BR:2-14 Frankenstein

"You may hate me, but I hate myself more"[p.63]

I have listened only name of “Frankenstein” but I didn’t know this story. After reading this story, I thought Frankenstein was a bad man and didn’t have moral.

If he hasn’t created the monster, the monster hadn’t suffered from finding his identity or significance of resentence because he was born this world without relating his intention. Frankenstein’s thinking was just creating a perfect human by using dead person. But his thinking was too shallow. If he haven’t created the monster, his wife would haven’t killed by the monster and the monster hadn’t have suffered from himself things.

I think creating human is too bad things because it destroys race of human and such a shallow action isn’t thought the feeling created things. It is against morality. We mustn’t create humans.

BR:2-13Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


"To their astonishment, she opened her eyes"[p.45]

I have ever watched "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" called "Shirayukihime" by Japanese. When I was a kindergartener, I had watched it first time. It was Walt Disney’s movie. I fascinated this story and musical.

After reading this book, I felt the dear feeling. When I was a child, I liked the Cinderella story like this book very much. And I had thought I want to get married with prince like Cinderella. This story makes girls feel shining feeling. I like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” the best of all Disney stories. Maybe almost girls like it.

Now I am growing so I don’t believe it to be true. But I read this book, my feeling makes warm. I thought it is good that I have such a girl’s dream.

BR:2-12 The Fashion Story of Fashion


"By the 1830's, every well-dressed lady wanted puffy sleeves."[p.60]

The opportunity I intended to read this book is I’m interested in fashion. So I picked it up and read.

This book said fashion of the present from accent Roma. Each time’s fashions were influenced the time of culture or change and so on. After reading this book, I think I want to wear France’s clothes of 1700s because they were so gorgeous and fashionable dresses. But people wore the clothes of the time have to squish own the waist. They were laced so tightly, even breathing was hard. I thought if I wore this dress, I couldn’t live to keep my life smoothly. So I want to wear a few times whiling I live.

I think fashion is repeated after the time of years. Especially, woman’s fashion is like that way. Woman’s fashion is influenced more than men’s one. I thought woman is hard to keep fashionable and lovely own.

BR:2-11 Black Beauty


"That's what Squire Gordon called Beauty's patch."[p.62]

I read this story first time. Before having read this story, I hadn’t have think about horses’ feeling.

The cats or dogs like pets are loved by people but horses or caws or others like people uses or eats are just raisin to ride, eat, and do something else. We are human, so we don’t use or eat by others but other animals are used just as human wants. I know we can’t say only high sounding statement to keep our life. We have to live to eat or make a living by other animals.

In this story, Black Beauty was broken his borne, so people thrown away him. I think this is a bad thing. Even if he could not run, we have his important life once, so we have to take care of his rest life.

After reading this book, I thought we have to use or eat many things related to other animals.

BR:2-10 The Three Wishes


"I wish the sausage was off your nose, said Nad"[p.22]

I read this story first time. This story is an old man and woman’s wishes story. An old man wished has a sausage because he was so hungry. But an old woman wished does something more and bigger than his wishes. If I were they, I would wish something like an old woman because I could have rare chance to be fulfilled whatever I wish.

After reading this story, I thought if we have a rare chance to be fulfilled our wishes, what should we have priority? Big whishes like an old man? Have some beautiful clothes? Something makes rich than now? Or we should wish small things? For instance, having a sausage like an old man.

I want to wish bigger things to be rich than now. But if I wish bigger things, I should recognize the situation of mine. Just the greed is not good. I want to wish to make myself good than now exclude the bad greed.

BR:2-9 The Gingerbread Man


"Yes, that is the end of the gingerbread man"[p.19]

I read The Gingerbread Man first time. I knew the existence of the Gingerbread Man but I didn’t know the story. The Gingerbread Man’s appearance is so cute and looks delicious cookies. I want to bake cookies like the Gingerbread Man someday.

This story was the escape drama of the Gingerbread Man. But he was eaten by a bad fox. I was a little sad because the last ending was the Gingerbread Man eaten by a fox. On this Christmas, I watched TV which introduced the Gingerbread Man. It said the Gingerbread Man is the vogue during the winter.

I was glad to know the story of the Gingerbread Man. And I wanted to bake cookies like it.

BR:2-8 The Twelve Dancing Princesses


"They were all still dancing the following night."[p.25]

I read this story first time. This story is funny story but I think the waiting twelve princes are looks so sad because they were looking forward to seeing and dancing with twelve princesses.

I think the action of twelve princesses danced with princes every night is not bad things. Just dancing with princes isn’t OK? Maybe the king is their parent so he was just worry about them. In my case, my parents are so worrywart. It must be if they are my parents. But I wanted to be free more because I can’t do any things than others because my parents are so worrywart. I think parents should believe their children more.

