『Pocahontas』



This story is about race, history and love. I think many Japanese enjoyed this story as a Walt Disney’s animation.
Pocahontas is a daughter of the great King Powhatan. And she is a Native American.
In January 1607 the English come to Virginia. They began to build their town there. They worked very hard, but Native Americans weren’t happy.
John Smith is one of the Englishmen. One day he goes up the river in boat to find food, but he is caught by Native Americans.
In the Native American’s village, Pocahontas sees John. John wants to live this country and be their friend. Native Americans want to kill him, but King’s daughter, Pocahontas saves him.
Soon they were good friend. Pocahontas learned many things from John. They gradually love each other, but then there was often fighting between the English and the Native Americans.
Suddenly, John disappeared in front of Pocahontas. People said that John must be dead because of his illness. Pocahontas was really sad and she couldn’t forget about John.
Five years later, Pocahontas married with another Englishman. And she has a child. She is happy. But actually, John hasn’t died. In London, they met each other. It has passed eight years since John has disappeared. She angry about John and she still love him. However she has husband and pretty child now, so she couldn’t marry John. They didn’t meet again.
Pocahontas died in March 1617 while she thought about John and her hometown.

After I read this book, I thought timing is really important for love. And I really want to Pocahontas marry with John. I felt lots of things from this story. Then I want to watch the animation again.

『HEIDI』



I read ‘HEIDI’. I think this is a very famous story. Most of people know this story. The reason why 'HEIDI' is popular, because this story made into an animated in Japan as 'HEIDI in Alps'.
Heidi is a little girl and lives in the mountains of Switzerland. She doesn't have a parent. So she lives with her grand father, Alm-Opa. He lives alone in his little wooden house, high up on the mountain before Heidi coming. He is an unhappy old man, and hates everyone.
Then Heidi has a friend who name is Goat-Peter. There are Grandfather's two pretty goats. Heidi went up the Alm with Peter and the goats every day. She was soon brown and strong. Heidi really likes her life with her grandfather on the mountain.
However, One day Heidi's aunt takes Heidi to Clara's home in Frankfurt. Clara lives in a fine house in the city and she can't walk. She always sat in her wheelchair. Heidi likes her new friends and learns a lot of new things. However she misses her grandfather and the mountain. Finally Heidi got sick. She really wanted to go back to grand father’s house, so she got sleepwalking.
Because of Heidi’s sick, Heidi could go back to grand father’s house. One day, Clara said that she want to go Heidi’s house in mountain. Then Clara started to live with Heidi and Clara practices to walk with Heidi.
Finally she could stand and walk by herself thanks to Heidi. When the Clara’s mother knew this thing, she was really happy. And this story has a happy end. Then I really like this scene of this story. The scene is so impressive.

『BABE ~the sheep-pig~』
This book is about one clever, polite little pig. His name is Babe. Then also the scene of this story is on a farm. The farmer’s name is Hogget. He lives in a farm with his wife Mrs. Hogget.
There are many characters in this story. For example, many seeps, sheep dogs, duck and cats. So this is animal’s story. Then I think this book is for the children.
One day Mr. Hogget brought a baby pig to farm. And this pig is Babe. Mr. Hogget planned to eat Babe for Christmas. But Babe didn’t know about Mr. Hogget’s plan. Babe missed his mother, but Babe was alone. Little by little, Babe could make friends of Mr. Hogget’s farm.
Sheep dog, Fly; she is mother of many puppies. And she was really kind for Babe as a real her kids. Without notice, Babe wanted to be sheep-pig like a Fly. Babe was taught how to lead the sheep. And Fly’s partner Rex taught it.
First time, Babe couldn’t lead them well, so Babe asked the elderly sheep Ma. She taught lots of things for Babe. Babe knew that sheep likes polite animals.
Babe wanted to be sheep-pig, but Mr. Hogget still wanted to eat him. However, one day Mr. Hogget knew that Babe helped the sheep. And Mr. Hogget noticed that Babe can be sheep-pig!
From then on, Mr. Hogget started to train Babe for a British Sheepdog Trials. First, Mrs. Hogget against his idea, but Mr. Hogget decided to go to the Trial. Babe afraid the trial, because there are many sheep that Babe never met before. Jury of the trial was disturbed that sheep-pig Babe. But they admitted to Babe as a sheep-pig.
In the trial, many sheep had a complete disregard for Babe. But Babe have already known the password that all sheep knows. So Babe could work as a sheep-pig.
Then Babe could get one hundred points! Babe is the best in the world.

I like this story very much. I think this story has a dream. Then my best scene is a last. Most of people don’t believe that Babe can’t lead the sheep, so they make a fool of Mr. Hogget and Babe. But Babe did it perfect. I felt relieved.

『Jane Eyre』

Jane Eyre is a classic novel by Charlotte Bronte that was published in 1847 by Smith, Elder & Company, London, and is one of the most famous British novels.
Charlotte Bronte (April 21, 1816 – March 31, 1855) was an English novelist and the eldest of the three Bronte sisters whose novels have become enduring classics of English literature.

