Q # 6:


I don't think that Don is being clever when he didn't tell the Americans at the first time he arrived at the lawyer's office. I think it was his culture to planing trees for chirldren to hang around. Its probably the normal thing in the village but not to the Americans. They didn't think of that when they bought the house, they thought once they bought it, everything in there would belong to them. Without knowing that the tree Doesnot belong to Don, it was for the chirldren.

Stop the Sun
In my opinion, Terry asked his dad about his experience is the right thing to do. Firstly, he was a part of the family, family suppose to help each other, care about each other whenever the problem is, they have to solve it together. Therefore they are family, Terry shouldnot be embarrsed because of his father's action. That's why it would be better for him to understand it, to understand his father, helping him when his father's eyes went away. Then Terry would have enough knowledge to started solving this problem,  to save his father from the sickness.

Suzie
“Get back to your room” the mother yelled at Suzie as usual, it happens everyday she got home after school. Then she walked confidently into her room whispering: “ Story of my life”. She sat on her bed staring at her older brother-Kyle playing ball out side the window. All of sudden, he threw a ball right at the window hardly broken. As Suzie stood up and open the window, he cried: “Heyy, what are you looking at? You idiot!!! What are you doing here? Giving birth to you is mommy’s biggest mistake!!.......” Suzie got used to it so that she ignored everything; she closed the window and started to do her homework.Her father was a business man so couldn’t have a chance to interact with him except for Sunday. Her mom was a housewife who was addicted to gamble. She spent most of her money in gambling. 
It was atypical morning; Suzie woke up, came her brown hair, wore a blue T-shirt and jeans, and went to school holding a feeling of excited to leave her house. As soon as she putted her feet on the ground of Georgia Elementary School, she asked herself: “What happened? Where are all the funny creative poster that we made? Where is the clock with a shape of a frog goes?” And I am sure she was not the only one asking these. She passed the hall way on her way to Ms.Flower’s class-looking at the blank wall that was be filled with cute little posters. Suzie sat on the seat that she normally sit, on asking a friend sitting next to her what happened. He said calmly: “I heard there’s a new mean principal and she was the one who burned all the posters and things.” Suzie’s head was totally blank, she just heard something that never happen before in a elementary school at Georgia. The bell rang, Ms.Flower came in with a huge smile on her face as usual. Following her was a huge woman wearing green outfit which looks like what people wear in the army than in a school.  Ms.Flower introduced: “ hi class, I want to talk to you guys  about our new principal-Mrs. Hunada…….” “Hey those little monsters, from now on, there’s will be no more fun in school, I’m the ruler, I will tell you what to do and I said you should not have fun in school HAHA” Mrs.Hunada said before Ms.Flower could finish her sentence. She gave out her evil laugh out the last time before she leave the classroom. Everyone was freaking-out. “She is the meanest teacher in the meanest teachers history.” Someone from the class said. From that day on,  students in school have to do math, memorizing insteading of doing creative projects and all the fun things. At this point, little Suzie was doing something else, she made a song out of Math and teach her classmate how to sing it, Ms.Flower loves the song. Unfortunately, the song spread to the principal and she run hastily to Ms.Flower’s class to look for Suzie. “Where’s our little Suzie? Get out!!! Let’s me see, who is the little monster dare to broke the school rules?” “ Am I the monster you’re looking for?” Suzie got out of the seat step forward to the principal. Mrs.Hunada turned red as she said-almost screaming: “ Well well well!! You little stinky rat, how dare you break my rules? You all have to obey me, everything I said even when I’m right or wrong!!!Understand you animals ?” Suzie got so mad that her eyes looks so red looking at a cup of water, her lip stick together like after being glued. The cup vibrating through every single word that the principal said meanly. The cup exposed, water spilled everywhere all over Mrs.Hunada’s shirt. “ohh, you Suzie, you did it again, you’re the one who broke the cup, I don’t know where, how and I don’t know why But I know it was you.!! I have to change my shirt, I’ll get back to you later.” She went out and Suzie feeling weird, she felt like she was the one who broke it. To proved it, Suzie tried to stare at a eraser making it move. It did move a little bit-not very much. She walked to Ms.Flower’s desk said: Ms.Flower, I did break the cup by looking at it, It was my fault….I can prove it.” “Come on darling, you don’t have to believe what Mrs.Hunada said. Its alright. Can you come over to my house after school?” Said Ms.Flower. Suzie would loves to because she didn’t want to come home and being treated like a kid.
On the way to Ms.F ‘s house, they passed a scary huge castle. Ms.F began her story: Along time ago, there were a happy family lived there, the mother passed soon so that the father remarried another woman, she moved there with them. A few years later, the father died, the polices said he suicide for some unknown reason. The step-mom was a monster, she treated the daughter badly, until she graduated, she kicked her out of the castle and said it wasn’t hers so the woman kept it.” And do you know who is the little girl? It was Ms.Flower and the step-mom is…..Mrs.Hunada. Suzie was in shock when she heard the story. “the main point of the story is that things will change, I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about if you’re in bad situation, something good is just going to happen tomorrow. It’s raining today, it is sunny tomorrow. So don’t feel bad because what Mrs.Hunada said, okay?” “Okay” Suzie answered, an idea was blowing inside her head. “Why didn’t you get your house back then?” Suzie asked. “ No, I couldn’t, how can I?” Ms.F answered. “everyone has a weakness then what is her weakness?” Suzie wondering. “She affairs of black cat, she is a very religious person, she believe in ghosts and gods.” Ms.F said as she pointed to the charms that Mrs. Hunada putted on the door.
-Why did your dad suicide? Suzie shoot out another question.
-I don’t think he did. Answered Ms.F
-What did your dad usually call you at home?
-Pumpkin, he called me his pumpkin
-Then what did he called Mrs.Hunada?
-He called her Jenna
-Okay ……
-What do you have in mind Suzie?
-Nothing!!!
        Suzie already got a plan in her mind. At night, she couldn’t sleep, trying to practicing her power. Started with the smallest thing then she tried to move big things around her room. She practice, practice and practice. Untill one day when she could moves the heaviest thing just by looking through it. When Mrs.Hunado went by checking all the classed making sure there’s NO FUN in school. Suzie looked around the room, suddenly; the door and the windows closed by itself scaring everyone especially Mrs.Hunada. A marker on the table flied and writes a notes on the board. Students were there started to read: “Leave my Pumpkin alone, Jenna! Give her back her house or else I will get you like you got me” Mrs.Hunada putted her hands on the air running like a chicken with it head cut off. She ran away and no one else in Georgia ever seen her again. And Suzie, she became Ms.F’s best friend and often visit her house. Ohm, I mean her castle she got it back after Mrs.Hanada left.
        One day, Suzie’s parents said they have to migrate to Hawaii because her dad have more opportunities out there than he has in Georgia. Suzie refused to leave because she was having the life that she always wanted. She made her parents to sign the adoption paper that she found in the library. They signed it for Ms.F adopted her and that was the nicest thing that her parents ever done for her. They both have what they always wanted, a nice happy family that they couldn’t have when they should had like other people.
