Sunday
I still go out for walks, although mom has found out I did not go to business school. I hope she could blame on me but she didn’t.
Today I didn’t go to the museum. I went to the park and sit on the bench mostly. There was sunlight coming down and made me warm. I like the feeling and nobody was there. It's quiet.
Mom told me to type something every day. It helps me to practice my typing skill. Although I don’t need much of it now, she says some day it will help. I think she is right.  I like to sit and type something after I polished my collections.


Monday
Days ago Tom broke little Lucy, a cute bird. I buried her in the gray box. Tom wasn’t on purpose so I forgave him. He is my brother and I love him. He broke Lucy because he was arguing with mom. Mom wasn’t happy and she wouldn’t talk to Tom. But today Tom apologized so we are happy again.
Tom did nothing wrong though. He told me he was going to the movie and he never lie to me. He is a good brother.


Tuesday
Mom seems so happy today. But she didn’t let me to go out. So I stayed home. She looked at me constantly and asked what kind of boy do I like. I thought of Jim in my high school. He was the star and handsome and nice. He treated me so nice and he called me Blue Rose. I hope he still remember me.
Why did I think of him? He wouldn’t remember me. And I don’t deserve him.
I shouldn’t think like this. I have a lovely mother and a nice brother. I’m also steady with my glass menagerie. I’m satisfied.


Wednesday
I asked mom why she was so happy these days. She first said she was always happy. Then she told me Tom promised to find a gentleman caller for me. I asked her how was she manage to do that, she didn’t answer and told me to go out for a walk.
I went on the street. I didn’t go to the park or the museum. I walk on the alley to the post office and there were people. What would the gentleman caller look like? I went to the office and it reminds me with my father.
Thursday
Mom was already planning about having a gentleman caller. She was talking about dressing and planning to have a dinner. She asks me to find candles to make the scene more romantic.
Mom is nice but I don’t think Tom will have me one.
What if he had me one? Would it go well?
Friday
I don’t know what to say! Tom had found a gentleman caller! Mom was so happy and I’m happy, too! We will have a nice dinner and I will help cooking! We don’t have much preparation, but we will do our best.
Would the gentleman caller like me? What can we talk about? Yes, I will introduce him my glass menagerie.
But will I able to talk? Last time I talked to a person on the street I felt pain in my stomach. Will he notice I’m crippled? Oh I can’t imagine what will happen…
Saturday
My unicorn lost its horn. And Jim broke it. The gentleman caller had engagement already. I should have thought that.
Mother helped me through it. Everything will be alright. I don’t need a gentleman caller. I’m doing fine with myself.

I don’t need the skill, either. I won’t keep typing anymore.

Romeo and Juliet's First Expression

The first time that Shakespeare introduces Romeo is by the conversation between Benvolio and Romeo. He is sad about the refusal from the Rosaline. The emotion is so strong that he frustrates himself and unwilling to interact with his friends and parents. Simply say, Romeo is too in love that his love is hurting himself: “ Griefs of my own lie heavy in my breast.” (Romeo and Juliet 21) Later on scene 4, he has worries that something bad will happen during the party and thus unwilling to go. The dialogues Romeo and Mercutio have implied that his anxiety comes from Romeo’s dream. However, it does not suggest the contents of the dream. Based on Romeo previous action about love, I think the dream is about him and Rosaline. He feels fear about meeting Rosaline in the party. Instead of solving the problem, as Benvolio and Mercutio suggest to examine other women, Romeo’s first expression is to escape and turn himself back into his comfort zone. Besides Romeo’s unrequited love and refusal to ...

MLML 8-10 notes

Chapter 8: This chapter talks about the journey of Desiree to the grand hotel. I think it not only notes how hard Desiree is on the way to her dream, but also a real state of the island. It was amazing how the author keeps our blinded as peasants in the beginning, not sure where we are. I was confused and scared at first with all the myths. And was blinded with peasants' one side argument about how widely the people on the island detach from each other. But through Desiree's journey, I finds that the trench between the poor and the rich are not as bad as I was imagining. There are different levels of the poor and the rich, Desiree is just unlucky to love the richest one. First I thought the story happens in a fantasy novel, with all the hierarchy and cruel king. I was wrong. It is a modern society, only that our main character comes from a forgotten no where. The narration of the journey thus makes the world of the story more wholistic. Looking the whole book, maybe the pea...
