History Recalls---Will the Bloody Rainfall reappear?

   History Recalls---Will the Bloody Rainfall reappear?

   History Report

    Today our inspectors have found two mutants with the exact appearance of the true image of God, but with a devil in their mind. This is a new type of mutant, which is more dangerous than other mutants since people can’t tell the difference by looking at them. The two mutants that have been captured told us that there are more people who are their kind, so more people are participating in the chasing and finding action. That makes us wondering, will this be the prelude of the next battle between the Norm and the Mutants?
    What happened today recalls us to the day fifty years ago. I believe most people haven’t forgot that significant event. Gordon Strom, the eldest brother of the Strom family was found out to be mutant. When he was born, nobody realized that he is different. As he grows older, his arms are getting longer and longer, which draws everybody’s attention. From that day, Gordon has been banished to Badlands, where all image of devil lives. Several years later, his brother, Joseph Strom was born with the true image, and eventually he becomes the leader of people who against mutants. On the other hand, Gordon Strom has become the leader of mutants.
    This led us to the first battle between the image of God and Devil. The battle went on for exactly two weeks, and we could possibly call it the Bloody Rainfall, for it caused so many deaths on both sides. Gordon Strom was the commander of all anguish mutants, who didn’t believe that they are different. Gordon met his brother Joseph Strom on the battlefield and he hoped his brother could have mercy for them. They had a brief conversation but Joseph was resolute about the definition of man. Joseph also told Gordon that he would never confirm a mutant as his brother. This particular phrase made Gordon felt like the sky had just fell, but he had to accept the reality.
    After that battle, Gordon Strom was known as the “Spider-man” because of his extra long arms. He took his people further more from Waknuk, and started their civilization in Badlands.
    The story of Gordon Strom quickly rose upon Waknuk. Since then the examine process of new born babies are getting strict, every baby has to be carefully checked by professional inspector. This event always gives people the alarm that mutants are dangerous and outrages, and we must sweep them away before they can do anything.
    Everything goes on well until today. The new type of mutant can do “thought-shape”, which we call it telepathy. They can communicate with each other without saying a single word, and this makes them more threatening to people.

    The devil in their mind will come out someday in the future. We have to be prepared for that or the history may reappear.

Waknuk on the World













Waknuk on the World
(Found Poetry from John Wyndham's The Chrysalids)
Catherine L, Claire L, Supissara P, Winnie S, Helen Y

Our district Waknuk, 
with a tradition from long long ago.
The world was thought to be big and round.
The civilized part called Labrador round by sea and fish, and cold.
No one could live long,
Although there were only two cold months.
(Chapter 1)

Commandments and precepts
One learns as a child
The definition of man recited itself
Each leg has one foot, each foot has five toes
The definition of man must be a mistake
(Page 10~14)

Our district Waknuk, 
With a tradition from long long ago.
The long bank, 
Running away until it reached the hills.
The huge scar, 
That must have been made by the Old People.
(Page 17)


Commandments and precepts
The Norm is the Image of God
The Thing accursed in the sight of God and man
The devil has pronounced his mark through mutiny
But the true image is contradictory.
(Page 10, 27)

Our district Waknuk, 
With a tradition from long long ago.
It was simply the bank,
Running straight towards the hills
I regarded the country there as foreign
Not so much hostile, as outside my territory
(Page 6)

My Sin---The Pandora's Box

(A poetic response in perspective of Friar Lawrence)

Their marriage
Is forbidden.

Their relationship
Can not be told.

Their secret
Is a virus inside a box.
Their secret
Is the Pandora.

I am the guilty one,
Who made this happened.
I am the only one,
Who know the truth right now.

Young Juliet approached to me,
And her tears blinded my eyes.

This is the time,
Where I don't know what to do.
Or to know what is the right thing to do.
I should not have create the box filled with love and hatred.

How did this end up here?
Up to a point where I have to give out my vial.

What was I thinking?
Pray now for what have happened.

The Pandora's box is better not to be opened.
If it were,
I can not imagine the effect.

I wish I were thy bird

I wish I were thy bird
(a poetic response from Romeo's perspective) 

One blessed night,
Underneath your brightness.
Where the world is quiet and peaceful,
Where I see the angel.
High upon in the sky,
Seems like impossible for me to touch.
Name of our families,
That blocks my love.
But all of these sadness,
Will end when the moon rises.

One full moon,
Climbing up the hill.
Where it lights up our vision,
Where you say that you love me.
Though our love is forbidden,
Like Pyramus and Thisbe.
Believing or not,
We will make it through.
Swear by the moon,
Our love is not a dream.

One silver arrow,
Painted with the moonlight.
Strikes right to my heart,
Where I am yours.
You want me to stay,
And so do I.
You tie me up,
With hugs and kisses.
I wish I were thy bird,

Then I will never be able to leave you.

A journal response to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird from Scout's perspective

Dear Journal,

Summer is over now, and I am old enough to enter the school, which my brother Jem is in. At first, I was looking forward to get into a school, but after my first at school, I start dislike school. I guess the main reason is my teacher, Miss Caroline. She tried to prevent me from learning by myself, and telling me not to write before grade three. Miss Caroline is new to Maycomb County, so it is not surprised when she forced Walter Cunningham to take her quarter for lunch. The one thing that I can’t quite understand is that when I explained that the Cunningham never took anything they can’t pay back to Miss Caroline, and she picked up a ruler, gave me several quick pats, then told me to stand in the corner. I don’t think I did anything out of order.

After the first day of school, I really miss what happened during the summer where Jem, Dill, and I were playing around together. To be honest, the only thing I remember clearly from summer is the time when Dill persuaded Jem to touch the Radley’s house, and Jem was freaked out of his mind. After all, Jem still did it and we dashed back to our home as if Boo would come to us. Well, we have never known anything in detail about the Radley since Atticus doesn’t want to talk about it.


Maybe I shouldn’t write that much in my journal since Miss Caroline doesn’t like it, but who cares. I’m still going to copy out a chapter from the Bible, in order to get an open-faced sandwich of bread with butter and sugar from Culpurnia.

The Candle

The candle
(A poetic response to “the metaphor” by Budge Wilson)

Candle,
Something can live forever,
Somehow, it chooses to light up itself.
The light is warm,
Soft,
But is also attracting.
Everything around is lighten by this tiny candle,
Everything around enjoys the light,
And the candle is happy even though it is burning itself.

The candle,
Keep burning,
Thinking that everything enjoys the light.
The light is still warm,
Soft,
But it is repetitive.
Not everything likes to be lighten up,
Not everything cherishes the light,
And the candle shines itself for nothing.

The candle,
Becomes smaller,
And it starts crying.
Nobody understands it,
And nobody cares about it.
The wind blows,
And the last bit of flame has been snubbed out.
Now there it stands alone,

The remaining of that candle.
