Final Exam
During this school year, I have only received two final exam, which is math. The rest of the tests are either chapter tests or tests about a short story. First, we took our science test, which contains two chapters in our book. For me, I felt quite confident about the science test I did. Because of the notes I did, it is quite easy for me to go through the test. Next I had my French final exam, which to me, was kind of painful. I always suck at second languages. I'm pretty sure that I didn't do that well on my French Final. After that I had a math final. It was not that bad, because we could use a calculator and it is open-booked. I believe I did okay on that. Then finally, I got my English story test. It was about the story of Paul Revier's ride. To me, it wasn't as bad as my French final. I believed that I also did okay on that. This is all my test I have done during this busy finals week. After a couple days, school is done, which means that we are graduating. Then, here comes the best part, SUMMER VACATION.

Independent Reading Project Reflection
In this independent reading project, I have learned that a novel doesn't just include a story and the plot. It contains a lot of literary elements, such as the narrator's voice, tone, form, and also the style. This exercise or project is very worth doing. It let us to look for these elements in the book ourselves. The elements are not things that you could read off the book from. You would have to think a little about how the author write his or her book in order to find these elements. In the written book report, I had put in quite a lot of effort in doing that, it also took me quite some time just doing the plot of the novel. In the project part, I kind of moved out of the book and focus more about the author and information where I could look up from the internet. Such as, about the author - William Golding, some concept pictures of the island and the characters, and also the description of the main characters. With this project, I had learned quite a lot of things about the elements of the novel and how to find them in novels. Which to me is a very valuable experience to have.

My Most and Least Favorite
We read a lot of different kinds of reading materials in this school year. Of course, there are readings I like, and readings I do not like. Chinese Cinderella was one of the novels that I just really don't like. The plot of the book is basically just talking about a life of a women. From when she was a small child till when she became a writer. To me, these kinds of books are quite dull. I would prefer books with a little big more action, such as the outsiders or the hatchet. Books with more actions such as fighting, can make books more fun. Not just dull and boring. Also, books with some mystery could make reading more fun too. Some books without making you think would just let you read through the book without actually thinking about it. Books with mystery could let the reader think about what had happened in order to solve the problem. This actually makes the reader THINK, instead of just reading through the book. Everyone have different tastes toward books, so some people may be thinking "No! You are wrong!!". Maybe some would agree with me too.

Hip-Hop Language
Sitting in my math class
looking out the window, made out of glass
then the teacher told me to pay, more attention in class
I then stare at the white board
like Mr.Bean doing a crossword.
The teacher called me up to the board
to answer a math equation
I walked to the board, with a small confusion
then I answered the question with a lack of determination.
While saying to myself,
is it right or wrong.
As I walk back to my chair
with a slightly despair
I found out that I stepped on a pear.

Epic Language
As the holy bell reached into my ear drums as the time reaches the end of my educational hours. Reorganize my transportation for books, then start to march through the straight passage to my beloved home. Walking down the steps as I elevate down to where my transportation would be waiting for me to bring me bake to my beloved home. As my transportation arrived at the gate of the educational building, I stepped out, and approach the transportation. I swing open the opening that leads me in the transportation, then swing it back in. As the heavy machine starts roaring, the round wheels started turning. The machine starts to roam through the long pass ways that leads to my home. As I got home, I stopped in front the almighty door that stopped me from going through. I insert the key and turned as the locks moved and the door swung open. I walked in, dropped my sac of books, and hopped on the relaxing, soft, heavenly sofa. Lying on it is like lying on cloud, so comfortable that you could forget all the problems you have from the past educational hours that took forever. The most heavenly way to end a hardworking educational day.

Triolet
School is painful
but sometimes fun
Sometimes its even wonderful
School is painful
While eating lunch, you always want a mouthful
of the tasty hamburger bun
School is painful
but sometimes fun

Limerick
There was a man named Osama
Who planned the 911 attack
He got killed by the Seals
