Dear Norman - Reading program

Since there no Norman;s response in the story, i would like to invite my son try to found out Norman feeling through the letter from his family, teacher, friends.

This is the Draft:

Day 1 writing:

No place like Home

Every one has a home, but i think my home is better than others, Let me introduce my family.

My home is like a safari park! My brother us a buffalo, he us very strong and when he gets angry, he is unstopable. My dad is a lion, he eats a lot, sleeps a lot, enjoy nit doing thing a lot, and the most horrible thing is that he shouts at anyone when his angry. My mum, she is like a safari guide and show me life, time, stuff like that. At last my grandparents, I think my grandma is a chicken, why? It is because she is too stingy to give someone money. Oh! you must be asking about my grandpa, right? He is my favorite character in the family. he is like a friend of mine he cares about me a lot, you should be jealous about me ! if your aren't, you should be ashamed.

Day 2 writing

Good points (Merit) and bad point (Demerit) of my family:

Good	Bad
1. My family is quit rich 2. My younger bother is too stupid, I can play trick on him. 3. My family members are big eaters, every time we go on a buffet, waiters were often amazed and it made the buffet cheaper	1. My mum is very bad at cooking 2. My family talks a lot. 3. Because we eat a lot. Grocery shopping is very hard because we have to carry all our food home.

What if you need to stay on your backyard tree house for certain things for different use.
For survival, I am going to bring:
1. Weapon for example: pen knives, torch, fire(lighters), crakets , mask, BB guns. Etc
2. Matches for fire
3. Food and water
4. Blankets to keep warm
5. Ipad, wifi to stay away from boring

For learning:
1. Books, dictionary
2. Pens, or pencils, eraser and etc

Time table

11:00 pm – 9:30am	Sleeping
9:00 am – 9:30am	Breakfast (the food that I have brought)
9:30am – 12:00pm	Play video games
12:00 – 1:00	Lunch
1:pm – 4:00	Reading , studying, checking is there any letter from daddy and mum
4:00 – 7:00	Playing video game
7:00 – 8:00	Dinner
8:00 – 9:00	Playing video game

Notes:
Food and water that I have brought
Electricity – no problem, I can use long electric wires and plug into socket.

If living in outdoor, danger is everywhere. How could I survive? If there is a zombie upocalypse:
First always wear a mask because the smell of rotten flesh.
Second always keep a weapon near you; the suitable weapon in this case is bb guns.
Third, wear a helmet before they eat your brain.

If there are bugs
Using bug spray.
Also bring some insect repellent.
See a spider use a stick let it climb on it, and transport tit to a suitable place.
If you see a centipede or scorpions don’t catch it, use your bug spray.
If your tree house is on fire, just ring for your lives.
If you con’t escape, jump down.

If you need to go the toilet.
There is no toilet in the wild. Cut a small hole (16 inches * 16 inches) around tree house. Pee on it.

If you find a snake, you need to remember.
First identify the snakes. Is it venomous?
People often get the milk snake and coral snake

Red touches yellow nit a good fellow,
Read touches black, a friend of jack

Look at the eyes

Use a long stick (over one meter ) and push it on the back if the neck.

Look for book about snake, look for picture of the snake, and venomous information about it, (venomous or not), then you can easily identify with snake you have seen, run, or catch the snake. You can find garter snake in your backyard often.

If you see a non-venomous snake, you have to identify it why? Because it might be a 20 feet python and came for lunch!
If you are cure, kit I.

If you are kind, call for help. You can get a piece of meat or annoying rat neat your tree house when it get distracted, use a container with a lit. call for help or call a reptile rescue center.

Dear Norman

“Dear Norman” is another wonderful story by Robert Richard. It is written in a very unusual and extraordinary manner. The plot itself consists of the letters, which fulfill all the necessary parts of the story. The epistolary genre contributes to the deeper understanding of the conflict by the demonstration of the thoughts and feelings of the every character of the story. The writer sets a common family situation which captivates the reader’s attention. Despite the fact we have no possibility to read Norman’s responses, they are not necessary, as Norman’s feelings are clear through the letters which we can observe. Moreover, I think that the absence of his letters gives the opportunity to the reader to imagine his own variant of the replies. I think that the story contains both external conflict – between parents and a child, and internal one – between the good and the bad boy in Norman’s soul. Robert Richard’s language is humorous, witty and amusing. Speaking about characters, I do appreciate Norman’s parents’ behavior. I think that they have taken up the most accurate position to bring their son back. And, generally, most of the characters arouse up liking to them. Norman, despite his teenage offences, tries to overcome his egoism and to have negotiations with his parents. Beth, his younger sister, to my mind, loves his brother despite all the competitions between them and even finds forces to confess to Norman that she misses him. Norman’s teacher is a real professional, who knows the approach to children. And, finally, Norman’s grandmother is just an old forgotten woman who anyway loves her children and grandchildren and tries to keep in touch with them. I think that this story is worth reading it.

A Day's work - Writing

The story of A day’s work is about Francisco and his Abuelo went to work one day. Francisco said his grandfather is a fine gardener but he isn’t. They pulled the chickweed and let the weeds behinds. They have to do the job again. They worked on the next day.

From the story, I learnt that the author wrote “A day’s work” to teach me not to lie. It is because Francisco made lie for earning 60 dollars and then his family could have extra food. But it doesn’t work as they made a mistake. They left the weeds, and took out the plant. Also, Ben known that they were not fine gardeners and who tell a lie. Francisco’s grandfather fold him no to lie again. And told Ben hat they could came again to fix it. Therefore, Ben said that “the important things your grandfather knows already.” Ben said that because Francisco’s grandfather known to be honest and humble.
