Homework1:
Sadako likes running very much and she was the member of bamboo class. But a misfortune befell her. She got leukemia. When she was sick, her best friend, Chizuko tell her a story about the thousand paper crane. So Sadako start making paper cranes. But at last, she was dead by leukemia. She only made six hundred and forty four paper cranes.
Homework2:
Sadako, when the book said you in the running race and you also have leukemia, you shock me a lot. I think you are really a brave girl in your family, not like an effeminacy flower. According to your friend, Chizuko, that you really want to make a thousand paper cranes, and you really made six hundred and forty four, I appreciate your will power. If I were you, I think I will only make fifty paper cranes and give up.

Homework2:
Sadako, when the book said you in the running race and you also have leukemia, you shocked me a lot. I think you are really a brave girl in your family, not like an effeminacy feminine ["effeminacy" is a noun, so when used to describe another noun, "flower," you must use an adjective] flower. According to your friend, Chizuko, that you really want to make a thousand paper cranes, and you really made six hundred and forty four. I appreciate your will power. If I were you, I think I will would only make fifty paper cranes and give up.
Beautiful response, Nicole! Your message to Sadako is very sweet and touching!

Great response, Shirley! The summary you gave is very thorough and I like the message you wrote to her. Yes, it is quite sad that she was not able to do a lot of things like run or attend her school's graduation because of her sickness.
