The thing really influence me is a online game called 梦幻西游. It’s a really
nice game. It’s mostly about Chinese history. I play this game all my friends play it, then we can chat online, play together, we can study Chinses history too. The character is really beautiful and the background is beautiful too. Now I am at America, I can’t see my friend no more. But I
can still talk to them in the game. So I am not bored anymore. The game influence me a lot.

In my life, many books had lots of influence. Especially writer Wan-seo Park and Chang-in Jo’s books gave me strong impressions. Before I read their books, I wanted to be a writer, but I didn’t make a plan or think about it exactly. So they gave me a way to good dream and how to try it. I want to be a writer such as them. Their books feel very familiar to the people. I really interested that to found the common things with me. I think these genre’s books will be more good and interest to many people more than others. When I occur to the best books which I read, I usually chose them. They gave me a interest to the books and helped to wanted to be a writer.

I think that many books and poems that I read before, and songs that I like and I hear whenever I want influence in my life. Because they talk about things that can happen some day to me or to someone that I know. Or others song that talk about how are we different and why we are different only because we don’t do many things like other people because we don’t want to. In Mexico, when I was in junior high, one of my friends was always writing poems about her life, the school and me and the rest of our/my friends. her poems are very good. She always gave the poems that she writed and I always read them because they talked about things that she saw in me and other friend, and sometimes we fount things that we didn’t know or thinked before about us. And that was really interesting to me. Listen to music, read poems and read books is something that helps to know ourselfs or eachother more .

what’s a influence? I think the influence are diferents typs of influence like the books and the friends what a some person have for example my brother junior is good son and a good brother because he helps my mother every day in the house but when si go to the “secundaria” what here is the junior high he change alot like in the form of talk and his clothes and some things more but my mom start to have problems with my brother because he was a little rebelde because his friend are crazy people his friends smoke old the time and my brother comes to smoke to and when I sew that I’m said oh my god I can’t belive what my brother smoke when my brother look me because I’m watch him and he comes with me and he said don’t said nothing to my mom please and I said ok and don’t like his friends of my brother tese day I ;m very angry with him because is impresionant see at one of your brothers smoke that’s what I think is the influence in the friends and the book I think somes books has alittle influence like somes persons in his/her book talk about true histories because they talk about accidents and when some people died for the drugs and the books has influence because when you read the book I can’t belive and the book always said be careful and yes I think the books has influence in our world and our lifes but the bad influence is not goog always you need know what type of friends you have and never change because is bad for you future family and this affected your life and the of your family!!! BE CAREFUL!!!

I think I found interesting and have had some influence at the many song. But especially, Epik high’s song gave me impression. I like Epik high who is Korean singer. At first I listen their songs I thought they are different to another musicion. They have great thoughts and they express them in the their songs. My favorite their song is Still life. This song said to us that don’t give up your life and gave courage. Epik high always said world peace to people and they hope it and they make song about this. Their song isn’t for only money. Although some people hate them they don’t care about and they do their best in their music. They express them and their thought through their songs and I am interested in their songs and I l
have influence their thought.

A homeless bird speeding through light and dark
from one unknown shore to yet another.
On cosmic wings a refrain echoes through space:
`Not here, no, but somewhere, somewhere else!’
In Gloria Whelan’s ”Homeless Bird”, Koly’s story became to another poem.Homeless Bird is a story of poor, which contain many poor and hopeless episodes. In life of the poor there are more sedateness and poetry. Author use most concise and frugal words to narrate. All these are like drops of water gather into brook and flow into ocean.

The thing that I found interesting and that has had some influence in
your life is definitely not a book pr a poem because I do not really like
to read those kind of things, so now I have to choices, a chose a
song. There was a song that came out about 2002-2003 in Thailand
and it kind of like very hot and kind of like almost everybody listen
to that song at that time. The song is about two people that are very
best friend to each other, one is a guy and another is a girl, and in
that situation a girl just fells in love with her best friend that not
suppose to happend and she just scare to say that because if she
does that, she worry that they will not be best friend to each other no
more and what if the guy does not like the way from best friend to be
his lover, the only thing that she could done at that time is keep it
as a secret, that is a kind of situation that i have been through in
Thailand, its kind of hard to save it and not to show on any part of
my body especially my face. This is my thing that i found interesting
and that has had some influence in your life with.

Something big which is really make some positive influences for me is when my elder brother passed away 7 years ago. He’s sick because some viruses which is attack his brain and this viruses made him paralyzed (his left body) and it’s really made us very sad because we know he’s suffered coz this disease. My family keep on prayed that God The Almighty gave him the best way.We don’t want see him painfull. And on that friday he passed away beside my parents who always stay beside him until he died.
His age is 25 years old. My mother always said that her children are belong God,if God want take her child, she have to be patience. And this statement making me more love my parents

There may be a lot of things,leaving an on influnce on people.Sometimes a book,a song,sometimes a nice smell,or maybe a taste.The songs ‘googbye my lover by james blunt and power of love by celie dion will have a lasting effect on me.They are not just about love ,using the love as a symbol,they tell me there is nothing impossible,When you have commintment in yourself,determination and ambition you can always achive in life.Love was one of them for me:)My relationship with my boyfriend started in a way taht seemed too far away,but it has been contiuning for more than one year
so again ,there in nothing impossible!!
