Dear Dairy

Today, I saw the whole family gathered together to discuss about something, they looked terrify and angry as they argue. I did not understand what they were talking about, I did however remember one word they said, “Nazi”.

All the adults now wear a star on their shoulders, I want one too!

Dear Dairy

I remember staring at myself in the mirror on the first day of school in Hong Kong. A tomboyish looking girl with bowl cut hair stared back at me in the mirror. I was a tan little girl in a Cantonese school uniform. That was the first time I tried on a uniform, I did not realize what it symbolize. Only one thought was in my mind “ why is this uniform so ugly compare to the one I saw in Japanese dramas?” then I started to blame my mom for applying me to the school with ugly uniform.

The book Black Boy would not attract me by its cover, it’s simple and plain. Nonetheless, I’ve try to read the book, and I was immediately disgust by Richard’s foolish action and thoughts. I wanted to put the book down right away, but my curiosity urged me to move on. My decision did not disappoint me, Richard eventually developed moral and he began to think like a normal person. Richard’s positive experience, and negative experience all seems to be linked with his urge for literature. His link with literature seems to became that factor that affects his future. Richard’s road of life encourages the readers to go for their goal. His life shows us that life is full of opportunities, if you try hard enough, nothing would be impossible.

As I research articles on Global Warming, I would wonder about the effect of Global Warming. Does Global Warming only cause negative side effects? Did people try to hide the positive side effect of Global Warming? But why would they hide anything like that, would it do them any good? And I realize how stupid I was to think of such questions, because there are proofs all over the world about the huge damages cause by Global Warming. Even if there are any positive side effects, they’ll never measure up to the damage that can be cause. And that thought somehow lead me to think about the people who doubt the existence of global warming. I don’t understand why anyone would doubt the existence of global warming when there’s evidence all around them.
