The Greatest Power by J4Y-71993R

The book the greatest power was touching because everybody (lol) at Sing (the the little main character). Because she thought life was the greatest power and she was right. If I got to be that ambassador guy I would’ve banished all of those who mocked and (lol) at her. I’ve would’ve done that because they were mean and dumb for (lol) at her. Sing was a very wise girl and smart for saying that life is the greatest power. I think that the greatest power in the world is life too because how could we be all alive right now typing and reading J4Y- 71993R’5 blog on blogger.com, and everybody else doing what there doing right this second. So if you disagree with me hit me up on www.blogger.com PEACE OUT J4Y- 71993R’S LEFT THE BUILDING!!!!!

My Story

I thought that Sing was actually like the only one who thought about what she was going to do and it turned out that she was right. I don't think that the other children thought like her . . . they didn't actually give it the time. When they mentioned the warrios it made me think of a movie I saw and my great grandma went to China and brought me back a warrior . .. I forget what kind of warrior it was but it is very cool and it is stone and my teacher has one also. It's molded after the remains of the warriors in a temple. There was a god that lived on a mountain who was angry at the world and a little bird came up one day and he told the bird that he wanted the world on fire by tonight. The little bird warned everyone on the villages in China and they came up with the idea to make red lanters . . .red, yellow orange to make it look like fire and put a light inside and that night they all went out and they helped them hang the lanters and the god was so pleased because he thought the bird had caught the world on fire but actually the bird saved them. One of my teachers showed us a video about this story and the story is from China also. They were making paper lanterns for the Chinese New Year. In the book they were making masks to scare about the evil spirits and the god got scared when he saw the lanterns becasue he thought the world would catch on fire.

The most powerful thing in the world

I think the book is about a Eporer who is trying to figure out one question. "what is the most powerful thing in the world?" He thinks the answer is the balance of life. If I was one of the children I would bring Emporer Ping a little bit of everything. I also think that if Sing would'nt have figured it out the Emporer would have had his question unaswerd. I will blog next week!

Bye :)

Nikolai's three questions

sorry for posting this so late!

What this book is about is really touching. Most of the time we wonder what is the best thing to do and we always chase after those thing that are far away from our real life. But I think we should slow down our step and do what is now right beside you, hold your friendship tight, do whatever need to do, that would be the true meaning of "Seize the Day"

About "The Greatest Power"

In this story, through the emperor’s question, I realized that the greatest power is come from the life, the meaning of life but the form of strength, knowledge and beauty. Human are liked the lotus’ seed, we’re now the seeds and when we get married, we’ll become the flower and give life to our children, the new seeds Always, the answer is in ourself but we just find answers ouside but not in our mind.Anyway, it’s fun that I once know that Guan Yu is the money god.

We read the book we the second time today. I noticed how dramatic the pictures were. There was a lot of action in the pictures. I read a book recently about - it was called "Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen and in the story Gary explained the boy named Brian's problems like how his parents got divorced because of another man and his mother's life. Brian was trying to figure out the answers to his problems and so is Nakolai. They both figured out their own problems by themselves . . .instead of people just giving them the answers they learned themselves.

#1 question

After i get my homework i feel like it's the right time to play video games, sleep,help around the house,go outside,watch TV,or get on the computer!i like to do all of these things because there fun, helpful, and appropriate for my age!if your reading this do you agree with me?my name is J4Y-71993R!

I think that when Nikolia helped Leo it showed that he cared for people and if Nikolia had not stopped to help Leo dig the whole book would never have happened and then he wouldn't have gotten answers to his thre questions. If he hadn't helped the Panda might have died and the child might have gotten lost and never found. If he hadn't gone to help the Panda then he never would have known tht he had to help find the child and if he hadn't found the child he would't have foudn the answer to his question. When the author says the last line of the story when he says "That is why we are here,: I think he meant that if we didn't have the answer to these questions then there would be fighting and there wouldn't be a human race and we wouldn't be here. The answer to these three questions is what keeps the human race going because if we didn't know the answers because the answers are what kept us on the earth. Humans can't always get along but with those answers it will help us be better people because if we're better people we'll become a better world and Nikolai whated to be a better person. I think the illustrations helped tell the story because the illustrations were kind of dark and scary when th Panda got hurt and when he helped the Panda and put the splint on her leg the illustrations got brighter.
I don't get the red kite, but the red kite always told us where Nakolia was because you could basically look up the string and Nikolia would be there. One of the times when I knew was the best time to do something was when two of my friends were in a fight and I had to decide which one to stick up for and it's hard because they were by my side. The reason I knew that was the most important one - actually, it was both of them, but if there are two people by your side you have to do it for both of them.. The right thing I did and I knew it was to stop the fight and that would be doing good for both of them and that way I had the anwers to all the quetions and I ws able to do it for two people and not just one.Nikolia had helped the Panda and she was desperate for her child and he still listened to her and he made sure he saved the child before he went back. If he given up his search for the Panda then the little baby Panda might have died.

the time is right (story

The three Questions

I think that if Nikolai didn't help Leo, Nikolai's questions would't have been answerd.
I think the illustraitions helped me because of the way the illustraiter used the color and angle's.
I think the last line in the story means that we are all hear for a reason, for example. If Nikolai wasn't digging with leo the panda or the panda's babby probably wouldn't have made it through the storm. If Nikolai hadn't heard the panda the same thing would of hapened. One day I made a decision to ask someone to do a favor for me and I know it was the right time to do something. I also knew that it was the right thing to do because I couldn't do it myself. I knew it was the right person to ask becsuse I could barely trust anybody else.

