Cyrano de Bergerac and Roxanne

In Cyrano de Bergerac and Roxanne, the characters and the plot are similar, but the others are very different. The setting for Cyrano de Bergerac is in rural France, and for Raxanne suburban America. 
In Cyrano de Bergerac, Cyrano is a famous swordsman in town. In Roxanne, he is a firefighter with strong physical strength .
In both movies, they are  charming, smart, and poetic, only they have a huge nose. The women are friends with him, but not consider to go farther, because of the nose. He is in love with Roxanne, but found out that she is in love with Christian. He wrote letters to her, but have Christian sign the letters. The obstacle between Cyrano and Roxanne is Christian.
The only similar scene in both movies is that at the bar, where one man insulted Cyrano's nose. Cyrano then come up with better insults and make the other man look bad. Then they broke into a fight. In Cyrano de Bergerac, they have a sword fight, but in Roxanne, Cyrano beat him with a few punches.

Favorite Legend

I favorite legend is the Fenris Wolf. It involves the Gods fighting with the Fenris Wolf, and that the Gods do not know how to chain the Wolf. In most of the legends, the Gods would mostly always find a way on their own to defeat the beasts, or that they just have the power to defeat them. In the Fenris Wolf, the Gods have no ideas of how to chain the Wolf, and have to ask the dwarfs for help. Also, the God who take care of the Wolf when it is young has to sacrifice one of his hands in order to chain the Wolf.

Odyssey quick write

Everyone that has done a good deed to the world, or you personally can be a hero. Parents can be heroes, where they gave birth to you and take care of you. Teachers can be heroes, where they teach you how to read, write and a lot of other things. Scientists can be heroes, where they would do researches to help people understand more about themselves and the world they live in. In books, all the characters that are needed to complete the story can be a hero. Whether it is a small character that do or say something to the main character that changes his or her mind or action. The main character is also a hero, which without him/her, the story would be a mess. Those traits can be very universal, which everyone can do by helping the people that may need your help.

Impression of Animal Farm

The movie uses a bit more scary sounds and music when the scene is tense. When things broke,  it makes really big noise, and most of the time, something tend to happen after the crash.
The greediness in the animals are just as strong as the humans. They have the food, place to live, and a farm, but it seems like that Napoleon wants more.
The animals couldn't speak that well, also that the animal couldn't communicate with the humans. But the animals are still doing some trading with the animals.
The leader of the animal farm is always the pigs, and due to Napoleon's greediness, he treats the other animals badly and kills the "guilty animals".
The pigs are like the government, that they have the power and the goods, and can do just what they want.

Beware of the dog quick write

There are times where people misled me. They will act really nice to you while planning something evil behind you. There is once that one of my friend is really kind and nice to me, and that led me to think that she is really nice. Later on, because we changes classes, other people and my other friends all said that the girl isn't really nice and stuff. Since we have lesser time to be together, I started to learn more about her and so we broke up.
A lot of things can misled people, like a light can be put up in some weird places that really want you to go, as in a ghost house, or Halloween nights, you might think the light is the exit, but maybe it is the farthest place from the exit.

Bullying

What is bullying? Have you been bullied?

Bullying can be seen in schools, on the street, or any places that have people. Bullying can be in many different forms. It can involve fighting, with bare hands or with weapons, one person or a group of people on one or another group. When accusing something that happen on someone completely innocent, it can also be bullying, so that person need to take care of whatever punishments or things that are caused by the event. In school, or in some offices, there can be people that just do all the work people gave them. When a student tell that student to do the homework for him, it is also bullying. Bullying is like when any person or group of people are against each other and putting burden on them. I don't think that I have been bullied for real. There are times where friends will tell me to do something in a funny mean way, but they are not for real.

pg 660 Quickwrite

Earthquake in Japan - the event happened recently and Japan is really near to Taiwan. A lot of people died and suffered from the earthquake. It is really awful that those innocent people just die without any warnings. It may also create earthquake in Taiwan.

911 Earthquake - This event happened in Taiwan when I am a little kid. I remembered people running out from their houses. But since it is not really a big earthquake at where I live, so we didn't go though things as bad as those who lived in the areas the earthquake occurs.