If I would be parent of my children, I want them to do many things to some extent.

BR:2-7 Stories of Princes & Princesses


"The invitation said: "Please come- but take a bath first!"[p.46]

I read this story first time. I think funny story for kids.

After reading it, I think it is difficult to choose the partner on own life. In my opinion, the most important point to choose own partner is matching character or personality with you. The good relation isn't connected only to choose appearance or class. If there is not true love, they can’t live together on their lives. So the most important point is matching character or personality with you to live together on their lives.

This is why I thought I want to be careful to choose the partner if I met ran into someone.

BR:2-6 TITANIC


"The Titanic disaster forced the world to realize that no ship, however powerful and well-designed, was unsinkable." [p.54]

I have ever watched TITANIC movie 5 times. This story is sad but beautiful love story. So I like it. This time, I read TITANIC, I was able to know not only the true story but the story of TITANIC movie.

TITANIC was made in England on 1994. TITANIC sank off sea of winter in 1994 because it bumped an iceberg About 1,513 passengers or crews died on the accident. In the movie, a woman and man fall in love each other. But the woman was a high class, the man was a citizen class. Their love was difficult to recognize from others. I think their love was beautiful because they struggled the difference of class and they loved each other straightly.

I have ever watched TITANIC five times but I don’t get tired to watch it. And then it makes me want to watch it again. Maybe this reason is TITANIC is non-fiction and impresses many people’s heart.

BR:2-5 Gulliver's Travels


"A place called Lilliput," said Gulliver and he showed the captain his souvenirs. [p.62]

I had read this story when I was a kindergartener. This story was made into a movie a few years ago. Now, I read it again and studied about this writer a little bit. This story was written by Jonathan Swift, he was a famous writer. He described the relation between the England and France on the story.

I think Gulliver’s feeling was like a foreigner when he arrived at the country small people living. Because it is different all things’ size we think. And then it was birth the difference of thinking. I have been to US once last summer vacation. I felt the difference of culture of life style. Maybe He felt the feeling like me.
And then Lilliput was described England at then. I think this story was described well the time of relation between the England and France. And then it was criticized the relation by using this story.

This story is funny and interesting for children but it is described the criticism about a few things. I think that it isn’t good for children but adult.

In fact, Julia Roberts is also a real actress today. So we think her performance is like herself. She was thinking about the suffering as an actress while playing the role of Anna when she made the film with others. For instance, if she wanted to get along with other people equally, they would not have treated her as a human equal with others because she is a tremendously popular actress. Surely, she experienced the suffering on real life. We seemed to see her role of Anna performance is simply and cheerful personality. But when she mad, she is so scary on this movie.

BR:2-04 Three Billy-Goats

“OK, here I come! says the very big goat.” [p.15]
I read this story when I was a kindergartener. And then we made a play of it in there.

I think the big goat was kind goat because other goats forced him to fight the troll. But he didn’t feel bat it and he fought for others to pass on the bridge. His kind and brave make my feeling warm. This story is that the big goat fought alone. But I thought the best way to pass on the bridge and defeated the troll is fighting all together. So if they fought all together, only one goat hasn’t have a dangerous experience or felt unpleasant.

The big goat’s kind made my feeling warm. I want to be a person like him.

My favorite memory in junior high school

My favorite memory in junior high school is the best athletic meet. I had played Kendo since I was a Kindergartener. So maybe I had played Kendo for 12 years. I was taller than other teammates, so I must have been boss in our team. Most of all bosses in other team were strong player. So I always had very tight games. I have been a rival as Kendo player. Her name is Marin Takahashi. So our game was long drawn out. She contented seriously and her voice was louder that I have ever heard. We contended seriously with each other. As result, we were a draw. I couldn’t win her. It was galling to be a draw by her.She was a strong player and had the result of the national third place. But she was younger than me, and then she was a second grade in junior high school. So I wanted to win the last game which I had played Kendo. (165/ 10778 words)

My favorite Nabe

My favorite Nabe is two kinds. One is Kimuchi Nabe. I don’t like hot meals but I can eat Kimuchi Nabe. I think Kimuchi Nabe is the most delicious Nabe of all. It’s a moderately hot taste and has many vegetables. For example I’ll put Chinese cabbage, touhu, carrot, pork and so on into Nabe. And I like to put Gyoza into it. Finally I usually put Chinese nodal in it. I got together with my friends and sometimes made Nabe in my house during winter. Winter season make us to want to eat Nabe. So we made some kinds of Nabe. I’m planning to cook Nabe with my friends of part time job someday. Another Nabe I like is Motsu Nabe. This is good taste too. But I don’t like Motsu, so I always eatone while avoiding Motsu. Basically I don’t like to eat vegetables but if tere are into Nabe, I’m willing to eat them. So it is good for my health to eat Nabe. I like Nabe. (170/10613 words)
