stories of ponies


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. They couldn’t perform well all of the races. Especially they were bad in the flag race. When they were waiting on start line there was loud noise. A balloon burst. Then Magic jumped fence. 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.
Finally, the littlest pony. Sally was the smallest rider at the riding school. Marco was her brother and he was always teasing her about her size. Sugar was Sally’s pony and she could only ride Sugar. She was the smallest pony and she was pregnant pony. One day Sally left her grazing and she went to stable yard for cleaning. After that she backed where left Sugar, but there was not there. She found sugar in bushes. But the bushes were very tangled. Sugar was in there to eat apples. Now her halter was caught on a branch and she couldn’t move. Fortunately Sugar had small body, so she could into the bushes and helped her. 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)

toy story


Andy is a kid who likes toys. Woody is the toy which is liked the most by Andy. There are a lot of toys in Andy's room. And the toys have a secret. They move when humans are not around. Andy doesn't know that. It is their secret.
Woody is the oldest toy of Andy's but Andy likes Woody. Among the toys, he is the leader of the toys. He is very funny and bright. He felt anxiety about Andy's birthday. A new toy will be given to Andy, so he will be crazy about the new one, Woody thought. And the new one's name is Buzz Lightyear.
Buzz Lightyear is a new production and his catchphrase is the words "To infinity and beyond". If you push a button you can hear that. He believes he can really fly but in fact, he can't. He is pretty.
When Buzz Lightyear came to Andy's room, Woody and Buzz Lightyear fought and they fell out from Andy's room. They tried to get back to Andy's house. Then Sid found them. Sid is a boy who likes to injure and reconstruct toys. Toys are afraid him. Woody and Buzz Lightyear were caught by the Sid.
The way on back to Andy's room, they became friends. Finally they could return to Andy's room. Andy likes his toys equally. Woody's anxiety was not necessary.
This is a pretty movie. I like Buzz Lightyear the best because I like his expression full of confidence. I want to be a confident man like him. (260)

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)
