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.

Ethan, Jim and four other members began to move for the completeness the mission. But they died one after another in the middle of the mission because their plan leaked out. 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 remembered Kittridge said it’s a person called Max that made the informer rob NOC list. Ethan knew the informer’s false name is Job and met Max. He told her Job’s list is false. He negotiated to exchange the real NOC list and Job. Ethan and Clare requested Krieger, tough guy and Luther, gifted hacker to help getting the list from CIA’s severe headquarters. Due to their help, Ethan could get it. Kittridge knew this fact and arrested Ethan’s mother and uncle suspicion of the illicit dealers to lure him.

After all, Kittridge in the train arrested Max. Ethan’s mother and uncle were released. Ethan got tired of spy work and rode on a plane. Then, he got a new mission…
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.

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.

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.

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)

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)

A farmer tried to pick a enormous turnip. But he couldn't. Then, his wife held his bask, their child pull her, a dog pull him by the hem, a cat held the dog and pull. But they couldn't. At the end of these, a bird put the cat's tale between her bill and pull. The turnip begun to move little by little. Finelly, they pull out it completely.

You felt strange, didn't you? "The enormous turnip" I have known is different the members who pull it. The animal pulls cat is mouse! Are these original story's members? But the contents this story wants to say is same. The farmer is big and strong, on the other hand, the bird is small. Despite it, he couldn't pull out it without the bird and was helped by her. In short, the strong people shouldn't underestimate the nonpersons. Now, there is the gap between rich person and poor person. If all persons live help each other, all are happy, I think.

The story of Chocolate -Book Review 6-

Do you like chocolate? I like very much. Do you know about chocolate? I don't much. I'll tell you chocolate's history this book said.

A thousand years ago, chocolate was a big secret. They discovered a way to change cocoa beans to smelling drink. After that, people drank it and nobody ate it. They used not only cocoa beans but also cocoa tree, their pots, their mugs and even their walls. Cocoa became valuable gradually and they could buy a rabbit for ten beans and slave for one hundred!

The Aztecs's king who knew the existence of chocolate used it when he made peace with other country. Since then, it began to spread to the world. In 1847, an English chocolate maker, Francis Fry, invented the world's first chocolate bar. After that, many people invented various kinds of chocolate, milk chocolate, kisses, Goo Goo Cluster and M&M's.

I learned about chocolate in detail! I wonder the ascent people drank bitter chocolate! By the way, do you know Godiva? It's Belgian high-class chocolate company. I ate it the other day♪ The upper picture is so. The one missing was eaten by me(^^;) It was so good! Chocolate is the actually king of sweets, I think. (204 words)

The Gingerbread Man -Book Review 5-

Gingerbread man is tasty♪ But I was surprised this story('д’;) There are many tragic fairy tales in foreign counties. In Japan, there hardly are such stories.

Once upon a time, an old woman and old man lived with horses and cows. They wanted their children. Then, she made a gingerbread man. He began to run away as soon as he left an oven. She and he followed him. He ran singing. Watching it, a horse and cow also followed him to eat. Watching the old woman and man, the horse and the cow was following; farmer also followed him to eat. Watching the old woman and man, the horse, the cow and farmer was following; children also followed him to eat. The gingerbread man ran and ran singing. Then, he found stream ahead. A fox told him to help to cross the stream. He took on a fox's tale. But his tale got wet. He moved to the fox's back. But there also got wet. He moved to the fox's head. Then, suddenly the fox ate him!

Oh no! Then, what this story wants to say? It's just cruel! After reading it, I researched about the gingerbread man. His origin is thought having started in British. Henry VIII said ginger takes effect to Pest having spread in British in those days. Many people made cookie added ginger. By the way, fox always acts the villain in Japan and foreign countries, I think. Do you know this is why? (。_°) (252 words/total: 7408 words)

The Ink Drinker -Book Rview 4-

Despite this book's cover is weired, it attracted the interest of mine. The man is sucking ink by straw. What is he doing?



A boy hates books was son of book store's owner. On day, he hid himself there when he tended the store. It was his favorite. Then, a strange man entered his store. He floated off the ground! He picked a book and begun to suck by straw. After that, he left the store. The boy followed him. He went to a cemetery and disappeared in crypt. There, the man was sleeping. Suddenly, he woke up and looked at the boy. He told a lie that there is his grandmother's grave. But the man read his mind and said, "You will develop sacking ink tomorrow!" The next day, he became one of the ink drinkers!

How dreadful! (><;) When the boy became an ink drinker, he felt happy he is son of book store's owner for the first time. But I little envy him because it's easy to understand contents of books by only sucking book's ink. I also hardly read books as him. If we drink the textbook's ink, we can know easily without reading a lot(＾＾)♪ (203 words)
