Homework for 11th class

MC Ms. Claire EganMember

For homework, please read the first two chapters of The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.

 

Answer the following question about the Hundred Penny Box:

Very often, we keep certain objects or possessions to remind us of something or someone. In The Hundred Penny Box, we found the themes of “holding on” to the past, the way that Aunt Dew does, and “letting go” the way that Michael’s mother, Ruth, tries to.  Ruth thinks that you need to forget the past in order to be happy in life What do you think of this? Is it more important to forget about bad things or things in the past, or to remember them?

 

Then, please translate the first page of Ch. 2 of The Hundred Dresses, which is on pages 8-9.

  • I don’t agree with Michael’s mother. Because remember bad things or something in past it’ very important. We can have something to commemorate. If something is happy. We’ll feel happy when we think it. If something is bad. We don’t need feel sad. We can find what is insufficient. We can correct mistake. And do better.

In China,We has an old saying,"the things you do before like a mirror,they can help you find your mistakes."I think it also have many truths,and it tell us we should care about the old memory.Maybe some memory is terrible to us,we wants to forget it.But I think that is not a brave people should do.It is escape.So we should remember the bad things or things in the past and use the correct attitude with it.

I think we should remember the things, include the bad things. The bad things will remind us not to do the bad things again and remind us the mistakes we have made in the past. If you never mind the mistakes you have dong, you will never go forward. You will stay in the past, doing the wrong things again and again. And we won't have a happy life.
