The Ture Ending
At the end of Maniac, he finally got a home where he could live with Amanda and Mars Bars. They would live happily ever after. My prediction was absolutely right because I could know that he extremely wanted to have a home. Finally he did. Moreover, he had people to live with. He would not feel lonely anymore.
The End of Maniac
Maniac and Mars Bar hated each. Mars Bar thought he was discriminated. He always said bad things to Maniac but he had ignored him. Finally, they thought this was not right so they became friends. I can predict that Maniac will get a home where he can live there.

My Red Tree
While reading "The Red Tree" by Shuan Tan, which certainly makes me feel the same as the little girl had in the story, I just wonder what makes her unhappy. Basically, she had no dreams so she was easily in the blues.
In a way, I could understand the feeling she had since I definitely knew what it felt like. I have experiences in having depressed time. That just made me want to be alone and not to be bothered. Yet, if I had gotten a positive way of thinking and said "Yes" instead of saying "No", I would have been much better and everything would turn looking good.
I absolutely have my red tree, and that is my secret box. I have collected lots of stuff before I came to Malaysia, such as, letters, small presents, old pictures and so on. I love gathering those stuff and re-read over and over again when I am alone. That just makes me feel more comfortable and better. Furthermore, I can remember what I had been doing when I was really young by looking at my old pictures.

Mr.Linden's Library
"Where is it?" Jessie keeps looking for a book that she has to read;she must make a presentation in front of her classmates for English Literature class. No matter how hard she tries, it is not easy to find the book. She surely knows the book is in the library. Finally, she decides to ask a librarian, Mr. Linden, to get the book. She explains him that the book is somewhat related to adventures. Mr. Linden stares at her for a while, and takes a prudent and cautious approach. Jessie wonders why he acts that way.
A few minutes later, he comes up to her and whispers, "I will lend you this book without asking checking out." he continues, "yet promise me you will not read the book from cover to cover." He firmly warns her. He gives the book hastily and walks away. She is at a loss and doesn't know what to say. Gazing at the book for a minute, she makes her mind to keep the promise he asked.
On arriving home, she is so tired and ready to sleep. However, she can't go to bed as she becomes aware of the book that Mr.Linden gave to her. She slowly puts the book out of her bag and begins to read it, totally forgetting what he asked her not to. As soon as she finishes the book from the first page to the last, the amazing thing happens; a forest came out of the book. It was so sudden that she can't think of anything. Without any special reasons, she suddenly falls a sleep.
Next day, she quietly wakes up and starts to look around. Everything seems fine but she just realizes that she has had a dream the previous night. Everything that she had in the dream becomes vividly alive in her memory. She saw and experienced lot of things in her dream. It is like the movie called "Avatar." Meeting many different sorts of spirits and mysterious monsters, she thinks to herself that it is very grateful to have this kind of experiences.
Jessie comes to a conclusion to make a presentation for her class. She still can't believe what she has underwent. In a way, she wants to thank Mr. Linden because it started from him. One day she goes to the library to give thanks to him but could not find him anywhere. She inquires people whether they have ever seen him but no one knows about him. She feels so weird and doesn't know what to do.
A few days later, she realizes that she broke the promise that she made with Mr. Linden, not to read the book from cover to cover. However, it was too late to remember that because Mr. Linden has already disappeared because of her.
