The animals which hate him are very few. So it is natural that he could succeed. If we do something that making someone happy, we will be helped. And, we will be able to be happy. We can learn it by this Robin Food.

This movie is Robin Food(2010), which was derectered by Ridley Scott in 2010. This is a collaborated movie of America and England. Russell Ira Crowe played the lead and it’s the 148-minites movie, a live action film. This have its setting in medieval England.

The main characters are Robin Longstride, Marion Loxley, William Marshal and Godfrey. In late 12th century, Robin was soldier with bow under King Richard. King Richard died in the war, in addition to his so-in-low, Robert was assassinated. Robin went to Nottingham to achieve the last word of Robert. Robin arrived at Nottingham, he met Walter who is Robert’s father and Marian who is Robert’s wife. And then, Richard’s brother, Jon became a king in Nottingham. But because of fear that expropriation of domain to having no successors, Robin was asked to stay as Robert in Nottingham. While, Jon brought on kickback of croeds due to Godfrey come over behind back of France. It caused erupt into a civil war. In the result, England fighted French army. After hard fighting, Robin won.

This movie shows us what is justice. Robin who has a high psych and a muscular body, he is truly ‘’justice’’. There was a real war of the time. Sure, there were backstabbings, backstairs intrigues and death. And this movie’s highlight is Robin’s valiant good showing and massive action scenes. They weared armor, ride horse and fighting. Especially, attack with bow was appeared Robin’s makeup. And as for Robin, his denotation is bow. There were some battle scene, was used solds or axes but a lot of scenes with bow was used and was proud. In the last scene, where Robin draw a bow to Godfrey, it was seemed to become strained and it was memorable. Also this movie shows us woman’s strength. At that time, woman were far from thier tough fight or declaration of intent image. But in this movie, It’s a rare like woman, Marian joined a fighting. When she offered a commitment, joined a fighting, so she is as a strong woman. Its her strength made her bright than anything.

How did you like it? “Tom and Jerry Robin Hood His Merry Mouse” appear Tom and Jerry on this movie. After all Tom and Jerry didn’t get along with, but they did help each other to catch bad people. Tom always don’t catch to Jerry. It will catch to Jerry isn’t it?

Robin Hood of Disney appear fox on this movie. The central character is fox. There is love scene and battle scene. There isn’t love scene on Tom and Jerry Robin Hood His Merry Mouse, but there is love scene on Robin Hood. You will be able to see different taste.

Essay prep. for Robin Hood reviews

I watched a movie of Robin Hood(2010). The movie was serious and fighting story. There were fighting among England and France. Robin is soldier who can use bow of England. By chance he went Nottingham to gave Walter the sold. Robin is strong sense of justice and his face was very though than I thought. This work show me bravery. It is not only mans's it but woman's it. I felt that backstabbing is inseparable from fighting. Revenge is, too. Robin was cool, but Marien is too. Despite she is woman, she was gallant. She joined the fighting and braved enemy. Robin allowed to she joined fighting. The time, I thought woman was come down.

My speaking questionnare

We did a questionnaire about diet. Today, we talk about result of a questionnaire and what we know by it.

1.    Have you try ever diet?

     First, this is a graph indicating the percentage of people who have been done diet.

We thought that most of people have been done diet but only about half of people have done it. By gender, about half of girls have been done diet and most of boys have been done it. I was surprised that only half of girls have been it. I thought it’s because slender girls or girls who have never been gained weight have not to do diet. There were some people who don’t diet in real but be conscious of avoid being fat.

2.    How many times have you try ever diet?

Next, about number of times on diet, more than half of experiencer of diet have been it more than three times. The rest are one or two times. I think because they have no success with diet, there are many people who have been diet more than three times.

3(4). How long have you kept diet?

     And then, about time keeping diet, more than one month is the most, second is less than one week and more than three months. I thought most of people are less than one week but many people have kept diet more than one week or three months. In fact, person who have no success with diet have to continue it, so I thought how long keep doesn’t matter.

4(6). How many down weight?

     About how many down weight, the top answer is about 3kg. Second is 0 or about 5kg. There were a few people, including who go down weight about 10kg. Everyone may think person go down weight 10kg is the most great, but It ain't necessarily so. It is difficult that slender person from the beginning go down weight, but fat person can be easy to go down weight than slender.

My report of ''Last of Mohican''

I was interested in nature and brutality of The Last of the Mohicans. The beauty of many in this work

Nature appears new. In addition, a lot of the brutality of such dispute as contrasted to such nature occurs too. And, I have to express a lot of things in the natural in this story.

Allowed to emphasize the brutality, nature represents the feelings. Things like guns and brutality are merely contrast to nature, respectively, are each other to emphasize each other. The forest mysterious wide rich and brings out brutality of conflict, the misery, I have made it a more vain. In this story, there were many scenes that nature depicted heart. For example, when Nathaniel goes to the directions Alice us, it was a bright forest, such as air is clear, such as representing the love and hope of our Alice. However, where the British Army is surrounded in Huron, as if scared naturally though, uneasiness such that what British troops are in the way I opened surrounded by forests and overgrown dark nature was fueled distrust. Fear even when Nathaniel we are being chased by Huron in a cave behind the waterfall, in a dark image of the cave, that's caught up in enemy is increasing. I think that when Alice jumped off a cliff, spectacular nature gave me rather than herself as well, and those that represent a natural depth of love psychology and Alice. That tall steep mountain road has emphasized the force of battle bravery of Uncas-headed alone to help Cora and Alice, and the depth of the hatred of Chingachgook to fight Magua. What contrasting darkness and nature, the same is true also of Native American, two Magua and Nathaniel. Nature is inseparable from life for two persons. Beautiful nature is telling the love for their hometown. Image of natural Nathaniel received may represent the spirit and rich lofty, but more cruelty that has been highlighted by natures, that is Magua is darkness, it is the darkness that has been highlighted by Nathaniel. They would so much different, yet the same Native American is emphasize the difference more natural effect.

