My SLR Progress Today


1 SLR doing well in ESL
-example
1 SLR.. I am not sure that which one I am doing well. You know it is hard to choose one of them because it is a part of description about me. Oh, exactly there is a one SLR that I am sometimes think I am doing well and also I'm trying to improve it for the environments. My SLR is Live Ethically because last one or few month, I noticed that I am doing something very wrong. What I was doing wrong was annoying and irritating people who are around me. Therefore, I am trying to stay calm and not annoying environments. Also, sometimes I do make people sad so I am also not to make them sad or cry especially my family members. However, if you guys think that I am already being Live Ethically in school. I am appreciate to you drastically. Moreover, I think, now, I am better than What I did before.

1 SLR need to improve
-WHY?
People all have one SLR they have to improve because they are not really perfect even though it is elites or gods includes me. So the SLR that I have to improve is collaborate constructively because I ask teachers or share my ideas not usually. And also I don't think creatively when I am in teamwork. Therefore, I think I need to talk and share more in group works and think creative naturally everytime for improving SLRs.

Similarities and Differences of Pandora and Orphan Boy

Today, it is a time to compare the two myths stories which are called 'Orphan Boy' and 'Pandora'. I love to compare things, stories and other kind of stuffs. There are some of the differences but most of them are similarities.
For the similarities, I found some interesting facts from the story. They both are beginning with a gift but the types of gift are different. One is bad and one is nice. They both got curiosity on the gift with a negative. Also, they didn't think before having curios to do something. In addition, the gifts both came down from the Sky and warned the main charactors about the gifts. However, as you look at the two stories, the old man and Pandora disobeyed to the others. Therefore, old man lost his boy and Pandora gave us a hopeless.
On the other hand, I have some of the differnces from the venn diagram work that I did it with Min Jae. First, there are lots of charactors in Pandora story and only two charactors on the Orphan Boy. Pandora's gift is negative which is box that has beautiful decorations on it and on the Orphan Boy, the gift is very positive for the old man and it is Kileken. Furthermore, Kileken is one of the star and Pandora is created by the gods. Last, Pandora is Greek Myth and Orphan Boy is African myth.
Over all, this two stories are telling me that sometimes the curiousity is dangerous to have in our mind.

Wordle

As you guys made wordle with 15 words about your Pandora Myth and wrote descriptions of the words, I am going to do the same. Though, I am writing this and will post this much later than you guys. Please, understand that I am busy and getting tired of outdoor activities. Okay, let's work it on. [ya ya I know I am retard. +(I am sorry that I change the story a little bit)]

First of all, I chose the word 'Pandora' for the biggest in this wordle because absolutely, she is a main charactor and she was the one who made despair in the world. Furthermore, she is drastically having curios for everything she is watching. So unfortunately, she opened the box by her radiculous curiosity. Luckily, the Hope came out from the Pandora's box and Killed all the wicked creatures and made a peace with its brightness. However, there was the one that Hope couldn't accomplish. It is a Hopeless. That is why the people always have a big failure in their whole life. Therfore, I chose Hope and Hopeless to be same size. Creatures are wicked so I made it small and made brightness bigger than creature because it is the one of details for the Hope.

Next, I created Zeus, Apol, Athena, Aphrodite and Epimetheus in the wordle with all different sizes. This is because firstly, Zeus was exactly a father of all the gods and who commanded to the gods to make Pandora. So I made him almost same size with Pandora . Secondly, I typed Apol and Athena for a same size in a purpose because Apol made Pandora and Athena tought Pandora how to fight. In addition, Apol worned Pandora to not open the box and guided her to Mount Olympus. Therefore, I think they did same value of work for Pandora. Thirdly, on the other hand, I creat the word 'Aphrodite' two times bigger than Apol and Athena because Aphrodite made Pandora really beautiful and valuable. So that Epimetheus fell in love with Pandora which means he received Zeus's gift. Lastly, Epimetheus is the smallest word in my wordle because the story doesn't say about Epimetheus very much.

Over all, by disobeying Zeus or a mistake, Pandora's curiousity gave us hopeless and despair. Moreover, I hate Pandora although she is beautiful because if she was not exist in the world, there will be always peaceful and hopeful days.

BooK ReFlecTioN

I completed to read a book called ' The CAR ' After I read it, I did on the project which was to make a Art Log of the book. For this project, I must choose six quotations of a sentence which decribe the story clearly like yesterday, then I must explain why did I choose those quotations. The reason why I chose this is because I really understood the story well so that I can explain the story with the picture simply. Even though it was my first book that I ever read excitely, I think if I could read it more deeply, I could present my Art Log with technological words, no pausing and with confidence.

Next, I think I did well and improve a lot on drawing the pictures visually that everyone can understand what is going on each quotations. Also, I reasoned critically on what I was going to explain about the quotations.

Last, if I have a time to choose a book, I will ask Ms.Gonnerman to recomand any interesting books that I will enjoy it, for example like 'The CAR'. This is because I think she is specially good at recomanding books to the other people. That is why I trust her and 'The CAR' that I read very excitely.

