I think this book is interesting and I want to be them because they can travel to the past and they can know more about the Dragon King. If I were them, I would take somethings back and show to people. Then people can know more about the Dragon King.

I consider that the action of the king is unacceptsble.I do not agree with his point which is everyone should obey him and burnt all the books.It is beacuse I think books bring knowledge to us.So,I think Jack and Annie did the right things.They help to save the books and help the people have a peaceful China.Besides,if there are some people criticize the king,China will be better than now.

I think the Dragon King was very selfish because he always feared that people would cleverer than him and menaced his power. If I were Jack or Annie, I would stop the Dragon King from doing such a silly thing. If he forbad free thinking and burnt the books, people would have no chance to receive knowledge and became uneducated. Therefore, no one would help him to rule the country and China would soon become an uncivilized country.

The Dragon King was very cruel and selfish. He brunt all the books without asking others' opinion. If i were Jack or Annie, I would stop the Dragon King and told him the importance of the books because books were things that we needed to treasure. We learn things from books.

If I were Jack or Annie, I would stop the Dragon King burning the books and tell him that books are very important in people’s lives because there are many different messages inside the books, such as the way of cure, the way of farm, which can improve people’s lives. If the Dragon King burns all the books, people will not have the chance to learn more different things to improve their lives. Therefore, the country will become poorer and poorer as the people do not know how to work. Since the people are poorer, they also may overthrow the Dragon King.

If I were Jack and Annie, I must stop the kind of burning the book.
Because I think book is important things to people no matter in the past, now or future. If Dragon King burn the book, the people can’t studying and they don’t know everything in the world. Also if there are no anyone know knowledge, no one can help the dragon king to rule the city. It must effect economies. Book has lots of good and health thing in it, it also brings good information and massage to us. If we don’t have book in the past or now, the people will not be smart like that and the community will not develop as well as now, it may continue to currupt.

If I were Jack or Annie, I would stop the kind burning the books. First, I would tell the king that I come from the future and learn him from the Chinese History, and then told him that people in the future hate him very much because of burning books, soon he will be defeated. (I think he would be very afraid.) Therefore he should not burn the books. Lastly I would tell him that he should care of his people and make people have more freedom if he wants to be a good king.

If I were Jack or Annie, I would stop the Dragon King burning the books. I would tell the King that books are very important to people's life. Books contain a lot of good message. Peope can learning from the books therefore improve their life. If all the books were burnt, the country would not be improved as fast as other countries. Also, people would think that the king was not suitable to rule their country because he stopped them from learning. There may be insurrection.

If I were Jack or Annie , I would say to the king about my feeling of this action and told him the advantages and disadvantage of this montion.I would say to him like that "My master , if you continue to burn all these books , your subjects may think that you are tyrannical and you want to control their thinking .Afterward , they may angry with you and rebel against you. Then , your dynasty will be soon disappear. If you don't want this to be happen , please stop burning all the book . Also,there are no advantages of this action. But think about it , if you stop burning all these books , your people may think that you are an good emperor ,they will respect you much more than before and you are also powerful than before.In addition , these books which you are burning are about the medical science , planting and some useful things . Those books will help your later generations' development on different sector and have a large progress even greater than the Western part. If you don't stop burning all these books , then your later generations would not have such a progress and you don't have this honor for your later generations to remember you! Please make a good choice , my master." After I finish my opinion , I think the king will change his mind and stop burning all the books.

If I see the Dragon King burning all the books,of course I will stop him quickly because books are very useful. Why books are useful? It is because books can provide us many many right knowledge and others infornation, there is also a sentance called in Chinese which is mean knowledge can change our destiny, so books are very important for humans. If I were Annie, I would say to the king that the books are how necessary for life, if there is no books and no knowledge, there will be many disadvantages, it will also harm the economic too.If he do not burn the books, China may be become more and more famous in the future.

