Because of Winn- Dixie---------------------Kate DiCamillo

TO.India Opal Buloni

Hi! Opal!how are you doing with your new dog, Winn - Dixie. I think it's so strage that Winn- Dixie can smile. You met Winn- Dixie in the grocery store , Winn-Dixie. Winn - Dixie is very kind dog like in the book, "The dog leaned over him, real concerned, and licked his face." I also think he is very smart, because he seemed like that he could understand what you are saying. You did a great job. Winn - Dixie looks very dirty and stupid because of his matted-up hair and some bald part. People probably thought him as just a stupid dog, but you found his value. Awesome! And I really hope that you and the preacher will be a nice son and father. You are saying of him like a strange not father. I hope you feel him real father finally. Have fun with your new friend, Winn - Dixe!!!

EATING HEROES----EATING BUGS OR FOODS?

There are many kinds of eating heroes like eating contest heroes, eating heathy foods heroes, or eating bugs heroes. But I searched only two parts : eating foods or bugs.


Eating heroes(bugs)

*Video

This is the video eating bugs. It's really disgusting so if you are pregnant or a ealder or a young kids or a shocked easily person, DO NOT CLICK.

How was it? Maybe you couldn't understnad why they are eating bugs. There are many different types of people. Some people like to eat bugs like us eating foods. It's hard to understand but I think we should understand them.

*Book

This is the book "Man eating bugs", written by Peter Menzel, Faith D'Aluisio . They visited many country like Austrailla and China eating bugs and took a picture. They also tested eating bugs. Here's the quote from him about eating scorpions.

"The chef and manager appear with a special treat--an appetizer of live scorpions. First the manager puts them in a small bowl of water. The scorpions aren't happy about this. They start thrashing around. A good sign, I decide. If we are going to eat live scorpions, let them be very alive. With chopsticks, the manager removes the scorpions from their bath and drops them in rice wine for a few minutes. The scorpions stop struggling and go into a coma. The chef then scissors off the tail stingers and poison sacs and arranges the scorpions on a plate.... I brace myself, but the experience isn't so bad. It's very chewy with a gutsy, almost fishy taste, but it's overpowered by the wine flavor....”

*Summary

There are people eating bugs. First time searching about eating bugs, I thought eating bugs is really "gross" and I couldn't understand them at all. I just thought they are crazy. But I read some articles and quote from their view. They say that it's a another part of the culture. Some people asked to the readers that why we don't eat bugs. She says the bugs are also the nature, so we can eat. Some people also say that some bugs are good for our health. There are many different types of people in this world.We must not look down some different groups because they are strange for us and they are small groups. We need to understand and respect them. I'll never eat bugs for my entire life, but I'm trying to understand them.

Eating Heroes(foods)


*Video

---------eating hot dog contest(2008)

There was the hot dog contest last year also, in that contest Kobayashi won , but this year, Joey Chestnut won. They said that they regard eating as a kind of the sports.

*Heroes : Joey Chestnut

-training

Chestnut trains by fasting and by stretching his stomach with milk and water.Three days before winning a chicken-eating contest in Boston, in November 2005, Chestnut drank gallons of water in under one minute and ate buffalo wings to get his stomach accustomed to them. As of July 4, 2006, his competition weight was 220 pounds (100 kg).

*Quote

"How much can a human being eat? What is the capacity? I think we'll find out." by Kobayashi.

*POEM

I Like to Eat!

I like hotdogs

I like beans,

I like eating in my jeans.

I like french fries

I like ham

I like eating in my jams.

I like cookies

I like pie

I like eating in my tie.

I like bagels

I like lox

I like eating in my socks.

I like pancakes

I like molasses

I like eating in my glasses.

I like veggies

I like fruit

I like eating in my boots.

