Do you think curiosity lead to a disaster or positive..? (Orphan Boy and Pandora)

The South African myth, Orphan Boy, and the Greek myth, Pandora, illustrate curiosity that it can lead to a disaster. In Orphan Boy, the part, which he gets curios, is where an old man doesn’t trust orphan boy and the old man’s farm and cows became a mess. In other words, Pandora, the South African myth, a girl named Pandora receives a gift from Zeus. Zeus told her not to open it however Pandora opens a gift by curios and all sorts of bad things come out but later she learns hope and that can lead to change. In conclusion, curious can lead to disaster but sometimes it can lead to change.

My Name...(meaning?)

A Ra.Origin of my name is Korea. My name is really easy name to spell and pronounce. Many Koreans have hard and difficult name which is hard to spell and pronounce.However my name is different from other Korean names. My name has only 2 syllaballs in it and has only 3 letters. A R A. Very short and simple, isn't it??

When I was born, my family were discussing about my name. My mom wanted to name me Seo Ryung. How weird it is? Also hard to say. Among all the names our family discussed, my dad called out a name. 'A Ra'. He didn't want my name to have Chinese characters. Neither did I. And in Korean meaning, it means "I know". I really hated my name when I was in elementary school. My friends used to tease my name calling me 'What do you know?' Another name they called me was 'Ahh...It's so fun Oh, Cho A Ra'. 'Cho A Ra means I like it. In those years, I wanted to change my name in to another name. However, when I came to Maylaysia and went to school, I started to like my name. Teachers called my name easily than other Koreans or other foreigners.

I love my name now and will always called A Ra. It will also remain in many people's memory.

Common elements in creation myths

Many myths make us understand how the earth, humans and living things were created. Several myths contain common themes of (1)supreme creator who leaves the world, (2)cleansing fire or flood and (3)from nothing to something. Another common elements in many different common myths is the suoreme creator who leaves the world. For example, the Chinse myth Phan Gu left the world after he was pleased with his creation. Another example for this element is African Bushmen myth who the Kaang master of living things left the Earthh where he can see the whole world. Even though their cultures were far away from each other, they share similar ideas. Another similar common element in many myths is cleansing fire of floods. In the South American myth th god sent flood to the Earth because Tepeu and Gucumez caused trouble on the planet. Another myth that connects to this element is the African Bushmen myth. In the African mythm Kaang told people not to use fire but they disobeyed him and Kaang punished people. The time and places of these common myths are different yet they relate to each other sharing similar ideas. One of the common elements in different and many common myths is from nothing to something. The Chinese myth, Phan Gu created the world from nothing. In the Norse myth, Villi, Ve and Odin illustrated Ymir's body when there wasn't anything except them. This tells us that they have connections between them even though they couldn't communicate and thier languages are so different.In conclusion, there is a lot of proof that many myths have common elements relate each other.

Journey quote and picture

I chose this quote for the picture because this quote tells me that even though you are going to dessert or 1000 miles away from your home,or you are going for the longest journey,it takes a single step, another step and continues. It also proves that the good hours you spent on journey ends with a wisdom. I think it also means that every journey or the longest journey starts with a single step. This quote also gives bravery to us. If we are doing a hard and difficult assignment, we start with step by step and it is same as the longest journey.
The picture mathces the quote because the road shows that the route is never gonna end and it also relates to the quote which is the longest journey. If there is no end, I think it can also be a journey. Don't give up even though it's very challenging. Trust your self and say to yourself 'I can do it!'

First day of school

Finally....today was the first day of school..The day i have waited for long ago...
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I was happy to go to school and a bit of nervous because i had to show my new hair style to my friends. Some of them said my hair was weird some good....I liked my friends who made me happy about my hair. Anyway,today was a fantastic day because i met new and old friends. I was especially happy when i met friends. After i got my schedule we went all the classes in order. When we go to the classes, what we did was knowing each other's name and hobby. It was preety much same through all the classes. However, it was fun to meet new friends. Although the classes' duration was short today, i enjoyed it a lot.

Welcome back all the 7th graders who are my friends especially

Yearbook & Drama

Today,,,we had lot of stuff going on.
We had short classes because we had an assembly.
At 9, all the drama students went to the theatre and we changed into our costume.
We had to set the stage, and do lot of stuff. At 9.30, all the grade 6 students except the people who are performing and parents were sitting at the stage...O.M.G~!
I was so nervous. For introduction part, Jamie and Kevin Ma not Kevin Kang went in front of the stage and had a speech, After their speeches, the light went out and the rest of us went out and performed. When it was Jamie and my turn to go out, we made a mistake. We are supposed to pick up fruits when Hyo Won says "....pitch forks and frying pans?" We are supposed to pick up and exit with laugh. However we didn't!!!!! Anyway, later i was nervous but i performed well. After the whole shows, it was lunch and we had a free lunch. There were kim-baps, dumpligs, cakes, cookies, donuts and many delicious foods!! They were made by some of the parents in 6th grade Drama class. My mom also made it too.

We had Drama at the end of the day and we helped to organize the costume rooms, changing rooms and other rooms that we had to clean up. After that we had an assembly.There were awards like sport rewards and environmental awards. I really wanted to get one of them at least. After the assembly is finished, only the 6th graders remained. The 6th graders remained at the theatre because we were saying "Good bye" to the students who are leaving this year. Each of their friends said good things about them and some of their friends cried! Oh,..How sad it would be if it was a bestfriend... I would feel sad too if i am leaving.

After that, we went our own homegroup and got yearboks. Yearbook is a book which contains all the memories and pictures in a year long. It also has all the students in each grades of pictures. I saw my pictures in the yearbook and it was horrible.!!!

Today...? It was kinda nervous and funny day.