This story is about one orphan girl’s life. Her name is Jane Eyre. She is not beautiful; she is just an ordinary girl. She grow up in Aunt Read’s house, she treated maliciously by her aunt and aunt’s family. Then also she sent to boarding school; the name of school is low wood. There is a lot of bullying at her school. She had terrible treatment, however she could make friend. Her friend’s name is Helen, but she dies young of consumption, encourages Jane to be more humble, patient and forgiving. Jane got always raw deal, but she never give up. She has strong mind.

After the graduate from low wood boarding school, she becomes a tutor. She works at Mr. Rochester’s house at Thorn field Hall. Mr. Rochester is about thirty-eight, with a blunt, capricious temperament. However Jane respects his honesty, and fall in live him. And she proposed by him, and the day of marriage, she knew Mr. Rochester has a mad wife. Jane couldn’t get over the shock. So, she decided to leave Thorn field.

Then she lives serenely, but she can’t forget Mr. Rochester. So, she hurries to Thorn field, only to find it has burned to the ground. That’s the reason why Mr. Rochester’s house burned is Mr. Rochester’s mad wife Bertha put on fire. She jumped from roof and dead. And she knew that Mr. Rochester lost one hand, one eye and the sight of his other eye in the conflagration. At first he fears that she will refuse to marry a blind cripple, but Jane accepts him without hesitation. They live happily forever.

After reading this book, I impressed with Jane’s strong mind.

After the class, I returned home quickly. Then I went to another company’s interview examination by bus. I tried to do my best, but I couldn’t it. During the examination, I couldn’t concentrate. I always think for my final result. After the examination, I also returned home quickly, and then I kept to my room.
The clock pointed 5pm, I felt very bad. I gripped my cellular phone, and I closed my eyes. I was worried about time, but passing an hour already. Little by little, I thought that I fail an examination. For recreation, I went to living room, and something to drink. At that time, I had a phone from the company!

My favorite animal

I like animals very much, especially I like dogs. Dogs are like a human, because I think dogs are really sensitive for the human’s thinking.
Why I think this, I had a good experience with my dog. When I was 3 years old, I met a dog first time. Then my enjoy days are started. The dog’s name is Indy, he is a Shetland sheepdog. I was really happy, because I felt I got a new family. My parents were busy, so I often played with Indy in the yard. We went for a walk to the park, played a Frisbee and sometimes we slept together. So I almost grow up with Indy. His existence was really essential for me. Indy couldn’t talk, but we could communicate each other. If I felt sad, he always licked my face and encouraged me. And then if I felt angry, he always sits next to me and he calmed my anger.
10 years ago, One day, I forgot my house’s key so I couldn’t enter the house. I waited in the yard for my families come back to the house. I was really nervous, because I felt loneliness. Little by little, the sky changed dark. I was going to cry. At that time I really noticed how precious Indy’s existence. He never leave me, he stayed with me. I thought if I don’t have a dog, I really lonely and free.
That is the reason why I like dogs very much. 5 years ago, Indy ran away from my house. We tried to find him. We made a poster: please finding our dog. However we couldn’t find him. So there are empty dog house in the yard. My family and I believe that someday Indy will come back to the dog house. So we can’t throw away it now. Maybe he never comes back, but he gave me a lot of things. I learned many things from Indy. I love Indy eternity.

My precious things

One of my precious things is a ragged sweat shirt. This sweat shirt has some snags and stretched, but I don’t throw away it. Somehow I can’t throw away it, I really like it. I use this shirt for 7 years. Moreover, this sweat shirt has many precious memories.
When I went to junior high school, I belonged to the rhythmic sportive gymnastics club. There were 15 people in our grade. We had a hard practice everyday, we often cried because our coach was really strict. For this reasons, one day we decided to quit a club, we couldn’t stand to hard practice any more. So we visited to coach’s office, then we had told that we wanted to quit a club. However, coach didn’t allowed that our request. She said “That is lazy, you just give up. You should try to keeping.”
After we heard coach’s word, we had second thought about quit a club. In addition, our senior said same things for us. They gave us some ideas. “Why don’t you buy new sweat shirt? For a change of peace.” Then we decided to bought new sweat shirt for everyone, instead of quit a club. This is my precious sweat shirt now!!
From then on, we went to practice everyday with new sweat shirts. We felt a sense of belonging, because everyone has same sweat shirts. So, we could keep very hard practice. And then we realize that our senior taught this.
That the reason why I can’t throw away the sweat shirt. I have many things about rhythmic sportive gymnastics club. For example, I have ribbon, ball and leotard…now but I like sweat shirt best. And I’ll never forget these precious experiences in my junior high school time.
Then I thought I was last owner of the sweat shirt, but to my surprise my friend also has the same one. To my friend it was also precious one.
