Article: Mourning parents haunt children's day

By ANDREW JACOBS

The New York times





Link:



It's meant to be celebration of childhood; however, in Sichuan province Sunday, children's day has became a day for parents to Mourning their child becuase the earthquake. The parents whose children had been killed by the powerful earthquake, in fact, killed by falling school buildings.


Parents were trying to demand a answer for their children, moreover, they grieved their children by their's action.


They have a purpose, that is to punish the currupt politicaians.During the actions, the succor still finding the missing children. Over the weekend, the goverment showed that more than 69,000 dead and 18800 are missing(thought to be dead). Meanwhile, on sunday, goverment reported that they tried to drain the water and slove the people who is in downstream.


At Xinjian primary school in the city of Dujiangyan, parents weared white T-shirt and shouted their slogan, which is : Severely punish the corrupted elements in the 'tofu dregs' buildings, means to punish the people who built the building, who corrupt when it was built. They lined up in rows according to the child's class. One woman seemed sadness and then she collapsedm, there were tears on her face.


Goverment said they would punished construction companies who built the schools and who officials who inspected the work.


However, it's hard to say whether the fault was the builder's,because all the hosue build a decade ago



--


My opinion:

According the article, I would like to mourning the people who had been killed by the earthquake. Although I heard the earthquake news after it happened 1 hour, but I couldn't do anything to help them, I was wondering my friend who was in Sichuan, meanwhile, I was so sad becuase it would kill many people's life. I should say, there did have some"tofu dregs"in china and some corrupt politicians; they should be puishment, must be. Also, I learned many things from the earthquake.That was hypocritical people, corporately people and goodness people.


The last thing I want to say is, whatever what balefulness, people should corporately to solve it. Whatever what country you are.

article: Clues sought 25 years after Eastside slaying
By Jennifer Sullivan
Seattle Times staff reporter






This article is talk about a boy who had been killed in 1983, actually he was disappeared on Apirl 30 and two weeks later his body was found in a watery ditch.Why he is in the article? Because of his father has been finding who killed his son since 1983, and he thought he might get a change to reminisce with former classmates, he though probably someone knows something. They also doubt that someone knows something about the murderer, the case still investigating right now.

article: Woman held in cellar for 24 years of incest?

Author:MARK LANDLER (The New York Times)

Link>>





Summary:


FRANKFURT, Germany. The police arrested a 73 year old men who locked his daughter for 24 years and seven kids with her.( three of them had never gone out until the police arrived).According to the news, Author said that the father locked his daugther and incested, even the daugther said she had been incested since she was 11 year-old. Also, some children were abducted by the men, and some children was born in the "prison". After they identified by the police, one child was still in serious condition.

"There is not only one, but a number of rooms: one room to sleep in, one to cook, and there are also sanitation facilities," Polzer said in interview with the Austrian broadcaster ORF.

The "prison" had been existed for 24 years, but before the police arrived, notbody knew that.


My opinion:

Actually, I'm so suprised that somebody can being captivitied for 24 years, and the guy who captivited her is her father. Well, it's so horrible to know that. eventually, the women has been rescued, but her children probably is her father's children. What a horrible relationship. The article infulence my thinking because I can't believe the world has so many bad people, the article teachs me that there are bad people still exist in the world, so I have to be carefully. It shows us, the society needs strengthen the protection to every family.

The most significant thing is that when Harry potter live in Ron's house, he saw many things that he had no opporunity to seen before. Like the magic clock and etc. Also, they wanted to use Floo powder to fly to the Diagon Alley, but Harry made a mistake. A mistake had been made, it means that Harry flew to a wrong place, which place has many evil things.

In my opinion, the most significant thing is the authur's describe.[Actually between these two chapters, all of the things are interesting).I choose it, because I think I like the authur's describe about Ron's house and the evil place.

Well, this book it's quite interesting, so it's hard to explain which part is most interesting; and i m really enjoy the book.

About the book:HARRY POTTER and the Chamber of Secrets

Actually I've gotten this book from my friend, I decided to choose the book while Gail was talking about Novels. Because the book is talking about Magic, there are many magic and amazing things in this book. I've read this book when I was in middle school but I've forgotten it yet, also I read the book in chinese before, so I want to reread the book in English. On one hand, I can trying to review the ditails. On the other hand, it would be harder than other book, especially I can improve my reading still, you know, I had never read an English book before.
I've been reading this book for few days. The beginning chapter is talk about Harry's holiday. He wants to back to His school which named Hogwarts because he didn't like the life in his Uncle's house. His uncle and aunt both are rude,didn't allow him to do many things, like he couldn't say anything about magic, he couldn't do anything without they know. During his birthday, he didn't get any letters from his friends, meanwhile, he met a house-elf who named Dobby. Dobby was trying to let Harry potter not to go to school becasue he said someone was ploting something. I just reading until 26 pages.
Well, I think I like this book, because there are many parts which are interesting in the book and I can understand the joke in it. I love this book.
