Reflection : Today, I read a book called Tuesdays With Morrie because reading this book is an assignment of English in school. I didn't expect about it because the title wasn't attracting to me. So I started to read it with very low expectancy. However it was really impressive and I felt a lump in my throat.
This book is written about Morrie and Mitch. Morrie was a professor of an university and Mitch was a student of him. Because they were close to each other, they promise to keep in touch with in graduation ceremony. However Mitch wasn't as good as his words, not only keeping in touch but also living not for money, fame and something like that. Mitch succeeded in his life as a famous sports journalist forgetting his real dreams. Then one day in 16 years, