book club report#3

Name: The pearl
Title of page: 90
I am in the p57
I read 17 pages this week, I understand about 75%

The most significant thing that impressed me in my book this week: The buyers work together to cheat Kino of his pearl and intend to give him very little money for it. They have planned to convince him that his pearl is worthless and pretend that they're doing him a favor by taking it off his hands.

I choose this because the buyers are aware of the pearl's tremendous value, and intend to con the uneducated native; I think Kino will trust them because they are the experts even he knews they are not good, but he cannot choose other way.

Vocabulary words:
1.swaddle: wrap
2.extravagant: spending more money than is necessary
3.scarves=scrf: wide strip of material worn about the neck or shoulders
4.aggressiveness: redy to attack or fight others
5.monstrosity: something huge and ugly

book club #2

title of book: The Pearl
pages in the book: 90
I am now on page: 40
I understand about 75% of what I read

1.Kino and his family came back their hometown after they got a big pearl.
2.I feel interested about Kino, because after he got a pearl, he is confusing about his neighbors will steal his pearl, and he really want to save his baby. Eventhough he feels afraid, he still want to sale the pearl to fix his baby. I think he has strong thinking, so I like to know what he will do later.
3.I think Kino and his wife are going to sale their pearl in the city. Maybe they will get some problems because everyone already knew they have a big pearl and maybe someone already planing to get their pearl.

'myself!!

Hello!!
My name is Reesie! I come from China. I have been in Seattle 1 year already. But why am I just in level 4? because I am a super lazy girl. When I just came here. I have lived with 3 housefamilys, but they are not good for me. Later I moved to live with my friend who my highs chool classmate. Before we lived in far from the school; we had 2 roommates, both so suck for me. Therefore, I moved out from there to near our school with my friend. I like this house so much because nobody to disturb me anymore. And I got my new friend coka who my cat. He is a smart, cute and fat cat. I love him! Usually, I dont like to talk too much specially stranger or new friends. Eventhough, my talking made my friends felt tire sometimes, because I am not a shy girl; maybe I am just lazy. My habit is lazy ,but when I am doing something I really want to be quick, because I want to finish early then I can get time to be lazy! Therefore, this is me.In the futrue, I will choose design be my major. I will use my English until I finish my university, because I want to study design in here. After finish study I planning to have a job about design, so I can use English during I work. Anyway I think English is very improtant for everyone.
