SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS


I am reading Snow falling on cedars,which talks about the
relationship between two families which are the Miyamotos
and the Heines. The story tells us what happened between
them and what the problem was. In fact, the argument was
about Heine's land. do you know why? Heine agreed to sell
the land to Zenhichi Miyamoto, because they were a good
friends.But, what happened? Heine sr. died,his wife dose
not like the japanese,also,miyamoto was in the camp at
that time. So she did not sell the land to the Miyamotos.
After that, there were problems between them. The reason
they suspected Miyamoto's son whose name is kabuo, is
because learned Kendo and his ancestors were samurais.
they suspected him of murdering Carl Heine,Jr.



My favorit character from this novel is Ishmael
Chambers. He has one arm and feels bad about his lack
of trust. He knows the died man who is Carl Heine,
from high school and the accused man's family. He
has nice realationship with the accused man's wife,
her name Hatsue. He knew her before she got married
when they were 14 years old,and he really loves her.
In fact, They used to go to aprivate place and he
kissed her,and also they worked together. Finally,
I like him because he feels bad about his lack of
trust. So it is thing that worries him all the time.
But, actually he would love to be honest

The death of Ryan Livingston

I went to the website that talked about the death of Rayn
Livingston and how he died. So, he was 22 years old. The
police found him when he was still alive but he was bleeding
from his body, even though the police could take information
from him. He was attacked after he got out from a concert,
walking on West Walnut St, and he was killed in a robbery
attempt.

In my opinion, the story was very sad because he was killed
without reason, and i am amazed at why the police did not find
the suspects quickly. I hope the police found the suspects and
made a capital punishment.

AL CAPONE


I went to the website that talked about what Al Capone did and
how he became rich. So,he was in New York and then he went to
chicago.He worked with a bad group. They called him by a special
name. .He has many things like buildings and cars. So,he has a big
income. Finally, when he got a bad reputation he went to florida.

MY OPINION

The story was very interesting,because he became a rich man
in three to five years without jobs. I know he was a bad guy
but actually he is very a smart man and he has confidence in
himself. Right now all people know him as a man who broke the law.
