　The journal continues with RJ-1.The story keeps telling about Edward's youth life about studying in college,falling in love,and fight for what he desirably wants.
　In the part called"the Day he Left Ashland",everyone lives in Ashland who wants to leave this town must pass through the little town with no name.But what makes this no-name town so special is that there's a dog,a fate dog.If you want to leave this town and come to this town,the dog will decide whether you can go out or not.If you can't,it will bite off one of your fingers or more.And once you've been bite the fingers,no matter how hard you try,you will never walk out of this town.And Edward is so different for the others that he was allowed to leave the town to fullfill his dreams,by the dog.In the other part called"the Old Lady and the Eye",it tells about an old lady has a fake eye made of glass.And everynight,the old lady will take out the eye clean and put in a box.But in Edward's college,there's a rumor about the eye,someone says that if you see through this eye and you will see your future,the future of when you're gonna die.One day,a gang of youths came and stole the eye.Because the old lady have helped Edward before,in order to thank her,Edward promises that he will find the eye.
　The two parts above impressed me so much.'Cause it combines a real world with a little fairy tale,maybe that are not so real.But it tries to convey the concept about Edward's characristics-his brave,his promise,his wit,etc.

　I've read two thirds of this book.After submitting the RJ-1,I was to read this whole book before the RJ-2.But I fail.In past two week,I tried to manage my time well.Obviously,in this part,I've a lot to learn.Learning how to manage time is so important in our lives.I will learn the lesson and correct my mistakes.Hope I'll do it better and better.
