Poem

I had a friend.

His name was Harry. 

Harry's friendship was like the sun's sunshine 

Harry was always a fun guy and very smart

He was my best friend. 

When Harry's time came. 

It hurt.

Every time I look at a picture of him, the pictures speak to me 

It was fun when it lasted but now its over 

And I know I will see him soon.

Vocabulary

  Once upon a time there was an eighty year old man who was the best martial artist in the world. He opened up a dojo where he soon taught students his tricks in martial arts. These students patronized their master except for one student named Casey. Casey was by far the best student the eighty year old man had. Casey was looking to be the best in the world but he knew he could not be at the eighty year old man with the techniques he had received from him. So Casey became a renegade. Casey traveled the world learning new techniques from various other martial artist. Once Casey felt that he had the most martial arts power in the world, he made his return to dethrone the eighty year old man as the best martial artist in the world. 

  News soon traveled to the eighty year old man that Casey had become more powerful and the eighty year old man knew that they would meet in battle. Once Casey had arrived to his old dojo, the eighty year old man said "you don't have to do this" but Casey had became arrogant and said "why, are you scared." The eight year old man sighed and the battle began. The battle was knick and tuck the whole way until Casey started to use his new moves. The eight year old man knew this time would come and he used a move he had never taught to anybody in his lifetime, called sacrifice. To use this move, the eight year old man would have to come into close range to Casey and use the secret foot and hand combination to send off a powerful blow at Casey. This move is so dangerous because the blow from the doer would kill the receiver on contact but it would also suck the energy out of the doer on contact and kill him. Once the eighty year old had finished the secret foot and hand combination, he punched Casey and they both died on contact. After there battle had conceded, the eighty year old's students would carry on his legacy and remember him as a hero. 

Research

  One thing I have learned about doing research is that you need a lot of information. You need to make sure that you get information from a variety of sources instead of relying heavily on one source. Another thing that I have learned about doing research is that you need to do the work over multiple days. I turned my in late and I worked on the paper for three hours on Thursday night.

  I would like to learn more about how to synthesize better. I would also like to go over how to make stronger transitions. This is what I have learned about research so far.

Reading Response to ATDPTI 2

  I now have finished the book and I did start to enjoy the book more. I liked how the author started to expand his story by changing the plot a little bit. Some of the topics that the author wrote about started to amuse me. I also started to enjoy the different characters that the author introduced and how it made the book better.

  I didn't like how the author sometimes used to much humor and tried to be funny. I also didn't like how sometimes the author wouldn't spend much time on an important chapter. This is what I think about ATDPTI.