If I were Annie, I would say to the King that books are very important because many teacher, people's knowledga are come from books and many history are mark, wrote into the book.So it can't burns the books.

IF I were JAck or Annie,I would shout "STOP" to the king. Then I would use fire extinguisher to put out fire and put the books in a safe place. After that, I would tell him the books how important to the people. People can enhance their knowledge form books. After reading the books, people have their idea, they can invent some useful things by themselves.Also,I would encourage him to read more books.It is because in the past people recorded history in the books. Therefor, he can learn how to become a better king to control his country after reading the books. At last, books are very important in our lives, so we cant without books.

If I were Jack or Annie,I would tell the king not to destroy the books since people can get knowledge from books.Also,people can exchange their ideas and culture through books so books are very important to everyone of us.If people did not read any books,they can not some extra imformation.Books can help us to jot down the information so people can read that again if they forgot about it.

If I were Annie and Jack, I would stop the Dragon King from burning the books. First, I would go and take away the books beside the fire. After that, I would take some water and put out the fire. Then, I would explain to him that how important the books are. People can learn a lot of things from books, knowledge is from reading books, through reading books, we have knowledge, which the state of the society would higher.
This can help treating with other countries, so we can earn more money. People can have better life. And I would told him to look farther, don’t just focus on now. So that China’s future would brighter.

If I can see the Dragon King burning all the books, i would go and take a water pipe and rescue the books, and tell him that books is a treasure to people.
Books bring people into a world that is full of imagination.Through reading books, people will forget the unhappy things.
I would tell the king that the author who wrote the books had put a lot of time and their knowledgr into the books, so as to give their knowledge to peple. The king insult the author. He is also insulting himself. When there were no more books, people can't learn, the neighbour country would try to take some jokes on him, when people don't know how to read, there will be lots of people do some illigel things too.

If I were one of them in the the story , I would let Dragon King know that books are important to the people,so that he won't burn the books.Books are important and useful in our daily life because books give us information and we need to absorb the knowledge from the books.In the books,there are a lot of experience of th eolder people, it would help our life become more smoothly and we won't make the same mistake easily.And the books often give us a lot of ideas,we can improve our life,make it more comfortable.We can enjoy more in our life.Also,the education of the people also very important,it will affect the country's develpment.So,books are important to people,and even the country.Books are our treasure.

If I were one of them, I would tell the Dragon King the importance of books,in order to stop burning the books. As books are very useful and importat to our daily lives.Why do I say that? It's because many of our new technologies are not only came from scientists' hard works, behind their hard works,they have studied very hard from many other books,they studied the people past experiences,why did they success or not.If the people had successed,scientists will try to make the things better.And if the people had not success,scientists will try to improve the loopholes.Therefore,many new technologies are born.Also,if there are no books in our life,we cannot learn new knowledge and skills from the books,it will lower our education level.
In conclusions,books are not only important in our life,it is also very important to raise our national statue.Books are important to our daily life,society and our countries,if we don't have books,we cannot get risk of our life.

If I were Annie, I would tell the Dragon King to stop burning the books since books are very important to our daily life : people can learn knowledge and skills from books which can help themselves to be intellectual. They are not only useful for themselves, but also useful to society. The books can help them to improve their living standard and the betterment of the society.

If I can see the Dragon King burning all the books, I would stop him because if he burns all the books, we can't learn the things inside the books.Books are very important in our life,it could let people know what things are correct. If i were Annie, I would tell the Dragon King that books are the precious thing in the world, he can't destroy them. And also, books can help us to build a better life and enviroment for us.

If I can see, the Dragon of the King burns all the books. I would stop him immediately. It’s because books are just like a teacher that can remind us, like let us know what is right or wrong; like a truth teller, and let us know the facts of everything around us; like a buffoon, and make us happy. If I were Annie, I would say to the King that books are one part of our life, because it can beautify our life and make our life to be meaningful. Also, it can solve lots of problems when you suffered.
Phoebe 2006-08-04
