Book Review02-03#Falk Tales from around the World 1


This book has 5 stories. There are Snow White, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Hansel and Gretel, Three Little Pigs, and Pandora’s box in this book. All of the stories are very famous in the world. I guess my classmates have read these stories at least ones.
Snow White is very romantic story. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of us all?” This word is very famous. I think this story was often acted by little children of kindergartens.
I did not know Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves till I read this book. I knew the name only. This story is a competition in ingenuity of Ali Baba and thieves. I knew the head of team is not success without wise subordinate.
I like Hansel and Gretel from when I was little child. Do you think there is dream in the house made from sugar, cookies, and cream? But, I think the father of Hansel and Gretel was very miserable. I think father should save own children from dangers.
I was become frightened when I read Three Little Pigs because this story was different with a story that I knew. In this story, 2 little pigs were killed by a wolf. I thought last scene is 3 little pigs win a wolf.
Pandora’s box is a secretly box. There are many sorrow, disease, disaster, murder, rape, war, and other terrible things in this box. Panodra was very beautiful lady. She was made by gods. There are many terrible things in the world because she opened the box.

Movie Review4#DRUMLINE


In NY, a boy graduated from high school. His name is Devon Miles. He had fantastic skill of drum, and he could get scholarship because of that. He loved his mother so much; they lived without Devon’s father through force of circumstances. His father loved music, Devon loved it too. He decided to be well at drum than his father.
Then, Devon entered A&T University. He got many friends of the marching band and a girlfriend, Laila. Devon got puffed up about drum. He believed he was the best in percussion part, and he was not serious to the unsparing practice. And Devon was a lone wolf and very irritable. He caused trouble with other university’s drum line. Dr. Lee the manager and Sean Taylor the leader of percussion part guided Devon strictly. First, Devon and Sean were on bad terms each other. Devon thought Sean was worse than him at skill of drum; Sean felt envy at Devon’s skill. Really, Devon could not read score. The thing was very big problem. He was fired from A&T Univ. marching band. But, it was Sean that helped Devon. He coached how to read score, and they thought new score for the band. It was very innovative arrange. Dr. Lee decided to use the score at next tournament of marching bands by Universities of South America. A&T University‘s rival were MB Univ. A&T University player classic music, but MB University played only famous pops for getting interest of audience. MB University’s manager believed own winning, but this year’s A&T was change by Sean and Devon. Devon could not take part in the game. But Dr. Lee and Sean asked Devon, “Take part to the final round of drum line!” After the heroic drum line, A&T University marching band was winning!

This movie is very interesting for me, because I played clarinet at marching band when I was junior high school student. I think percussion is very important position of the band. And, Devon, Laira, Sean were same years old with me. The thing was reason of I felt easy to watch too. I think the movie‘s view point were important of friendship and growing of Devon. Devon was not good boy at marching band, first. But, he could change because he could meet good manager, good leader, and good friends. A marching band is not good if there is an excellent player in the band.
I studied some important things from this movie. I want to remember this movie when I try to play with my orchestra member.

This is very famous story in Japan because there was TV Drama of this story in Japan recently.
This story’s main character is Sara Crewe. First, she was born rich. But her father was died at a mine of diamond, she was poor suddenly. She was attended a boarding girls school. This school had rich students only; Sara was work at the school as a maid. Sara was annoyed by the principal and a part of students. But Sara was not flatter or loses. Finally, Sara was the princess again because her father’s friend took Sara along to his home. He has a big mine of diamond, and it was finding with Sara’s father.
It is very unbelievable story but it has a dream I think. I think girls wish for “Story like a Cinderella” at least ones. I like scene that Mr.Carrisford gave the present secretly to Sara. This scene is like a magic, I like the best.
