          If the story was told by Don Anselmo, the thought of him and other people is different. In the story, the narrator talk what he thinks not what Don Anselmo thought. If Don Anselmo told the story, the reader would know the specific reason in his mind why did he sell the things that belongs to him and why didn't he sells the tree. The narrator may told us about the reasons why, but if that person say it them self, it would be more trustful. May be that's what Don Anselmo told the narrator and the people but may be in his stomach, he have another reason he don't want to share. Perhaps he had a very sad or very happy or both feelings and stories he shared with that place that just can't be ripped off. When something mean like that to you, it's like a part of your family or it sometime could also be a part of your body. For example, when a member in your family died, you would be super sad. And if a part of your body was ripped off, you would feel a great pain that can't be healed.

The title is very significant to me because by looking at it, I can see the theme of the story. It's like I could guess the story ahead. The title says " STOP the SUN". The reason why I said that it relate to the story is you couldn't stop the sun as so as a happening war. A big influence or a tress could be hard to stop too. But if a magical thing do make it happen, it will cost a big change and a big distruction to the human and the environment around you. It's a big theme that  to people could have different oppinion about it but that's what the title of this short story mean to me.

                                    My Terrible Day
              
               Before telling you this story of mine, you need to know I'm a dog lover, I love dog, I like to teach them cool tricks and I like to play with them although some don't like and won't do it but I try and try more and this is the story of one time ... I was in the U.S, It was about 7.30 pm so it's really dark ( winter time) my brother's friend come and she brought her pet and that dog is really cool, she already know some trick so I try to teach her some more but ...

           " Woof, Woof " the dog just jump at me like a lightning just hit me. Then, I don't know what's next but this is what my mom told me. The dog fly to me and my mom didn't know did it scratch me or did it bites me, I just faint and blood start to come out. Everyone freaks out and my brother's friend bring her dogs home. My brother drive me to the hospital. I woke up while we are on the car. I ask a lot of question but I can't remember one specific one. When I wake up, the it's like I'm on a roler coaster that's about to go up side down. We arrived, It's chilling outside and I just can't wait to get into the hospital. When we sign up, we have to fill in a long, long form. We took the longest to fill it because we have to call my dad to ask for informations that we don't know and can't remember. Then we sit there waiting for our turn, and when I look around, I feel like everyone else should go before me because there are small kids like one and two years old who got their whole body burned, there's a womena and I think her arm was broken and there were several more. I can't remember all but I can remember that there were a lot of burned kids and adulds. I wonder why there were so many people got burned on one  day. We went into a small room, there's this lady with a computer with a finger testy thingy and I put my finger in there and I try to look and check what's on the screen but I can't because the lady turned over so fast. Then the lady says " Perfect" then I go outside, sit and wait for a little more, then they give me an ice cream and I was really nervous because if a dog fly, jump, or touch you and make you bleed, it would be really horrible because you have to take at lease five shots and I think we have to do it several time, so you wouldn't want a dog to attack you unless you want to use a traditional, old fashion, historic way to cure it. If you want to chose the second way, you pick up a chilli, cut it out, use the knife to touch the head of the chilli and touch it briefly until there's a little water on the knife, then you slowly and gently put it on the scratch or bites and I think you cure yourself or just go online and search for a quink way to do it and fast but expensive, go to the hospital. My brother and my mother try to comfort me but I can feel my heart pounding so hard that it feel like it going to fall out. I step into a room and it's an enormous. There are hundreds of tiny other room. There are a lot of doctor with lab coats in there.They look like professional and they have a lot of tools and computer in there. The lab coat are so white and it does not have any blood stane so it comfort me a little. I didn't go in any of the room. The doctor told me to lie down on a bed outside one of the room, I was still scared but my brother says I will be fine. The doctor put a sticky and cold thing on the scar and she say, don't touch it or go to bath this night. I did and it just makes everything normal again. Just then I reallize, if it or something won't except you, don't try to chase it because later on, you might, oh no, you will, you will trip and fall. It's such a horrible, bloody memory ...

Flower of Algernon HW

I have a lot of fun today so I decide to write it down so later on, I can go back through the pages and remember these moments. I went to the "Hospital" to see Charlie today and I'm really suprise that Charlie is learning faster and faster everyday and it was incredible and when I told him that he was really happy. The progress report was soo funny, he wrote a lot of his feelings down and that's good but he makes a lot of spelling mistake though, and there were no commas in his sentence so I decide to teach him that. After I finish ready reading some of the progress report, I look at him in a funny way because it was soo good.  I said to him that he's a fine person and someday, he'll show them all. He don't understands it at all and he ask me why several times but I want him to stay possitive to I didn't tell him what I mean when I say that. Then I say, " never mind, and you know what, if you ever finds out the truth that people around you are not what you think, don't be sad ok?"  Then I continue, " For a person that god give so little, you've done more than someone with a lot of brains and they never knows use." He said," all my friends are smart but they are really good too." Right after he finish that sentence, I just want to cry out loud but I tried to hold it in. He continue," They like me and they never do anything that wasn't nice." That's it, that's the time my tears start to comes out, I can't hold it anymore, it's so hard and horrible. I ran straight to the lady room and just cry out loud in there. I don't want to make Charlie wait for me but I can't. I can't even stop, I look ridiculous but I just keep cying and my tears just won't stop comming out... soo I guess it was not just a fun day at all right?
