Clue #1

1.When you think about beauty, we think of something that externally nice and pleasing. So like when people say you have a beautiful face, it means that you like nice. So thats why people try to do plastic surgery. But I think that true beauty is whats in you in the inside. So a beautiful person would not be someone who did all these different kinds of makeups, but would be someone who has a pure heart, who knows what is more valuable. Sometimes we think about our about our external beauty too much, that we forget about what true beauty is. So we start to act cold or unpleasent to people who do not look good. We should not do that and go back to what we should really do, that is beauty.Even the Bible tells us that interior beauty is more important.

2.Proverbs 31:30 - "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting: but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised

1 Samuel 16:7 - "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart

1. Reader’s response or personal response is a way of reading literature by bringing in your personal experiences while you read. Reader’s response focuses on your personal thoughts, so it is like reading through color lens. When you do use reader’s response, you have to connect to meanings and words constantly. Things you have to find would be personality traits, experiences, and many different connections. How you do readers response is you first read the book. You should read it carefully so you can find more connections and words in the text. Since this is your personal thoughts or experiences, you cannot be wrong on making connections. So if you have an idea, do not be afraid because you might think it sounds weird, and does not make sense.
2. When you read many different kinds of literature, you get to learn more about the world. First using the reader’s response gives us many different kinds of points of view. As you look into literature, you can see how different people could write their thoughts about a simple thing. Reader’s response would give truths like when you always believed the Earth was flat, but a book teaches you that it is actually round. As you read and make connections, your thoughts can become universal as time goes on. Second is literature usually has a theme or moral about life. Usually, when you use reader’s response, you can get a little more out of the book than when you are doing it because you read more carefully and you can understand things better if you connect while you read.
3. I think it is important to use reader’s response because when you use reader’s response, it helps you to connect more to the text and it makes the reader more interested. First, when you connect to the text, you can think it as it is your perspective. That helps us to understand the story more clearly because you know how it feels like in a situation like this. For example, if you think of Marigolds, it is easier for us to understand since we are all teenagers; we know how we cannot control our anger easily. So it felt so like ourselves. Second, it gets us interested. As you actively connect to the text, you can find many small connections that can relate to you in many ways. That can causes us to read the story deeper, because you can believe you are very connected to the protagonist
4. I read a book called Flags of Our Fathers. It is a book about the World War II, and it is about the people who had raised the flags in the island of Iwa Jima. The actually picture of the flag raising is quite a famous picture, if you have seen any pictures of that The book had almost nothing in common with me. The background was very different and I have never experienced anything related to war before. However, they were ordinary people who had experience war, and could not forget the shock. I felt connected to that, even though I never went to war and seen those terrible moments, I know how it feels to trying going over things that shocked me. However, these people were haunted by memories that were too horrible, like one person in the story; he cried every night for a while because he lost his friend in war and after seeing all those people die. This really gave me an idea of how scary war is, and how dangerous the world is right now.
