The Shawshank Redemption

Do you know this movie??



I researched about it on the web page, wikipedia.↓
・The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 drama film, written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the Stephen King novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.
・The film stars Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding.

I found this movie by listening the music of Mr.children.

The title of that song is 'one two three'.

This song tell us not to give up.
I like this song.
Soon, I wanted to watch the movie that was appeared in the word.

However, I didn't watch it because I heard the movie was very heavy in some mean.

Then I was only 16 years old girl, I abondoned watching the mobie...

At last!!

I watched the movie the other day♪

As expected....
The movie is heavy.

However, it was not bad mean!
The theme of this movie is really deep and I cried few times..

The main character of this story was arrested under a false accusation and was under sentence of life imprisonment...

His circumstance was really hopeless and he had a lot of problems in the life in prison.
However, the last scene of this movie was brisk!!!
It was because he did not reject his wish!

I want everyone to watch the movie, so I don't write much about the story.

I can only say that the movie is valuable for our life.

Whenever I depressed, I remember this movie and it cheeers me up.
I thought that the important thing is 'NOT to give up'(。・ω・。)

We have a lot of worries and problems as far as we live...
However, they may turn to wonderful one depends on ourselves, I think.

If I work hard to be myself and try my best for my life,
the life would not be so bad(´;ω;`)

This movie and the song 'one two three' is always in my heart♡

SUBERANAI HANASHI

Did you watchi the TV program, 'Hitoshi Matsumoto no Suberanai Hanashi'??

I watched it!




I really like that program.

I first watched it when I was 3rd grade of senior high school student.

Please let me introduce the program.

That is very simple!

Some Owarai entertainer are appeard and tell their special stories.

The 'special' means that the stories surely lead everybody's lough.

The host of the program, 'Hitoshi Matsumoto' thorow the dice on which every Owarai Geinin's name are written, and then the person whom the dice points have to tell his story.

This is a special TV program, so this is broadcasted twice or three times a week.

SO, always I am really looking for being broadcasted the show(。・ω・。)


My brother was missed to watch it tonight.
He really feel frustrated about that.

So, I tried to tell him one of their stories.


......However, of course that were not interesting(´・ω・`)
I think that 'Owarai Geinin' are specialist of talking...

movies 2

Today, I will introduce one of the movies that I want to watch.

The movie is 'Giniro no season'.


THIS↓




I want to watch it because in which my favorite actor is appeared.

His name is Eita♡
I like him since I was 15 years old.

He is tall.
On the other hand, I am not tall(...rather than very short(´・ω・`))
People is animal that cry for the moon.
So, he is the man of my dreams in some mean(´;ω;`)

Anyway, I am going to watch it in my vacation!!

Then, I want to introduce another movie, that I watched the other day♪

The title of the movie is 'Akarui Mirai'.


This movie is very strange.
The mood of this movie is always dark.
If I express this movie with one color, that is gray.

Look at this↓






This movie has a lot of scene like this.
As you can see, much of them are incomprehensible(´・ω・`)

However, I like this movie because it would give us an opportunity to think about our life. This movie is so difficult that we have to concentrate on that.

Though I like movies that are fust fun movies of course, I thought that the difficult movies are as good as the easy movies.

By the way, I like this movie because of another reason!

Two my favorite actors are appeard in this movie.
They are Odagiri Jyo and Asano Tadanobu♡

Both of them have their own atomosphere.

They are not so young but I am really attracted by them.
They are cool♡

And the music of this movie is also nice!!
The musician is 'The Back Horn'




(Truly, I don't like the song so much... )

Anyway, I like this movie!





Recently, I like watching movies.

I remember that I watched very thoughtful movie!!

I would like to write about that next time(。・ω・。)

YAKINIKU

I went shibuya today(。・ω・。)

I met my friend.

We went Karaoke! We sang alot♪

Though I don't go Karaoke, I sometimes go there with her.

Maybe it was my second time to go Karaoke this year.

I enjoyed singing( ・ิω・ิ)
We sometimes go to live of one band.

