My homework last time(I don’t know why it didn’t submit)
If KingMidas Do Wrong Thing Using Golden Finger……
On a good day with sunshine of the acient greeks, King Midas———a king that love gold———held a party. He invite the god of the wine Dionysus to the party. He like the gold so much that he begged Dionysus to let all of things he touch change into gold. Dionysus agreed and give Midas the golden finger. Midas touch every thing in his garden, and the flower turn into gold, the tree turn into gold, every thing turn into gold. One of Midas servant come to the garden to call him for dinner. Midas suddenly have a evil idea and he touch the servant. The servant gasp and see himself turning in gold. This golden statue have scare on it’s face. How beautiful this golden statue look! Thought Midas.
He bigain to called people to the castle. After people go in, he turn them in to gold. Luck won’t favor him forever. He have hundreds golden statue of normal people, but he wan’t more statue of heros. King Midas had invited the son of Zeus, Hercules, which is a biig mistake. Midas take Hurcules to see these golden statue. Suddenly he screamed, “YOU WILL BE ONE OF THEM NOW!” Hercules pulled out his sword like a flash. He gasp because his sword begain to be in gold. After a several round of engagement, Hercules hit Midas on his shouder. When King Midas touch himself, his body turn to gold. “This is not real!”Midas shout with fear.
Meanwhile, people had been turn into gold before turn back. They cheer adn thank for Hercules. Hercules take away the golden statue of King Midas as people are helding a party. On Mount Olympus, no one observe a new statue shining under the sun.

Wealth plays an important role in The Hobbit. Most of the characters think it is essential.
First, Thorin and the dwarfs think wealth is very important. It is very clear in the story because they told Mr.Baggins that they had first met and that they would kill the dragon, and they would have all the treasure. Also, we can now that dwarfs very like treasure and wealth from the part after the dragon was dead. The dwarfs gathered all the dragon’s treasure to themselves and even told the human that they would have these treasure. These clues told me that dwarfs seem to think wealth is very important.
Second, I will talk about Mr. Baggin. I think Mr. Baggin didn’t think wealth was so important. I think that because he gave the crystal ball to the human to stop the war between the dwarfs and humans. Also, I think he likes his life more than wealth, because when he goes back and finds out his house has been sold, he even buys many things back. After all, it will be so cumbersome to tell every person who buys his things.
In conclusion, some characters like Gandalf and Baggins think wealth is not important, and some characters like the dwarfs and the humans think wealth is important.

Should we focus more on space exploration or protecting our planet earth, considering human’s future?
I strongly belive we should focus more on protecting our planet earth.
First, if we protect earth, earth will die slower. Scientist shows earth will may died after 200 years, after 2600 years, and after 4000000000 years. Earth may died because of people and country killing each other after 200 years. Earth will may died after 2600 years becuase humans use so much energy and this let earth’s tempreture very high, wich make earth in to a big fire ball. Earth also may died by Andromeda crushing on earth after 4000000000 years.
Also, we need our home, earth to live. Maybe some people will say that we may find another “earth”. But we don’t have so much money and people that work to make rockets that can carry all the people on earth. And if the rockets has been broken by the dangerous thing in the space,all the people on that rocket will died. The most important thing is, we even may don’t find a new home.
In conclusion, we should focus more on protecting our planet earth becuase earth will die slower, also because we may can’t find a new home.

Should we colonize space? I think not.
First, colonizing space is very dangerous. We may face many problems. For example, we may find other creatures (like Aliens) in space. Also, rockets may be destroyed for many reasons. For example, rocks flying in space could destroy rockets.
Also, colonizing space will need a lot of money and workforce. Making rockets need a lot of money, and also need many workers and energy. If we make the rocket and send us up to space, we need a lot of material to make shelters. The rockets may be facing many things, like broken, and it will need materials to fix. But rockets won’t have enough space to take materials. Even if we have space, there will be less space to live people, and if there is not much space to live people, we will need to build more rockets for us.
In conclusion, I think we shouldn’t colonize the space because it is very dangerous, and it will need a lot of people working, also it will need a huge amount of money.

Many people think that technology is good for us. But exactly, technology is destroying our childhood.
First, it lets children think less. Many questions are good enough to let you think deeply. But technology like AI can give you the correct answer, and you don’t need to think. If children think less, their brains won’t be strong. The brain goes strong by practicing, and if you are using AI, it won’t be “practice”. It will also be a trouble for the afterlife. For example, when a kid doing his/her work, there is a very difficult question. And he/she uses AI to answer the question, it is AI’s work, not he/she’s work. This will make his/her brain not practice, and he/she will not be smarter anymore.
Secondly, high technology will make it more difficult to separate real and fake works. It is very important to know whether the work is done by you or by the robots. If the technology is very good, some people will use it to do their work, and if the teachers don’t find it out, it will be their work. Also, this technology can make fake books. Even though there are rules that you can not copy other books, many people will still do it. The rule is for the authors to have more strength to write more books. But if many people copied it, the authors won’t write anymore.
This is why I think technology is destroying our childhood. -
Old tree to little, young trees
Humans always think trees do not talk. Instead, we can talk, just in our way. The sound of the leaves, the sound from the whistling treetop, even the way we let animals bring our words to other trees—all of these are ways to talk. I am an old tree that has stood here for about a century. I watch the humans battle, build, and talk.
The first time I saw people killing and hurting each other was when I was a young tree. A good woman plant me in her yard. Her children always play with each other in the yard. One day, a soldier tells her that her husband died in the war. At that time, I didn’t know what is “dead”. I know that when the enemy comes here and kills women and kids. Thankfully, they didn’t find where the woman and her children had been. After they go away, the woman and her children come from where they hide and go away. I shake my leaves to wave goodbye. They hug my trunk and go away.
I had never seen them again.
I stand there lonely until some human comes. They point at the ruin and take cars of material here. I see them building a city on the ruins. I am unhappy about this because they destroy my most precious memory. I admit the houses they built are beautiful. They also plant new trees around me. This gives my black-white life a colorful draw. The technology is growing fast. The old city became a big, brand-new city with tall buildings.
Today’s story is finished here. Young trees, you can listen to the rest of the story tomorrow!

