The plot of the book "A boat to nowhere"

The plot of this book is that it is flowation of how village people running away from the city people that tries to destroy them. In the exposition, nothing happens but after Kien comes, there is a bad mood or starting becoming curious. There is a lot of turing point in this plot. The first one is that Kien seems like he betrayed the village people(He actually didn't), the nexy turing point is that when Kien really explains what he tried to do. The third one sis when theyt are in the ocean, fighting with storm. The most bigegst two turing points are that first, they found the Outcast island, the last one is that when Mai throws the medicine for savind the people. This story has unexpected turing points and that is why there is so many times where you surprise a lot.

Theme of the book "A boat to nowhere"

I think this book's theme is that person can change by how their enviorment is. Kien had changed alot because of he was staying with the village people. At firstm Kien was unwelcomed to the village but as he go and become used to the village, he start caring about others. For example, when the city people came, it was Kien's idea to pretend that he was agreeing with the cityh people but he wanted to save Mai, Loc, and Grandfather so that the others would think that he sis safe. Even, later, when Loc falled in to the sea filled and full with sharks, Kien jumped into the ocean to save him. Even Mai start to understand him. While traveling, a boat offered Kien only him to come but Kien refused because he cared about his friends or families. The truthfaul theme is that people's mind change as how hard you try and how you act.

Characterization of "A boat to nowhere"

The characterization of Kien is very important and changes a lot. Kien first, is very cold minded and don't respect and care only about himself. But, when Loc is in danger, Kien jumps to the ocean where there are full of sharks, we could see that Kien cares about Loc and he thinkes about others too. He also changes when other members is very sick but only he is okey condition, the people says to Kien onlt he could ride the boat and Kien refuses the deal and he stayes with the memebers. Now, first, Kien was really mean and selfish but as time past by, he show that he cares about other realatives and that he is very kind.

My Sharp(Mechanical Pencil)

I have a very important mechanical pencil in my pencial case. It is the SpongeBob mechanical pencil. It was gift froma girl named Angelina from last school. This sharp, is very ordinary to other people but to me, it has been already a year since I have kept this. In school, you will realize that I'am using this a lot. What I find interesting about is , I never found anyone using this in Korea. I am heading to keep this sharp till end of my death.

Secret

This is story about 2 to 3 years ago. It was when my school went to trip. We sleep on "TCIS GYM". My freind told me who he liked and I didn't mind but it was quite shocking. I knew that if I heard a secret, I couldn't hold for very long time. It was better that I have not heard it. I have kept this secret for one day. The next day, on school bus. I asked if he/she knows who my friends like, and she said yes. I was relaxed and start tallking the story and she at last told me that she was faking me and I was tricked. I just told a whole secret to her. In school, at lunch time, when I was playing basketball, a group of girls swearing at me for that. I used my brain to make up a story. I told them I have got it from the ground. This means that I heard not directly but just heard the words. They got so angry. Finally I realized that this tell me I must not ask for a secret and not try to hear secrets.

Courageous

It was about 2 years ago. I was in the amusement park and I was afraid of the haunted house. I never have tried the hunted house. I tried bumper cars, flash pang pang, and others but I have never tried the roller coaster. I thought I would trapped inside there.
It was evening and suddenly my father asked me if I want to go there? Of course I said I would never go. My father said that men was try this things. I argued that God made female and men equally. We argued a lot about and finally my father gave up. About 20minutes later, I th ought again, "If I can't get through this point, I would not grow". So I said to him to go with me. He was surprised and we went there. There was whole bunch of crappy things there. Skeleton, Dracula, and vampires. I have a really bad habit that if I see a scary movies or pictures, that remind me for several weeks. So I still remember that but I realized that it is all human made.