So, We of course sang their songs.

After we sang up, we went to Yakiniku restaurant(。・ω・。)!

We talk a lot and I was very happy to go their.

I really thought that Shibuya is good place (much better than Fuchinobe)(´;ω;`)
because I live in next to Shibuya.

I don't like Fuchinobe campas, of course.
The buildings are very clean and there are a lot of nature.

However, it is too far from my house in any case(´;ω;`)
I went all school near my house(its took 20 minutes to go all school)

I became to wake up by myself after I entered university and went to Fuchinobe campas.

My father said to me that I have to use time effectively while I'm riding on the train.
I have more than two hours in the train (round-trip)
So, he adviced me to read books or read books as much as I can.

I sometimes read my textbook in a train, however, I think that I didn't read book so much.
On the other hand, I have listened a lot of music and English listening sound(。・ω・。)


So, I think that my two years was very meaningful for me.

It is about one month to the end of this term.

I want to go school and have a massive life!!

I decided to read books and went to city library yesterday(ゝω・)

I borrowed some books from library.I want to introduce one of the books.

The book was written by Ekuni kaori.
The title is 'Oyogunoni Anzen demo Tekisetsu demo Arimasen'.
I was attracted to this title(。・ω・。)

This book is composed of some short stories.

I read first story.
It was very interesting because this story is about very common to our daily life.

I recommend you to read this book!(Though I have not read all of them yet(´・ω・`))


I will read second story when I go to bed this night.

I think that I am going to finish reading this book, so I want to go liburary again and borrow new books to read them in train♪♪

AP

Look at this movie(。・ω・。)



This is a movie of 'ap bank fes'.

As I wrote before,I like Mr.children.

This is an event that is planed by one of the Mr.children's member:Mr.Sakurai


Many artists perform their music on this stage.

Though there are a lot of music festivals, this event is different from the most of them.


This festival is careful about nature.

In general, we sometimes see a lot of garbages after big event that a lot of people join.


However, with regard to 'ap bank fes', it is known that we can hardly see any garbages after the event!


Truly, I didn't think about nature at all...

However, I became to reflect that what my action effect to our Earth.


I think that it is meaningful thing that famous people like them do action to save earth because a lot of people will inspired.(like me(・ω・)!!)





By the way, please listen to this music.





This is also a movie of 'ap bank fes'.
This song was sung at the end of that event.


I like this song♡

I have an memory about this song.



Two years ago, I graduated high school.

I like my friends, I didn't graduate yet..

I especially like the member of 1st grade class.


They are very kind to me and if I depressed, they always cheered me up.

I really think it is mysterious that they notice my sadness right away.


I was also sad when graduation ceremony was ended.

We went back to our class once and we took photos, talk each other, and do something.

I met my friends and enjoy chatting.


Then we went back to the autitorium and had a graduation event.

It was planned by students and it was very enjoyful for me.

Though I didn't sad while the event was holding, I became really sad when it ended.....


Then, this song was piped in through speakers.


This song says, 'the word of GOOD BYE is very sad, but if I say that, it is a word of LOVE.'


I will never forget the feeling that I had then.


After graduating high school, they are my best friends.

They are precious to me anytime♡


Now, I'll leave home to meet one of the friends(。・ω・。)ノ!!

YESTERDAY

Yesterday, I went to Kyodo because I had a part time job..

Truly, I rest myself from the job for this one month

because I had a lot of things to do(´;ω;`)

While I was in a break, I didn't think about the job at all.


So, I had really difficult(´・ω・`)(´・ω・`)
However, people in my office are all kind to me.

They make the most of children because the job is cram school teacher or the clark,
so everyone likes children and they are very kind♡♡

I really think that the job is good for studying 'society'.
I can speak to a lot of people including children and parents.

In past days, I had a trouble in that office.
One day, one of the chileren's mother called our cram school and I caught the call.

