TECHNIDEA
Once upon a time , there was a big company called “ Technidea ”. This company was very rich and successful . But this success didn ’ t take long . In September , they made a big mistake and then it caused a big problem . The company was in trouble . They needed more intellectual people and made an advertisement for this problem . But they didn ’ t find any intellectual people . They were hopeless . For one week , the CEO of the company organized meetings everyday and repeated Nelson Mandela ’ s quote “ I never lose . I either win or learn .” Two days later , one boy saw the advertisement that they made . He took the advertisement and called the number , which was on the ad , 08973784232 . The secretary answered the phone . He was excited . So he stammered while answering the secretary ’ s questions . The secretary told him to come the following day . He wore his most beautiful suit and went to the company . When he arrived , their CEO was waiting for him . He was confident but he could stammer if he couldn ’ t handle his feelings .

STONE FOX READING RESPONSE
This semester I read chapter 10 of Stone Fox . This was the most exciting chapter yet ! In the beginning of the chapter , they were still racing . Searchlight was continuing the race with her such force . Then she had heart burst . She stopped and fell onto snow . Everyone started to run out to little Willy . Stone Fox came too . Put his hand on Searchlight ’ s chest and felt no heart-beat . Then little Willy carried Searchlight , walked the last ten feet and across the finish line . It was distressing ! As I was reading , I had some thoughts about the events in the chapter . When Stone Fox came out to Willy on page 80 , I was so surprised . I think Stone Fox did a good behavior , while the race was continuing . Because nearly , everyone wants to win the race . I think Stone Fox came out to Willy because he really believed that little Willy will win because he did his best to won the race . I also had a connection to this part in the book . Once , in playground there was a bike race . There was a big child versus a younger child . The younger child started fast but the big child started slowly . Younger child was winning the race but he fell down . The big child came the same spot that younger child fell down and he helped him . He let him won the race . I had some questions as I was reading . On page 83 , it says “... Willy , carrying Searchlight , walked the last ten feet and across the finish line .” Why didn ’ t he think the future ? Because he did everything with his dog , Searchlight . Then Searchlight died . If I were Willy I wouldn ’ t enter the race , I would try to find other ways to pay the taxes . While I reading this chapter , I had some predictions . I predicted that Stone Fox will give up and Willy will win the race , because Willy was continuing the race in the first place and he motivated himself to win the race . My prediction was almost true , Willy won the race but Stone Fox didn ’ t give up , Searchlight had a heart attack and died . I hope the author will write a second book of Stone Fox ! This book is very exciting !
