A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L’Engle, Possible AR points: 7.0

Charles Wallace Murry is slowly dying, of a disease unknown. Meg (his brother) and her “classmates” must succeed in three tasks, in order to save Charles Wallace’s mitochondrion (something in every living thing’s cell) from being unbalanced. Meg takes a journey into Charles’ mitochondria, and defeats the evil Echthori, who tempts the farandolae (stuff inside the mitochodrion) to become utter nothingness.

Write a letter to a friend that describes the theme of the book.  Support with evidence from the book. (A theme is a principle that applies to all humans, such as: learning independence, enduring friendship, making choices, survival, values/morals, courage, persistence, etc.)

Dear _____,

A Wind in the Door is all about balance of the universe, of everything.

Inside a human is a human cell, inside a human cell is a mitochondrion, and inside a mitochondrion are farandolae. Even if one single farae fails to Deepen, or turn into something that can reproduce other farandolae to keep the mitochondrion active, the whole mitochondrion is out of balance. Because everything needs the right amount to stay active. Just like if some of the wolves in a forest dies, then there won’t be anything to kill some of the deer. If the deer becomes overly active while the wolves’ number goesdown, then the deer eat all the grass of the forest, which unbalances the whole forest. It’s kind of like that, a single mistake or death or disappearance can make a big difference. And if the one mitochondrion dies, then a human cell dies. If a human cell dies, then, the human dies. (This is the idea from the book, that even a human cell cannot die, but in reality, human cells die all the time, I think…)

Also, the other theme is that everything needs each other, with that comes responsibility. Sporo was a tiny farae in the mitochondrion Yadah. But if he doesnt Deepen, then Yadah might die, which leads to Charle Wallace’s death. His wish is to not Deepen. But if he doesn’t Deepen, his galaxy (Charles Wallace) is going to die, which leads to Sporo’s death anyways. So, Sporo needs Charles Wallace to actually exist, and Charles Wallace needs Sporo because without him, Charles Wallace will die. And the responsibility for Sporo is to Deepen, and the responsibility for Charles Wallace is to stay alive.

That is pretty muhc it.

Sincerely,

Claire

On Friday, it was Chinese Talent Show.

In the morning, we learnt how to paint. Yes, this kinda chinese painting. I am not really sure what it is called in English. We were only allowed to use two colors, which was kind of boring. But we’re beginners, that’s why. So even if I got nine colors like the teacher has, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. It was so fun, we drew birds, flowers, sail boats, suns and stuff like that. We only used red and yellow!! It was really great, because I always wanted to learn how to do that.

Then, we went to the opening ceremony. They did dragon dance and lion dancing. And some kung fu too. A guy got injured because he fell down on his wrist. He broke two bones on his wrist. Hope he gets better!

Afterwards, we went to the instrumental competition. They were really good! Especially this guy who played my favourite Chinese song on the piano. He won a prize!

We had lunch. It was, just normal lunch. I bought some candy from this guy! I had the duck shape. It was weird. I also bought Sara one, a phoenix one. (I wonder why the candy-maker gave me a duck while he gave my friend a pretty phoenix??) At first, she stared at it in amazement. And then she started licking it.

Hye Won and I went to play badminton next. It was really fun teaming up with her, because we blamed each other for everything! But laughed at everything too. The rival team was totally weirded out. ;P

We had a sixth grade soccer game event. I recieved the news that Barley ate Rice! They are the hamsters that live in my science teacher’s classroom, and one of them ate the other!! YUKK! Anita came running to us, sobbing uncontrollably. Or maybe Rice ate Barley. She said that they found its skeleton… </3 It’s really sick, but really miserble too. R.I.P. Barley or Rice. I can’t remember which died… It’s totally confusing.

Then… I think we went to the closing ceremony next. When the judges announced that some of the Chinese classes just won a trophy, there was this moment of silence, and then they bursted into cheers. The waved their hands and arms around wildly and start screaming with joy. I didn’t even realize that they just got third place. They were so happy. Sara was in it, so she was hyper.

Next, we went to the HS Gym to do some fun activities with different boothes. I was assigned to Booth 12, the same as Kelley, Byron, Kate, and Keaton. We were suppose to make grasshopers (or some kind of insect) out of a leaf! We tried and we tried, but our clumsy hands just wouldn’t do the trick! I entangled my leaf really really bad. By the end, the guy just gave up on us, so he took our old and unfinished ones and replaced it with the ones he made. We were like, -_-” But at least we got something from it. Then I got cotton candy! Yeah.