The mother complained about her child's teacher ..
The complaining was continued about half an hour(´;ω;`)

After hanging up the phone, I was near crying.
Then, a principal of our cram school call me and comfort me.
He said, 'Everyone knows that you did nothing bad but there are a lot of unreasonable things. We have to get over the problems..'
And he apologized me that he let me catch the call.

I really pleased the principal's word!!
I want to be a kindness person like the principal.

Now, I have to leave(´・ω・`)(´・ω・`)
。。。because I have a work today too...

CHIYO

I have a dog.
Her name is 'CHIYO'.
It was named for a character in a picture book by mother.

We call her 'Chiyochan'

She has lived with us for ten years.

Though she is old, she is active♪

My mother takes her out twice a day and feeds her everyday.
So chiyo likes mother best of my family!!

Chiyo is very cowardly, when the thunder rolls,
She dashes under a table with her tale lower..

As the proberb goes, she often barks at other dogs while walking or strangers who visit our home.

But she has no bravery to bite them(。・ω・。)

Though she has no bravery, she is kind ♡
When I am depressed, she approaches me and watches me with a concerned look.

It makes me happy.
Chiyo makes the mood of my home good.
She is everything to my family.
We all love Chiyo.

I love it♡

But I don't want you to think I am in fasion..





I have loved it since I was a child.

I waften watched Owarai programs on TV.

When I was a elementary school student, I watched "Onair Battle","YoshimotoShinkigeki","Vocabulatengoku" etc...

These may be the beginning of owarai.

Nowadays more and more owarai TV programs appears.

But many of them are alike and boring.

Owarai geinin who have appeared with the owarai boom is especially boring..

Though I criticize owarai a lot, I hace seldom been to a owarai live show.

No one can say I am an Owarai freak(。・ω・。)

There were many people in Yokohama Station.

Anyway, I was very tired and my foot screamed...

It is sometimes good for me to go shopping alone.

Women has a lot of things to do in the morning(。・ω・。)!

movies

Yesterday,I rented a video and DVDs and watched it with my friends.

They were "last samurai", "Armageddon" and "tagatameni".

The former two movies were very emotional, so, I cried a lot.

"Tagatameni" is not famous and I didn't know it, but my friend wanted to rent it.

She likes Tadanobu Asano very much.He was leading actor of this movie.

We watched it with room light off.
This movie was very serious and dark, so I became dark, too.

how to be a good liar

Man is a social animal and they always communicate with others. There are a lot of lies in the communication behaviors though most people have been taught from early childhood that telling a lie is a bad thing. ‘Lie’ is a conscious act that is different from ignorance or mistake. So, the word ‘liar’ has usually bad image. However, there are various kinds of lies and liars. The website wikipedia says that the ‘lie’ acts as a lubricant between communications . So, not all lies are bad thing. Roughly speaking, telling a lie can be classified into four types. The first category is the lies that the liars necessarily tell. The second type is the lies that are told, regardless of the need. The third one is lies that are told in secretly. The fourth form of lies is opposite of the third, the lies told openly. This paper will research these four ways of telling a lie.


The first category is about necessary lies. It is too difficult to live without telling a lie because the truth hurt others depends on the circumstances. The lies told in such cases are belonging to this group. For example, the doctor sometimes tells his patient that the disease is just a common illness though he is a victim of terminal cancer. If he does not tell a lie, the truth will come as a terrible shock to the sufferer. The doctor tells a lie to avoid hurting the patient. Telling a lie in these cases is sometimes recognized as a correct behavior.



The second type is the lies that are told without thinking about the necessity. For the liars of this group, telling a lie is a kind of their habits. It is good example that the little boy says to his friend that his score of the test higher than the really score.


It is same thing that the woman who bought an imitation bag at a low price says that the bag was a brand-name bag. In this case, the lie is just an insignificant thing and the liar is only a dishonest person. Telling these meaningless lies again and again, the liar is properly lost the trust.

