BR02-15: Killer bees!

[One man believes that this foreign bee may cause problems for the whole rain forest.](p.4)

There are a lot of insect in the world. I don't like the insects because they are very gross. When I was a child, I liked the insects so I used to go to catch the insects with my father in a forest. It was a memoriable thing for me. I like the only insect and it is a beetle. The insect is so cool and strong. There is a card game when I was a junior high school student. The card game is mushi king and at that time this card game was very popular in our area. I have a lot of cards of this game in my house in Amakusa. My brother likes this card game, too. He has a extra card of this game and he sold the card and it sold ten thousand yen.He looked very happy. I will sell my card of this game when I come back to my house. I wish the cards will be sold high costs.

The bee is very wonderful because they make a big house that bigger than their bodies. They are very dexterous insect and they are strong because they beat the insect that the body is bigger than the bees. There is a good weapon in their bodies and it is a stinger. Thanks for the stinger, the bees can beat the animals that the body is bigger that them. They don't know frightning thing. It is one of the reason why the bees are strong. They gather around in their house and sctively. I can know about the good point of the bees but I didn't becomw to like this insect.

I hate a spider because thier motin is very gross and they have a lot of legs. They live in everywhere. For example in house, bathroom and so on. I heard that they eat the harmful in our house and they protect our house from all harmfuls. When I knew the thing, I thought that the spider is so cool. I like the movie named spider-man and it is a popular movie in the world. He is a famous hero in America. I like the spider-man but I don't like the insect named spider. If they have only two legs, I maybe would like them.

BR02-14: One village Makes a Difference

[The heavy smog that usually covers the area is so unclean that it's difficult to see the city.](p.4)

New Delhi is a very big city in nothen India . It has a large population and, like any big city, it faces a number of challenging problems.

Reading this book, I think that everyone in Japan lives happily because we have a house to sleep and we can eat healthy foods. There are a lot of people who don't have a house to live and can't eat foods enough to live. We have to appliciate our live. We can live a warm house thanks for our parents.

We can drink the water in house but we can't do such a thing everywhere. The water in Kumamoto is very clear to drink. I was surprised at a thing that the water in Kagoshima is not clear to drink. I noticed that I went to Kagoshima with my girlfriend. I thought that the water is clear in Kyushu but it was amistake. I am happy because I can live in Kumamoto.

In India, there are a lot of problems. According to this book, in fact, India is the most polluted country because there are a lot of exhaust by cars and company. India's air is overshadows. In addition, surprisingly, metropolitan of India has a PM 2.5 in the air and the rate is the highest in the world. I thought that Chinese has the highest rate of PM 2.5 until reading this book. It is said that there are no companies that manage the drainage from any factories so the river in India full of bubble. The bubble was made by polluted water so the water is very dirty but people in India believe that the water is the holy thing. They wash their body by the dirty water. It is bad for their health. I knew the India's fact and I became to very sad.I want all the contries to become the contry enough to live.

In india, there is a gender problem, too. Gender problem is existing in many countries. I think that Japan has this problem because there are a lot of places where only allowed woman. I think that it is a big problem. International people think that Japan is not comfortable by man because there are a lot of places that only allowed woman. I studied about this thing when I was a first grade in this university. The discrimination is very bad thing but we did such a thing while we don't notice the thing. We have to be careful not to discriminate to other people. There are a lot of international people in Japan. We put these things in bottom of our heart.

This is the accident that it was happened in real world and I didn't know the fact. I was so surprised at the thing. I thought that this story is fiction story but it was a mistake. I have watched the movie when I was in high school and I was afraid of this movie. After watching this movie, I became to not like a sea.

Recently I saw the news about the accident of traffic on TV so I became to be careful driver.

BR 2-08: Wuthering Heights

[...Heathcliff smiling to himself whenever he saw Isabella, and I wondered why.](p.44)

I knew this book when I attended a class of English literature. I compared with Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre in the class. I like Jane Eyre better than Wuthering Heights. Main character of this story is Heathcliff. He was very poor boy when he was a child. He loved a woman at that time. They loved each other. The woman named Catherine. She could not marry Heathcliff because he was an orphan and she had a longing to the living of rich class. Heathcliff disappeared after she married to Edgar. But he came back and he decided to revenge to people that caused pain him.

I read this book and I became to be sad because he had never became happy. If he married Catherine, I think the ending was different. But I admired his love because he loved the only person in his life. I think that it is a great thing. I could not do such him. Because of environment, he became such a poor person. Wuthering Heights was his revenge story.

