Various Jobs
I found an interesting book, "yonimokimyouna-syokugyouannnai". This book introduces the strange or unknown jobs. For example, Dinosaur duster, Golf ball diver, Odor judge, Safe cracker, headmistress and so on. There are many uncommon jobs and some of these are the jobs we usually think dirty or danger. But people who are engaging in the jobs are proud of their own works. I learned how to work happily by this book. (70 words)
Romeo and Juliet -essay prep/essay 10-
Actually I have seen “Romeo and Juliet” for the first time despite it being Shakespeare’s very famous love story. But I have known this movie’s words, “Oh, Romeo, why are you Romeo?” I didn’t know what these words mean until watching it. This is a modern-day “Romeo and Juliet”. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes act as Romeo and Juliet in this movie. They are beautiful and right for the role, I think.
Romeo is the son of the Montagues. He is beautiful man and a little naughty. But his friend Mercutio is naughtier. His character will make him plunge into a sad situation. Juliet is the daughter of the Capulets. She is also a beautiful girl and expected to marry with a rich man by her parents. Her cousin, Tybalt is the nephew of Lady Capulet. He is proud of himself and his family name and an impetuous man. Capulet is a father of Juliet. He is sometimes fierce. Lady Capulet is the mother of Juliet and tries hard to make her a proper Capulet. Angelica is a Juliet's personal attendant and confidante. At first, I thought she is a follower of Lady Capulet. But she is the only person who worries about Juliet.
Romeo suffered from one-sided love. His friends including Mercutio took him to the Capulet’s party. The Capulets and Montagues were on bad terms. There, he fell in love Juliet. Juliet fell in love with him, too. But they knew that they were the enemy. But their love didn’t end. They exchanged marriage vows by Friar Laurence secretly. He expected this would reconcile both families. But a sad accident happened. Tybalt killed Mercutio. Romeo was beside himself by anger and killed Tybalt. He was banished. Friar Laurence told him to publish their marriage and called back Romeo. After he left, Juliet was forced to marry another man by her parents. She asked Friar Laurence what she should do. He had a certain plan. The night before marriage, she drinks a poison. But it doesn’t kill her. She’ll stiffen as if she died, and wake up after 24 hours. Then, she’ll be in church as a dead person. After that, she’ll run away to Romeo. Despite the fact that this was very dangerous plan, she decided to do it. Friar Laurence sent a letter written the plan for Romeo soon. But Romeo didn’t receive it. He heard from his attendant that Juliet died. The attendant didn’t know the plan and thought really she died. Romeo grieved and decided to go to her. If he is arrested, it means his death. He told good-bye to his attendant on the way and ran through the town to her. Then he already prepared for death, he had a strong poison. Finally, he arrived where she was. When he said good-bye and drunk the poison, she woke up. She said good-bye to him and killed herself.
There is no result if both families are reconciled. I think they were. If not, their death doesn’t have a meaning. I wondered why both families’ young people are such short temper. Is it common in UK? Japanese are thought to be calm about things usually. If they become calmer, they may be able to be reconciled. Romeo and Juliet are poor. They are only son and daughter of their families, so when they are dead, both blood end. (563 words/total:8911 words)

Toy Story -essay prep/essay 11-
This is story about toys. When I was a child, I didn’t have many toys, so I envy Andy, because it appears that he has many toys. He and other children characters seem to like doll toys. But I preferred stuffed toy animal. I have thought they come alive at midnight and play all sorts of pranks. In this movie, toys come alive when there is no one around. But they are very funny. If I watched it earlier, I might also have liked dolls.
Woody is the Andy’s favorite toy, and the leader of his toys. His character is a cowboy, so his style looks western. On his back, there is a string with a ring at its edge. Pulling it, he says some words. Actually he is a wooden doll and a little old. But Andy loves him heartily. Buzz Lightyear is the toy space ranger and the latest model toy. He has some buttons on his body, and pushing them, he says some cool words clearly. Pushing the other buttons, his arm gives off a red laser or he spreads his wings. Moreover he has a strong sense of justice, so almost all the toys like him. Slinky is funny and my favorite character. He is the Woody’s best friend. When Woody was in trouble, only two he and Bo Peep worried about him. Bo Peep is the shepherd doll and has beautiful blue eyes. Woody loves her. Rex is also my favorite toy, a dinosaur who is not at all dreadful. He is scared if the stronger dinosaur appears, on the other hand, looks forward to seeing herbivorous dinosaur because he wants to be proud that he is fresh-eating. He is such a funny and cute toy, I thought. Andy is the owner of there toys and he loves toys. He writes his own name at Woody’s sole . Sid is Andy’s neighbor. He also likes toys, but he loves remodeling toys. After that, the toys were done so are left themselves for the long time.
Andy’s mother presented him the latest toy, Buzz Lightyear, a space ranger. Andy was absorbed in him soon. Woody envied Buzz. One day, they left at the gas station in accident and tried to return to Andy. But they were on bad. Moreover, they were taken by Sid. At his house, they started to be reconciled little by little. Buzz helped Woody from a cage and Woody saved Buzz’s life. After that, they could return to Andy together.
Toys have their own character. Bo Peep also needs for Andy even though she is female and a doll for girl, because she has a role. I thought if there are various kinds of people, our real world may be more interesting. (448 words)
