In the book, "To Kill A Mockingbird," Jem and Scout always call their father by his first name instead of sir. I think this is a good example of how childhood experiences shape the person you become. In this story Scout grows up with her brother and father and she doesnt really have a female influence in her life.

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been religion and God.  I do remember hearing about it in the past how people start to learn about what he does and stories of how the world was created, and how life was created, and that all the people that did not believe were people that will eventually become unhappy and be betraying the creator of all of us.  Over

Dear Wen,
    What I noticed most about, "Losing Home," WNYC Radio Rookies, http://www.wnyc.org/radiorookies/Elmhurst/Wen.html was that you really went into depth on your life story and you really drew me into your story and I visualized it in my head. I thought about how china is. I just couldn't picture the noisy streets.

I am from the courts outside.
I am from the yellow-green balls
flying over the courts.
I am from the rackets swinging wildly in the air.
I am from the heat floating over the pot.
I am from the things that make u feel better
and the timer that watches my run.
I am form the bed that keeps me warm
and the blanket that covers me well.

slightly melted from the glaring sun.
I am the from the familiar scene of waves crashing lazily against green rocks,
from the people lined up along the dock with seagulls above.
I am from the cheeseburgers and elegant roses,

Thanksgiving is a day for family gatherings. It's an excuse to eat turkey and bond with your family. People can't wait for Thanksgiving because after it has passed, everyone is jumping for black friday, the day AFTER thanksgiving. I always thought Thanksgiving wasn't as special as.. lets say Christmas because there's no Thanksgiving Eve like there is for Christmas, Christmas Eve.
