The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I continue to reading the book called 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' was written by Ann Brashares. I read twenty pages in this week.

The main characters, four girls buy one jeans in the second hand clothes store. At night, Carmen says to other girls, "this jeans will travel to all the places we're going, and it will keep us together when we are apart." (P.20) Another girl also says "Tonight we give the Pants the love of our Sisterhood so we can take love wherever we go." (p.21) They make an evidence of their friendship and they make ten rules about keeping in touch one another over the summer, and making sure the jeans keep moving from one girl to the next. They decide that the Pants will start to travel from Bridget.

While I am reading this chapter, I can easy to imagine the situation of story because there are many conversation about girls in this chapter. Through this chapter, I make sure about the reason why the book called 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'. I think that it is an interesting idea that they decide the Pants travel to all the places they are going because they can keep in touch over the summer with it. Also I can sympathize their idea because it remind me about my memory. When I had to move to Thailand from Japan, I really didn't want to separate with my friends and I was so sad about it. Before I leave from Japan, I went to shopping with my four friends and then we bought the same necklace. I thought that I can keep in touch with my friends through the necklace. So I can understand the feeling that they feel lonely about it.
I will continue to reading this book.

Mystery 'iphone Girl' generates Internet intrigue

I read an article called Mystery 'iPhone Girl' generates Internet intrigue on the internet.

When I read this article, I don't think that it is a serious problem but I infer that if the customers buy the new iPhone with pictures, they are shocked to pay big amount of money for new iPhone and they may lose an reputation for an Apple company. Almost everyone, including me think that it is interesting news in the world.

This article is about a woman factory worker makes mistake. When the new iPhone is completed, she takes the pictures to make sure that the camera of iPhone was right. The problem is the company forget to delete that pictures and they sale the iPhone with pictures.

The news makes me surprise but I think that it is not so serious problem because she just makes small mistake. I infer that she attracts people's attention because everyone cannot expect that the pictures on new iPhone. It is an accidental happening for people.

I infer about why she was not fired is that she makes small mistake and it doesn't become a really big problem in the world. And one thing that I surprise about this news is that the iPhone is made in China. I heard that the new iPhone is sold in America, so I believe that it is also made in the U.S. It really makes me surprise. I infer the reason why the company has no comment about the news and problem is the company want to keep a secret that the new iPhone is made in China.

While I was reading this article, I wonder that the world takes this small problem as the news because in the world, there are many big problems and events that have to report in the news. I infer that the new iPhone with the pictures is taken as the news because everyone is interested in the new things.

Using reading strategies

I read part of the story called "The Telephone" was written by A. F Ancawi during English class.

First, Ms. Jo Ann asked the question that how did the telephone change the villege?
I predicted that if the telephone come to the villege, it might help to communicate with others.

After I read some paragraphs, I thought that 8th and 25th are the most important paragraphs in the story because 8th paragraph shows that the villege was the year of whirlwind and black moon. It means the villege was depression.

25th paragraph makes me feel sorry because my prediction is wrong. I predicted that the telephone help people but finally, the telephone took her family away and she had to separate with her father because of the telephone.

I feel that this book is quite difficult to read for me but I want to try to read more.

The sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

I started to read the book called The sisterhood of the Traveling Pants which was written by Ann Brashares. The book is about four girls spend their first summer apart from one another. The main characters of this book is sixteen-year-old girls who called Lena, Bridget, Tibby, and Carmen.They are the best friends since birth, and always need each other to live. In summer, they have to separate from each other becuase each of them go to other country for various pouposes. The day before departure date, four girls go to the second hand clothes store. They find one jeans there, and each of them try to put on it. They have various figure but all of them can wear that jeans so this jeans is called "magic jeans" by them. Girls decide that they take it for the travel.

The book cover interested me because when I saw the book cover first time, I couldn't imagine the relation between the traveling pants and jeans, also I couldn't understand the meaning of them. After I read first chapter, I understood the meaning of the book cover. This book is quite easy to read for me because the main characters of this story are teenager, and there are many dialogue sentences in the story. So I think that I can sympathize their feeling and thought. I continue reading this book.