In opposite, Jane Eyre was good. Jane was happy because she could live with a man who loved the best in the last scene. She had experienced a lot of bad things since she was a child. But she had a good luck different from Heathcliff.

After reading these books, I want to know more about the difference of these books and I wanted to read other books.

BR 2-07: Jane Eyre

[, but I continued walking toward the road, with tears running down my cheeks.](p.86)

It was written by Charlotte Bronte who is a novelist in Britain. This novel's heroine is Jane who is not a beautiful. The dissatisfaction of an orphan and the consciousness of the equality of the sexs are written in it. These were unimaginable things at that time. This heroine is marrying after free love regardless of a property and statue.

Jane became an orphan and she grew while receiving the harassment by Mrs. Reed and her children. Jane became to be nine years old and she would go to the Lowood school. She met a kind doctor and Helen Burns. She became to love him but he was dead by a tuberculosis.

Jane lived in Lowood as a student and teacher for eight years and she became to work in Rochester's house as a house teacher. They were loving each other but the happiness did not continue for a long time.

Reading this book, I was very happy. I felt that Jane is miserable at first but she married Rochester who she love the best. I think that the chance which can meet and marry with the person you love the best. I envy her so I want to meet the person who love the best in the future. I want to read the book named Wuthering Heights. It was written by Emily Bronte who is the sister of Charlotte Bronte.

BR 2-06: Beowulf

[He tugged the monster's arm...and tore it from its body!.](p.27)

Beowulf is an epic poem which is the oldest thing of the English literature. It is composed three thousands rows and it is regarded as the most precious literature in linguistics. This is the story about the competition of Beowulf and a giant and a dragon in Denmark.

The Denmark king Hrothgar built a huge hall for himself on top of a craggy hill at the edge of the moors. The hall was made of the finest wood, decorated with ivory, silver and dazzling gold. The king called it Heorot. One night he held a party in this hall to celebrate a completion of it. The hall was full of singing and laughter. People ate and drank until they fell asleep. But outside, something evil was rising.

Across the moor, there is a giant named Grendel. The warrior's laughter had woken him from sleep and he hated laughter. The warriors were terrified because the doors of Heorot were smashing suddenly. They had never seen anything happen outside. After Grendel entered in the hall, he killed the warriors of Hrothgar. Grendel returned every night for months. There is no one lives in Heorot. The king was heartbroken and asked Beowulf to killing the giant.

One night Grendel went to the Heorot and Beowulf won the battle with Grendel. Grendel escaped because he lost his arm by Beowulf. After won, Grendel's mother went back to Heorot for revenge. Beowulf won the battle,too. After the battle, he became a new king of Heorot.

I read this book in the class of this university. I have seen this movie two years ago. It was so interesting and Beowulf is very strong and cool. Instantly I become to like this story because I like to watch action story. There are a lot of action story such Beowulf in the world. I think that an action story is interesting in the present day and in old day. I want to read action story in the world.

[I'm a very good driver.](p.39)

I watched it one year ago at home. This is a human drama about a brother. Charlie works as a dealer of luxury cars but the management was not go well. His father is a rich man and Charlie received a message from him. The message is about his inheritance and the father will give all it to Charlie's brother. Charlie did not know the existence of his brother. Charlie went back to his hometown to get the inheritance. His brother Raymond is a savant syndrome so he entered a facility. Charlie took him forcibly to Los Angeles but Charlie noticed his special ability and he remembered his memories with Raymond.

Charlie watched Raymond as the inheritance at first but his mind become to change for Raymond. I did not know the savant syndrome until reading this book. People with this symptom have a superior ability only in the specific field. They can remember the numbers and scene which watched for the first time. It is said that some people can remember the the circular constant, and the others can remember　a telephone directory and a day which identified. I was so surprised it and I was interested in the symptom.

I did not like Charlie at first because he was a violent person. I think that he should be kind to Raymond because he is a brother of Charlie. In the journey, Charlie became kind to Raymond so I was happy. Reading and watching it, I think that I have to value my brother and sister. I want everyone to read this book and want everyone to value one's family.

BR 2-04: Great Crimes

[Where were you when you heard that President Kennedy had been shot

.](p.27)

There were many great crimes in the world. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and it is the famous crime in the world. I know it since I was a child. I have read a book about the issue. The book is in a library in the primary school in my hometown. I was interested in it then. 