The rest of the day was more dull and peaceful. I played Snakes and Ladder with Morena on Sophia’s cell phone, and Morena and I nibbled on Sophia’s potato chips. Sophia provided us entertainment and food, thanks, Sophia!

To be continued… (MYG NITE!!! )

What new things did you learn about working with acrylic paint? Be specific.

I learned that you can layer with acrylic paint. You can put layers of different colors on to the background to make it look pretty. And you don’t need to worry if you do something wrong with acrylic paint, because you can just paint right over it. Acrylic paint is really thick. You can make value changes by painting a deep color next to the light color, and then blend it together with water.

 What did you like the most about this project? Why?

I think sketching and chalk-coloring my sketch was my favourite part. I like it, because I like to draw with pencils. It’s nice and easy-ish. And you can be more specific while sketching. I like chalking because you can mix the colors really easily, and you can spread the colors by smudging it with your finger. Also, chalks come in a variety of different colors. I think it is really cool and interesting and new.

How do you feel about your finished painting?

I think my tiger painting is pretty good overall. I worked hard for it, so I think that the result is pretty good. I think that if I sketched the tiger a little bit better, I would’ve noticed that the front legs are tiny. So the front legs are out of perportion, and now looking at it, I realize how awkward it is. But I think that the colors are 0kay. It would’ve been better if I spent more time on making value changes. There are very few spots where I used the value changes technique. I think that my painting is really different from others’.

Summary:

Dar just went through the initiation ceremony of adulthood. His uncle thinks he is not ready to hunt like the other men, so he went on a journey to trade for a rare weapon, the spear thrower to prove that he is an adult. He joined the clan for a few days, learning many new things about survival, carving, and hunting. When he came back, he introduced the ultimate weapon to his clan, and it helped his clan greatly.

•    Create a newspaper advertisement for the book.   Give just a brief teaser of the book and introduce the main characters, but do not include how the book ends.   Use propaganda techniques similar to a trailer of a movie.

Do you want to know how the Cro-magnon men lived fifteen thousand years ago? Join Dar, a “man”, on his adventure to trade for a rare weapon, the spear thrower. And prove himself to be better than his uncle thinks he is. Will he be able to conquer his fears and learn new things about survival? Learn about the ceremonies, the culture, the lives, the traditions of hominids!

Connection:

T-S

The part when Dar realized that it is going to be really difficult for him to live without his sunstone reminded me of when I started practicing flute. I was really determined, and thought that it would be good for me. But while practicing, I realized how difficult it was, and I wasn’t sure if I really should play flute or not.

Today, we had a student auction. Yeah, we sold them to black-marketers and they are being slaved right this moment!! D: No, it’s kind of different. Actually, really different.

You know about the earthquake in Haiti? (Not Haidi, my dear friends!!) Well, Marie and Kathleen thought of a fund raiser idea. Their idea is to take two volunteers from every advisory, and they will be the people you auctino for. The person with the highest bid wins. Wins a P.A., also known as personal assistant. So, on Friday, your personal assitant will carry your books, bring you a morning snack, escort you to the bus, open the door for you if you just happened to pass by, etc. That is actually really cool, don’t you think? Marvelous idea!! A round of applause for Marie and Kathleen!! *applause applause*

A lot of people volunteered to be P.A.’s. Some needed a P.A., like Declan and Austin, they broke their leg.

The highest bidder was Kelvin, who bought Oliver for 1000 RMB!! A round of applause for them! *clap clap* People in Haiti will be saying thank you, while Oliver will be slaving away! What a wonderful sight. Just kidding.

June, generous June, donated 2200 and bought Bailey with 800 RMB!! A super loud round of applause for her! *cheer cheer* Our generous, nice, kind, awesomastical, fantastical, wonderful, super, terrific, spectacular, mavelous JUNE

It was really funny, because Mason and Jonathan really wanted an assistant. Everytime someone bid higher, they’ll borrow someone else’s money, and then try to bid even higher than that. They screamed and shouted, “WHERE’S THE MONEY!”  or “CAN I HAVE YOUR MONEY?? PLEASE?!!?” But everytime, they missed just by one second. Once, Mason got the highest bid, but then, Nathan gave him more money, and yelled one hundred RMB more for him. “HEY, WE’RE BIDDING AGAINST OURSELVES! STOP IT!” Haha. We all laughed at the chaos they made. But by the end, they didn’t get a personal assitant. Too bad. But it really made a scene.

