Entry 1: Common Experiences

       Yes, I do agree with the statement that there are only two or three human stories and they go on repeating themselves as if they never happened before. I think there are more than 2 or 3 human stories but i do agree if the big idea. Before this class I never even thought about things like this but now i find it very truthful. What happened to me usually happen to other people too. However when i actually experience it, it is like this thing never happened before. 

       When i actually think about it, everyone have this little space in their heart that is privet and no one else would touch. I have this personal and special place too, i felt like it was so unique that it is there just for me. The untouchable place for me is so privet that no human actually reach it. Yet, i have 4 best of best friends that i told my everything to. The only "person" who knows and keeps that special place for me is Necky. I know deep in my heart that she will never ever slip my secrets away nor will so complain about having to hear my rant. She is my journal. 

       I also think that the common experience link all humans together. Why else do those love stories and breaking up songs so popular and never dies? Because all of us have the common experience or stories, so we feel connect to the situation. This is also the reason body language works. When ever you see a warm, welcoming smile, the warmth slip into your heart before any words are spoken. When a person cries, the people around them can feel the sadness because they understands. Maybe they have never lost a brother before in their life but they know what it is like to leave someone forever.

     

big nose..

the two movies of Cyrano de Bergerac have a lot of of differences and similarity, which i will tell you as follow
differences:
- the language in the two movies is indeed different ( one french, one english)
- the time movie was base on is different ( one is more in the 1800s, one is in the modern days)
- the way movie was started was different ( one starts when Cyrano is walking, one starts in a cinema)
- Cyrano's job was different ( Cyrano was a police in the modern movie and call himself a poet in the 1800 movie)
- the relationship was different between characters ( Roxanne was the cousin of Cyrano in one movie while in other Cyrano and Roxanne are strangers)


similarity:
- Cyrano in both movies have really good body fitness. in the modern movie he can calm up the roof and int the 1800 movie he is a fighter(using swords)
- Cyrano in both movies have abnormal big nose
- Cyrano is the kind of person that is very sensitive about his nose and gets mad when other people makes fun of it. However he is able to use different way to describe his nose when ever others is making fun of it.
- Cyrano is a talented speaker, ( this character is more obvious in the 1800s movie) who is able to make up a come back really quickly
- Cyrano is obviously intelligent

all about the legend

     My favorite legend is of course the Knights of the Round Table. It is very easy to understand and it is the kind of story that will just stays in people's mind after they heard about it once. It is very famous, fill with adventure, love, war, and other attractive elements. King Arthur's life is very magical from the day he was born to the battle cost his life, in some places he is deeply wounded but still not dead. Knights of the Round Table have many sections of stories in it, most people did not read through the whole thing but just a few famous ones such as the quest for the grail, when Arthur is fighting for the queen and when the "Perfect Knights" comes out. I love these story very much and i believe everyone who had a childhood knows about the story very well.

Odyssey quick write

A hero, should be brave and did something important to the society.  

For example superman is a hero because he is always saving people with his super powers. Edison is a hero for creating light bulbs and makes the whole world shine even at night! 

One thing to keep in mind is that the hero is only consider as a hero when he had done something important to HIS society. For example, a great hunter might be a hero in his tribe when he always brings the most food back and kills all the monsters. How ever he is no hero when he comes into the city who dont care about killing and hunting animals. 

hero should be:

- brave

- fill with love

- done something important 

- kind hearted

differences

      The few things that the animal farm movie is different form the book is that the movie didn't describe some of the characters as well as the book does. The book describe the characters deeper than than the movie. The movie can show a lot of different scenes at once but the book cant really do that. The book has to go scene by scene. One more important difference between the book and the movie is that the movie gives you the actual image of what it would be like and help the viewers understand it better. With the musics it create the mood for the viewers as if they are in the situation. One the other hand, although the book does not give the actual image, the readers have room for imagination. Everyone might picture Mr.Jones differently if they are reading the book and people can only think of what Mr. Jones is like in the movie if they watch the movie.

Beware of the dog quick write

       Yes, I think situations that people being misled happen all the time. One of the best example would be when there are new students coming in to a class or school. In those times people are easily misled by the appearance of the new student and make quick judgments about them. As the old students get to know the new student better they will know that their judgments are right or not, usually they are not correct. I sometimes get misled by this kind of situation too but i always remind myself to NOT do it. 

what is bullying?

Bullying, it is when stronger (usually) person purposely harm the weaker person.
   When i say strong, it does not only mean that physically strong but also strong as in the way she/him think of her/himself and the popularly. Weak might just means that he or she have no friends in school or just physically week.
    Also bullying does not only include, of course, hurting the others by making them have wounds and stuff. A lot of times the words that you say to others might harm them so much more than you physically hurting them. Like laugh at someone when they are sad or pick on them all the time and make them feel like they have no friends ect. There are lots of ways for bullying and these are the two major ones people usually use.

Have i ever been bullied?

   Yes, i have been bullied before and that is defiantly something i do not want to remember at all. When i was in elementary school i was not the one you would want to hang out with. I was like a little boy in the elementary school, well, i guess i am not too girly even now. I would fight withe the guys if they piss me off, and i would rather die if you tell me to wear dress to school. This is probably the reason i get isolated in the class, i dont really have any good friend or friends in school. I dont think the boys i sometimes fight with are my friends for the reason i fight with them is that they laugh at me. All the time, i wonder if they get tire of it, but sadly they never did. When we are doing group work, i am always the last one to be pick. When they play cards, i only get to watch.
    this is a really bad memory and i am glad i am out of it.