The third group is occurred in secret. Lies of this group often hurt others. When someone notices that he was told a lie, it is the worst moment. Cheating on her husband and flirting with another man is one of the best examples. The husband will be shocked and damaged if he notices his wife’s lies. On the other hand, here is an example of lie that makes others smile though it is in secret. Affecting to forget the friend’s birthday and holding an unexpected party is very happy lie for the person who was told a lie. Lies of this type are always told when there are confidential things. If the secret is kept to please others, the lie will be nice one and if the secret is not to please anyone, of course the lie will be terrible one.


The fourth kind of lies is completely the other way of the third group. The lies are so clear that most people can understand the fact that the lies were made. There are two different example of this category. The magician is the easy example. Magician is a liar who tells this kind of lies. Though the magic always have the trick and, the magicians say, ‘there is no trick to this magic.’ Everyone knows that what he says is the lie but they enjoy the lies as the magic. Next, the lie of the judge in a court is a little difficult example. Because the ‘low’ is very exact and sometimes it is a rigid system for ethics, the lawyer uses the lie skillfully. Saying ‘I don’t remember’ when he do not want to tell a truth is one of the cleverest lies of the layer. In the case of lies that are told publicly, no one can let the liar confess himself as a liar.


Man is an only animal that knows how to tell a lie. To tell the truth, it is impossible to live in the world without telling a lie. The essential lies to feel for others, the meaningless lie that the storyteller tells, the untrue behavior to hide the truth that is good or bad and the very clear and clever false statement are in this society. So, there are many forms of lie and there are diverse ideas on telling a lie. Then, it is important to remember the fact that the bad lies bring the new lies to cover up the deceits. To think whether the lie is good or bad is vital for the liar. And also, the person who is told a lie has to think that the lie was allowable or not. So, everyone who wants to live this world has to resolve the difficult problem about how to handle these lies.

camera

From after the war until the present time, people have liked taking photos to remember their special experiences. Though we can’t conclude the diversities of developed pictures at a single glance, the pictures have differences because of the change of camera system. These days, the digital camera is spread because it is convenient to take photos. On the other hand, there are still a lot of people who like old single-lens reflex camera because they know the good points of them. These two cameras are different in a view of the difficulty of taking photos and how to process photos.


Both two cameras are machines of taking photos but the handling systems are very different. Using the digital camera, people do not need to bring a camera into focus because the camera can do it automatically. Children, old people and others who have troubles with taking photos will be able to take photos at any point by using the digital camera. In contrast, the single-lens reflex camera is too difficult for those people. On the other hand, it is said that the single-lens reflex camera is very good at memorizing the memories of the photos as the people who take the photo like and it can express their thought. That is the advantage of it compared to the digital camera. A lot of pro cameramen prefer it because of this reason.


The biggest differences between the digital camera and the old single-lens reflex camera is that we can see the pictures soon after we take the photos if we use the digital camera while we can’t see them by using the old single-lens reflex camera. A lot of people especially young people prefer the system of digital camera because they can take a second shot and they can cancel the first one if they do not like that. However, it is good point of the old single-lens reflex camera that they enable us to look forward to seeing the developed pictures.


People think kind of taking photos to remember their memory and they always use cameras when they take photos. The two types of camera have its own good points.Each of them is by no means inferior. If people want to take photos easily and want to see the photo soon, they may use the digital camera. On the other hand, if people want to take photos with the utmost care and to enjoy waiting the photos are developed, they may use the old single-lens reflex camera. Therefore we use it with thinking what we need when we take photos.

large factory and my hometown

Perhaps a large factory should not be built in my community. There are many bad points of this, such as the destruction of nature and the bad effect on people’s health. The both of these problems are difficult to prove.
For one thing, my community has very beautiful sights to visit that are surrounded by greens. So, if the factory is built, the view with great nature is disappeared by the construction. People in my community like the beautiful views and they want to keep them and they will consider that the factory is not suitable for the view of the community.
In addition, the factory will make dirty air and it may make people who live near the factory feel sick. Also, the noises of the factory’s activities will prevent people from having enough time to sleep. It may be cause of the stress of people in my community. The factory should not be built in area where people live to keep their health good.
To build a large factory will promote an environmental problem and it will give people the causes of many kinds of illnesses. A large factory is not needed in my community to live comfortably.



