last blog 15

hello today is last blog. And tomorrow is xmas eve. And winter vacation has just started. Its awesome. I wish everyone have good vacation with their family. Friends. And so on. I would stay here in Kyoto the last day of 2013. And im going to go shrine to hatsumoude in kamigamo. Im really looking forward to it and hope 2014 is also good year for us.

Anyway last blog I would love to tell you the story of dustin baby.

In a flashback, a young April is seen living with Janet and Daniel Johnson. The Johnsons' relationship is an abusive one, leading to Janet's suicide. Meanwhile, Marion goes to April's school, where she talks to April's friends, and realises that they were lied to. April then leaves Pat's home, and travels alone to Janet's grave. Marion continues to search, and, in a shopping centre, meets Elliot, who has joined her. April then visits the now abandoned Sunnyholme Children's Home, where she lived when she was younger. In a flashback, an eight-year old April lives at the Sunnyholme.

I realized that she was used to be a girl who is abandoned.

Story would become more interesting. I hope I can enjoy this book during this vacation.

Have a great vacation!

While at work at a stately home, Marion hears that April has not arrived at school. She talks to her friend and colleague Elliot, who unsuccessfully tries to dissuade her from leaving.

hello. How was your weekend? I hope it would be good for you. And xmas and winter vacation is also coming soon. It would be so fun for us. And also next year 2014 is almost coming.

The main character is the one of normal girls and her name is April.

On April's fourteenth birthday, Marion, her adoptive mother, gives her earrings, not the mobile phone she wanted. They argue, and April leaves for school.

I can share her feeling. When I was fourteenth, I also want cellphone too. So when her got present from her mother, she would be confused and irritated, I think.

Hello. Last week I finish reading the book.

I decided to read another book it is Dustbin Baby which was written  by Jacqueline Wilson. This book is just for naitve children I guess. But page is good for me to finish reading and to reach the final pages which we have to read. 300 pages. so I chose this book.

This book was also become movie recently. I have never watched this movie. But I was interested in this book’s title. What is “dustine baby”? i guess the baby would be abandoned by him or her parents.

But this story was not like that.

Hello.

This week I finished reading this book.

The page is 214 pages.

Not enough. So I have to read another book.

 

Their relationship and love was so sweet and romantic, but I liked the movie much more. In fact, I LOVED the movie and watched it before reading this. In the movie, the characters of Noah and Allie had more intensity and passion. It is one of those rare moments, for me, when the movie was better than the book.

 

There are some great quotes in this book though. These were my favourite:

 

"I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedica...more  so good quote. i like this!

Hello this story is almost finished. So good book Ive ever read.

I was so inspired by this book. What is real love?

Even my lover forgot everything (if your lover forgot even me), I can keep love with him or not. Actually my grandfather has same ill. And he can not recognize I am his grandchildren for him. so I think lots of things from this book and learned.

After she released from the hospital, Elderly Noah goes to Allie's room to find her lucid again. Allie questions Noah about what will happen to them when she loses her memory completely, and he reassures her that he will never leave her. She asks him if he thinks their love for each other is strong enough to "take them away together"; he replies that he thinks their love could do anything. After telling each other that they love one another, they both go to sleep in Allie's bed. The next morning, a nurse finds them dead in each other's arms.

hello did you guys watch sp?

I watched this show. And so impressed by this sp.

 

In the present, Allie becomes briefly lucid and remembers that the story Duke is reading is the story of how they met. It is like miracle I feel. How did you feel?

And young Allie appears at Noah's doorstep, having left Lon at the hotel. Elderly Allie suddenly remembers her past; after finding out about her illness, she herself wrote their story in the notebook with instructions for Noah to "read this to me, and I'll come back to you". But Allie soon relapses, losing her memories of Noah. So sad.

And She panics, not understanding who he is, and has to be sedated. That same night Noah is hospitalised with what seems to be another heart attack.

If I were him, I cant stand this situation.

Hello November has just started.

How fast time flies.omg

I hope this month also is good for us.

Back in the forties, Allie returns to Seabrook. She and Noah renew their relationship and make love at Noah's now, restored house, while shortly after, she becomes pregnant with Noah's child.

 

It seems the relationship became good with their children. But in the morning, Allie's mother appears on Noah's doorstep, warning Allie that a jealous Lon has followed her to Seabrook. Allie confesses to Lon that she has been spending time with Noah. He is upset but says that he still loves her. Allie tells him she knows she should be with him, but she remains indecisive.

hey guys. Autumn is so good season isn’t it?

I like this season so much.

Today I would like to explain this story after theWWⅡwas finished.

 When Noah returns home from the war, he discovers his father has sold their home so that Noah can buy the abandoned house, fulfilling his lifelong dream to buy it for the departed Allie, whom by now he hasn't seen for several years. While visiting Charleston, Noah witnesses Allie and Lon kissing at a restaurant; he convinces himself that if he restores the house, Allie will come back to him. Later, Allie is startled to read in the newspaper that Noah has completed the house, and she visits him in Seabrook.