I plus some thing
In the early 1960s, there was a person nicknamed “Blue Beard” who kidnapped young people. He was elusive and always disappeared before the police came. Our story is about a sleuth in this dangerous area. Max always dealt with kidnapping cases.
It was early in the morning. A loud sound from outside break the goodness of morning, “Mr. Max! There is a letter for you!” Max rubbed his eyes and touch his glasses on the table. He slowly put on his glasses and get out of his bed tiredly. Max also use a lot of time for finding were his slippers is. This make him more angry and drained.
Max yawn with exhaustedly, then marched out and take the letter. The letter read:
Dear Mr. Max,
Please help me because my son is missing. He went to his friend’s house, but he didn’t come back. When we asked his friend, she said he hadn’t come to her house. Please, please, please help us. My house is at xxx Street, xxx House.
Thank you,

“Another kidnapping?” Max muttered with excited……

I do some corrections.
The sky was as dark as ink on snow-white paper. There was no sound, except for some crow’s cries. Looking in the only window that has light on, you could see Maggie and her father, Mo, staying in their home. Maggie was reading her favorite book, silently, right on the carpet beside the window. Mo was reading a book in his chair. Suddenly, when Maggie looked out of the window, she saw a shadow with fire standing outside their yard. The fire was very clear in the night. Who is it? Maggie thought. She called Mo, “Why is there a person with fire in his hand outside?”
Mo stopped for a moment, jumped out of his chair, ran to the window, and looked out. Maggie was right. There was shadow, with fire, and he was staring at Mo’s house.
Mo knew who it is in his mind. “Pack your things and get into bed!” Mo shouted to Maggie. Maggie had never seen her father like this. She quickly packed her things and stumbled back to her room.
From her bed, she heard the front door squeak open. Maggie heard Mo calling the dangerous-looking man ‘Dustfinger’. Mo let him in and said to him directly, “I will not read anything again! Don’t you see what happened to you and my wife? You know what will happen!” About my mom? Maggie thought. She also heard Dustfinger call her father’ Silvertongue’.
Dustfinger and Mo talked about things that happened before. Maggie felt bad after learning that her mom was not just missing. She also knows that her dad has special powers.
Why doesn’t Mo read mom back? Maggie thought with anger. In her mind, there was only one idea, which is heckling Mo. She ran out of her room, and shouted at her dad: “Why don’t you read mom back? Is it because you didn’t love her?” But Mo said firmly: “No! I know what will happen if I want to read her back. It’s too dangerous!”

Maggie said to her dad, Mo,“Why there are a person with fire in his hand outside?”
Mo jump out of his chair, run to the window, and look out. There is a person, with fire, and he is staring at Mo’s house.
“Pack your things and get to the bed!” Mo shout to Maggie. Maggie had never seen his father like this. So she quickly packed her things and run back to her room.
On the bed, she heard the front door open. Maggie heard Mo calling that person look dangerous ‘Dustfinger’. Mo let him in, and talk directly to him:“I will not read anything again! Don’t you see what happen to you and my wife? You know what will happen!” About my mom? Maggie thought. She also heard Dustfinger called his dad’ Silvertongue’.
Dustfinger and Mo talk about things happen before. Maggie know that her mom is change with Dustfinger, so she is in the book Inkheart. She know that her dad have special powers.
In Maggie’s heart, she want Mo to read her mom back. So she run out of her room, and shout to her dad:“Why you don’t read mom back? Is it because you didn’t love her?” But Mo said strongly:“No! I know what will happen if I want to read her back. It is so dangerous!”

The first people that have a pig heart in the world is David Bennett. He is 57 years old. He lived 2 more months after the surgery. I think it is similar that there family all love them even they have a pig heart. The different is, now the technology is more developed. But at that time, they don’t have the things to remove the germs in the pig heart. So Cameron’s surgery will be more dangerous.

I deleted some parts that we do not need.
I think Funke uses the quotations because it could be a foreshadowing.
For example, in paragraph 51, the quotation is “ ‘I don’t know what it is,’ answered Fiver wretchedly. ‘There isn’t any danger here, at this moment. But it’s com-ing-it’s coming.’（Richard Adams, Watership Down)” In my opinion, this means that there will be danger or dangerous after this chapter, and at this time, it is the calm time before the storm. So this chapter will be alright, but after this chapter, at the 52 chapter, Maggie first read a fairy out from the book. This make her more dangerous because her power was found by Basta.
In conclusion Funke quotations in the front of the chapter can inspire the readers, also could be a prophecy.
