Essay2-02b: World Websites

I am learned history when I was a pupil of elementary school. I didn’t like this subject by junior high school student but the teacher of high school is very interesting. He taught me fun of history. I like history because is it looks story. But I am not good at world history. It is difficult for me! Last writing class, I saw some websites of world history.

I am interested in world history. Do you know about mummy? I found a website that is written about mummy. (Grid Club: Time Tunnel-Mummy Making Quiz) I don’t know about history of Egyptian until now. Egyptians mummify dead to preserve them for the afterlife. Ancient Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen. The bodies were packed with natron. Embalmers left in the heart because they believed it would be weight in the afterlife. Embalmers cut open the body with a knife made of stone. I saw that how to make mummy. It is very cruel thing. I don’t want to be a mummy!

Then I am interested in history of Europe too. I like Marie Antoinette the best. I read the comic that title is “Rose of Versailles” when I was a junior high school student. It is Japanese comic. In Europe, there are famous places. On website, I could see many places. (World History For Kids-By Kids Past.com) I want to go Versailles Palace and feel period. I have the impression that European is noble. If I could go back the past, I want to be a noble and live in there.

Next, do you know the Great Wall of China? I have watched it on television and picture pasted in website. (Great Wall) It looks very long. I have a friends who from China. They and I have never been to there so we will go there in the future. I think that the Great Wall is symbol of China and to see that is to know about Chinese history.

Recently, I think that to study history is very important and interesting! I want to learn not only Japanese history but also world history. And I like to see pictures of many countries. So website pictures make me excited. To see it is I can feel period. But I want to visit many places. For example, there are America, Australia, Europe, Asia, and so on. Japan also has historical place. I think that people should know about own country. I want to be a person who can understand about history of the world.

Essay 1-03b: Lilo's life and my life

“Lilo and Stitch” is not only interesting but also impressive! There is a girl who name is Lilo, five years old and lives in Hawaii. She does not have parents so living with her sister. Her sister name is Nani. Lilo wants to make friends but cannot to make it. One day, Nani decides to have a pet for Lilo. Then, she found a looks like dog. Lilo like is and decide to have it. She named it “Stitch”. He is a stupid and destructive, but cute and powerful boy.

Maybe everyone think that Lilo is a poor person. In this movie, Lilo does not have not only parents but also some friends so I seemed to her very poor. The island, there are some children, but everyone is cold people. Lolo lives in Hawaii with her sister so she looks like mother for Lilo.

In my case, now, I think that I am very happy person. I have five people in my family, my father, mother, older sister, younger brother, and me. I am living with them. My father teaches me a lot of things. My mother cooks very delicious dishes and kindness. My sister always helps me when I have a any problem. My brother gives me power, because he is very funny. If I live with my sister, maybe I cannot live peacefully, because, we always depend on my mother. So I cannot do everything with my sister.

Hawaii has a lot of traditional things. In this movie, I could find Hawaiian custom and tradition. For example, there were Hula, fire dance, surfing, dialect, clothes and so on. Everything is very impressive, but I am interested in Hawaiian dialect the best. “Ohana” mean is family. “Aloha” mean is “I love you”. “Mahalo” mean is “thank you”. I want to know about it more. The movie gave me about a lot of Hawaiian custom and traditional.

In my real life, I go to the school, I study, I work at part-time job, play with my friends. There are natural things and custom for me. I have a dream so I am studying now. And I need much money so I should work harder. And I have some friends so I can go many places with them. I have enjoyable time.

Lilo’s life and my life are very different. Lilo seem sad, but she has enjoyable time almost every day. I think so, maybe it is thanks to stitch for Lilo. She became have a enjoyable time with Stitch. I want to stitch too. If there is a stitch, I can enjoy every day more. But stitch is pull a stunt boy so to take care of him!!

He runs faster than fox. That time, gingerbread man had to river but he cannot. So fox help him. He sit on fox’s nose and swims across the river. Finally, the fox ate the gingerbread man. The end!!

I read a book “Snow White” Because this story is very famous and popular. I know it when I was a child.

The story is that. There is a girl who named “Snow White”. Her father’s second wife was envying her because Snow White was very beautiful than wife. One day, she told a man kill Snow White. But, he could not. He sat her free in the forest. Then she found a house and met seven dwarfs. They became friendly. From then on, spiteful wife found Snow White and visited her. Wife passed her a poison apple and Snow White fell down. Seven dwarfs felt sad. One day, a prince came to there and fell in love to Snow White. That time, Snow White woke up!!!

In fact, the story has very grim scenes. For example, spiteful queen gave Snow White a poison apple and she fell to the ground dead. The scene is very grim so maybe children are scare. But last scene is I like. The prince visited to her and he fell in love with her. Last is happy end so It is very romantic (^^)/
