Journal Memior # 2


So after Roald Dahl had introduced himself and his father had passes away, his mom sold their big mansion and moved in to a very small house. That was when he had started kindergarten at the age seven. He attended Llandaff Cathedral School, which is a very small school. At that time he really want to have bike like every other kids around his neighborhood, but he was too little to ride a bike, his mother told him. So he was sad that he doesn't have a bike.
So instead of a bike he made new friend. He made four friend which go to the same school as he does. They are like the best friend in the world. Roald Dahl even said that they will do everything together. One time they pulled a prank with a dead mouse at a store owner, who they hate. So they got in trouble after the owner found out. Their teacher whipped them at their bottom with a hard stick, which burn like fire. This remind me of myself when I was little. I remember putting a dead mouse in my brother shoe and got in trouble for it. So like I was saying, Roald Dahl got into many troubles in his school that his mother had moved him into a another school. So he had to leave all of his best friends behind his memory.

Journal Memior # 1


For the first part of my book, I have enjoyed my memoir Boy, by Roald Dahl. This was a very great book so far because I love to read Roald Dahl's novel. I remembered reading almost all of his book. From Matilda to The Witches to James and the Giant Peach and to Danny the Champion, those are some of the great novel he had wrote. So in this book Boy, Roald Dahl tells about his early childhood. He talked about when he was very young his father had died and left him and his mother with six other children. Because he had lost his father at a very young age, this remind me of my father. I also had lost my father as well, which is very said. Roald Dahl also mention that his father was a very wealthy man because they had lived in a mansion before his father pass away. He talked about how his father was the best dad in the world because his father would take him out to the wide sea and search for treasure. Not only his dad was special but his father had lost his hand at the age of 14, which make very hard for his dad the play sport with him. But still the trip to the sea was the best adventure in the world.

My Hand

I hate this tiny little hand.
I hate this hand because it's a curse.
A curse that will make me fail in life.
I hate this hand of weakness.
My grandma told me, my hand is the hand of faith.
the hand of faith.
This is the hand from my mother.
This is the hand from my father.
the hand for cooking, and the hand for writing.
Remember back to the day of young.
to the day of elementary.
this was the hand for picking my nose.
the hand for eating and the hand to fight.
this my hand and the hand for hope and success.
this hand is my legacy.