Located just close to human nature and nature speak for themselves human psychology. The darkness that covers it with nature, is not only the important elements that make up the The Last of the Mohicans, the important meaning to support the theme of the work is also given. Respectively, is shown symbolically good and evil, by looking at natures, lessons logical, psychological, and dark nature, get the truth. Magua you do not have to say Nathaniel that far from feelings spirit that has the belief and confidence, it is not shaken, skeptical, cruel manner, and darkness, this two people is a symbol of darkness and nature of this work. These two people are symbolic, even Native American at that time, there has been image of barbaric violent, and those who do not even have that thing. It can be said from this symbol, and breathed new wind like put the image of the good also Native American.

Reflection on my writing so far this semester

I learned about many things in this class. I did some brainstorming, made outlines and wrote essays about university life. First, I wrote essay by myself. Next, not by myself but I did it by pair. I commented my classmate's blog about text of essay. I had to comment with question or my opinion. So it was difficult that I commented poor essays. And then, I received many explanations especially how to use computer. It is adding links to my blog, making drive and sharing it. About drive, I made proto-portfolios, my bibliography and my essays. Because of explanations like that, I thought that I had learned to use some workings. And, in this class, there were many submitted homework which are about book reviews, typing and essays.

My report of ''Pigmalion''

"Pygmalion" is a drama of George Bernard Shaw, which was premiered in 1913.In this work, it can be said that from his own experience in from Ireland, criticism of the class system of Bernard Shaw only has been treated. Problems with language will be able to stand out among them. I want to take up in connection with what is surrounding the class. At a high level, and linguist Higgins is a genius of phonetics daughter Eliza selling flowers, and shed Hometown anyone from the speech, I met some freak coincidence, and stormed into his house, this work is a way of speaking of lady ask to me to Professor. Begins-rich experiment in spirit dwell in her home, to correct the utterance ghetto her. Then it is spoken Eliza that could be seen as a lady at the party. First, Begins is a linguist can be shed from the land of the people from the words that people speak, but at that time, this means that you had a close relationship language, class, and region. I think sometimes stage of this story is that London, class issues and language that said they had seen many. Two cock - the word has been used in this work but this term is considered to be both a local dialect, the poor, without education in general, and low status from. This word was used as symbolically, in this work, and probably wanted to tell criticism of class and also words. Begins Professor is a high status to teach manners and words used to Eliza. This means that those of high social status know the education, but I think I suspect that means that those of low status, such as Eliza do not know education. In addition, in order to raise tailoring to the lady Eliza, Begins Professor changed the look of her clothes and hairstyles and first. High-grade dress, accessories, it just only, once you have from people who see her for the first time, she was like a lady at all. This thing, a thing called class can be said that could determine just looks. Further, it was able to be a lady Eliza that was transformed with only changing the word to use, would be to say that the language may be similar appearance. It is Eliza who can be seen with stunning lady, but look at the Pickering and Colonel Begins Professor, his is a doll made by the professor, now the bet is over, but to keenly aware that there is no place for him here is not obtained, and go out of the house of Professor. This represent class was covered up have no meaning. It can be said that as described above, those separate classes are sometimes referred to as just words and apparel. This is, would not that Bernard wanted to tell the most. Why were able to separate the words class and it looks just good. I think it's the strongest part of the criticism of class society of Bernard.

My report of ''Romeo and Juliet''

Story two people who fell in love forbidden that follows the tragic fate At a high level.

Romeo and Juliet was born in Capulets and Montague hostile to each other. Romeo confesses love with love at first sight to Juliet, but I did not know that Juliet is a Capulet house at that time. But Romeo loved Juliet even after coming to know the facts. Two people will be reciprocal love them. It is forbidden love exactly. It is the love of these two people, a profound change in the fight of both families.

It was forbidden, but conflict of both families will violently for, Makyushio is a close friend of Romeo was killed. Hatred to Capulets gradually have increased, Romeo kills Juliet's cousin who killed Makyushio. Juliet show disgust for Romeo to hear it, and doubt the Romeo, people that I loved and Nante kill a human, but still of that was able to love the Romeo, and because there was a great love also so think.

It was a clan hostile to each other, but two people would have been torn to. If it is not forbidden love, that two people are torn, or you can become dire consequences also would have been no. A thing called love is forbidden rocked big the fate of two people, I have made it even more be sad. In order to coordinate the misery of the last two people both of Romeo and Juliet that will die, Shakespeare might have been the thing forbidden. If you love living in openly around, never would have been two people passing each other, to die misunderstood. By adding the image of abstinence, show a bigger love of two people more, and have made it tragic. It created a thing that everyone does not want that two of Romeo and Juliet die, you have betrayed it beautifully. People than just to see this story, vain, it is only with the tragic sadness.

You betrayed people's imagination, Shakespeare was impressed the impact of the work to the people. I myself was shocked to this work, and this story has gone burned firmly on the head. And he is also such a sad love, Shakespeare might have been appealed to the people.
