THE LAST KISS- Ralph Fletcher
“My mother was the first woman I ever loved. A good night kiss from my mother meant a great big hug. I went to my father and he knew why I was there. I decided to try my father again. Maybe last night’s missed kiss was no more than a quirk. There were more several unfamiliar tries. I noticed that I was too old to be kissed by my father.” -A part of the last kiss-
I read the story, the last kiss which is about a child who wanted to be kissed by its parents every night. A good night kiss stood for a great hug to it. The main mentioned that it could go off to bed comfortably after kissing its parents. But one night it went to its father to be kissed by him and he surely knew why it was there but he turned away from it.
I believe that the main conflict is that its father ceased kissing it before every bedtime. The reason is that in fact, the word conflict is a struggle or a disagreement between characters. Add more, most events such as climax, falling action, feeling, behaviors are altered after the action of the conflict.
Therefore the relationship between it and its father had changed after the conflict, even though it tried lots of efforts to be kissed by its father, everything had become more awkward and awkward after stop kissing and they were estranged from each other. It was the first time that the main character felt something weird and later it knew that it was too old to be kissed by its father. This scene fits perfectly into the meaning of conflict. Therefore I strongly feel like the conflict of this story is that its father stopped kissing it.
I identify that conflict in the story is external. The reason is that one of the external conflicts is character versus character which means conflict happens people against people. And conflict happened between it and its father in the story. Therefore I consider it is an external conflict.
In my pound poem, I mostly cared about the color because I thought it could demonstrate the concept of the story. For example, I used blue, brown, gray on the first page to share the story would be sad. Add more to that, I drew people who are hugging. The reason is that the main character mentioned that a good night meant a hug.
I used orange, brown, yellow on the second page because the main character realized that it was too old to be kissed by its parents, realized the truth. Therefore I wished it would fill with joy. I used yellowish colors and put a heart.
In both pages, I divided the background into variable shapes because I wanted to present the character’s feeling of sorrow, pain at its father by fragments of a mirror.

During this sewable electronic project, i believe that i had lots of experiences. My original plan was doing interactive stuffed monster and making a monster. However, designing a monster was quite hard to me and i thought that making stuffed monster would be take a lot of time at cutting and sewing so i decided to change my plan to an interactive mural which looked really cool. In addition, i put polar bear for my character because in an animation that i know, polar bear is a main character which is really cute! It is not a change but i was concerning between blue and green LEDS but finally i chose blue. The reason is that my felt colors blue therefore i thought that blue looks better than green. About electronic components, needed circuit playground express, an app that i used to make a code and to light LEDS up! Battery pack.
There was no materials that i needed. Basically i was trying to light LEDS on its eyes. Be more specific, i used A2; output to two blue LEDS, A3: input to contribute LED. Other details are a polar bear was holding a pen and a paper which means that ‘Do no disturb’. I used white for its body, black for pen, gray for paper and black for footprints, eyes and nose. Back felt’s size was 20, 25. During this activity, i learned how to use circuit playground express. First time of using it was really hard and complicating but now i understand how to use it which is really good! If i have a chance to try this activity again, i will try interactive stuffed monster. (or not)

During this activity, i made a character, KoYa which is a cute koala and i chose it because it had simple and comfortable design to work on. My other designs were a brown cookie and a character, Charlie Brown. The brown cookie’s size was kind of small to make by thread and i really wanted to use Charlie Brown for my design but it was complicating to make it. Therefore i thought that Koala would be the best and the most comfortable design.
I learned many professional and basic sewing words such as running stitch, chain stitch, back stitch, straight stitch and bury. The first time of sewing back stitch was hard and unclear for me because i only could do running stitch at that time but after practicing, i overcame it! If i have a chance to say something to next semester’s students, i would tell them to watch many videos which demonstrate basic sewings. For instance, back stitch. I just want to try another design which is more hard than this koala.
I think it is such a good experience to try!!

I think i did well in looking into the informations that i had to find, ran through the details and wrote a short intro. But I might improve where i found the informations from which articles. I marked myself in conclusion because it wasn’t clean. Planning essay was quite hard to me because 1 year ago, i missed out planning and i directly wrote an essay.
In chapter 1 in page 3, Nancy threw a peanut sand which to Percy’s friend, Grover. And Percy felt annoy and a bit sad because Grover was only his friend and the best friend to him. Percy wanted to hit Nancy, but Grover consoled Percy not to make a huge fight cause, of him. Nancy’s ugly friends laughed at him.
Grover was an easy target to others. Because he looked weak and he walked silly. Nancy had a bad conscious and she liked to kid others.
I think Percy was very really a good kid but maybe he didn’t know how to control his motion, so his relationship was not so good.
Before he tells someone, give himself a chance to think. And say persons be kindly.
Another accident on chapter 2 page 21, Mr. Brunner and Grover were talking about Percy. And they were very serious and worried him like he was in a danger or a problem. One part of thier talking, Grover said “I don’t want to fail again.”. But Percy was behind the door and he heard what they talked so he just automatically dropped his book…… And Percy asked Grover with angry.
In this scene Grover was nervous and confuse. When I read this scene, I could feel Percy’s feeling Percy like curious, anxious and a bit revenge of Grover.
I think to manage emotions firstly, consider the decision against his values, be grateful and don’t give in to negative thinking.
I think Percy is brave and has a courage, because in chapter 1 Percy helped his friend, Grover while he was in a danger and also when Percy was in a trouble, he didn’t feel so sad and tried to solve it. When Percy was trying to go Half-blood campus, a monster tried to kill Percy, his mom and Grover. But after his mum was died (actually she was gone) by the monster Percy killed the monster and helped Grover to escape from the monster. So that’s why I think Percy is brave and has a courage in his mind.
I also think Percy felt confuse because Percy’s mother kept secrets to Percy. And in the chapter 5 after Percy got up, Percy told Grover about his dream, he drank a cup of juice ad then Grover asked him what taste like. Percy answered it tasted like his mum’s chocolate chips- home made, then Grover said that’s really good. So that’s why I think it’s pretty curious .
