Reflection

Dragon’s Gate Reflection
        When a person like Ekachai Narula was assigned to read a book of 300 pages and do many task on it, to me it felt impossible. I have never been reading books at all. This project was successful after all because I focused on reading and not reading for fun. This reading gave me more than I taught; it gave me the knowledge to know more about the characters and the different settings in the story that gave me a vision of how things are like around the world.
          This project really made me super stress about it at first, but when I started reading it changed. This also taught me that reading is also fun if there is a fun story waiting for you in the book. This reading assignment will surely make me read more during my spare time instead of just sitting and doing nothing. Even though this assignment gave me a lot I still want to say that the time for finishing the book and sending the summaries were a bit too short for me. But thinking in a positive way I told myself that it will give you attention to the book and not make you lazy.
          So In conclusion to this reflection, I have no other person in this world to thank for giving such a wonderful project which is Miss Amy. Without her I believe I will still not be interested in books, but now I am more interested in books because of her especially. This reading assignment became my best assignment after reading such a magnificent book. Thank You Miss Amy for everything!!

Otter's Dreams, Goals, And Motives


OTTER’S GOALS, DREAMS, AND MOTIVES
          As we look into the book Dragon’s Gate, we get to open our eyes to the main character which is the young boy Otter who was adopted to the Three Willows Village and thought to himself that he is just a stranger to the village.
          Otter believing to himself always that he was a stranger wanted to do something that will make the village knows him properly. His one single goal he had was from the speech that Uncle Foxfire had lectured. This is to go work in the Land of Golden Mountain and find the final way to get rid of the Manchu’s and British. This goal was left in his heart always after that speech.
          Accomplishing a goal is not an easy think; in fact it is really difficult to pass through the obstacles. Otter really passed through many of the obstacles before he could get to his path. In the Land of Golden Mountain he also had difficulty dealing with many people there and came to know the truth of his own Uncle Foxfire that he was not the legend as he was in Three Willows.
          Even though Otter was angry about what happened to him in the Land of Golden Mountain, the spirit that is in his heart gave him the perfect accomplishment at last with all the sorrows and anger that he had passed through.
          In conclusion, everyone has goals and dreams to something they really want to accomplish in their lives. And in this story Otter had done to show us all that if we give up is like we have no purpose to be living in this planet called Earth. We need to fight that’s what God had made us for. Otter’s goals have really showed me one spark that goals can’t come by us sitting and do nothing but will come to us if we put some effort to it.
