NARNIA

Lucy was the first person in their sisters who opened the door to Narnia. However no one believed her story of that at first. I excited when I imagined that if I could go to Narnia from my closet. I wanted to watch this movie after I've read this book because there were little words in this book. Fortunately, I found the news that I could watch this movie in TV program, so I recorded that soon. However, I didn't watch that yet but I can watch that whenever I want to watch it.

What Is the World Made Of?

We can devide all of the things into three groups of Solids, Liquids, Gases. That is the natural but I was impressed by that. However, if the things were different, we would have troubles. For example, if the desks were the liquids of gases, we couldn't put textbooks and write the words. Some accomplished facts were written in this book, so I'm hard to broaden my opinion from this book though the pictures were so cute. However, I noticed that I didn't care about the facts in my daily life. Therefore, I felt that those things were little fresh for me. In addition, I learned that there are many interesting points and views in which we don't see in our daily life from this book. We gradually know various kinds of things with our growth. I think that is good, but that may cause an emotionless heart. In addition, I think the knowledge is important but the excitement is also important. I want to treasure my impressive experiences from my daily life and I also want to broaden sensibility for various kinds of things which lead me to good way. I think that to watch the fundamentals of various things to the end is important too because sometimes the arrangement or lie may pertain, or we may misunderstand to them. I felt this book might be childish for me when I borrow, but I could notice and remember important ideas, so I thought prejudice narrowed our view. I thought I couldn't write many sentence by this book, but I could write to my aim, so I relieved.

Frog and Toad All Year

I had read this book in Japanese when I was elementary school student. I think I couldn't understand this content enough at that time, but today I thought this one was interesting book. Frog and Toad are friends, and Frog is a stable but Toad is little lazy. Toad likes sleeping in the winter, but Frog invites him to go various place. The cycle of the seasons are written in this book too, so they experienced many happenings. My favorite story is about "Ice cream". I alsp liked an illustration about that story because I felt that illustration brought me back old memories. Then I found that there were many illustrations of nature in each section. I enjoied those things too. They lived like human. For example, they have home and clean their garden. In addition, they wear clothes. However, they are smaller then the other animals like rabbits or squirrels or wolves, so I thought their houses and clothes were so small. They actually hibernate during the winter, but two character in this book are so active, especially Frog is. Perhaps, soem of real frogs may do like them. They cooperate with each other when they have some troubles, so they have been good friend for a long time though their character are so different. I learned the important thing from them. If there are other series of this book, I want to read them. By the way, I want to eat ice-cream now because they were eating with relish.

A Girl Named Helen Keller

Helen Keller had been born about 100 years before I was born. As many people know, she was deaf and blind. I knew about her from drama and book when I was an elementary school student. I was surprised about that at that time. I knew that there were deaf or blind, but I didn't know the person who couldn't see and hear neither. In addition, that is so hard to live more than what we expect. In fact, it seems that her character when she was young was so wild, and her parents were hard to take care of her. However, one day a key person appeard. Her name is Anne Sullivan. We can't tell about Helen Keller's life without her. They would live with each other after 50 years. She is famous of a teacher who teach words and so on to Helen, and the word which broke through their conflict was "water". This story is so famous too. She let her hand touch water and feel the sence of that. Helen's parents thought Sullivan's education to Helen was so strict, but I think that was the affection to Helen from Sullivan. Helen learned to read and write and even to speak. In addition, she went to school and graduated with honors. I didn't know about that and I was so surprised. I thought her difficulties were desperate but she had accomplished many things as similarly to us. She wrote 5 books and visited various countries and met king and the President. I thought we didn't have limitation any more.

However, she had some presposterous ideas each time. For example, when she work at clothes shop, her superior asked her to be shorten to some skirts by sewing. However, she cut down all of them. That's why the superior became angry and dismissed Amelia. Her idea had just humor but I think it's hard to work with like her. However, I admired her strength because she never lost hope in spite of many failures and displacements. Her tought that they were bad-tempered by accident each times when she failed. I envy that point of her, but I think she needs to reflect more otherwise she may make mistakes at next place. In face, she worked in hospital and she also made failure so she was said "Go home!" by doctor. However, she didn't notice the real meaning of the saying and went home without bitterness. After she back home, she remembered that she was making cream puff and she thought that was good opportunity to her. Many people found her puff and that made them happy. I thought each people have each special ability and that is demonstrated when they work at suitable place. Amelia had various mistakes at various places, but I think they weren't useless for her. In addition, I want to change failure to success like her.

