Poppy walked along the path until she met a man selling bricks. She began to build her house. Bricks were so heavy but they're better than straw and sticks. At last, the brick house was finished.

The Fox and the Crow -Book Review 9-


This is an Aesop's very easy fable. Fox was always hungry. One day, he found Crow having some cheese. He wanted it. He said her, "You're pretty! What beautiful feathers! Can you sing too?" The Crow nodded and began to sing. Then the cheese fell down. The fox could get it and said her, "Don't always believe people who say nice things. Sometimes they just want something from you."

Aesop's stories always have a "moral" at the end for children. This story maybe says you shouldn't believe other people easily, I think. It may be true. But I also don't hope children to suspect easily. I learned from my mother, "A kind person is just stupid." I hate it because it sounds a kind people are bad. But recently I found my mother's thought. She is also very kind person. But she has been deceived due to her character. So I understand now she wants me to be a wise person not to be deceived.

Finally the mission didn’t succeed and only Ethan survived. After that he met Kittridge, one of CIA and was told there is an informer in IMF. This mission was CIA’s plan to search the informer. It’s natural that he was suspected. He ran away and tried to find a real informer. Then Clare, he thought she had died appeared. She decided to help him.

He already promised Max to exchange the list and Job in a limited express. After he delivered the list Max, Clare met Jim hided in the train. But it was Ethan disguised himself. Then real Jim appeared. Job was Jim actually. He, Clare and Krieger killed his companies in that party one after another. In a gunfight, a bullet Jim shot hit Clare.

Do you think a spy network exists such as this movie? I think so. They are cool. But CIA’s headquarters are very big. If I live near there, I would wonder. This movie is very exciting. But the scale is too huge for me. The spies maybe are good at hiding their feeling. They are great to be absorbed in this job despite their companies may betray. I think they need the lowest courage.

Mask -essay prep/essay 12-


In this movie, five characters appeared mainly. Stanley is a timid band clerk. His hobby is watching the cartoon. Milo is his dog. He is good at looking for a key. Tina is a Stanley’s customer; mysterious and beautiful woman. Most men enslaved by her including him. Dorian is a one of gang. He is always up to be a top. Kellaway is an honest detective.
Stanley always didn’t look good due to his weak character. He wants to make advances to his customer, Tina. One day, he found and old wooden mask. Putting it on, he became to be able to do all things he wants. He could approach her due to the mask. But she was attracted by him without the mask. Dorian began to aim Stanley since he with the mask robed from bank he would do. In addition, Kellaway also follows him suspecting of bank robbery. Meanwhile, Dorian caught Tina because he thought she loved Stanley and betrayed him. Actually he is her lover. Stanley knew it but didn’t mind. By Dorian’s trick, he was robbed the mask. But he went to them to help her. He decided to save her without the mask. But after all, he defeated Dorian with the mask, Tina and Milo’s help. At the end of the movie, he threw away the mask to the sea.
Watching this movie, I thought if I put the mask, how do I become? Stanley and Dorian are different when they put the mask on. I think Stanley is a good person by nature because he didn’t do any bad thing without bank robbery. On the other hand, Dorian did bad things willingly. To tell the truth, I think he is not so bad because he with the mask is not a mad killer. I want to see an interesting hero such as Stanley. But I don’t hope using it because I’m afraid to show my desire. (322 words/total: 10167 words)

Stories of Dolls -Book Review 8-


This book has three some stories of dolls. I'll introduce two of these. In a first story, three dolls appear. One of them, the most beautiful hoped live in a palace. She always puts a sparkling hairpin. One fine day, their owner girl took them to the outside. You know, some birds like the sparkling things. Suddenly, she was taken away by a bird. He took her his nest. She has hoped to love a palace, not their common house. But bird's nest is not good than it. She asked him to return crying. Then, he insisted to give him her sparkling pin. She approved unwillingly. Finally, she could go home.

I had some dolls when I was a child. My house is, of course, not a palace. If my dolls had been hoping to live a palace than my house, I feel sad. (^^;) But most dolls and toys are expressed they are obedient in movies and books. I believe it!

I have heard a story similar to a second one. A girl has a favorite doll. They spent a time together. But one day, her parents presented her a new doll. She is able to walk, sing and talk. Moreover she has blond hair and blue eye. The girl's favorite doll has only black hair... She said she'll go to a dentist with the girl. It was the black hair doll's work at first. She felt sad. Then, the blond hair doll broke and kept talking. Finally, the girl took the first favorite doll and said, "You are still my favorite doll."

I wonder what's "still". By the way, you know a story similar to this story, don't you? Yes, "Toy Story" is so. Woody envies Buzz, the latest toy. But I think the latest toy is not necessarily fun and popular because some dolls and toys has been popular, Rika chan doll, card game and so on. They don't move or just paper. But its attract kids.

My favorite clothes -List 10-

1. Jeans
-I like jeans because it's very useful. There is much kind of jeans. I like two designs of these, "skinny jeans" and "boyfriend's jeans", in Japanese fashion magazine says so. Skinny jeans have an effect that person who wearing it looks more slender. Boyfriend's jeans are boyish. I love a cute style with it. For example, when I wear it, I often take feminine top.

2. Muffler
-Muffler is very warm. I heard on TV if you take it, you feel warm as same as you take one more clothes. So I use it everyday. Moreover, taking it enables you looks more fashionable. I recommend to use it for people especially who commute by bike or bicycle or on foot. (122 words/total: 9103 words)

SEIJINSHIKI

I attended to a coming-of-age ceremony in Tamana yesterday. "Seijin-no-hi" is second Monday in January. The day of this year is 12. At the ceremony, most girls wear "furisode". It is a one of Japanese clothes and worn by unmarried women. I have received many direct mails from Japanese clothes shops. The girls who are 19 years old will be sent it from about now. Japanese clothes are very expensive. Old people had thought it's one of their properties. It's hard for parents to prepare the furisode. I wore a purple one. Japanese clothes also take much time to wear. So girls had to wake up early. My family lent some rooms for a certain Japanese clothes shop to wear, make up and set the girl's hair yesterday. 12 girls wore furisode there. First girl and women who make up girls came 5:30 a.m.!! The make up artists had to complete all12 girls until 10:30 a.m. My turn was last. I was finished before 11:00 a.m. Their feat of agility was wonderful.
After the preparation, I went to a hall held the ceremony. There were many classmates of mine. But there were also strange people because some cities, towns and villages had been united. I took many pictures with my friends I met them after a long time. Some of them have changed but most haven't. At the ceremony, we watched a musical performance and dance done by our classmates. They were nice. After some address, the ceremony finished. I changed my clothes and went to a class reunion held in a hotel. There were my friends I had gone with them to the same junior high school. They dressed up and became grown-up. We drank, talked and ate. Suddenly my class's members were called by our teacher and handed a letter. It was the letter written by me 15 years old. When we were the junior high school students, we wrote it for me living future. I released and laughed because there was a mistaken paper written only one line. I was a hasty girl. Now, I think I have become a hasty woman. I want to be a real adult. (362 words)