Well, I donated too! Some boys made up this “Pay or Play Fundation Donation” project-ish. So, they’d go around in lunch, make the guy with the harmonica play in your ears. Basically blasting your ears off with unharmonizing notes, and ask for money. I gave them 10 RMB at first, and they said it’s for Haiti. So they left me. They came back a few minutes later, and started playing again. (-_-) I told them that if they simply asked for the money, people would actually give them the money. The playing wasn’t really pleasant, because the guy just kept playing random notes. So I gave them one more RMB and they left…

WISH YOU WELL, HAITI!

It died!!

When I first got my orange tulip, it brought me such joy!! I was so happy, because maybe my science teacher can help me raise it, and it’ll not die too soon! And perhaps, it can grow prettier and bigger! I was so delighted because maybe for the first time, a plant or flower would not die in my hands within a few days!

But sadly, it died sometime during the weekend. This morning, I walked into my science teacher’s classroom, and looked towards where my flower was. And then I stopped, because what I was seeing was too depressing.

“It died…” I said, frowing.

I quickly ran over there, and stared at it for a few secs. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was alive two days ago! How can it… just… die…?

“It died…” I repeated, staring at the withered flower.

“That’s life cycle, Claire, we all die,” my science teacher told me, but smirked with amusement.

“NO! THAT’S NOT TRUE!!” I almost yelled.

“Fine, fine…” my science teacher said to me, still amused by something.

Life cycle? That’s so sad. That’s really depressing. Super depressing.

I know about the life cycle, people. It’s just that my orange tulip’s life cycle was way too short.

It was a bad sign.

I got one orange tulip from Mrs. Carozza, from her little flower bonquet.

The flower was dieing anyways, the Mrs. Carozza let me take it.

I love flowers. I just like flowers. I don’t know why, I think they are so nice and wonderful.

I put the orange tulip into a little cabinet where I put my science materials.

A day after, I found the tulip, withered.

I felt so sad that I wanted to cry. So I showed it to my science teacher.

He put it in a glass of water and cut the stem.

At first, there was no change, it looked just like how it was when I saw it withered.

The second day, I peeked into the counter through the window and saw that my flower was alive! Yay!

So, I am going to take the flower home on Monday, and let it live at home!! It can live on my desk with sunlight from the window! Yay!

[20:25] Claire: Hello, Mr. Hao Chun. How was today?
[20:26] 「βισσδsНσT」: Oh. Today was fine, and weird. I also feel happy-ish weird today. Hi fellows who are reading Claire’s awesome pie-pie blog.
[20:27] Claire: Uh. Sure. Today was fine for me too. For my loyal readers: Please go read Hao Chun’s awesome blood-blood blog.
[20:28] 「βισσδsНσT」: Thank you for the advertisement. Also, please be sure to comment on it. Also on this awesomely-random-awesome post that Claire is about to put up.
[20:29] Claire: Hehe. Yes, of course. Comment, my dear fellow readers.
[20:29] 「βισσδsНσT」: Wait, Claire. Don’t just put up this “neat and perfect” post. Also put up the “clapping hands singing nobody” part!
[20:30] Claire: Sure, sure, my dear friend. Of course, I’ll do as you wish.
[20:30] 「βισσδsНσT」: Ahaha, thank you.
[20:31] Claire: You’re really welcome, sir.
[20:31] 「βισσδsНσT」: Thank you, ma’am.
[20:32] Claire: You spelled ma’m wrong, sir.
[20:32] Claire: Actually, I am not really sure.
[20:33] 「βισσδsНσT」: El Oh El. Whatever. Remember, Claire’s readers, leave a COMMENT on this thing! Or else Claire will cry and the sky will rain Krabby Patties! (:
[20:34] 「βισσδsНσT」: Anyway, Claire.
[20:34] Claire: Ehem, Mister. I have no idea what Krabby Patties are! And please speak appropriate English.
[20:34] 「βισσδsНσT」: What? I AM speaking appropiate English.
[20:35] Claire: “Krabby”? That is a really inappropriate word, sir.
[20:35] 「βισσδsНσT」: In fact, I’m speaking the opposite of Ancient Pie-ese!
[20:35] 「βισσδsНσT」: Hey! Krabby Patties are from SPONGEBOB!
[20:35] Claire: Oh, really? Please excuse my rudeness. I am sincerely sorry.
[20:36] 「βισσδsНσT」: Krabby Patties are delicious hamburgers in the marine world, I thought you knew, Ms. Claire.
[20:36] Claire: Oh. Unfortunately, I don’t watch childish cartoons, unlike someone.
[20:37] 「βισσδsНσT」: What are you talking about, Ms. Claire? Spongebob is ten times better than the poopy TV show that you watch!