Optic problems

Nowadays, people are suffered from problems with their eyesight. There are a lot of people who are with eye glasses or wear contact lens. It is good way that we use them to react to optic problems. When people use such sort of measures, they have to realize their respective defects. It is said that there are four types of defects that are the causes of optic problems ― myopia, long sight, astigmatism and presbyopia. Then, I will discuss each of these types.
Myopia is the first type of these types. It is the condition that people can see beside them. On the other hand, they can’t see the area far from them. Generally, it is acquired. The progresses of myopia usually begin in the cradle and stop in the late teens. However, the numbers of people who do not stop their progress of myopia in the late teens are increased because of prevalence of computers. People of this type use concave lenses to remedy their eyesight.
Long sight is the second type. It seems to be the opposite condition of myopia and people can see the area far from them. If people have slight indications, they can see indeed both of their near and far sight. However, they bring about the eye exhaustions because they always have to use the adjustment system. Children who are tertiary long sight must be treated while they are children. If they don’t, it leads weak sight. The convex lenses are used to care them.
Astigmatism is the third type. It is the condition that objects are looked as dim images. Though everyone has the some elements of astigmatism, people must remedy tertiary astigmatism with complex lenses made from concave lenses and convex lenses.
Presbyopia is the last type. They tend to be confused with long sight, but the nations are different. The concave lenses are used. However, when people see far point, they have to put out the glasses. It is the aging of focus system.
The trouble of eye sight is concerned with people and their lives. It is important to realize own symptom and find the practical way to treat.

SOS From Earth

Today, environmental problems become more and more serious. It can be said that one of the biggest causes of the problem is discharging carbon dioxide. For example, it draws acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, and so on. Of course, everything is result of what human beings do. Now, a lot of people are aware of the danger of the earth. To save their globe, there are some sensible approaches to the problem. Kyoto Protocol is one of them. It is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory emission limitations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the signatory nations. When the meeting to think about this resolution, it emerged that the north-south problem is one of the sources of the global environmental problem. What’s more, Kyoto Protocol has the issue that USA withdrew from it. This paper will research the two difficult point concerning Kyoto Protocol.

A lot of developing countries are advancing the industrialization without enough measures of environmental problem as former advanced nations. So, the total amount of greenhouse gas that the developing nations exhaust is increases steadily. However the Kyoto Protocol does not refer to these countries to decrease carbon dioxide. The more people drive cars, the more carbon dioxide discharged to earth, and also, the more people eat meat, the more pastures are needed and the deforestation is occurred. The nations that were enough developed are understood the fact that casing too rich and useful life is the cause of global destruction. On the other hand, other countries want to develop economy and improve their lives above all things. There is disagreement between South –side people who don’t have a national commitment to ecology and North-side people who are taking account of keeping an environment. However, it is impossible to solve the global environmental problem without cooperation among the countries. To be compatible environment with exploitation, the sustainable development is demanded. Developed countries have to aid developed countries and the South has to enlarge trading and drive for the independent economy.
   Kyoto Protocol was taken effect without USA. The President Bush announced that his country seceded from it because of two following reasons. First, it is disadvantage to American economy if they execute its aim of reducing. Secondly, it is unfair because it does not provide reduction aim of developing countries. It is said that enough effects can not be expected because of nonparticipation of USA. Now, such cope is blamed that it is very self-centered behavior though there are 219 cities that confirm the treaty. The circumstances of each country are different. So, it is important to understand each other and cooperate passing across the border.

There are a lot of problems about global environment because it is difficult to resolve. These matters stick firmly to people’s daily life. We can not live without discharging greenhouse gas including carbon dioxide. North side and South side are in different situations and they cannot be easily pulled together in the same measure. Moreover, it is very serious problem that USA that is world’s biggest outbreak country of carbon dioxide refuses the conclusion of Kyoto Protocol. Since people make economy growth, they have to act something to reduce greenhouse gas and protect their earth. To keep the Kyoto Protocol is one of the necessaries of to resolve the environmental problem on a global scale.

