GOAL CHECKING

This time I want to check 3 goals that I wrote at the first. It was reading many books, concetrate one thing well, and don't be inflamed or angry easily. Let me review my goals. I think for sure I didn't read many books. I was too busy in here. So I couldn't read a lot. But it doesn't mean that I did't read any books. of course I read a book, but not many.
Next, concentrate one thing well. I think I am doing this pretty well. I concetrated things very well while this camp. So this is my succeed goals.
Finally, do't be inflamed or angry easily. I think I am doing this well also. I did't become angry or inflamed many time here. So this is my succeed goal.

SHOOTING NUCLEAR BOMB ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI WAS OK?

 It is often said that bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki  was the worst choice that had ever bee made. Because of this decision many people died ad were damaged severely. However, in my point of view, I think it was necessary to use nuclear bombs, because Japan didn't apologize and they wanted to continue the war. Moreover, today they are not examining their past and refusing to admit their mistakes.
LITTLE BOY (HIROSHIMA)
To begin with, Japan didn't apologize and they wanted to continue the war eve though all of Japan's allies surrendered. All of the countries in the world wanted to finish the war, but the Japanese didn't ad continued to plunder other weak countries. In 1945 July 26th there was a Potsdam Declaration. It was a declaration about asking surrender of Japan. However Japan ignored it and continue to plunder other countries. Japan ignored the peace of world. Therefore we can say that it was necessary to shoot the bomb.
 FAT MAN (NAGASAKI)
 Furthermore, they still turn a blind eye on the time whey they continued the war and disobeyed international law. And at this period, Japan agreed with they'll militarism would be abolished. However, Japan is disobeying this promise. If we didn't give a punishment to them and get a penalty that time, maybe Japan would be the most danger country in the world, today. Some of Japanese think making their country the best is the most important things in the world.
 Some people also think that too many people died. But it was nothing compared to the number of people Japan killed. Japan's allies killed 21 million  people when their opponents killed 300 thousand people. Of course 300,000 is a huge number, but it is only a small piece of 21 million! Killing is bad, however stopping more killing by killing a little is understandable.
 Lastly, some think nuclear bombs were too strong penalty; it did't have to be nuclear bombs. But then, what weapons could have been used? Other weapons would be too weak to force a surrender. Japan had become crazy about conquering other countries. So other weapons would have less effect.
 In conclusion, I think shooting nuclear bombs to Japan was not a bad choice, since Japan wanted to continue the war and they are not examining themselves today. If Japan continues this situation, they might become a dangerous country again later. Before the big thing happens, I think we should give them much stronger penalties.

MY DRABBLE

E.O.P. violation                                        underlined word means I said in KOREAN

THIS IS A REAL EXPERIENCE.


I was wating for elevator. There were my roommates around me. The elevator was coming closer to us slowly. "What would be the lunch?" I asked in Korean. "I don't know." "I am very hungry, how about you?" I asked. "My stomach is playing the drum!" he answered. I asked "Did you do your history presentation?" "No I am going to..." "EOP violation!" One PA was hiding on the elevator! I was sorry to him. Because of me he got an E.O.P. "Your name?," "Your class?" After he wrote my roomate's name and class, he said "FINISHED" and went out

BRAVE

Brave Poster
This is a story about Merida who was a princess of a kingdom. Because her mother bothered Merida, she wanted to change her mother. She thought that if she change his mother her fate would be changed. So she met the witch and use a magic. Unfortunately, her mother had changed into a bear. By trying hard to make her mother come back to a human, they could become closer.
TRAILER <- CLICK THIS
 I can learn many things while watching this movie. And I'll write 3 things that I feel from the movie. I mean I'm going to write a response essay.
Brave
 First, I think we can sympathize with Merida. Because one of my friend is having similar relationships with his mother(NOT ME). So they could have really moved by this movie.
 I could also think we should try to understand each other. Because Merida and her mother didn't w\try to understand each other, the accident had happened. I think I became angry easily, because I didn't understand him or her. So I think I should change my habit.
 In the end, I have a question about this movie. Why the title of this movie is Brave? I think it doesn't have any relationships with the story. In Korea the title of this movie is 메리다와 마법의 숲(Merida and the Magical Forest) I think it would be a better title.
Brave's lords look on in disgust at a gathering
 This movie was an instructive movie. But the prologue was a little bit long. So it was quiet boring at the beginning part. I like PIXAR movies, such as 'WALL-E,' 'Toy Story,' 'UP,' and 'Ratatouille' because their animations are very good. And also 'Brave has good animation.
Merida with her family at the Dunbroch Castle dinner table
 I think there were special parts of this movie. It is that the princess is different. Merda and other princesses have totally different lifestyles. Merida has very tough so she loves to plays and learns how to shoot arrows. However other princesses like Snow White or Cinderella doesn't touch any weapons. Also, all of the princess movies end with a prince. But Merida didn't want to marry. So in the story there weren't any story about loving story. Plus, almost every princess doesn't have om or dad or both of them. But this movie is an exception. For example, Snow White's mom was dead.
 This was very interesting movie. I want to recommend this movie to someone who is an elementary school student.

BOOK REVIEW

THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE

WRITTEN  BY FOREST CARTER


 This is a story about Forest Carter's childhood.The boy's parents die and he is given over into the care of his grandparent at the age of five. His Cherokee grandma and half Cheorkee grandpa call him little tree and teach him about nature, farming, whiskey making, mountain life, society, love and spirit by a combination of gentle guidance and encouragement of independent experience.
 Grandpa is a just normal farmer. He teaches Little Tree the truths of life through nature. I will tell you 3 truths that I was impressed by. 
 First, you should not give up by your lack of confidence and you have to do your best in finding your role in the world, without being envious of others. What he tells Little Tree shows us one of our social problem. Because many people are envious of others and those who can't control their mind commit a crime.
 Second, if something good happen you should share with others. Plus he says if you share beneficial thing, it could  spread to the place where you can't go and make the world wonderful. This made me regret trying to conceal good things from my friends.
 Finally grandpa says that hard winters are occasionally necessary. It is nature way of cleaning things up and making things grow better. So even though there are hard times to live you must overcome those hardships. It means sweet after bitter.
 While reading this book, I wished I could live Indian's life, namely pure life, or an environmentally friendly life which doesn't have any crime in it. The Indian way grandpa shows in the book made me think about value of nature and true meaning of happiness and love. In addition I could feel happy and sometimes sad with Little Tree. When Little Tree who was living with his grandparents happily was sent to an orphanage by white people, I shared deep sorrows with him. He seem to have received much better education from his grandparents than from white people.
 The relationship between Little Tree and his grandpa reminds me up my own memory with my grandfather who is living in the countryside. When we climbed mountain, he told me about the natural way such as providence of nature as Little Tree's grandpa did. It was very amazing and instructive experience. Probably the feeling I had would be the same with Little Tree had felt. My grandfather and Little Tree's grandpa who've lived with nature their whole life may teach us important things that we can't learn from school. Today we learn things from school, but maybe the real education that we really need is the one like Little Tree had.

성덕대왕신종
 This bell is called Emile bell. There is a sad story about this bell.
When this bell was making, in the dream of one Buddhist Priest who was the director of this bell, Buddha came out and say we need to put a baby in the bell. At first, baby's mother disagree about it hard. But in the end, she agreed to put baby into the pot. After making this Bell, the sound like baby's crying came out from the bell as 'EMILEMILEMIL' So that's why this bell called as Emile bell. This bell is famous by good sound. But maybe the reason why there is a good sound is because of the baby. Isn't this very amazing and scary?