WoRdlE On PanDorA

My Pandora is my cousin 'Hyun Tae Kim'. When I was staying in Malaysia close to two months I was so bored. I wished Hyun Tae to come here. Therefore, I begged to their family and finally they accept my permission so he came here. When he came here he didn't have a nick name.
I thought very deeply, then suddenly I got idea from Japanese animation. The main characters are called 'Edward and Eric Brother'. So we named our nick name, for example, I am Edward and he is Eric. Cause of Eric, I got the best friends called 'Hikaru and Hibiki", Hibiki is Hikaru's younger brother. Hikaru and Eric was in the same class so they became the first best friends in Malaysia includes me. Unfortunately, Hikaru and Hibiki went to Japan already so he always feel lonely.
However, there is no peace everytime at home. Firstly, Eric annoys me if he get praise from my tuition teacher and if he doesn't understand what I am talking about. Actually, he is not better than me and his speech skills and understanding is less than the other guys so I am trying to fix those for him. But, it is really hard to get him right so I become to have furious usually. On the other hand, there is a advantage for me by him because he is helpful. If I commands him to bring me some water, make coffee or other things, he do everyting for me.
Next, I have fun with teasing him pig or fat. Although he get mad, he never like to exercise. Luckily, there is his favorite sport which is badminton so we usually go out to play it on the coart. Furthermore, he hates vegees so if there is not meats on the dining table, he always please my mother to cook some meats.
In coclusion, although I am mean to Eric which is my family member, I still love Eric.

SoMeThinG FroM LonG AgO...

I can remember this happen clearly because it was the most horrible and complex time that I ever had. I was five and I began to have an athma, I told my mom that I was feeling very horrible but my mom didn't care for a short time. At that day, I also began to vomite all the food at night everyday but I didn't have a fever. My mom felt really weird because my brother was fine at that age but I wasn't.
After a week, it become worse. One day, I was going to faint and couldn't breath every five to ten seconds but luckily, I fought my mind not to fall a sleep and I called my mom with emergancy phone. Unfortunately, she was in the Sauna that time. While I was calling my mom, I accidently loose and empty my mind as sudden, then I fainted. Moreover, I had a dream that someone with black clothes was trying to take me to the middle of somewhere and send me to the sky. I was so scared. Therefore, I ran anywhere really quickly as possible as I can in the dream and instantly, I saw a small spot of brilliant light between the trees. When I went through it , I suddenly woke up and my family around me was all crying because of me. I asked my mom why are you crying very softly and creepy because my voice was hurt by coughing from the dusts. My mom said that my pulse was zero but it became nomal like a miracle. After that, I thought that the god saved the little child spirit of my life so I believed the god as much as I can. But, I don't usually pray for most of my work and my life because I don't like to give my precious time and work which can be myself's improvement. In conclusion, in my memories, the familly's love from that time will be the most important and emotional memory.

MemOrieS

If I am becoming to have a dementia, you better bring me my dog called Candy before I forget all my memories and become mad. This is because Candy was my first dog that I ever had and that is as precious as a gold, maybe more than it. Or if she pass away, you may bring the picture of her.
I met Candy when I was having a english tuition in Korea and I was eleven years old. I was really suprised and I suddenly confused with so many questions that I can't count but I be patient and ask the most important question that I wonder. I asked my parents who is standing beside Candy. "Why did you buy it? For what? You told me that you really hate dogs and never ever like to pet them." They answered the question which was like the story.
When they went to shopping mall and entered the enterence, there was a pet that was looking at them very pittyfully with its eye. However, they just ignored it and continued shopping. When they shopped things that they needed, they came back to their car but while they were walking along the hallway, they saw the dog again in front of the shop very poorly. Their hearts broke half by its eye and they just bought it quickly, making sure no one buy it earlier than them.
Unfortunately, after one and half of the year, my father decided to send me to Malaysia for my studying but I didn't want to. My father was so strict so I couldn't make him consider again. Therefore, I leave Korea and Candy was adopted by my cousin's family. I was so greatful because Candy went to my family's house not like other people's house that we don't know sure about them. In conlusion, I feel really thankful for Candy. She gave me so much love, fun and other feelings that I didn't have before. I will not ever forget her until I die.

My Name


In ISKL, everyone says that my name is a great name and sounds cool but Koreans like to make a nick name with it which I feel so bad about it. However, actually my name has a very good meaning because it means ' If I believe that I can do, this belief will be succeed for whole.' I love my name but most of Koreans tease me with it. This is the reason why I make my new nick name called ' Edward’ The advantage for my name is sometimes I feel like the name is my secret abillity because the meaning of my name works seldomly. On the other hand, my disadventage for it is that usually people is calling me Nam-Ji so I got mad with it. But I understand the people who is not from China, Japan and Korea. This is because their pronunciation is American, English or Europeans not like Koreans.

Lastly, this part is very crucial story of my name for me. I am going to tell you what is it. One day, there was a very heavy rain in Korea and I was going to be born from my mom. When my family heard that news from the nurse, everyone ran out as agile as a cat. First, my father went beside of my mom's room in the hospital. He was very worried but he thought that he shouldn't sit there for a long time, then he got a idea which was calling my mom's mother's sister. Because, she is very famous creator and writer in Seoul until now. So my father called her and asked her, what my name must be, she told him give me a time to think. She thought for a long time watching the raining and a bit sunlight on the dark clouds sky. Finally, she thought that it must be Namgi and told my father about it. Unfortunately, this was a news for this days, she got a really bad cancer that doctors can't cure it. Therefore, she will pass on October which is the month that my birthday is or November. When I heard it I was depressed for three weeks.

Secondly, my brother went to church and gave thanks to the god. He was really wanted to have child so he prayed everyday when the school over and eventually his efforts made it! He thought it was miracle from the god so he prayed for three hours and went to watch my mother. Thirdly, my grandmother ran to my mother's room straight away and helped the nurses and my mother.

In conclusion, I am really proud of my name because everyone of my family members efforted their best as they possible for me. Moreover, I am really thankful to my family.
