Journal 37: Setting and Plot

Although the conflict and the character is the same, the setting might have a huge toll on the outcome and the resolution. The fight between the two friends might end really fast, since there are people around to stop them, also one of the characters might trip due to sand and they might take more damage due to a high chance of them wearing only swim trunks due to the hot weather. The fight in England during winter 200 years ago would have been much different, due to the two friends wearing a lot of cloths for protection and it might also end up deadly, due to not a lot of people in a farm and the crime cases are really high in the old times. The two people fighting in England might also be britishman and also might be swearing at each other with British accent, while the people fighting in California might be any race actually, so we cannot really tell. The story of there will be soft rains might change if the house is located where it is not nuked or somewhere far from a tree branch. That way the house and maybe perhaps the family would’ve survived and the story will have a better ending, but the story will also lose its meaning, which is no one can beat the power of nature, if the house was to still stand at the end of the story.

(ps ) this was a late journal , you might want to not count the grades

Journal 40: Winter Holiday

This year’s winter break was one of the more exciting ones I have had, and to be honest it is actually quite good and nice, the best part is I even got a brand new Sony portable game device known as the ngp(ps vita) it was the best Christmas present I ever had. Me and my family also went to Taichung and spent 3 to 4 days there, it was really fun since it was close to the shopping center, and we can just walk there, the other bonus is the Christmas spirits and the decoration in the mall, which makes us feel happy. I would not have believed that my parents would even consider buying me a gaming device, and this action really surprised me, I felt a bit guilty since I didn’t achieve anything special like winning a award or something. The only regret I have for this winter break is not studying enough and not having cram school or thing, my classmate took three tennis lessons a week, and had improved a lot ever since, also the sorrow of this winter break is that it was too short and I would’ve enjoyed it if it was a bit longer, I mean after all, who wouldn’t?
