Although I don't see them very often because they are in Japan, I still have bad expeiences with them. Something bad that I experienced is when I was really young when I wanted to watch a TV programme desperately. As my sisters were older than me, they had authority to watch the TV but I wanted to watch TV at the same time as they wanted to watch TV. That made a conflict between me and my sister because we wanted to watch whatever we wanted to watch. As I remeber I got to watch the TV because my parents let me watch the TV because I was so young. I think she was jelouse because she didn't get to watch the TV, but I did.

Clue #2

Okay, now what can plot structure reveal to me about the truth I will encounter in literature?

1. The phot shows an example of a plot diagram. First, it shoews exposition, second, rising action, third, climax, forth, falling action and the last is resolution.

2. The stories should and need to be structured because the story also has to be builds up in sequence. So first is to write exposition, then rising action, climax, falling action and lastly the resolution. As the stories are structures, our lives are also structured, so if the writing or a story is structured, that makes the reader read easier and understand better.

3. As I read the plot graph, and the structure of ‘Marigolds’, I found new things that Marigolds is also structured. The girl in the story, Elizabeth’s life is structured, because her life is built like a graph.

Plot & short story structure

Clue #1`

Hmmm…what can beauty and reader response reveal to me about short stories & their relationship to truth about God’s world?
1. in reader’s response, there should be several steps through this process. First, we have to know the connection between the characters in the story and how they are related to you or other people like your family or friends. Second, is how the readers react and think about the characters in the story and how the readers react to the story.

2. As we read the reader response, we can know how the readers felt by reading a story, so it makes us easier to know how the story goes or if it’s good or not, which can lead us to open our eyes to more truth.

3. It’s important to interact or connect with literally with something or someone, because it is easier for us to understand the story if we connect and interact with something or someone or even you.

4. I read a book called ‘Checkmate’ which the book is about racism. I already knew that there is still a lot of racism around the world right now, but as I read this book, racism became in my head even more, so I could understand how bad racism is although now it’s the 21st century.

Beauty & reader response

1. In my opinion, the word ‘beauty’ is something or someone which attract thing and humans. This just doesn’t mean this, I think as the bible says, God said that everything is beautiful and wonderful so things that were created by God are all beautiful and wonderful.

2. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
6There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.[b]
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
14. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " 16From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,[e][f]who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

This passage, John 1:1-18, would be the exposition because it describes the characters that will show up later on in the story.
