(3 sentences)

The story started of when Mrs. Nebo and her friend went for shopping at the Oriental Plaza (both was well groomed due to there wealth). Mrs. Nebo bought a few items of which one was a dress. You can pick up that she is a women who can buy without finding any value for the items she buys (she bought a dress similar to one she already owns). The assistant of the shop notice how freely she spends her money and brought her attention to a scarf that could go with the dress. She (who could be seen as a perfectionist in the color scheme of her cloth) went on the search for a specific type of scarf and could not find such until she came to Mr. Sakus store. She wanted the scarf, but did not have enough cash and wanted to pay with a queue (and as we can make out;” what she want she gets!”). Mr. Sakus explain his policy (he only deals with cash strictly!) Mrs. Nebo. This just made Mrs. Nebo frustrated and embarrassed. She could not understand his reason and jump to conclusion, that he did not think she has the money. Mr. Sakus did not want to alter his policy for anyone (not even someone that is that important), because others will want the same treatment. She then forced a potential threat upon them (the traders) which made them give her the scarf for free. Mrs. Nebo only said thank you to the other traders, but left Mr. Sakus with a threat in mind.

(11 sentences)

There are two main characters namely, the protagonist and the antagonist.
Mr. Sakus an Indian businessman was the protagonist and Mrs. Nebo was the antagonist.
Mr. Sakus strongly believed in his values. His biggest value was equality (He will not treat Mrs. Nebo different from all the other customers) Mr. Sakus characteristics can be described as being proud, strong, fair and honest. He also has integrity and come forth as a hard working person, who deserve his money and therefore has more respect for it than Mrs. Nebo.
(5-sentences)

Mrs. Nebo can be described as self-indulgent, arrogant and blessed (due to her husband’s position). She has no respect for money, because she did not sweet for it. She was also egocentric and selfish for she had all the money, but accepted free gift from people less fortunate. She could be narrow minded or with little experience for she did not understand there sufferings and felt no pity for them. She is also very demanding and did not stand back for thing she could not get. She only considers her values to be respected, but have no respect for other people's values.

Through the tunnel

Identify the setting:
Vacationing at a beach they have come to many times in years past. Though the beach's location is not given, it is implied to be in a country that is foreign to them both (speaking a language he did not understand).
(2 sentences)
Summarize the plot in 10-15 sentences.
Jerry (main character and protagonist) is on a holiday with his mother (a widow) at a beach. The fact that they said he knew it so well, tells you it could be a routinely vacation (at that location). The boy who is highly adventures spotted the “wild and rocky bay”, and was determined to explore. His over protected mother allowed him to explore and leave the protected beach where he usually played. The older boys swimming near him grabbed his attention, but he keeps a distance until one wave at him (they made him feel unwelcoming and already formed their own clique). He was so interested in the boys that he did not even notice their thought and feelings towards him (they dislike him, because he was a foreigner). He then acts in a way (like a foolish dog) that cause the boys to leave (they were leaving to get away from him). He was motivated to improve his skill in swimming and demanded for his mother to buy him goggles (his battle to transform from boy to man was born). He then stared exercising each day, through the pain (nose-bleeds, exhaustion, and dizziness) the water caused on his lungs. While he improved more day by day, his mother worried herself more day by day. After his goal was completed and he knew what it was like to be man, he interest in this new adventure has diminished and also his interest in the older boys. He was satisfied through his success and wanted to go back to the protected beach and away from the wild and rocky bay (he was more man than child now).
(14sentences)
Describe the main characters in 5-10 sentences.
Jerry is a young English boy who is 11 years old. In the story you could realize that he felt isolated and wanted to be part of the teenage boy’s clique. His isolation can clearly be understood for he had only his mother to hang out with and was fatherless. Jerry’s mother do not want to make him feel like a “mommy’s boy”, and he tries to avoid her as much as possible, but he still relies heavily on her (Always checking if she still there, when he’s scared). The birth of Jerry’s transformation from boy to teenager to man began the first time he met the teenage boys. Through his transformation you notice characteristic strength, determinant and bravery. At the end he met his goals and was more mature (could be seen with the conversation he had with his mother).

My blog experience

When I was busy opening my blog, I thought it was an academic program, but to my surprise it was a Social program. I was also confused, for I did not understand the purpose of this activity and how it related to LPB! As soon as I got home I wanted to "pump" it! I downloaded a picture I took in Henties, because it makes me feel relaxed and calm.
