A Painting Just Like Home

Lisa wasn’t so happy when the bell went for break. At her old school， she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school， but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes， Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here.

When clearing her table， Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground， Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli， a traditional Indian decoration， and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times.

Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals （花瓣） and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty，” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric， a boy in her class， was watching her. “It’s called rangoli，” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has patterns like that，” Eric said.

“What do you mean？” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk，” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s， but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles， and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too.

“What are you guys doing？” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that they hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey，” Emma said， sitting down beside them， “that looks like the rugs （小地毯） in my house. Except on the rugs， the shapes are bigger and flatter.”

“Show us，” said Eric， handing Emma a piece of chalk.

Hearing the teacher’s praise， many students gathered around.

In high school， I was an editor of the school newspaper at the Student Union. And I won two national awards. I’ve been so focused on my dream of being a magazine editor that I’ve never wasted my time being fake-friendly to people—I was too busy for that. I almost didn’t socialize much in school， which meant I almost didn’t have any real friends in school. Unexpectedly， that annoyed a lot of people out of my expectation， so they began to talk about me behind my back. The gossip （流言蜚語） never bothered me since I was so into my goals and had no time to care much. But then I appeared on TV， and things changed.

When the show first broadcast last May， I received dozens of mean posts about me on the media sites， calling me “crazy”， and even some dirty words were used. Worse still， some strangers shot their fingers at me. How could they say such terrible words to me when they’d never met me？ I still tried to focus on my work and told myself not to care about this， but that didn’t stop their comments from streaming in. Every day， messy messages continued to come in and it seemed no sign of end.

When I walked into class on a Monday morning， some girls actually pointed and whispered that I broke down the TV program. I wish I could have faced all negative things calmly or even ignore the gossip， but I couldn’t. Each time I went out of or into the classroom， there would be people I knew or total strangers， staring at me or whispering， only adding to my sense of shame， and I just wasn’t able to shake any of it off. All the negative attention started to overwhelm （壓倒） me physically and mentally.

Soon after， all the negative words started to destroy me.

I saw a quote in the journal. “Once you choose your way of life， be brave to stick it out and never return.”

When I’m driving alone， my thoughts bring me back to my teenage years. My memory is foggy as to whether I was sixteen or seventeen years old that sunny autumn Saturday. But the memory is crystal clear when I think of that cold morning. Dad and I were driving to town when we met a squirrel （松鼠）， which left a deep impact on my life.

That morning， I was sitting next to Dad， daydreaming as I stared out of the window and singing along with the music on the radio. I’m sure it was a piece of hippie music my dad didn’t approve of. Considering it “one of those loud hippie songs”， he complained that I should turn it off. My dad was a strong man I loved and feared. I did what he told me and knew there was no back talk， ever. He was a strict and impatient man， but when he laughed， it sounded like a fiery volcano， with loud and explosive sounds coming from the bottom of his belly. There was nothing quiet about Dad.

We were approaching the crossroad of two side streets in this typical Chicago neighborhood. There was a park on our left side， with slides emptied at this hour. In front of a local bar were brownish-green lawns （草坪） between gray city strips. The Tavern Bar served great lunches all week to the factory workers and I thought， how strange， no pizzas or burgers were coming from there. The streets were so unusually empty. That was why I was surprised when Dad suddenly tried to stop his car as we were turning left.

We weren’t going fast at all， so I was puzzled at his strange reaction. Nothing was in sight. I stopped singing， sat upright， and looked around for a clue as to what he was doing.

From that moment on， all I could do was observe.

Then， carrying the squirrel， we drove to the nearest animal hospital.

On a winter morning， we piled into our car and headed out to the county kennel （養(yǎng)狗場(chǎng)）. We were going to get a dog. I pressed my nose against the car window and wondered what he would be like. Would he shake hands， roll over and run after little animals in the woods？

As our family walked into the kennel， among the chaos and noise， silence caught my eyes. He was sitting quietly and confidently in a corner cage. When I approached， he lifted one of his feet between the bars， and I touched it carefully. A handwritten sign at the top of his cage read， “Shepherd （牧羊犬）”. Ten minutes later， he was sitting in the back seat of our car.

“His name is Fritz，” my mother announced that night as we put a dog collar around his neck with our phone number and his name on it. Fritz adjusted quickly to life in his new home. Whenever guests arrived， he would run out to greet them. When we took our afternoon walks， he was a cheerful companion. The highlight of his day was when I came back， racing through the front door after school. He would slide through the entryway （玄關(guān)） and then jump into my arms as if he had just won a great prize.

One Friday afternoon， my father said that we were going out for the night. Each year we took a journey across the mountains to his hometown of Knoxville， Kentucky， for a day of sightseeing. As we loaded up the car， my father told me that the hotel where we would be staying did not allow dogs in. Therefore， Fritz wasn’t going with us.

As our car pulled away， Fritz watched from the edge of the yard with his tail waving quickly， as if to say， “Why are you leaving me alone？” Anyway， we set out. The next day when we came back home， it was already 6 pm.

Night fell but there was no sign of Fritz.

Two weeks later， a call from a man brought us the great news.

“Yeah， a BATTLE！” said William， pulling my arm. “You see that， John？”

I looked up from my desk to see Ms Chow writing on the board， “Battle of the Books！” She smiled and then said， “Are you ready to go into the battle？ Get prepared for it next week！”

“Is it a reading contest？” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.

“Good question， John！” said Ms Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books， but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month， you will get a prize！”

Even though the prize was something silly， that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately， saying， “Shall we be teammates？”

“Yes， for sure！” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books， so we could set a goal together.

The bell rang before Ms Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates？” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super fast in both English and Spanish！ If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries， she could help the team for sure.

“Yeah， of course！” William and I nodded. I had my team！ The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately， trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then， I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.

“John， let’s be teammates！” Tom said to me excitedly.

Hearing what Lily said， we agreed with her suggestion.

Caught in “the Web”！

Dave and Kelly loved their computer. Their parents got it for them a couple of months ago， and they had taught their kids how to use it. They bought some computer games for the kids to play and connected the computer to the Internet. The kids loved surfing the Internet and visiting websites. They got to do research for their homework， play games， print coloring pages and read stories. They also got to email their friends and even chat with other kids， after getting their parents’ permission.

Because the kids liked the Internet so much， they would finish their homework， and then go to surf the Internet. Very often， they didn’t feel the passage of time and found themselves almost falling asleep in front of the computer screen.

One day they stayed up late surfing the Internet after they were done with their homework. They watched a video about a science fiction story， which described two alien species hunting human information， because aliens had a wicked intention to take control of the Earth by force. The species coming from a distance tried to collect every aspect of data about humans， but in vain. They were detected and driven away by watchful humans. After a while they started getting tired and they were almost falling asleep. While they were between being asleep and being awake before sunrise， they felt strong power coming from the computer screen. It felt like a huge electrical cleaner！

By now， they were fully awake， but when they looked around， they did not see their living room anymore. Instead， they were drawn into the computer itself by that mysterious power. They were surrounded by a complex system of tubes and small boxes and columns. They were all in different shapes， such as being tall， short， wide， narrow， round， square， etc. More strangely， they all felt a little warm and some even were shining with real， blue or orange light. They saw themselves floating in a long tube with a large amount of speeding alphabets， numbers， images and sounds. They were INSIDE the computer！

Their dream came true and they decided to relax and move slowly along the long tubes and have some fun.

But after a few days they started missing something and that was the feel of love.
