I chose aunt Em and Cowardly Lion because both guys does not have confidence. However the lion goes to get a confidence, but she did not. The lion action contrast with aunt Em.

I think Lion is similar with me because I also do not have confidence for anything. However Lion look for the way to get a confidence but I did not yet. That is different to me.

If you were American, which language would you want to learn ?

If I were American, I would lke to learn spanish, because it is use the alphabet too, and Spanish is really usefull language. We can talk to South American. America has so many South American ,so it is really good to learn. Nowadays, I think Spanish language is become a important language of all the world because almost all people want to learn English or Chainese for a job or get better carrer. Before nobody think about South America where is cheap cost to develop something, but now some of people consider about South America for make factory or company insted of Asia. Actually I want to learn Spanish after I finish to learn the English. By the way, I would like to go South America because there are many beautiful place and beach. I like to see the beautiful things sach as made by nature. Sometims I go to the hiking to see nature things like a sea, mounten tree and sky. Now if I go to South America by my self I wold die, because I heard from my Spanish friends they said that if you go South America such as Columbia, Mexico, or Chili it is really dengerous for Asian because there are many mafia, gang or crazy people exit, so if you want go there, you have to learn the Spanish. After I heard that, Ido not want to go there, but now I change my mind I should learn the Spanish because now I am lerning the Engrish, it is similar with Spanish I think easy to learn. It is for job and travel. If I could speak Engrish and Spanish perfectly, I would got a good job and go to travel in South America. This is my answer.

At UW, tragic falls keep adding up

It happened tragically. Kevin MacDonald died after a June 14. He tumbled from his third floor fraternity bed room last month. The police found sustained fatal head injuries in his bed room, and they found rickety bunk bed on the hardwood floor with asneaker. Also at least 11 students have died or suffered injuries.



I think it was terrible, because I wanted to go to the UW, but now I do not want to go there. Why nobady discovered before 11 students died. I hope it will never happen anymore
