1.One of the problems is that they dont have food and they are hungry.another problem is that the wolf dog would not eat what Tao would not eat what he was giving him but he didn't know why.

2.The resolution will probably be that they will eventually get food.The resolution for the other problem is probably gonna be that Tao is gonna find out what the wofl dog's problem is and he will be able to eat.

Chapter 2.
===1.The two important events are that Toa is dreaming of drawing cave paintings on the cave walls but it is taboo in the Clan so he cant do it.Another very important thing that happends is that Tao tries to catch some kind of fish so that he can eat.===

Chapter 8
==If there was a girl who wanted to be a famous author,but her parents want her to be a children's doctor,i think she should be a writer if thats really what she wants to do with her life.She should not let anybody tell her what to do with he life not even her parents.If she really loved writing then she would do it for herself.Not her friends nor her family should tell her what to do with her life even if it was "taboo".==

Chapter 9
==//I think that graybeardchanged his mind because when he was younger he wanted to be a cave painter too but people didn't let him.Hedidn't want Tao to experience that because Graybeard knows what that feels like and it's not the greatest feeling.he knows how good it felt good when he followed his dream and became a cave painter and he wanted Tao to feel the same thing.//==

chapter 11
1.) I guess he is an alright teacher because he knows he knows how to teach well.The first time he told Tao step be step so he will know how.But he is not a good teacher because he is very strict with Tao.He thinks Tao is gonna be perfect because thats how he is trying to teach him.Graybeard is trying to teach Tao alot at the same time.

2.) No,because in the story they make him seem very mean.Another reason that i would not want him as a teacher is because art is fun and he makes it not fun because he wants it to be perfect and that ruins it.He is very strict

=Confucianism= = = =Rivera,Yvonne= June 11, 2007 PERIOD 2/3 Confucianism

THE BEGINNING OF CONFUCIANISM: Confucianism started when the teacher Confucius became ruler of China. It all started

when he sent three people to study 3 philosophies. He sent them to study them and he

would choose which rules for his people of China to live by. The three things he sent

them to study were: Confucianism,Daoism,and Legalism. These were all different ways of living. THE TEACHER CONFUCIUS:

Confucius was ruler of China after king Wu. He was born in 551 b.c.e. in the

feuded state of China, the state of Lu. His real name was Kongfuzi, but the westerners

called him Confucius.He lived there during the Chou dynasty. He lived from 551b.c.e. to

479 b.c.e Confucius believed that

there where 5 different important relationships. Those were 1.Ruler to ruled 2.Father to son 3.older brother to younger 4.husband to wife and 5.friend to friend He made sure that they followed these relationships and always respected them. One of

his rules was that they ALWAYS have to respect their elders.

He believed that the rule above on the list was ALWAYS more important, he would

always put them in order of importance and never in random order. Today the rules he

wrote are divided into 2 sections: “king” (classics) and “Shuh” (books)

His goal was to teach the people was to live in a peaceful society. He believed that if he

wanted to follow his rules he had to set examples. He always believed that not only do

his people have to follow his rules, but he had to follow his rules also.

In return they had to set a good example as if they were a ruler. Those people

are parents or older siblings. Confucius told this to his people “Do not do others what

you what not like done to you.” This is like the “golden rule” which basically says to

do what you would like other people to do to you and say what you would like other

people to say to you. This was the way he wanted his people to live by.

Before his death he attracted many students and taught them about

Confucianism. When he died all the students that he taught followed what he said and

later added new rules to what he believed in. Later they wrote a book about his teachings

called “The Analects”. Later on scholars wrote more about Confucianism.

When there was a later dynasty. Confucianism effected it greatly. Some of the rules remained the same. The people who chose to keep some of the rules. The people who worked on
