Encyclopedia and the Case of the Sleeping Dog
by Donald J. Sobol

The end of this book is very funny because you have all the clues in front of you to solve a case of code and when you are torturing your mind to know the person and you can't. In the end, the way they coded the code on the paper sheet was very easy, however, you need to pay attention because all words or names you hear are very hopeful to solve the case. I think that the author gave Encyclopedia nickname to Leroy to show how smart he is and how a little boy could help his father solve a case he could not solve in his own. I also think that Encyclopedia is a special children because he is a good detective and could think very harder and smarter than a kid of his age.

Listening Passage: Mona Lisa

One possible identity of Mona Lisa is that he could be Leonardo Da Vinci himself because according to one theory they match perfectly. For example, according to the study of Dr. Swatch, a scientist, the self-portrait of Leonardo Da Vince and Mona Lisa match and found out that they have the same shades and match perfectly.

Character Unit Intro

I think that people sometimes change and sometimes not because some people do believe that what they do is right even though most of people disagree with them, however, some people do change when others do reproach them about their negative acts. For example, in Monster, the main character does change in the end because he knew that he was changed for could affect his life and he become aware of his acts. Also, in A Tree Growing in Brooklyn, Francie changes more mature when her dad died and she needs to work to help her mother takes care of the family. In the other hands, some people don't change like my brother who needs to learn to be patient. Also the AKA group who didn't change their mind about racism.

Election Reflection

This election was one of the interesting election in the history of the United States of America. The especial interesting about this election is the fact that American people didn't care about the race of the candidates, but for what they believe and would accomplish for America. However, the most attractive point in this election is that a African-American won the election who would change so many for kids in this country. He is the good example for all especially for young people because he make them have a interesting for politic and moreover young people believe in him by voting so many than precedents Election Presidential. Obama open a door for young people in politic that we hope would never close. He shows that everyone could dream higher and make a change in this country. By following his steps, everything seem easier, but we have a lot to work out.
