I found a book where a characters are a lot like my sister and me. In that story, older sister planned to disappaer from her home. She saved her money and made her brother to join it. They had lots of fight during disappaer from their home. My sister always wants me to join her plan and we always have fight when we are together. Also older sister in the story, she love to spend money and younger brother like to save the money. This is almost same as my sister and me. Maybe I will find more books that have a character which a lot like me.

Clue 2
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
6There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.[b]
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " 16From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,[e][f]who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

I think this part is a exposition of Jesus Christ’s life. John came before Jesus born and passage above is telling story of John then John telling about Jesus Christ that how greatful him and will be. Also this passage introduing Jesus. That why I think this part is a exposition of Jesus Christ’s life.

2. Why do stories need to be structured? What dose this reveal about our need, as humans, to constuct understanding?
Stories need to be stuctured, because if there are not stuctured, events in the story will mixed up so no one can understand the theme or main question.3. After you looked at the plot graph and structure of "Marigolds", what new things did you see in the story that you didn't see before?
After I looked at the plot graph and structure of "Marigolds", I saw some kind of pattern of stairs that show feeling of main character.

The Interpretation of Murder
pengutip.ujungjalan.com/?p=28
I like to read a fantasy and an adventure. In fantasy, I can imagine that I'm in the story. I also like imagination animals in the fantasy. They are very creative. In kind of an adventure stories, It is very fun to read that the ways characters in the story solving conflicts during the adventure.
I like to lay on my bed or sit on the something while I'm reading a book. My favorite place to read is on the tree but it is not often happen. If a book is a boring book, I listen to music, if it is not, I do not listen to music because the book is already fun.
I think books should be made into movies, because there are some people who hate to read a book. By making books into movies,they will watch the movies so they will learn some lessons.
