The longest gap between posts (which posts, and how long was the gap):

It was difficult for me to do the collavorative essay because I had to work with my friend though we did not have enough time to share, acutually. But we did our best. I also learnt it is very important to have pharagraphs to write a essay or paper things like that.
Many book reviews of every week were also a bit hard for me,too because I have much homework every day, so I did not have time to read books very much. Yet, every teacher says "to read book is really important", so I dicided to do that, for myself.

comment:
However I can't use the computer very well, I enjoyed blogging and looking friend's blogs. Every people made their uniqe and wonderful blogs! Then, I was really glad to get comments from my friends.
I am going to study abroad in the U.S.(Montana State University) from this summer for 1 year, so this class will be quite useful, for sure. I want to be able to write faster, so I will continue to write here about my life(like 十分は十分) from now on.
Thank you very much.

too short vacation...

At last, a short winter vacation had finished and school have started. I enjoyed it very much , so I feel it was too short to me.
Now I long for spring vacation! Unfortunately, before that, we have to finish the final exam!

book 14

Dairy of Anne Frank is a really impressive to me. I read it for the first time when I was 13 years old and I tried to read it in English this time.
People all over the world are able to see what life as a persecuted Jew was like during World War II; thus gaining an appreciation for the sacrifices people made in the struggle to stay alive. Anne Frank did not become famous until after her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and after the liberation of all concentration camps. Otto Frank, the only surviving member of the people hiding in the Secret Annex, later had Anne's dairy published.

We do have to hope world peace. I would like everyone to read this.

book 13


The title is "In Cold Blood".

This is so disturbing book, but interesting one, I think.
The author, Truman Capote wrote “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
Murders of Herbert Clutter, a wealthy farmer from Holcomb, Kansas; his wife, Bonnie; his 16-year-old daughter, Nancy; and his 15-year-old son, Kenyon, and the aftermath. Capote said that he had created a new type of book, the non-fiction novel, by applying traditional literary conventions to crime reporting.

book 12


Moby-Dick is a novel by Herman Melville in 1851. The novel describes the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, led by Captain Ahab, who leads his crew on a hunt for the whale Moby-Dick. The language is highly symbolic and many themes run throughout the work. The narrator's reflections, along with complex descriptions of the grueling work of whaling and personalities of his shipmates, are woven into a profound meditation on society, nature, and the human struggle for meaning, happiness, and salvation. Moby-Dick is often considered the epitome of American Romanticism.
I watched this film at my literature class. It was great.

book 11




The title is "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
This is very famous name of bland.
It's a very romantic love story about two people who find happiness in the crazy, mixed-up world we live in.
George Peppard plays Paul Varjak, a writer who has to earn his living through a wealthy socialite, Patricia Neal, as her "kept" man. Audrey, who plays Holly Golightly, is a gold-digging call girl, who is looking for the right rich man to marry. Though you would think these two would be unflattering characters, they are both very charming and put on phony personas (especially in Holly's case) in order to survive.
I want to wacth film, too!
