The Lady or the Tiger' further intrustions

I think the end of the story that his going to choose the door with the lady inside, and I don’t think the princess wouldn’t let him to choose the door with the tiger inside because she really love him so much that she cant even let the tiger to eat him. I think the princess is a nice girl and good heart, she wont do something really bad or to upset her. Because she love him very much she point the door with the young pretty lady inside, and even though she have to loose him rather seeing him eaten by tiger. Maybe its not the right guy for her or not the right time for her to married a guy, maybe someday she will find a right guy for her to married with or she might be the second wife.
And I believe in love that when you really love someone or in love with a person until you don’t really want to see him or her to get hurts or died you wont do stupid things to upset the person u love and if I was the princes I would let him to choose the door with the lady and not letting him to choose the door with the tiger in it.
I think why the author left the ending with not telling what happen in the end because the author wants us to image the story and to understand or maybe the author trying to make it interesting.

Love That Dog
Love That boy
Love that boy,
Like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
Like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
Love to call him
“Hey there, son!”
As the teacher begins to feed him inspiration, Jack finds that he has a lot to say and many ways to say it. All year long, Jack tries to talk about his teacher, his beloved dog Sky, and his life in more in-depth ways. One day, Sky dies because he is hit by a truck. Jack uses poetry and his new joy in writing to cope with this loss, which is quite huge considering that Jack is only in third grade." The words completely captivate him, reminding him of the loving way his dad calls him in the morning and of the way he used to call his yellow dog, Sky. I felt the same way as Jack did when he read this poem for the first time. It gives so much warmth and exuberance within. It feels so good when we can sense the love in that very specific tone our parents use while addressing us. So much of inexpressible joy grows within ourself.
Argumentative and Curious
In the novel, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler the author is E.L. Konigsburg. Claudia is not happy with her life because she didn’t get the same fair treatment as Jamie and her life is boring. Claudia chose Jamie to be her running away partner and they hid at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. While there, Claudia and Jamie found a statue of an angel and began to learn about it. They found out that Michelangelo carved the statue, and that Mrs. Frankweiler told them this secret. Claudia has a bossy and organized personality.
Claudia’s bossy character is seen by the way she talks to her brother. Whenever Claudia speaks to Jamie she always talks in a pushy and demanding way. “Quick, give me the pencil and note pad.” (pg. 144) Claudia does not just ask for the paper, but she orders Jamie to give it and rushes him to do it quickly. She is always in control and expects everyone to do what she wants. When Claudia and Jamie were talking about where to find information about Michelangelo, Claudia’s bossy personality was shown again when she was scolding Jamie about his grammar when he speaks. “What kind of language is that? Look him up under….” (pg. 145). Claudia is always correcting Jamie’s grammar and scolding him for his behavior. She seems to act like she’s his mother. Her bossy personality is quite obvious throughout this story.
Claudia’s is always organized.
Claudia’s organized character is seen by the way she’s organized and planned everything for her and her brother to run away from home. “Five minutes of planning are worth fifteen minutes of just looking - Claudia immediately began making a list. “Here’s what we’ll look up. I’ll take the odd numbers; you take the even”.(pg 144). Claudia is always organizing things about her life, when she does not get the chance to plan things and is forcePrProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
y-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
to act quickly she does not make always make the right decision, like when she had to get to the museum (pg 28) and had to choose between walking, taxi and bus, she chose the taxi, if she had had time to plan it she would have seen the advantages of walking or taking the bus. Her need to plan things is advance is clearly shown throughout the story.

Thank You God (Welcome Morning)

I’m thankful to God for many
wonderful things he teaches me
in this beautiful journey of life
Sometimes, he breaks our spirit,
Just to save our soul,
Sometimes, he breaks our heart,
Just to make us whole,
Sometimes, he sends us pain,
So we can be stronger,
Sometimes, he sends us failure,
So we can be humble,
Sometimes, he takes
everything away from us,
So that we can learn the value of everything!
