Gross Pointe Blank

This movie was very scary and fanny because I don't like hired killers and seeing blood but I like action movies and comedy movies very much, so I don't know whether I like it or not. I think this movie  has many wonders. First, I wonder why his parent's hause had been changed a convenience store. And then, he should contact with his relatives to ask about it, but he asked a convenience staff, so it was fanny. Second, I wonder why his older friends wasn't suprised when he said he is a hired killer. Is is common thing in America? If I was his friend, I would be suprise and think lot of things about him, but they didn't so now I think it was a part of this comedy story. Third, I wonder why he and his secretary don't get along with each other. Actually, his secretary is his sister. It was amzaing for me.

BR2-14 Under of the Ground

In 1940 five boys were waliking with their dog in the hills near Lascaux in France. Suddenly the dog fell down hole in the ground. He was not hurt, but the boys could not touch him because the hole to widen it. 'I think there's a cave under here!' said one of the boys. 'Good boy!' he called to the dog. 'We're coming!' One by one, they went down through the hole into the cave. 'It's dark in here! Has anybody got a light?' One boy had a box of matches. By their light the boys could see wonderful things. Pictures of animals covered roof of the cave.

This book recall an earthscience class which I took when I was a high school student. I really liked that class and was looking forward to seeing earthscience teacher. I prefererd to study astronomy than about ground, but I could understand about ground of science better than astronomy. And also, I think it is important to know about under the ground for Japanese people because a lot of  earthquake  happened in Japan, so we should know about it and take steps to deal with natural disaster which we can't know when it will happen.

BR2-13 Seasons and Celebrations

In Britain, Canada and the USA, in each of the four seasons, people enjoy different festivals and celebrations. Thousands of the years ago the people of Britain were pagans. In their religions, the sun , the moon, the winds, rain, animals and trees were all important, and they had festival for them. When Christianity came to Britain, the people wanted to keep some of their old festivals. Hallowe'en Christmas, Saint Valentine's Day and Easter are all examples of this.

I think Japanese celebration is very rare for people in another countries because Japanese people celebrate Shogatsu, Setsubun, Bon and also, but on the other hand they celebrate Christmas, Valentine and Halloween. This is because Japan has many kind of religion. For example, my family don't have specific religion. My grandmother likes Catholicism and Buddhism, and I went to Catholic kindergarden when I was child. I thought it wasn't understood by people who believe only one religion. However, several month ago, I asked a French man about Japanese rare culture of celebration, he understand about it.

About Gatsby

Last weekend, I did my report very hard. It was American literature report. We had to chose only one from many kind of American literature. I choose The Great Gatsby because I wonder about why its title is "The Great" Gatsby and I think this story is symbol of the American dream. I started to consider about this literature on December last year, but I couldn't finish it early. More I think about it, More I couldn't understand about it. It was really hard working for me, but fortunately, I could finish it.

New Year

My New Year was not same as every year because my sister was not in Kumamoto, so my parent and grandparent went to Tokushima after we celebrate this New Year. Before New Year came, I was going to go there with my family but I couldn't because I couldn't finish many assignments last year, my brother too, so I and brother spend most of this year with my aunt. That time, I did an assignment which was about education, so I asked something about it for her because she is a elementary school teacher. That report was really difficult for me. I have to rewrite it many time, but I think my teacher was tired too because he have to sent comments for me in this New Year.

BR2-12 Super Structure

A structure is something made with many parts, like a house, school, or a bridge. It can be made of different materials like bricks, concrete, glass, wood, or metal. A super structure is very big, very long, or very tall. Tunnels go underground, or through the ground. We use tunnels for mines, trains, and road traffic, or to carry things like gas or water. Tunnels are usually made of metal and concrete. One of the longest tunnels in the world is the Seikan Tunnels in Japan. It's nearly 54 kilometers long! It goes between two islands. It was built because it's too dangerous to travel by boat. The tunnel is for trains, but now many people prefer to travel by plane..

When I went to Paris, I field how much different from structure in Japan or Paris. I think Japanese structure is focus on using it easy. For example, Japan has many Barrier-free facilities. However, when I saw the view in Paris, I field that Japanese structures don't focus on landscape, so I could enjoy just walking because it was in Paris. On the other hand, if I had been a old woman or had any handicap, I would prefer to live in Japan than Paris. In addition, I noticed that is same aspect that high-rise buildings can symbolize a success.