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brooklyn in 1917. This is the town in common wealth of Massachusetts. He was lived in there since he become ten years old. He was a sickly child at that time. He had a trouble in his spine so it sometimes hurt him. His mother often prayed in a church for his health. He went to the Edward Devotion School and he changed school to the Dexter School because of his health. After he changed school to the Riverdale Country School in New York again because of his father's house-moving. His father forced to enter the Choate Rosemary Hall. His brother was in this high school so he was a very nasty. His school life was not fun because of  his brother. After graduating this school, He could goes to the Harvard University thanks for his father and he graduated from this school in 1940. He was interested in a politics thanks for his father,too. 

He was inaugurated the 35th president of the United States in 1961 and he was forty-three years old at that time. He became the first president of the United States as a Catholic. He adopted a lot of policies for the country. Especially the Cuban Missile Crisis was serious thing but his correspondence was highly esteemed by many people. 

In 1963 he came to Dallas in Texas to a campaign but he was assassinated by someone. He was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald. After two days, Oswald was assassinated by  Jack Leon Ruby. The accident was very shocking thing and it is wrapped in mystery now. It was said that he was shot two ballets. The first bullet pierced his neck and the second bullet hit his head. He was taken to the Parkland Hospital instantly but he was already dead. 

There are some opinions about his death. It is said that his death is almost same about assassination of Lincoln. Lincoln was killed at the Ford's Theater and Kennedy rode in an automobile that Ford company made. Both of the assassination days are on Friday before the national day in America. Lincoln was shot his head, too. Both Kennedy and Lincoln are born in 39 year. John Wilkes Booth who killed Lincoln was born in 1839 and Oswald was born in 1939. There are many same points there. These topics are spoken in many times at occult.

It is fact that there are many people to find a causal relationship between Kennedy and Lincoln. Typically these are spoken by many people as an urban legend.

[When people use guns to take what they want, how do you stop them?]

After reading this book, I became a fearful. I am not good at riding a plane since I was a child so I do not like an amusement park. I can not climb to the high place. I have never played at any attractions. My friend and my girlfriend like it so they want to play some attractions. I can't enjoy it.
There are two reasons why I do not want to take a plane. First, I do not like it. Second if   an accident is happen, we can not escape there. After reading this book, I thought it again. I think that the accident happened in the sky I can not do anything. When I was a junior high school student, I experienced a fearful thing in the sky. I went to Kyoto and Osaka in the school trip. The accident was happened when the plane was landing. Because of the typhoon, we could not land on the runway. Everyone  in the plane was a very fearful and some people were crying. The plane was going to land on the runway for three times but it can not land. Three hours later, we arrived at the runway. I think that I will die. I can not forget the memory and my friends talk about it now. The experiment made us fearful and a trauma. We can not cope with it.
If there is a man who has a gun in the plane, I think that a terrible thing was happened. I am so happy because the story is fiction story.

The skill of the Japanese planes is the best rather than other countries so I am very happy. I can take the plane that made in Japan easily. I fear that taking a plane which other countries made. We are proud of the skill of Japan. If I go to a foreign countries, I want to take a Japanese plane.

I want people in the world to travel to Japan. There are many interesting things in Japan. But the number of the tourist are increase, the number of the terrorist are increase, too. In the world, some problems of the terro are occuring. I want Japan to careful to terrorist. Japan is the safe country now. But we have to know the things that many problems are happened in the world and a lot of people were dead by an accident.

I want to study about the thing that happened in the world.

Martin Luther King, Jr. is a famous person in America and he was known as Martin Luther King. He guided the civil rights movement.　His speech which "I Have a Dream" is very famous in the world. In 1964 he got a Nobel Peace Prize. He is important person to talk about the racial discrimination in America.

I studied about him in society class in high school. The racial discrimination problem is very difficult to solve and it exists for a long time. These problems are happened in multiracial nations in many time. Japan is the racially homogeneous nation so these problems are not happened. But there are a lot of discrimination besides racial discrimination in the world. We were supposed to study the problem like them in elementary school. The bullying is very bad thing. The rate of suicide continues to increase every year. I want to be like a Martin Luther King and I want to help many people in the future so I must study hard. It is difficult to help many people in the world now so I want to help friends who help me in trouble.

I want to go there with the friend next Saturday. We had a lot of opportunities to be exposed abroad because we became to have a smart phone. There are many applications to talk with other people. For example it is LINE, FaceBook and Twitter. I got these applications as soon as possible because everyone in my friends got them. They are very useful tool to keep in touch with my friends but they also have bad sides. There are many people who expose their faces and real name. I want to use them carefully and want everyone to use carefully, too.
