Hi! This one will be my sixth blog post. I am going to use counterfactual in this assignment to connect with blog 5. What if things turn out different with my dad and my family situation. I think I will have totally different result from right now. It is the additional links for this assignment below:
when I was seven years old, my dad left home, he went oversea to the USA find a job, he send money to home every month and told about his job in the USA. When I remained him about working in the oversea, I said " dad what if you did not work in the USA, what will our life going to be." He said "our life will be difficult and poor." My dad said" we were living in the small row house, there are not any furniture and air condition, even the light. In the living room there only have three old stools set around there." when I was in the living room doing my homework, the room is not well light, I moved next to the window, the small a head of sun light through into the window, then I can see clear with the homework. I told to my dad "when can we have light in our house." He said right now "we do not have enough money for install the light in our house and we can not pay the eclectic free too." "There are some candle in the drawer, light on the candle when you are doing home work, do hurt you eyes, my dad said" I said" thank you dad, I will study hard." In the lunch time, my mom cooks every time meal. We have a fish, soup and vegetable today. My dad grab some fish into my bowl, " right now is your growing time, you need to eat more fish meat, he said." My mom also grab some fish into h my dad bowl, said " you both need to eat more fish, because you are doing a lot work every day." I saw mom only eat some vegetable and soup, I said to mom " eat some fish, fish is good for you and there is a lot fish ." I want every body can try it, because we are a family. I asked to my dad "when can we have beef, I heard beef is really good meat and I want to try." He said "next month I let your mom buy it and cook for you." "Thank you dad" I said. On the weekend, I usually go to field with my dad. He is a farmer, so he plant some vegetables, such as scallion, cauliflower, cabbage and celery. He need to water them every day to keep them growing. He take water from the small pool and back to water it. I saw him bow the waist and light up the big bottle under the sun, his face appear a lot sweat. I hope he can have a better job. I asked him "can you just carriage the water back, them I would water them ok?" "alright, but do not get wet your clothes." he said. I am glad I can do something for my dad. Later on, my mom came here, she said " come on, take a break! I bought some food your you. " My mom saw my red face, " it is really hot outside , you want to go home?" "No, I want to go home till dad finish work." My dad said "you can stay in the log cabin ." I told mom, "you ca go home to other thing, I will not under the sun." She go home them. We have economic problem with my family, we can not buy some thing we want, and we always think how to make money and save it. My dad, he work in the field that is really hard for him, because sometimes he need to do a lot heave stuff. Right now, We have a better life, because he made a big decision to go the USA, and brought my family to here. We are work hard in here, sometimes is really tired but better than working in the field with bare feet. We are fortunate have right now this life.

Hi! Nice to see you again in my blog. For this assignment, we need to include format dialogue and symbolism in this assignment. I read Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway. This story is happened in the train station. The American man and his girlfriend arguing about doing the operation, and the American man almost say everything to convince his girlfriend have the operation. This girl agree to do the operation, because she love him and she can do everything for him. I use love to connect my scene, when a man really love his family, he can do everything for his family. Below are the additional readings for this assignment:
When I was seven years old, my dad left home. He went oversea to the USA find a job, and he send the money to home every month for support this family. When I talk to this thing to him "dad, why do you want to leave home to another country?" I said. "Because I want to give you and your mom a good life." Every time I saw another children have milk and new clothes, I also want you have this kind life. When I saw your mom wearing the thin jacket in the winter, I wish I could give her warm coat. I hear mom said that" the process of going to another country is very danger, you need to over the desert and swamp. The desert is terrible, there is no any water, if your got lost that will be serious situation. The swamp can sink anything, if someone get in the deep swamp that is hard to get out. So many people die in this process.'' "I knew that is really horrible place, but for this family I will still try to gain better life for you." My father said. He is really love us and this family. I asked him" what do you do in the USA?" "I am a chef so I am working in the restaurant everyday, and