 

In the present, it is made clear that the elderly woman is in fact Allie, who is suffering from dementia and cannot remember any of the events being read to her. Duke, the man who is reading to her, is her husband, but Allie cannot recognize him.

Hey guys.

The story is so sad isn’t it?

I actually almost cried when I watched this movie.

And the book is more sadness because we can imagine more. Character feeling.

 

Maybe allie was bothered which is the good choice to her husband noah or new man.

And this time, in the 1940s, there were no mail, cellphone, skype and line.

So it was so difficult to keep in touch with someone who lives so far.

And also their relationship was banned by her parents.

 So sad I guess.

And also allie was engaged to new man. It is like fate for her to forget noah, I feel.

hey guys.

Did you enjoy your weekend?

I hope so.

 

This week I read 60 pages.

It is good process to finish reading this book during this semester.

 

This section I read was so sad story.

Last week noah and allie had almost good relationship but her parents interpreted.

And she had to move to her real home. Because she had just spent summer vacation at local town with her family. So they live separately.

Noah and Fin enlist to fight in World War II and Fin is killed in battle. Allie becomes a volunteer in a hospital for wounded soldiers, where she meets an officer named Lon Hammond, he is a young lawyer who is handsome, sophisticated, charming and comes from old Southern money. The two eventually become engaged, to the delight of Allie's parents, but Allie sees Noah's face when Lon asks her to marry him.

Hey October has just started.

It is good season autumn to read, study and exercise.

This week I would like tell you about plot which is following last week’s.

After seeing her at a carnival (sorry last week I told you it was festival), and they share an idyllic summer love affair. Noah takes Allie to an abandoned house, which he explains that he intends to buy for her and as dream house with her.

 Later that evening, she asks him to make love to her, but they are interrupted by Noah's friend Fin with the news that Allie's parents have the police out looking for her. When Allie and Noah return to her parents' mansion, they ban her from seeing Noah, whom they called "trash, trash, trash". The two break up and the next morning, Allie's mother announces that the family is returning home to Charleston.

Hum love has started. But this time her parents banned too much to their love because of status of him. Its difficult to overcome this situation even now I guess.

blog 2

Hey. How about your first week in DWCLA?

I am little tired.

Anyway this week I read 50 pages.

I would love to tell you this story’s plot.

In Seabrook Island, South Carolina, local country boy Noah Calhoun is a main character in this book.

His family is not rich so he has to work so hard.

And his age was 17 years.

And women who noah falls love with is Allie Hamilton.

The first time when he watched her is festival.

And the season was summer.

I guess like this time can connect to love someone so easy. haha

Hello. How was your long summer vacation?

I hope everyone enjoyed your summer.

And this semester I decided to read the awesome book.

It is “the notebook”.

I guess many people this film.

The book was written by Nicholas Sparks.

The film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who fall in love during the early 1940s. Their story is narrated from the present day by an elderly man (portrayed by James Garner) telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident.

And the women forgot almost everything.

In the 1940s, there were a lot of changes in America. Like WWⅡ.

This book included this point too.

So it is also why I chose this book.

blog 15

hey girls! I finished reading this interesting book. This book has 230 pages. So I also try to read Les miserable,too. I read les miserable around 100 pages. Anyway I would like to write Princess daily.

Finally, she did do well about her princess job. I know what happen and final about story because I watched this movie many times in last active listening class. But the more I was excited, the more I read this book. I hope that like this thing come to me. Lol

I think Mia has a lot of confident about her. Because she overcame many difficulties to be a princess.  I guess she would be more beautiful than when she started writing her daily.

blog 14

Hey ladies. I would like to write mia’s one day October 13^th in add to last week.  because she wrote her future lover , Lilly’s brother , Michael. She wrote about him like this way.

“but he’s still a boy, a cute boy, even if he is Lilly’s brother. It was really hard to pay attention to subtraction when I could smell this really nice clean boy smell coming from him. I used to be.”

So she regards him as just friend. If I were him, I would like to give up her. Hum, but he does not give up and supports her secretly. I think Mia is, in fact, very happy person.

blog 13

Hi ladies! I would like to write Mia’s one day; Monday October 13^th .

She has a lot of troubles between her and her classmate Lana.

Mia has never disobeyed a student rule before and she has always been a really good kid. She wrote this in her daily by herself. So I guess she was proud of her good motivation to her class and school. And I guess that she was so kind and tend not to appeal her real feeling like mad and furious in front of many people, class and school. But this time she appears her feeling, angry. So I thought that she was really really really angry about lanas doing.

blog 12

Hi girls! This week is hot, like last week.  I tend to feel sleepier in summer. I don’t know why I feel like this. Anyway I hope that summer vacation came soon.

This week, Mia argued with her best friends. I recollected when I argued with my best friends. I think sometimes arguing is need to understand more each other. In fact, after arguing, Mia and her best friend understood more each other. And she wrote a daily in her princess daily. Actually I write daily like her. To understand what I feel and think. I wonder how many people do that thing.

blog

I read 50 pages in this week. This week is so hot and I almost tired of this summer.lol

This week Mia took a lot of lessons so she faced a lot of troubles.