*Summary

I like eating tasty foods, not too much. So searching about eating foods heroes was pretty interesting for me. I wonder how can Kobayashi or Joey Chestnt eat almost 50 hot dogs. I thought they are just trying to win the contest. I learnded that they are ready or keep training for the contest. That contest were important for them. I also thought eating too much is stupid, but they are not stupid, because they regard eating as the sports and they try to control to accept that amount of foods. It was amazing for me. Like the kobayashi's quote, I wonder how much human can eat. I don't think we can find out that forever.

Outsiding Reading-When the bunny grows up

When the bunny grows up--------A Little Golden Book

There is the little baby bunny whose parents want to know what he is when he grows up. They guess him to be a policeman or a doctor or a circus clown. But the baby bunny doesn't want to be like those jobs. He just wants to be a nice daddy. I can understand that baby bunny. Sometimes parents and friends expect other things that are different with my thought. But they can not guess ,"Can you guess what he will be?". Sometimes they want me to be something that they wanted to be when they was young. My mother also wanted me to be a doctor. Because she wanted to be a doctor when she was a high schooler. But I want to be another thing, so she understood that. In korea, many parents and teachers want their kids to be something in high position. I know they want their to be a respected person, but I don't think it's good. I know that we will be happy if we do what we want to do. Now I'm happy that my parents respect my ideas like to be a exchange student!!!!!Bye little bunny

I LOVE GYMNASTICS!-------------Jane Feldman

To.McKenzie.
Hi! Mckenzie!!!You're only 7 years old and you have the greatest passion to do gymnastics. I'm so proud of you. Because I know that it's hard to keep practicing hard. I learned piano, drawing, and flute few years ago. When I started those things I was so excited about them, but I had to practice harder and harder, so finally I gave up. It was hard to keep that positive mind for me. I saw a lot of your pictures doing gymnastics smiling happily. I'm glad that you love your things. I really hope that you becaome the best gymnast in the world! Then see you in the TV, Olympic channel!!!Bye! don't given up and keep going!

WHOEVER YOU ARE-------------------Men Fox

there's no special person in this book, just someone outside of this story tells us all of us are basically same. The person said that their skins, lives, homes, words and lands may be different from me, but inside of us are same. In this book, "Joys are the same, and love is the same. pain is the same, and blood is the same. Smiles are the same, and hearts are just the same- wherever they are, wherever you are, wherever we are, all over the world." When I read this book, I was thinking about the war. They are just fighting over each other and kill each other, but like this book they also have their family and pain. Even though this book is for kids, it makes me think about our world again. If people consider about this one, the world will be more peaceful. If we accept this thinking, we can be understandable other people in other conditions. I really hope many people consider this.

The Aristocat---Walt Disney production presents

To. Duchess

hello, Duchess! I think it was lucky that you and your kittens was leaved home by Edgar. You could meet such a nice cat, O'malley. I am happy that now, you are very happy with your family without Edgar. Do you still think the manner is important? Maybe you are changed by O'Malley.
What did you think when you met O'Malley first time? I think you probably thought him as a just wild cat without any manner. I knew that from "Duchess could see that he was an alley cat. He held his tail all wrong." I think you noticed that you don't need any manner in the real world to survive. You need the experience and the skill to live in the world. You got a very nice experience by meeting with O'Malley. You was in the warm and save place protected by your owner, and you was an dependent cat, but now you can live independently!!!!!!!

Guess how much I love you.- Sam Mc Bratney

I like this book, even though it's a book for kids. This book realize us how much our parents love

us. There are a little nutbrown hare and a big nutbrown hare. The little nutbrown hare tried to show to the big nutbrown hare that how much it loves him, but always finally the big nutbrown hare shows that he loves him more until the end of the book. In the end of the book , "Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile, 'I love you right up to the moon and back.'" shows that the big nutbrown hare love his son. Also, this part made me warm hearts. The title,"Guess how much I love you" first time looked like that the pespective from the little nutbrown, but after reading the whole book, I realize that actually this title is from the big nutbrown hare.