Climax is when Morrie was serious; Mitch gripped Morrie’s wrinkled hands. Morrie told his wisdom for life to Mitch with a lot of love. Finally, ‘I love you.’ Morrie said to Mitch.

Theme:
The theme of this book is ‘How life is wonderful.’ Though was in bad illness, he was always grieved at others’ sadness and rejoiced at others’ happiness. He told me that it is important for our life to understand others’ feeling and have kindness to them.

Symbol:
‘Tuesday’ is the symbol of this story. Their lecture was holding every Tuesdays so that Mitch managed to fit him in Tuesdays. The Tuesdays are their special days and Mitch always learned about his life from his great coach in Tuesdays.

Irony:
The irony of this book is the growth of Morrie’s disease. Ironically, Mitch could meet Morrie after an interval of fifteen years after he knew that Morrie was in illness. Though Mitch started to understand what was important for life, Morrie’s illness became worse and worse.

Evaluation:
This book was written in a little difficult English, so it was not so easy for me to understand. However the story of this book was very interesting for me so that I can read and read.
I was really impressed by Morrie’s words. For example,’ How can I be envious of where you are -when I’ve been there myself?’ he said to Mitch. People often yearn for youthful days and have discontent pent up about the present conditions. I can learn that the compliment will bring nothing but next compliment. Morrie told me that age is not a competitive issue. Though he was in bad illness that was grown and grown, he did not forget gratitude for his family, friends and the fact that he could live the morning. Before reading his words, I, who was in good health, could not to realize the wonderful thing that there are a lot of people around me and I can live. Now, I can feel the pleasure of everything around me. I really thank to this book to let me know the very important thing. Though this book deal with ‘death’, I could read it with a little sadness and a lot of warmth.

two hobbies

Most of us have our own hobbies.
My hobby is reading books. On the other hand, my father’s hobby is cycling.

Though I think that both of them are good hobbies, my father’s hobby is better for the health than my hobby because it is good for the health to exercise.
If you try to do cycling, you must use your body fully. Cycling needs not only the muscles of your legs but also the muscle of the whole body. So you can take good exercise with this hobby. On the contrary, reading doesn’t need any muscle.
Only you need is your concentration of your mind and maybe a good eyes. So you can’t take exercise with this hobby. If you want to have hobbies that will be good for your health, I suggest you to try cycling. I think that it is wonderful to do what is good for your health with your enjoyment.
So it is good for you to have some active hobbies.

Summary: One day, a little girl named Fern saw her father when he would kill the baby pig because it was a runt. Fern thought that it was unfair and said her father not to kill him. Finally, she persuaded him and he let her keep the pig for herself. The pig was named Wilbur. Fern loved him a lot. However, he grew up day by day and he got to be bought by Fern’s uncle who was the farmer living next to her house. Wilbur was fed with a lot of animals in a hut and Fern come there every day. One day, the rat who often visited the hut to eat their slops told Wilbur that people would kill the pig in winter for the Christmas dinner. Wilbur was terribly shocked to hear that. Every animal in the hut took pity on him but they thought that was the way it goes. Then one spider said that she would help him from the death in winter. The Spider was Charlotte. She was kind to Wilbur because he didn’t fear her though everyone feared her because of her looks. She pondered on the problem and she found the way. One summer morning, Charlotte made the cobweb and she weaved the letters of ‘SOME PIG’ in the web. A lot of people were surprised and it became big news. Of course, Wilbur called as a ‘SOME PIG’ and he became a charmer. However, after some days, everyone forgot it and Wilbur came back to a normal pig. Next, few weeks later, Charlotte made the letter of ‘TERRIFIC’ in her web to attract people’s attention. A lot of people came and saw Wilbur, but humans had very short attention. As summer ended so did the excitement about web Charlotte needed to think of something special, special enough to change the way people saw the world, or at least one pig in the world. At that time, everyone in the hut loved Wilbur and Charlotte. So, they all cooperate with Charlotte for securing Wilbur from death. The rat found the word of ‘RADIANT’ on a scrap of news paper in the human’s world and Charlotte made it in her web. The same thing was happened and then, Wilbur was just a runt. To keep Wilbur, Fern decided to let him take part in the domestic animal contest. Every animal in the hut and Fern wanted him to win because if he won, he would be a special pig and it couldn’t be killed anyway. They all had become his friends then. On the very day of the contest, Charlotte made letters of ‘humble’ that suit with him well. Though it was determined that the winner was the rival pig, the decision was changed that Wilbur was the winner!! The web of Charlotte moved people and she helped Wilbur. Wilbur thanked for Charlotte but she was not fine because she laid eggs and she didn’t have power any more. Charlotte told him that she loved him a lot and she was very happy because he became her friends. Wilbur brought her eggs back to the hut and took care of them. Wilbur could snow in a hut and in spring, Charlotte’s babies were born. And, in an ordinary barn, an ordinary pig, a runt no less, stood surrounded by friends, welcoming his second spring.

