Lilo&Stitch

Stitch is an alien. He is so ferocity so he destroys anything, because he made that by Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Stitch was sent to prison and he was banished from the planet. But he escaped. And then, he fall the earth. He met Lilo then. Lilo doesn’t know about Stitch is an alien. She thinks that Stitch is a dog. Lilo lives in Hawaii Kauai with she’s older sister. She’s parent dead. They were killed in accident. Lilo wants friends so she bought Stitch.

This movie is story about family. Stitch doesn’t have a family. Lilo and Stitch become a family. Stitch learn about family is very precious. I think family is natural, but this thinking is wrong. If I lost my family, I don’t live. I rely anything in my family. I learn too about family is very precious.

The Last of the Mohicans


I read The Last of the Mohicans. This story is very famous and there is a movie that the same title. I watch that movie when in class. So, I want to read the original. This book is short story and very interesting but very difficult I think. Above all, I want to review of the outline.

Uncas is the last of the Mohican Indians. He is with his father and friend Hawkeye. They meet major Heyward and two young daughters of a British colonel. Magua is a Huron Indians. He burn with vengeful thoughts to British. Heyward and two young daughters want to meet a British colonel, but Huron Indians disrupt. Magua want to kill the Hawkeye, British colonel and his men. The Mohican Indians helped Heyward and two young daughters.

I watched the movie before I read this book. So it is easy to understand, but it is not same to the original. The movie and book are both very interesting. Magua is a bad person, but he is to be pitied. I have an impressive Hawkeye’s words: “I have no family. He was your son and your blood was nearer to his blood. But I will never forget my brother Uncas.” I was moved.

I read this book aroused my interest in American Indian history. I want to study about that.

University life

Everyone have pleasantly university lives. We coming to school and studying then eat lunch after that belonging to a club or working or go to home every day, but our lives are different.

Students are different way to coming to school respectively. For examples by train, by bus, by bicycle, by own car, working and so on. By the way, I come to school by train. Many students come to school by train. Train is very convenience but the morning and evening trains are terribly overcrowded. So my friend changed by bicycle.

Students come to school for study. In the university, we take different classes respectively, because students belong to different department. The department of commerce students study about commerce but the department of English students doesn’t study that. So It is very important that what to learn in university.

Lunch is most pleasant time. Most of Students eat lunch with their friends and they have different lunch. For example, packed lunch, buy lunch at the convenience store or the bakery or the student’s dining hall. My friends always have a packed lunch. A packed lunch is delicious and no money. Almost students have a packed lunch.

After school, each of the students spends time they like. For example, they spend time to play sports, studying in the library, talking in the bakery, watching a movie, working and so on. KGU is active club activities. So many people belong to club. This thing is very good thing, because they can build a good relationship each other. Many students spend time with club of friends. In most cases my friends working or studying after school, but sometimes play.

University life is very interesting and important. Many people study in the university and have a different life. It is important that to spend beneficial time.