It's meanful

I've asked the 3questions to myself before, but I couldn't answered it. I think the turtle is wise that he let Nikola find the answer by himself. So that he can always keep the three saying in mind.
When I feel lost and don't know what I have to do next, I'll tell myself the three answers. It can give me a way to think and show what I have to do next.
The book is meanful and I like the panda! They're so cute! I love this book!

YOONS CHRISTMAS

the book is really touching it mad me ccccccccccrrrryyyy becuase her parents wouldn't let celebrate christmas.

hot stuff

why dose he want those Q to be answered?
I think it's because somebody in his family might have questions and that's why he asked the questions, so he can tell his family the answers to these questions.

His family is less fortunate because he did not have good clothes to put on. He was wearing some shorts that had rips and holes in his shorts.

He had an interesting name, like Tikk Tikk Tombo, which is our chior's play and I am in it. It's fun to sing Chinese New Year, especially Tikk Tikk Tombo.

Nikolai and the book

Do you agree with the answers? I think it was a wise thing to do to let the boy Nikolai find out the answers by himself. I also think it was great what Nikolai did for the Pandas. And i'm glad that the baby Panda was not injured. I also think it was brave that Nikolai went agin out into the pouring rain and saved the baby Panda bear.I think the lessons were well learned with hope and mystery.Because you didn't know what the answers to the lessons were untill the end. I'm glad Nikolai got his answers to his questions in a well learned way.I think the turtle sort of played the role of the old wise man. And usally you have to learn from your self instead of the old wise man. And thats just what Nikolai did. I think it was in a well learned way because he learned by himself instead of the old turtle



Happy Chinese New Year,
Friends(A.K.A) Sydney

One Question

I think that Nikolai, instead of asking the three questions could have asked just one, "What should I do?" Even though he was trying to figure out the answer was a good thing, he was being lazy because he was just asking other people to give him the answer instead of trying to figure out the anwer on his own. He could have asked even 100 questions. He could have just figured them out on his own. That's way I think the book was trying to you . . . so you don't have to ask all those questions so you know. Nikolai was doing it for a good reason . . . he wanted to make sure he could do good and no one else would get left out and no one would feel Nikolai wasn't doing good all the time becasue that is what he wanted to do. I thought the friends that were animals were cool . . . the monkey was acting like most monkeys do and the crace, she was trying to make sure he was gentle. With the dog . . I think the dog was trying to include all of his friends because dogs live in packs and always have other dogs around and he wanted Nikolia to have lots of friends. I don't know what the monkey was trying to give him but it might have been compassion. The monkey's answers were like how do you heal the sick and how to pay close attention and he said that because if you pay close attention you know who is being left out . I also think he wanted make sure he was having fun because when Nikolai asked the qusetion, What is the right thing to do? the crane and dog both put in an answers that fit themselves but the themonkey had one that can fit anybody because in his it was having fun all the time. I just now noticed that every time you see Nikolai he has a bright red kit that is on the cover and sometimes when you can't see the kite you can still see the red string and when he starts to go back home and both of the pandas have good home you see that he has his kite again. I didn't think the kite was important to the story but it was just a cool thing popping up in the illustrations. I think that the turtles answers to the questions were the best because he gave answers that everyone can use and I think they had a whole lot of meaning and basically the whole idea through all the questions is what you do now. They are all kind of saying that what you do then and now is different because what's happening now is probably never going to happen the same way again and what happened in the past can be important like if one of your famly members die that doesn't mean you have to forget them but you kind of need to forget the parts that aren't important because if you live in the past you will miss opportunties that you probably won't get again. And because if you are living in the past things are going to pass you by and you're not going to realize and and what the turtle said about the most important time is beoing now and I agree with that because he is actually right about that. The most important time is now.

the three questions

nikolia will not leave people alone about his questions.why doesnt he just move on with his life.i cant believe he has animal friends.thats weird! nikolai is very generous when he saved them pandas.i bet it took alot of strenght to carry that big panda!all the way to that house! i have 1 questions for the author.why are animals nikolai's friends?

The Tree Questions

I think Nikolai had asked the three questions because he was in deep thought.
I think that if the Panda bear didn't cry for help Nikolai probably wouldn't have had his questions answerd. I also think that Nikolai was also helping the turtle because he was
bored. I think the best time to do things is when you think something is best. I think Nikolai's friends (the animals) were all trying to make Nikolai choose and say "Who is better?". I think the turtle was thinking that if he waited, Nikolai would answer his own questions. I think the most important one in the story is Nikolai because he is always thoughtful. I think what Nikolai did was the right thing to do. I also think that Nikolai is the person who makes the disicion's for everyone in the group. Nikolai probably made his three questions because he wanted to figure out the three thing's that are bothering him and he wanted to know. I think Nikolai was trying to find out how to figure things out on his own but he dicided he needed help.
