Week 7 Reading Diary, continued:Fox-Fire

Fox-fire is an episode from my second half of reading assignment for this week. It talks about a man saw a fox in a garden one day, but the weird thing about that fox was whenever blew its breath out, a ball of fire came out of its mouth. That was something interesting to me to read and I was imaging while I was reading the story how the fox did the balls of fire, and I was wondering why this fox is different than others foxes. also I was thinking if I can do story about an animal become a different animal each night like it changes to another animal each night and just his owner knows about him and then the owner decided to use this animal to get some money from doing shows to entertain people or something like that.

Week 7 Reading Diary:Why Dog and Cat are Enemies

For week 7, I did my reading over the Chinese fairy tales unit. I really enjoyed reading this unit. One of the episodes that I liked is called “Why Dog and Cat are Enemies” and it is a very short and sweet story. It talks about a cat and a dog they were friends and decided to help their owners to get back the luck ring after they sold it, but the cat was so selfish and gets the reward to herself and kept the dog without anything. While I was reading through the story I was wondering if I can change the story to make the cat and dog friends until the end of the story and they can do more adventures together and be friends instead of enemies.

This is one of my favorite graphics. It is wonderful picture to  tell the idea about creativity because maybe everyone knows the same information about anything in life but not everyone can create a new thing from a normal and old one.

Week 6 Storytelling:Don't Be Greedy

There were three friends. They loved each other so much. They were always saying that they could not live without each other because they were friends since first grade at school. Mike, Wu, and Ahmad were living in a very small village where there were not too many people living in that village. These three friends liked to meet in the same place every day and then they went out of the village to enjoy their days by playing some games and meeting their friends from the other village.


One day, the friends decided to go further than they usually did because they wanted to discover new places. While they were standing on a small hill and looking to the wide land in front of them, they saw an amazing green spot. It was looking so different than everything around it.
In the next day, after they finished school they went to see that place. They were thinking that they would spend like two hours seeing the place and have fun and they could be back to their homes before sunset. After walking for almost three hours, they found themselves in the middle of the way and  they maybe still  needed another three hours to get to their destination.

“Let’s go back; it is still too far away,” Wu said.
-    “No, we are not going back because we’re been walking for three hours to see that place and we want to see what is in there,” Mike said.
-  “Yes, and you have to come with us, Wu. We are not going without you,” Ahmad said.
-  “ But our parents will worry about us if we are not at home before eight o’clock,” Wu said
-     “Do not worry, Wu. We will be back at home early,” Ahmad said.

After walking for another three hours they arrived to that wonderful place where there were very many green trees and large mountains. They enjoyed the place and had fun, but they did not realize that the time was too late and it was so dark to go back to their houses. 

While they were walking to find a safe place to stay until the morning, they found a cave and when they entered it. It was so dark so Ahmad took out his phone and opened the flashlight app to see what was in there.The surprise was that they found a very big treasure and it had a lot of money, gold, and silver. They were shocked and surprised at the same time and they decided to divide it between them and everyone get his portion from the treasure.

Ahmad was not happy with his portion of the treasure so he told his friends that he was so hungry and could not wait until the morning to eat and  he wanted to go out to find some food to eat. While he was searching for  food, he saw poison mushrooms and a very bad idea came to his mind and he decided to make his friends eat these mushrooms. When they ate it, they would die and he could take the entire treasure to himself. While he was out of the cave his friends decided to kill him when he came back so they could divide his portion between both of them.

When Ahmad arrived     at the cave his friends killed him and they took the food to eat because they were so hungry and they did not realize that the  mushrooms were poison mushrooms so both of them died immediately after they ate the food. So we can conclude that because all the friends were so greedy and each one wanted the money for himself all of them died at the same time and no one took the money.

Author’s note:

“Why spiders are always found in the corners of the ceiling “is a story about a father. He is so selfish and greedy. He worked hard with his family in their farm and after he saw that the crops were quite ripe, he decided that he wanted to profit by them alone, so he  sent his family to their house in the village and he stayed in the farm alone. One day his son wanted to know the robber in their farm and when he came out to catch the robber he found his father. That was so shameful because he was so greedy and he wanted to take all the money to himself. In my story I changed the characters from father and his son to  three friends.They decided to go to the forest to discover the place and play for a few hours and then come back to their houses but in the forest they found a treasure and each of them wanted to take the money to himself but that led them to their death. What I wanted to say from writing this story is that being a greedy person can lead to a very bad ending and maybe can lead to death.

Week 6 Reading Diary:why spiders are always found in the corners of the ceiling

I did the reading over the first part of the reading assignment for this week and what grab my attention was the title of one of the stories and I founded it funny. It was “why spiders are always found in the corners of the ceiling “and I wanted to know what does this story has. After I read the story I found that it is about a father he is so selfish and greedy. He worked hard with his family in their farm and after he saw that the cops were quite ripe, he decided that he want to profit by them alone, so he  sent his family to their house in the village and he stayed in the farm alone. And I was wondering why this man is so selfish and he does not even love his family he just love money. In the end of the story the son wanted to know the robber in their farm and when he came out to catch the robber he found his father. He was so ashamed. I think this is good story to write about how spiders have always been found in dark and corners. And I think I will write a story about a greedy friend each one of them needs the money for himself and I will see how the end will be. I think always the greed leads to bad ends, but I will see how the events in the story will goes.

Thoughts about Comment

I read through all of the comments left on my posts thus far and I enjoyed reading all of them again. I am so happy to meet new people and read nice comments on my introduction.

I also appreciate every comment left on my weekly stories because that’s helped me a lot to improve my writing where I received different comments about writing the story as few paragraphs not just  one paragraph because that would make it easy to read and some people told me about the font. I think I worked in all these problems in the last story I did.


As for my own commenting so far, I think I did a really good job of leaving comments and I will still keep using strategies and the extra blog comments for bonus points to improve my writing and the way I should comment in other posts
