BR2-8 : Rumpelstiltskin

Once upon a time, there was a miller.(p.3)

     I thought the little man is so mean but I don't like the king more than little man because he wanted much money and wanted to be a rich man. In this story, a clever girl lived happy but I hate him! He used her father, of course the miller should not tell a lie but the king missed a lot of things. After reading, I talked about this book with my friend and then she said same thing too. She hate the king too!

In this story the king said "Turn straw into gold" she put her head in her hands and cried. Then appear the little man. His name is Rmpelstiltskin, very difficult name. This is key word!!
I think that the clever girl was lucky girl, if the little man didn't appear maybe her father will die for telling lies. That's too bad. So, she was happy. However I don't like this story!

W9 : My favorite flower


      My favorite flower is Kasumisou (English name is baby's breath, it is good name!), do you know it? Their flower was so beautiful. My grandfather and grandmother used to produce and sell it that is why I like it. Baby's breath is pure white color, they often use supporting things. So some people don't know that how beautiful this flower is. When I was child, I often help my grandfather and grandmother's jobs. Wake up early and open the hothouse, they were pleased and it made me happy too. When I see this flower, I remember that memory. My grandmother said to me, "Beautiful flower need help, Kasumisou was need by many flowers. It makes them more beautiful." I learned it is important to support other people. Now, my grandfather and grandmother were gone but I remember them with the Kasumisou.

W8 : My favorite dessert

  
   My favorite dessert is ice cream, it is made of milk, cream and sugar, sometimes combined with fruits or flavors. I like Baskin Robbins (31 ice cream company), do you know it? The shop has many kind of ice creams, for example pumpkin, cola or apple pie like that! It is awesome! I like to eat it in winter. I eat ice cream at the KOTATSU the best. Of course, I like to eat in summer too. Now, I go part time job and sometimes I make a dessert and I see many ice cream. Then I want to eat! Just between you and me, I eat it when the owner go outside. I want to eat ice cream every day but I know that it is not good for my health. Winter is coming soon, my ice cream time start!

Movie Review 3 - Kung Fu Panda


     The fat panda's name is Po, he is fan of the Furious Five and Kung Fu. His dream is becoming like the Furious Five but he works in a noodle shop with his father. Po did not say that he liked Kung Fu to his father because his father wants Po to run the noodle shop. He didn’t want a life of only selling noodles. Po is kind so he could not say that but it is right? Nobody knows that. Po hates his life, he wanted to change himself.  When he worried about the future, Master Oogway said that you are too concerned with what was and what will be. I like this line. I’m worry about my life and sometimes I can’t understand what is the right way for me. Oogway kept saying that “yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” I watched this movie with friend, without realizing it, we nodded! How nice this line is! When I am concerned too much, I often want to cry but is it fun? The answer is No. I felt that if I believe myself, I can have a stronger heart. Maybe, the movie staff wants to tell us about it. In the last action scene, Po realized the true meaning of strength. There is nothing in the secret note, just can see our own face. The secret that everyone wants to know was simple things. We already have it and we didn’t notice yet. We just believe our self. Po doesn’t have strong muscle, sharp fangs, long arms and legs. But he became strong.

 Believing in myself is difficult for me now, but someday I want to like myself. Then I will get like his strong heart. Too many comparisons with other people is not good, you have better things in yourself. I learned from this movie. Po is the real Dragon Warrior. I want everyone to watch this movie. After watching, maybe they will get something.
