In these two week I chose the book "Chicken Soup for Soul", which include many kinds of life story such as family, friendship, and love. The series I read is about teacher who is always seek the best way to educate his student. There is a story deeply inpress me : Mike's parents ended in divorce, and he considered that was his fault, so he became irritable. Later, he started to write down filthy language on slip of paper, and put them on his classmates' desk. He never admitted that the slip was written by him. His teacher, Ms. Wassom gave him a personalized box, and told him he could put the slip written in filthy language in the box. Whatsmore, she made an appointment with Mike, if he put the slip on his classmates' desk again, she would take back the box. In the beginning, the box was filled by slip, however, after two weeks, Mike voluntarily asked Ms. Wassom there was something he can do for her or not. Ms. Wassom always praised and admired Mike after his help , and called him "the best assistant". Gradually, the slip in the box became less, till dissapeared in the end.

I consider the Ms. Wassom is very intelligent and concerned with his students.

In these two week I finished the book. So now I am going to tell you the second and the last phase of Pip's expectations. The second stage of Pip's expectations is that Pip was in London, learning the details of being a gentleman, having tutors, fine clothing, and joining cultured society. Because he always engaged in honest labor when he was younger, he now is supported by a generous allowance, which he frequently lives beyond. At the end of this stage, Pip is introduced to his benefactor, again changing his world.The third and last stage of Pip's expectations alters Pip's life from the artificially supported world of his upper class strivings and introduces him to realities that he must deal with, including moral, physical and financial challenges. The current ending of the story is different from Dickens's original intent, in which the ending matched the gloomy reverses to Pip's fortunes that typify the last expectation. Pip used the perspective of the bitter lessons he's learned to comment acidly on various actions and attitudes in his earlier life.

In these two week, I chose one of Charles Dickens' famous novel ,Great Expectations.  The action of the story takes place from Christmas Eve, 1812, when the leading character is about seven years old, to the winter of 1840.

Great Expectations is written in a semi-autobiographical style, and the story of the orphan Pip, tracing his life from his early days of childhood until adulthood. The story can also be considered semi-autobiographical of Dickens, like much of his work, drawing on his experiences of life and people.

The story is divided into three phases of Pip's life expectations. I will tell you the first phase in this journal. In the first expectation, Pip lives a humble existence with his ill-tempered older sister and her strong but gentle husband, Joe Gargery. Pip is satisfied with this life and his warm friends until he is hired by an embittered wealthy woman, Miss Havisham, as an occasional companion to her and her beautiful but haughty adopted daughter, Estella. From that time on, Pip aspires to leave behind his simple life and be a gentleman. After years as companion to Miss Havisham and Estella, he spends more years as an apprentice to Joe, so that he may grow up to have a future working as a blacksmith. This life is suddenly turned upside down when he is visited by a London lawyer, Mr. Jaggers, who informs Pip that he is coming into the "great expectations" of handsome property and be trained to be a gentleman on the behalf of an anonymous benefactor.

Charles,written by Shirley Jackson,this story talks about a naughty child.Laurie always says what happened in his school at lunch,and mentions his friend,Charles,all the time.Charles is a boy who likes to play pranks on others,that makes teachers and peers annoyed.One day,their school hold a P.T.A. meeting,Laurie's parents attended the meeting,and they wondered if Charles's mother will go.However,at the meeting no one mentioned Charles.After the meeting Laurie's mother sought out the teacher and talked about Charles.Finally,she knew that there was no Charles in this class,Charles is Laurie.

It's often difficult to take responsibility for our own actions.People tend to blame somebody else because we are afraid of being punished.I think learn to be responsible is a great lesson in our lives,and it's necessary.Only we dare to take our own responsibilities can we achieve our great goal in our lives.

So, Dink, Josh and Rose were visiting Warren at their holidays. Warren was a kind, friendly, humorous person. He took them to see New York City's night scenery at the balcony. The view was great, Dink felt him just like an eagle up here. After that, Warren led them to see the painting. "This was painted a long time ago by a man named Claude Monet. It's very valuable." He said. "Is the painting yours?" Dink asked. "I wish it were, Donny," his uncle said. But it was his friend Forest Evans' collection, not his.

Latter, Warren looked at his watch and said "It's time to go downstairs," he said. He took the kids to see the circus in New York City.