Setting: The setting is the present day in America

Point of view; This story is told by the third person.

Conflict: Fern’s uncle and everyone who loves Wilbur are in conflict. The uncle wanted to kill Wilbur if he was just a pig. Fern and every animal in hut did their best to secure Wilbur against her uncle.

Climax: The climax of this story is when the contest was held. First, Wilbur was lost and everyone thought that he would be killed soon. However, the web was made up and the decision was changed. So, it was the climax when Charlotte’s pains helped him.

Symbol: The symbol of this story was web. Web was Charlotte’s love to Wilbur.

Irony: When the decision was changed, Wilbur was very happy and said to Charlotte to go home with him and live together forever. Then, however she got weak and couldn’t live anymore. Wilbur didn’t know that she had eggs and she kept working to help him. So, the death of Charlotte was the irony of this story.
Theme: Theme of this story is the friendship and the self devotion. Wilbur didn’t judge others by their looks. Then, Charlotte could have a friend. His kindness and pure mind make everyone gently. Charlotte was very kind of him because he was her first friend. She administered to help her friend and finally she was dead. So, this story was almost about the friendship and the self devotion.

Evaluation: This book was written in a little difficult English but I could read it without any difficulties. It was very heartwarming story for me. I think it is good for children to learn love. Charlotte and Wilbur were always thought each other. It is very difficult thing to love someone laying down one’s life. I also impressed by this book when Fern said to her father that it was unfair to kill the runt and she asked to him, ‘If I had been very mal at birth, would you have killed me?’ I became to think that it must always fair to live. This book told me the fact that everyone has their right to live and we must cherish the life of not only oneself but also everyone in the world.

at night(。・ω・。)

I couldn't sleep well recent night because the things I want to do is too much.(´・ω・`)

I live in Tokyo, Meguro, that is a place far from Sagamihara campus.
It takes about 1.5 hours to go to shool.

So, if the class ends at 16:25, I will reach my home (if I don't hang around on the way・・・) about 18:00(´;ω;`)
I 'm spend a lot of time in the Odakyu line every weekday (´・ω・`)!!!!!

Everyday, I watch my live dvd through the TV and before I go to bed, I usually use computer to use internet.

I really think that our life really depends on the computer and internet. In my case, I will be in trouble a lot if my computer is broken by some reason. I can't do homework, and much of my hobby can not be done (´・ω・`)

Finally, I will introduce one of my favorite youtube animation.


I think the content of this story is not good one though this song is very cute. I'm sorry if you don't like it(・ω・)

Machida

The other day, I went to Machida with my friend after school.
She was a girl whom I became friend first when I enter the university last year.
We have not seen so often this year because we did not choose same subject this year.
So, I was really looking for the day.
We enjoy dinnar and we went to KARAOKE.
I don't go Karaoke so often. Maybe I go there once or twice a year.
Though I don't like there, I enjoyed Karaoke that day(。・ω・。)♪

I really feel that it is important to spend a time to relax with the close friend.
