Should Toshio and Kiyoshi be responsible for their family's debt? essay #4

It doesn’t seem right that a the kids should take the fault for something that the parents have done, especially when the kids didn’t know what was actually going on and the decisions that the parents take that made them be indent.

If Toshio and Kiyoshi end up being responsible for their families’ debt they would have trouble starting their own life because of their families dept. It would seem like it would be hard to try to start your own life. But before you can you have to figure out how to finish your families and you don’t know how long it would take for them to be able to start fresh.

Families debt can hold someone back specially when you don’t know how far in your family can be and it can make people not trust you or things will just be harder to be accomplished because of the background the your family might have.

"All I asking for is my body" Part 3

At the end of the story Kyoshi figures out a way to help out his family he realizes that the only way he can release his family from depth is to join the military. No matter what way he would make it back his parents would be able to get money from the military (dead or alive). So when he left and started to make money he would send it to his parents so they can pay off what they owed then he realized the he became really good at gambling. That helped him be able to send more money back home and be able to free his family from all the depth they were in because they would have to deal with it eventually.

So he was able to help out his family so much and was able to pull them through so they can all start fresh and not have to worry about it. Him doing all this for his family and being able to set everything a side just to free his family from everything was incredible. To help the people that you love and to do what ever it takes to help them and not to see them suffer is what family is all about and all they wanted was to be able to live with a sense of freedom and he was able to give that to them.

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 is all about being able to add more words in your Writing and knowing where it is the proper place to add those words. It also made me realize that we have learned to take out a lot of words from our writing. Most of the time if you start omitting to many words the writing might start sounding a little short with what you want to say. One just has to make sure that when you start adding words to your sentences that they don't become to overwhelming. Also you have to make sure to what you are adding more words to and that if it is the proper thing to add it to.

I would use this chapter in my future writing because it can help me expand my writing and know what the proper way is to do it. Also when i want to add more words that I would not expand my sentences to long that the would just be on going sentences but that at the end they would make sense. And that when someone will read it they wont drift off and just think that the my sentences are going to be to long; but that with that I can be able to get to the point and explain my self more clearly.

substitute for his mom

Kiyoshi's mother became very ill after her teeth got rotten. The dentist had to remove all her teeth to help her ease the pain but it was already so bad that the infection go worse. She would try so hard to work even though she couldn't because she knew that she was the only income they had. so if she would feel just a tad better she would get right to work and push her self pass the limit with out realizing it and then she would get extremely sick again and the she couldn't do anything after that because she would get so bad. so that would effect them in different ways because she wasn't able to be there for her kids and her husband. Kiyoshi's mothers illness lead to her telling Kiyoshi about how in debt the where with everyone and that this has been going since they moved to Hawaii.

So that made her believe that she was bad luck and that she would bring bad luck to her family. One thing that she says is that if you are in debt starting that new year that it will bring bad luck that year. She was very superstition about everything and thing, and what everyone would do. She would believe in every superstition that you could possibly think of and that would effect her and her family in so many ways, and in there relationship between them and their mother.

Chpter 40

Chapter 40 is about learning how to Abbreviate and when is the right time to do it when writing something. There are many ways one can abbreviate things but does’t mean it right for example is “avoiding redundant titles such as Dr. Amy Day, MD. Choose on title or the other: Dr. Amy Day or Amy Day, M.” That shows a good way to limit yourself instead of abbreviating everything throughout your writing because if might distract the reading from the writing.

I would tend to abbreviate lots of thing throughout my writing and this chapter had me thinking about it and the ways I could use it the right way. There is a lot of things we can abbreviate but we have to make sure it is at the right time because for example if we would abbreviate something before the reader know what your talking about the reader will be lost before they finish what you want to let them know.

Essay # 3 Forgiving

The importance in forgiving someone is to be able to move on with your own life, especially if that someone is close to you.

Rules for Writers Ch.45

This chapter is about capitalizing the proper words in a sentence and how it is very important to know what words are the right ones to capitalize and the right time to do it. One thing we have to be careful with is capitalizing common nouns to make them seem important, that is a mistake that most people seem to do. So its important to know the difference from a proper noun and a common noun. There is some exceptions to it but its is good to know what those are too.

This Chapter will help me in the future for when I am revising a paper of anything I might be looking over to know if I didn't capitalize something that i should of. Also learning the difference from a proper noun and a common noun because feel like i have made those mistakes time and time before and this chapter has made me realize how to capitalize things that need to be capitalized. Also there are so many things that i didn't think that would need to be capitalized that really do need to be.