I can understand her feeling when we have to do and face a lot of new things, we always feel nervous and negative.

Actually last spring, I entered this college, I felt same feeling. Especially I wanted to go back my hometown. So I think that many young girl and women are able to feel same feeling like Mia. When I read this book, I can think again what I am. So this book is my favorite book!

blog 9 ( total 10)

The most beautiful girl , her name is lana, tries to get along with her more. Because she loves the same person who Mia loves. so I guess she tries to find what is her good points. And she wants to be more famous not just in high school. Thus she tries to do like this thing because there are a lot of TV announcers and cameramans near Mia. If I were Mia, I would never become trust and believe people easer. When I read this story, basically I envy her position and positive changes. But I sometimes feel she has also negative changes by other people.

Blog 8 (total 9)

Mia has been revealed what is her real position. So throng among her, especially her classmates( not friends ) try to get along with her. Because of her position. The most beautiful girl in her high school also tries to get along with her. So her was little embaraced by throng acting. It can be said for her closeest friend: Lily. Sometimes they argue about why mia did hide what is real position. I can little understnd what lily feel. Lily would miss and feel sad. Because she thought real mia almost gone, I guess. So she was also embaracced by Mia’s position.

blog 7

Mia and her grandmother hide what real her position is.

But her grandmother’s hair artist tells what her real position for many people is.

So she was involved in many troubles.

Whenever she goes to high school, there are so many people who want to watch her and ask anything about her.

If I were her, I would be likely to go to high school. Because she has to attend how they looks and think about her.  It would very stressful everyday regardless she is a normal high school student.  How terrible it would be. I wouldn’t able to stand this situation.

Blog 6

Mia had very a lot of changes for her appearance. She changed her hairstyle and don’t wear glasses by grandmothers orders. So many students were confused and rumored about her.

I think a lot of changes bring not only many good points but also bad points. I think mia gets cuter than before. But her high school classmate made rumor and tease her new hairstyle. So sometimes she got nerves. I can understand her feeling. Whenever I changed hairstyle, I always feel nerves lol

Because I think about how my friends think about my new hairstyle. Good or not good?

 

Hairstyle is very important for many high school students, I think.

Blog 5

Hi everyone. I read 100 pages in this week.

Hum I think this book is really good for thinking again what I am.

 

As I wrote in last blog, mia doesn’t have self-confidence.

But her grandmother teach important thing: polite, working, studying and so on for being princess.

 

I think its connect to raise herself- confidence.

Self-confidence is very important for all people.

If we have self-confidence, we can speak in front of people aggressively.

And also it connects to everything and life.

When people have confidence, we can think everything so kindly , I guess.

 

So I try to get self confidence as Mia!

Hi what did you do this weekend?

I should have written one article in last week. Sorry…

 

Hum, I would love to write more detail about this story. In last article, I wrote Mia doesn’t have self-confidence. So she cannot talk with the boy very well who Mia loves, Josh Richter. I think he is one of the outstanding students. And she has good friend. Her name is Lily. She has brother, his name is Michel. Mia is little fed up with Lily’s suggestion. But she cannot say anything about that. And Mia’s mother has relationship with Mia’s teacher. If I were Mia, I cannot and don’t want and never allow my mother have relationship with my teacher and scream!!! Lol

i changed my reading boook because of vocabularies >.< hehehe

next book is the princess diaries !

I think this book is very popular for many people.

because we watched this movie for active listening class (only regular class? I dont know it in detail)

But i love this movie and i watched it many times.

this movie gives me power and makes me aggressive.

so i would like to introduce in detail from now :)

the main character in this book is Mia who is high school student.

(So we are close age with her! )

And I think she doesn’t have any self-confidence. At all!!!!

So many times she uses negative phrase.

Don’t don’t don’t….

Les miserable 2

Hi~~

Did you enjoy your Golden week? I went to back my hometown and worked.

So I read just a little sentence in this week.

But I already learned so many vocabularies and culture by this book.

 

This story concerns to French Revolution. So there are many vocabularies which concern the background and culture in this era. And I was also able to learn in detail what was happen in this era about historical things. It sounds difficult.

Of course many times reading this book makes me sleepy and boring because of unfamiliar and difficult vocabularies. But I recommend this book for everyone who read my blog.

Because we are able to learn English while we learn culture and history about French.

 

It sounds perfect =)

By next article, I would like to read a lot and enjoy this story J

Thank you for reading~~

Les miserables 1

I am reading an interesting book, which is Les Miserables written by Victor Hugo. This story is about 1810s to 1830s in France. This time is just the French Revolution. In this winter, Les Miserables was pictured and many people have been impressed by this movie. And this movie is also played many times. But I don’t have opportunity to read this famous book and watch the movie and play. So I decided to read this book for reading class’s assignment.

 

I don’t read so many pages, so I am not able to write this story in detail. But I am so looking forward to reading more pages everyday~~

 

Is there someone who watched this movie or play?

I'm lookig for your comment! :)