I usually cooking something sometime cutting some vegetable." "How long do you work for your job every day"? ''12 hours a day." "what?" "That is very long time, is it really hard for you dad?" "Sometime it is really tired." I told to him, " dad, can you change a job. I do not want you work very tired every day." "Nice kid, you do not worry me, I can take care of my self, and you need to take care of your self, do not get hurt." he said that to me. ''Right now, I have job and money, I will send money to home. You and your mom can buy anything you want to eat. Also buy some nice warm clothes.'' ''Ya en, you too, dad." "A few years later, I will let you and you mom to come out with me. Right now, I need to work hard and save more money for future." Right now, my mom and I all together with my dad, I really appreciate my dad he did anything for me and his family. I am feeling love from my father, and love can make a responsible person. Hello! See you again in my blog post, I hope you have a fun day in my blog post. For this assignment, we need to read and annotate the three articles and discussing the writing process. Later, I need to set a scene where I discuss with author about the writing process. Next, I have to provide three quotes about the writing process for each reading. It is really fun to participate this, and the link is below:
In summer time, I usually walking around the park after dinner. The park is beautiful, there are a lots of thriving tresses and grasses around the park, and the bird chirp on the tress. Also, there is a small path through this park, many people walk on the this path every morning or evening. Side of this path, there are some tables and chairs for people talk a rest or talking . when I am walking in this path, I like looking some green scene and listening the birds or bugs chirp, this is really relaxing place over here. In the mean time, I saw there are three people are talking at the side of path. When I near them and saw them face, that are famous writers Don Murray, Marry Karr, and Anne Lamott at here. I am approaching to them and introduce myself. First of all, I am a college student, I want to improv with my writing. Don Murray, Marry Karr, and Anne Lamott, they look very kindly, I think I will get the help about writing process from them. I am asking Don Murray, how can I not fear about writing in my live. Sometimes, I can not start with my draft for the writing, and writing make me headache. He told me, because you did not have correct mind in your head, you should think "He uses language to reveal the truth to him-self so that he can tell it to other". So, I think writing is way to communication in our life. For writing, we need to know some skill for writing. He said that, "The writing process itself can be divided into three stage: prewriting, writing, and rewriting. The amount of time a writer spends in each stage depends on his personality, his work habits, his maturity as a craftsman, and the challenge of what he is trying to say". I was not sure I get that, when I am writing. Right now, I understand "teach writing as a process not a product". Instead, we need to participate writing and enjoy writing. Mary Karr get into the topic, she said that " Rewriting on the page is safer then revision in, say, painting, where you can paint a good place and wreck a canvas". I agree that, the writer can always change their writing, because they have many changes to correct the mistake. Also, she said that "Revision is the secret to their troubles--and yours. That and a sense of quality that exceeds what you can do--that gives you something to strive for. Actually, every writer needs two selves --the generative self and the editor self". I think that is interesting for me, I need think about that when I am writing, I need to make a new self to check my revision. Mary Karr told me that, " Remind yourself that revising proves your care for the reader and the nature of your ambitious". That mean when I am revising my writing, I think my writing is not well, I want to make it prefer, and be responsible for my writing. I feel I have a lot topic talk with them. " How to write beautiful sentence"? I think the student should have change for draft, they need to prepper what to say and how to say in the writing. Anne Lamott is saying with a smile "Sometimes you have to be that innocent to be a writer. Writing takes a combination of sophistication and innocence; it takes conscience, our belief that something is beautiful because it is right". Don and Mary told some useful experience for writing and they said I need to work hard and do not give up, " Most all good writing begins with terrible first effort." She said that, " we are just going to trust this bird by bird. But we are going to finish this one short assignment". I am going to step by step to improv my writing. Finally, "They tell me very few writer really know what they are doing until they are done it". Don Murray , Mary Karr, and Anne Lamott, these three writers teach me a lot in this writing process. In the writing process, that include " prewriting, drafting, revision, and editing." it is known as a recursive process.