[20:38] 「βισσδsНσT」: Yes, I know. I am super-mega-mature, not just MATURE, and I am a genius, not just SMART. Unlike SOMEONE.
[20:39] Claire: Humph. I hope that someone is not me. Uh, I don’t know what to say. I just don’t argue with people that are low-classed.

[20:40] Claire: Ok, Mister Hao Chun.

Vicky invited me, Haelin, and Kelley to some kind of hangout on Saturday. I invited Morena, but she was busy!

I live really near Vicky, so we got on the car together. And then we went to pick up Haelin, who took forever!! Fine, she took ten minutes, but Vicky forced me to listen to Chinese news on the radio, so it seemed like a lifetime. Then we went to Kelley’s compound, she was already at the front door when we arrived.

Anyways, our plan was to get some lunch at Super Brand Mall and watch Avatar at the movie theater. When we got there, we ate Burger King. I already ate at home, so I just had a sundae. They took forever to finish their lunch, so I finished their fries.

But when we got to the movie theater, the line was so long that it stretched all the way out of the “exit”! We kind of gave up on that one. So Vicky called her driver to pick us up. Vicky asked her driver where can we have fun. Somewhere near. The driver recommanded that we go to this mall, they have an ice-skating rink in it!!! We set off to puxi.

We got there, and then went to the sixth floor. On the fourth floor, I had to go to the bathroom, Vicky too. So we went to the bathroom, and figured out that they don’t even have toilet paper in the stalls! We needed to go really bad, so I got out one RMB and put it into a machine which gave us some toilet paper! We have to BUY them! How ridiculous!

Then we went skating. We bought the extremely expensive tickets, and then went inside. The skates totally abused my feet. They tortured them by rubbing on my poor knuckles part and causing the whole thing to burn in pain. It was excruciating, because the skates weren’t comfortable at all. Next time we skate, I am bringing my own pretty skates! But it was so amusing, because we skated around, and at the last few minutes, we played truth or dare! I dared Vicky to fall down, and she did. It was kind of stupid, because she just knelt down. ;D

Then, we went to Starbucks, grabbed some food, and left for Haelin’s place. But then, in the middle of the car ride, Haelin realized that her parents aren’t home, so if she goes home now, then she would be locked out! So we chose Vicky’s place instead.

I’ve been to Vicky’s home before. It is a nice medium size apartment that is really neat and tidy. But she’s got the funnest games on Wii, including this game that I think is called Dance Revolution. Basically, we have to follow the dance steps on the screen by stomping on them on the dance mat.

We played that game. It is so hard! We played the level Beginner, and got an E!! The whole time, I was just sliding on the mat. Like, from Up to Right, and stuff. It looked like I was running on the mat. And I was just slipping on the mat.

After that, the most hilarious thing happened!! Haelin, Kelley, and I got locked out on Vicky’s balcony! So we sang “Nobody” by Wonder Girls. Singing and dancing loudly! We screamed, danced, and clapped our hands in joy. Hehe. It was so fun.. And one of the neighbors saw us, and stared at us intensely in astonishment. Haha.

Read my next post, called, “MSN Chat with a Good Friend of Mine” READ IT!!!

Warning: This post is made of pure random thoughts.

Yeah, get it? IT’S RANDOM! So stop reading or you’ll become weird like I am!

Basically, today, I thought about why people, like me, blog. Weird question, right?

Because blogging is looking at the inside of someone, not the outside. That’s what someone told me.

Is that true? I hope that’s right. Because my outside is not as good as my inside. If you understand what I’m saying. Haha. I am so weird.

I was just listening to a song called Complicated. And it’s about how you shouldn’t change for someone, beceause maybe someone likes you the way you are. Is that true?

I think you can kind of tell I am unemotional right now. Hehe. No exclamation marks allowed in this post from now on.

Ever felt like no one is the right person to talk to? Feeling that way right now right here. Weird, right? But I can always talk to myself. Hehe. It is not stupid.

Maybe I should go back to being shy. I need to be shy again. Because I am way too weird now that my personality changed. Uh huh.

Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I just know.

I just realized all of my posts are not really colorful. Sigh. Too bad.

Boredom can really rot someone, you know that?

Well, I have to go now. Bye.
