I recommend aiko. Do you know her? Her music fits the rain I think. (136)

Story of chocolate

I read “Story of chocolate” this time. Now, almost of all the people have eaten a chocolate but it wasn’t the sweet one in old age. The first chocolate drinkers were farmers who lived by the rainforest in central America. Monkeys liked the white pulp in the cocoa, and spat out the bitter beans that were in the middle. The farmer tried to eat the beans, but it was too bitter to eat. The beans smell was so good so he tried to drink it by hot water. It was good, but bitter too. Hundreds of years later, Spanish explorer set out with an army to fight with the people. After many battles, the emperor wanted to make peace, and then the people gave chocolate to him. He liked it very much. After that chocolate got used be a famous drink, but it was drink one not eat one. And it was bitter drink too. A lot of person developed new types of chocolates. Add sugar, milk, nuts, and marshmallows and so on. We can eat them easily now. I like chocolate very much. But I didn’t know how it birth, and grown. I could learn from this book. The first chocolate was drink type, it was bitter but it had sweet flavor. Chocolate was mysterious material. (217)

Mask

This movie includes some element comedy, love story, action, and so on. I like Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. Jim Carrey act Grinch. His body color is green too in this movie.
Mask is a funny movie. Especially, Mask's expression is funny. The computer graphic makes it possible. Stanley is a tender person but he is timid. One day at his bank he met Tina Carlyle who is the singer of a night club, and he got to like her. Tina had a boy friend whose name Dorian. He was a gang and he was planning to attack Stanley's bank.
Dorian made her check the arrangement. After his work, Stanley was out from his work place. On the way his back to home he found an old mask near a liver and he picked it. He got to his home, and tried to get on it. It stuck to his face like a rubber and then a tornado was happened.
He was changed to the man who has green face and wearing yellow suits. And his character changed too. And he was in good humor too. It is Mask man. He could do everything. He did what he had wanted to do. After that day he became aware it was true what he did that day before. Out of the fear he decided to trough away.
He found out Dorian was planning to attack the bank. He picked up the mask again and stopped his attack. Stanley told to Tina he is the mask man. Finally she got to like his tenderness.
If I got the mask, I would be bad man. I would use it just what I want to do. So I shouldn't get the mask. I don't like yellow suits and green face.(299)

I read “the stories of robots” this time. This book is consisted of two chapters. First story is the terrible Tidybot. Luke was a lazy boy and he hadn’t cleaned his room. He was always playing computer game. His mother got angry and said to him if he wouldn’t clean his room, she would pick his game out. He couldn’t live without his game. But cleaning his room would take forever. He searched some cleaning company on his computer, but all of them were too expensive. Then he found an interesting advertisement. That was cleaning robot called Tidybot. If he didn’t like that robot he could back it with no money. He decided to clean his room with this robot. Just under a week later, Tidybot arrived Luke’s house. He opened the box, and turned on the controller. Tidybot started to clean the room. He worked well, and Luke’s room was cleaned up. Then Luke stepped on the controller. Tidybot got crazy, he didn’t answer for Luke’s command. He massed up Luke’s house. I don’t need cleaning robot because my room is not large so I can clean with my own. My room is tidy.

Mission impossible

I watched this movie first time. It was very interesting movie.
Ethan belonged to IMF which is spy organization. The leader Jim told them what they did that time. Their task was to catch Golitsyn who stole the data of CIA. They started moving. They entered the embassy and they found him. Their strategy was success first, but that was failed. Ethan’s team Jack, Sarah, Hannah was dead, Jim and Golitsyn too.
Ethan blamed himself, and he decided to find the real criminal. He met Kittridge who is CIA crew. Then Kitteridge told him this task was not real one and it was to find informer in IMF. And he doubted Ethan because he was the only survivor. He escaped from there, and he got back his home. Then a lady has come whose name Clear and he was Jim’s wife. He thought she was dead too. He acted with her.
they got new crews Kriegaer and Luther. They decided to enter CIA and tried to get NOC data. There was hard security. They managed to get NOC data. After got that data, he negotiated with Max who wanted that data and had a lot of money. Ethan decided the place where they trade, and he knew the real criminal would appear there.
The real criminal was Jim. This movie had a lot of tricks. I thought Clare was good person but it was not true. Jim was IMF leader but he was the criminal. He had a lot of enemies. If I were him I hadn’t lived because I’m not smart like him, I don’t have power like him. And I’m not handsome like him. I want his face!! (289)

I read “The stories of ponies”. This book is consisted of three chapters. First, pony Magic, second the naughtiest pony, finally the littlest pony.
Magic is a nervous pony. She didn’t like sudden noises. Molly is a girl who keeps Magic. She was determined to try show race of ponies. There were dressing-up race, the box race and the flag race.

She didn’t like sudden noises. They were disqualified. Molly’s dad was seeing her jump and he recommended Molly to try to the jump contest. Molly didn’t know how to do this contest, but Magic could beautiful jumps. They won. I learned everyone has some goodness from this story.
Second chapter is the naughtiest pony. Rascal was a naughty pony. Becky was her keeper. I’ll introduce you how naughty he was. He ate flowers, pull the knot undone etc. Becky lived with her aunt Elspeth. They rode sometimes. After the riding aunt Elspeth started her car and told Becky that she was going to buy more hay. Becky was washing Rascal’s saddle. Then there was squeal of breaks. Rascal was standing on street. Aunt Elspeth got angry and said to Becky “why didn’t you shut the gate of the field!” in loud voice. But she did in fact. Rascal was the naughtiest pony. She opened the gate.

After that, they backed their home, and Sugar gave birth to foal. The foal was named Spice. If sally hadn’t had such a small body, she couldn’t help Sugar and Spice. I learned we can change minus to plus from this chapter. (409)

Stories of giants

I read “The stories of giants”. This book is considered of two chapters.
The first story is a good giant called a troll which has green body. Jon and his father worked hard in fields in the spring and the summer. In the autumn, they went to down to the sea to fish. As his father was too old so he couldn’t to the fish trip. Jon went to the sea alone the first time. His father warned John don’t stoop when you see the big rock. John’s trip started. The storm blew all night that day after landing. He found a cave nearby a big rock. He forgotten his father’s warning and he wanted to rest. He decided to shelter there. When he was asleep, he could hear the baby’s voice from the cave. He was so scared the voice said “we’re hungry”. So he threw his foods to the cave, and the voice stopped. For a while he felt asleep. Then something big appeared in front of him. It was a giant!! He said to the giant don’t him. But it was a kind giant. She welcomed him to the cave and let sleep him. After that meeting, his trip changed to a lot of good things. He could get many fishes and could get treasure gold.
The second story is three wicked giants and how they met a grisly end. Three giants were eating dinner in the forest. The hunter whose name Sam was watching the giants and he fired with his gun. One of the giant injured and got angry. I think it was natural because they didn’t do anything. The giants caught Sam and they requested him to let them meet the princess. The giants took him to the castle. They couldn’t enter the castle because they were too big to enter. So the giants thought had Sam enter and took the princess. Sam entered the castle. Then felt in love to the princess. He wanted to save the princess and he found a golden cup written “Drink this and you’ll save the princess with the magic sword. There was the sword beside the cup. He drank it and pulled the sword. He got power and fought with the giants. He won. After that he married the princess. ….is this happy end!? Why three giants were killed!? Did they do something bad!? I don’t like this story, but funny. (407)

Titanic

This is a sad story. I have watched it twice. The cast is Leonardo Dicaprio as Romeo Montague, Claire Canes as Juliet Capulet and John Leguizamo as Tybalt Capulet.
Montague and Capulet have been fighting. Romeo is the son of the Montague family and Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet family. One day Romeo stole into a party, and then he saw the beautiful lady and it was Juliet. She was the daughter of Capulets but Romeo fell in love with her. The night after the party Romeo and Juliet swore their love to each other. Although she had a fiance which was decided by their father, they went to church and got married.
Later some trouble happened. Tybalt, who is one of the members of the Capulet family killed Mercutio who is a friend of the Montagues and Romeo’s friend. Romeo got angry and killed Tybalt. Romeo was banished from town, and Juliet heard that and she was bitterly disappointment. Then Laurence, who is a Franciscan and Romeo’s confidant, made a proposal. He was going to explain the suggestion to Romeo with letter.
The suggestion is that Juliet takes medicine and pretends that she died, but the medicine is to make an apparent death not a real death and after using this medicine, Romeo and Juliet could go together to another town. But this strategy didn’t work because Romeo heard about her death and went to her grave before he read the letter.
Unfortunately, he saw her apparent death face and he thought she was really dead. He killed himself with poison. After his death she woke up and looked him, she killed herself too. (265)

school of rock

Movie review 2 School Of Rock

I watched “school of rock”. It’s a movie about a rock band’s guitarist and his students. Dewey Finn didn’t have job, any license, and what thing he wants to do, but only music, especially rock and roll. He lived in his friend’s house with his friend Ned and his friend’s girlfriend. He didn’t have a job, so he couldn’t pay for the rent. His friend’s Ned couldn’t tell him about it, because they are friends. Ned's girl friend told Dewey to pay the money. That’s why he was in situation where he had to work. One day a call came, it was a call from an elementary school to Ned. Finn caught the phone and pretended to be Ned. This is the start of this movie.
Of course he can’t teach anything to the students. But music is his strong point. School of Rock. The students got crazy for music. Finally, they attended a contest, but they lost. This movie includes a lot of good music. He taught us "Do what you want".
I think I am normal man, I think Finn is an abnormal man. He is an adult in age, but he is a kid in mind. If I were him, I would work. If I caught the telephone from the elementary school, I would say “Ned is not here now.” He is abnormal, but he makes us happy. After watching this movie, my mind gets clear and refreshing. I like Jack Black. I don’t think he is not cool in figure, but he is so cool. Have you watched "holiday"? If you have not yet, I recommend you to watch it.　（260）

Shrek

Movie Review 1 Shrek
Kuniaki Tanoue
The other day, I watched Sreck. Shrek is an ogre, he is very strong and eats strange foods like frog and mouse. Donkey is a donkey’s name. But he is not just a donkey. He can speak, and he is very funny. He decided to follow Shrek. Shrek said "leave me alone ", but Donkey didn't think what Shrek said is real. Fiona is a princess. She is very strong too like Shrek, and beautiful. But she has a big secret. When night comes, she changes ogre, like Shrek.
She couldn’t talk about this secret to Shrek, because she thought Shrek would dislike her when he knows this fact. Fiona knows how to be real herself. The way is to kiss with her true love. She kissed with Shrek, and gets her true apperance. It’s an ogre. But she is the most beautiful lady for Shrek. It was a happy ending. If I were in this movie, I would be so afraid Shrek, because he has a green body, strange ears and a big mouth. But he is a very warm ogre. Just Donkey understands it. Donkey is very funny, and has a strong mind. Whenever he was told the wrong things from Shrek, he returns the answer with joke. I want to be like Donkey. And he has a funny voice. If I said "I don't like you" or "go over there" I may not be able to keep my friends. In comparison with me, Donkey has a big mind. I want to be like him, but not a donkey. (253)

Maybe this year will be happy year for me because I could climb 3333 steps and I got capital luck in omikuji. (88)
