The Pillow Book

1.) The most interesting part of "The Pillow Book" was when they were talking to the dog as if he/she could ready talk like humans.

2.) I think Shonagon sent word to Tadataka because the dog was acting strange and unusual so that's why I think Shonagon had sent words to Tadataka to let her now that, that was a totally different dog.

3.)I think that the author is a okay writer when it comes to her writing in her dairy. She tells things as see them. Things in life are hateful, beautiful, and embarrassing and that's how things are in the real world.

4.) I think she means that her typical beautiful day is different in other peoples eyes that might have a different idea of a beautiful day than her.

6.) I agree with graceful things and embarrassing things. People in today's world always get embarrassed and find certain things pleasant and nice. But I don't agree with hateful things because I don't hate things/people I might dislike things/or dislike certain people for what they do or for their personality.

Japanese Poetry

1.) I think that Jade flower Palace has the most vivid images.

2.) "Land Of Plague And Fever." meaning that the land is dangerous, not a good place to be."Wings to Fly With Water" and "Horned dragons" probably have to do with war.

3.) You never miss something until it's gone.

4.) The details that he provide in "Song of P'eng-ya are that they ate, well served rations of food.

6.) The narrators differ their attitude by the writing of the poem the (subject) in Jade Flower Palace." He talks about a palace which is anbanded and demolish. In Ozymandias he talks about a traveler he might and the landscape of the desert.

7.) Yes because it talks about how he got in trouble with the prince who did some wrongdoing, So his poems are base on the things in his life.


8.) His poems are relevant to the modern world because people today write like Tu Fu wrote in the eighth century, they use the same word structure, similes metaphors and etc.

Nicenet Entre'

Yes I'm Sherrod O.Roden and I live in Florida and we have a state wide test called the (Fcat), Florida-Comperhensive-Assessment-Test and it's the most stupidiest thing anybody in the world could think of because once we're given the test nobody knows what's going to be on it and as well the teachers don't even have a clue about it, the material that is given for the test isn't even used once given the test and you have to pass it before the 12th grade to graduate it's not fair because half of the stuff we study for and think is going to be on the test isn't even on there and I mean what the hell we aren't going to use any of the knowledge we lack of gaining because all the test does is test our strengths and weakness ansd I believe it's stupid because they give you question with no sence and expect that you would understand it the first time that you read it......So my question goes right back @ you. Does your state or country have a national wide test that must be taken because we do and it's the dumbest thing in the world I sware.Yours TrulySherrod O.RodenSarasota, Fla Booker High School P.S.- Next time the state decides to give us a state wide test please make sure you can take the test and it make some "Sence" you idoits-Who ever came up with (F.C.A.T)-

Women in Botswana

The way the life is in Botswana for women is unbelievable because, for one HIV was most prevalent amoung women in Botswana, however the percent has declined since 2003.
Women are beat and raped by their male partnes on a daily bases, something like that happening in the U.S just ain't gon'n down, But there have been a number of legal triumps for Botswana women in recent years as well Botswana has been the most highest country with AIDS and HIV which are usually passed down to all of there children that they have.


As well alot of the Botswanian women have alot of time on there hands as such as there husbands don't but the living conditions are just not suitable because they walk to everywhere they go and as well take most of there time up by finding food for their families, and also they try to go to different organizations and church things so that they won't have to go through all of the pain and suffering with there husbands and other male partners of which who are by choice.

It's Only Up To You

Well to be honest with you I believe that there shouldn't even be a army because the way that BUSH has killed our inoccent lives and cause so much chaos in the U.S today man we don't need any thing. AMERICA takes so many things for granted but still have kids and babies in different areas who wish the had the opprotunity to have and do the things we do today it really doesn't even make any sence, but I belive that the only way a person can be in or want to get in the army or any other thing that has to do with it is by choice not force because I can remember when my teachers and family memebers would tell me about the big draft that the world had and I believe that no one should have to go in it if they don't want to so NO there is no problem with women getting into it but it has to be by choice not force and let everyone live there lifes because no matter what if we weren't in war tell me how the world would be hummm..... Makes you think and wonder hunn because we're so use to the AMERICANS tring to take up everything and be so greety it isn't fair so what ever is what ever BUSH needs to get out now because you know if the world keeps going as is yeh they might just begin to draft everybody in no matter who you are and what your gender is.Sherrod O.RodenU.S Fla,SarasotaBooker High School

Hummm where should I start but anyways I really can't explain how it is to deal with family because it's crazy now a days I mean yeah every now and then it's a blast to live with your family but sometimes it gets a little aggravating and you wish you leaved on your own but I can honestly say stay a child and love everyday that you live with your family because once your on your own that's it because it's crazy your family can critize you so much and still look at you in your face and laugh hummm makes me wonder what does your family really think about you but hey it's all cool though there's nothing that you can do about it except I mean sometimes I wonder how life could it be if I had my own and really didn't need well that's just my opinion
