White Center neighbor Saturday were struglling to come to terms with the shooting death of a man. He was Craig Hoffman, 46, a man was known as pleasant, hard-working, and a devoted father. Craig Hoffman was shot at a bouquet of flowers was placed near jupiper bushes close to the streer in front of his home in the 11000 block of 14th Ave SouthWest.
Police said that he was shot after he apparently foung three teenage boys breaking into his house. Craig Hoffman was well-known by some neighbors live near his house because of his kindness. He had helped his neighbor when they got troubles such as he had painted the garage for his neighbor, brought some wood and fixed a plumbing problem for Erin Charles, 38, who has lived next door his house for a year. Craig Hoffman was really good with kids, too.
John Urpuhart, King County sheriff's spokesman said they had arrested two 14-year-old and one 15-year-old on Friday afternoon. They believed that Hoffman was shot by 15-year-old.
My personal response
In my opinion, I think Hoffman was so poor. He really a good man that all of his neighbors loved him very much. He is not worth been died like that. And the guy who had been believed had shot Haffman must be punished by the law of the goverment. I also recommend everybody should careful when they live inside or outside their house. Always take a look and take care yourself when you come in or go out your house because who know that your house is looked at by some thiefs or some stranger. So be carefull with yourself is a best choice for your safe. "Life too short, so let enjoy it because who know when you die???"

Harry Potter
and the sorcere's stone

J.K. Rowling

Summarization
The story about Harry Potter, the hero of the witchcraft world started in the Muggle family.The Dursleys were the only relatives of Harry in the world, Mrs. Dursley was the sister of Harry's mom. Unfortunately,the members of this family didn't want to have any relationship with the sorcerers or the magic.Harry had to live with them in 10 years and he was treated very bad.The Dursley didn't tell Harrry any things about his parents and the magic. Until 1 day, a letter was sent to Harry, but he wasn't allowed to read it. Mr. Dudley brought Harry run away from the letters. In the eleven birthday of Harry, a giant man named Hagrid enter the broken-down house, where Harry and the Dursley stayed overnight. He brougt to Harry a letter which he couln't read the previous days.This was the letter from Hogwarts school of Witchcrafts and Wizardry, which invited Harry to attend the course for the Wizards.Harry was very surprised about that, so Hagrid ,was knowed as the Keeper of Keys at Hogwarts, told him all the story about his parents who were killl by the worst wizard Voldemort and the magic world. The day after, Hagrid took Harry to the sorcerers' market to buy some magical things for his study.Harry was interested in the magic tools,the bank Gringott of the sorcerers in this market and his new owl Hedwitt, the birthday present from Hagrid.
Harry started the trip to Hogwarts at the platform nine and three-quarters on September 1st. When he was nervous about how to get on the train, he met the Wealeys.They reconized Harry by the lightning scar on his forehead. With the help of the Weasleys, Harry got into the platform and sat in the same compartment and they became friend.
My opinion:
With me, this is the most interesting story on the world . I love the stories about the magic,the wizards.I usually don't read the long story without the images, but this book changes my mind.The first time I read this book, I was attracted by the way Ms.Rowling has write about the Dursleys, the strange family.Ms. Rowling built the character Harry Potter like a young hero, that is suitable with the imagination of the teenagers.
I read this book in my own language before, this is the 2nd time I read it, but I don't feel bored. In this 2nd time,I can imagine exactly what the writer wrote about,although there are some new words for me.
I'm on page 105,I can understand 70% but it is very difficult when I read the dialogue of Hagrid and there are some words belongs to the magic like Muggles.Anyway, I always love this book.

My personal response:
Simpson and Prody were the most stranger couple on the world.They love toghether by the charges. I don't know why they don't be jail and continue their love with many troubles.Kidnaping and using marijuana are the serious crimes.
