So Rex has to suddenly be so angry, when I looked at johnny’s face, it is really hard to be angry. We at least tried three times for that. The last time I imagined I was really Rex and Johnny was really annie. What I learnt is when you want to act well, it is important to forget who you are now but put yourself into the character. After we finished taking a film, we felt it was just strange two people were just having conversation. It seemed like not real. For this difficult point, we came out a great idea. Johnny gave me a drink when I entered the room, this made the scene real. This is one of the skill I learnt from acting. There is one more interesting thing during filming is about muscle. We used James Ipad Pro to film which was extremely heavy, lucky I was strong enough to hold for three minutes.
Post-production was tough work for me, we had to use computer to put in several background music. We combined separately scene into one film. We also communicated with Min, now his music is added in our film. I guess that is kind of a teamwork. After we finished the film, I was so proud of myself. Be honest this is my first time doing big project. I enjoyed when we doing this, it has so much fun because everything was new to me. I learnt things that I didn’t know before, For example how to act and how to process film. This project is a new idea and new experince for me. I like this!

In my opinion Project is a big work that several people put much effort in it. So for getting a good grade, we are going to make a wonderful film. And we decided to change some plots because it will be more creative. Also it is a film, it is a good idea to let audiences see different thing but not just follow what the book tells.We have three people in this group, me James and Johnny, and we have two scenes which is going to take about ten minutes.
First of all I think it is a challenge for me, I have to memorize what I should say in the film. Then acting needs skills that make people think its true.
For two scenes, we are going to act after mom and dad had an argument and Ashmol found mom was looking at the old photos. Ashmol will have a conversation with her mom for consoling her. These are going to happen one by one which was a little bit different from the book. ( having argument in the first chapter and looking at photos in the sixth chapter )
Johnny is going to be mom and I am father, James is going to be cute Ashmol. I hope I can learn how to act through this project. Anyway I believe we are going to finish this project perfectly.