I little surprised that point at first, but he is so cute and his eyes are so charming. I thought it's difficult to distinguish animal. By the way, there were many rerelatives in my house at that time and I watched this movie with my cousin's doughter. She was baby, so I taught her the ward "Babe" repeatedly. She was gradually able to pronounce "Babe" well, so I satisfied at the night. However, she kept saying "Babe" next morning too, so her mother asked "Who teached that word to you?"

THE PIANO

This story is about a man. From this story, I realized again that the life is affected by people and the environment around us. This story's main character Anthony, people around him called him Tony, decided to work in a farm because of his mother's advice and situation of the farmer, and at that time, he was 13 years old. Some of his friends worked in factories or shops, but he didn't want to work there. When he rested with his friends during working, they found a piano near the farm, and he wanted to play that. After the short time, a girl came there to give him a present from his family. She was a daughter in the farmer's family. She moved his playing, and praised that so much, but he didn't believe his ability so much. However, he remembered a pianist who saw him when he was young. From that day, he came to have piano on his mind. He learned the piano by the girl Linda. They enjoied that. One day, a man who worked in village school heard his playing, and he moved that, so he recommended to let him to go to music school to the farmer. He could practice piano every day, and he ran a competition. He won that, and he gradually became famous pianist.

I'm a student now, but I will work a few years later. My position is similar to his 13 years one.

I've waved about the job which I'll do. I had the three job which I had been interested. However, recently, I couldn't have adress one job and I've sturuggled too. Each job have good point and not good point, so I didn't realize which was the best for me, and which did I want to do . I talked with my parents many times, but those answers were not so different. I was said that I could decide slowly, I had much time to do. However I wanted to decide soon, and these situation were pain for me. One morning, my father said for me "You could decide the job which you wanted to do". From this march, I've taken a cource. That cource was little hard for me, and I came to be interested in the other one of three. I had taken a cource last year. That is the other one. In addition, I found the information of a cource in this spring. That is the one which I'm interested in so much, so now I want to take that course next year. I've recommended for a long time to do the course which I take now, but he said me " If you didn't want to take that one, you could take the other one." At that time, I was excited. I think he noticed my tiredness and condition. Now, I've not dicided clearly but I feel things is moving. I'll search about that job carefully, and study for qualifications that the job demanded. I'll make plan for my future and execute to be able to spend my life with pride like Anthony.

Anne Frank

I found this book. Last week, I learned about the politics by the Nazis at a class. I had heard of that but I hadn't known in detail since that class and read this book. Anne seems to have been　cheerful and lived happily until the war was happen. They were Jewish, so they had indiscriminate massacre. That fact was so shocking for me, so I thought I wanted to stop reading many time, but messages from her were so important for us, I thought that. I've heard that many women in those days respected the horrible man, and that was affected the climate of public opinion. That is big problem and terrible. We know we must not do like those things. Life is precious thing, that is natural. I think history like this must not repeat strictly, so I think we should have interest about politics and train to have eyes to watch that to the end from daily lfe.

Dog in School

I remember my experience when I read this book. I remember that dogs often came to the ground in my school when I was elementary school student and junior high school student. One day my classmate who lived near our school took her dog to the school. The kind of that dogh was Maletse dog. That dog was so cute, so after that I asked my parents to have a dog. At first, they refused that thing because they didn't like to have a dog because to have a dog was besy for us. However, we decided to have a dog after few days. We went to pet shop and we chose a kind dog. When we received him, I was in car so I was lectured to take care of him by that salesclerk. I answered "Yes." However, I rarely take care of him, mainly my parents do that, so I often be barked him after I came to home. I think he misunderstands me to other people. We have haved him for 9 years. His name is Peter. When we haved him, my fater suggested "John" and "Peter", but "John" was my calligraphy teacher's dog, so I chose "Peter". I wonder he said those only two name still now. I thought I have to take care him more.

In addition, she experienced war when she was ten years.At that time, she wanted to be a danecr, but because of war, she must have given up that dream. I thought we are blessed because now war doesn't occured in Japan. However, many atrocious crimes often occurs, so I don't like that point.

She tired the role of good mother and wife, and then she concerned bad things, and she was plunged into the depths of dispair. However, a movie director liked that her air and she appeard a movie. She started on the lowest rung of the ladder. I thought the life can reflect to the work as actor. After she retired actor, she work for poor people. I was impressed that action. I thought it is great to have those idea though she got big wealth. I thought her experience when she was young was effect that action. She died 64 years. That death is so young, but she fullfilled her duty in her life, and I thought I want to live with joy and help people like her. 293
