Final blog♪

At beginning of this semester, I think this class is too difficult for me to learn Writing. Because I'm not good at to use a computter and I'm a student belong to a subject of East Asia. But!! When I wrote and watched a first blog on computer, I'm really glad. And then I enjoy typing. Especially, I really enjoyed blogging when I wrote about movies!! I like to write about movies and books. So, I enjoyed blogging. And I think, I maybe became faster at writing. Now, I enjoyed this class, and writing, reading and blogging!! v(^ー^) ☆

BOOK REVIEW 17

I read a book “GRADIATOR”. It's a long and exciting story. Maximus is strong, but he could not protect his family and he was become a gradiator. He was so sad but he deside to fight Commodus. Commodus is a prince of Rome, and he is cruelly and mean person. In the fight, Commodus was not fair. he hurt Maximus's body before the fight. But finally, Maximus won!! He was the real strong man, and he went a place where his wife and son are laughing.
I enjoyed this story.

ASSIGNMENT 6

During a winter vecation, I and my friends made a funny, nice plan. It's to watch 10 movies during 2days of a weekend. Ofcouse without sleep!! (^-^;)
And the weekend comimg!! last night, my friends came my home. And now, we have finished watching 10 DVDs!! Among 10 movies, are a horror and 2 comedys of Japan, 3 romances of Korea, 3 movies of American and... a british movie. This UK movie is really great!! I was exiting and moved my mind!! So, now I introduce about it☆

The movie's title is “V for Venddeta”. It's a simply introduction.→ In the not too distant future, Britain is filled with torture cells, unfair punishments, prejudice against minorities. However in the mist of all this chaos, one man known only by the name V dares to stand up to the government and is labeled as a terrorist. One night V rescues a mild young woman called Evey Hammond and an unlikely bond between the two emerges which results with Evey becoming Vs ally. But though V may be charismatic and have a passion for justice he also is bitter and has his own personal hatred of the government for something they did to him long ago. As November the 5th, the day V says he and those who will follow him will stand up to the government once and for all approaches, Detective Finch becomes more and more determined to uncover the truth about V, however his search leads him to ask to question whether or not he is on the right side.

I like “V”'s talks and behaviors. He is a dangerous man but, is a gentleman. Hugo Weaving perform as “V”, and Natalie Portman performs as Evey. Their performances are very good!! Natalie cuts her hair off and become a bold head in the movie! I was surprised! She is really beautiful enough without beautiful hair. I like them.

And I like sounds in the movie too!! “1812” is particularly great!! I like this overtyre of Tchaicovsky very much due to perform a concert when I was a junior high school student. We played this music by wind music orchestra. However, it is a full orchestra by an official concert, and it is played with cannons. The overture begins for a holy small melody, and the finish is dinamic and magnificent!! I want to go a concert is played thid overture someday...

It's very interestingmovie. It's really british movie. For example, some words of William Shakespeare are quoted in the movie. The stage looks like George Orwell's novel “1984”. And in the story, happened looks like Guy fawkes Day, Gunpower Plot. In fact, I don't know about these things enough to explain, but I could enjoy this movie. I really recommend it!! (^▽^)

BOOK REVIEW 16

I read a book “HULK”. It's a scare story. And I thought Bruce's father is a bad man.

BOOK REVIEW 15

During winter vercation, I read a book “BOOTLEG”. It's my favorite book!! This book was written by Alex Shearer. I think he is a greatest writer. I like his books. And I really like this story!!!

The story was drawn a adventure of a two boys. Somewhere of the world, a country desided “NO MORE CHOCOLATE!!” because the reader thinks that chokolates are not healthy and give bad effect for children. But!! the two boys, Smudger and Huntly, discover an overlooked stock of cocoa and sugar, their secret chocolate-making business takes off fast. They do BOOTLEG!!

I love chocolate like Smudger and Huntly. So, I really understood their minds. I always get excited or get joy with them. It's a best book for people that likes chocolate. If you finish reading the book, you certainly feel that I want to eat chocolate!!
I recommend this book☆ And I really like the onother his book “The Great Blue Yonder”, “The Stolen”, “Sea Legs”and so on. I recommend them too!!
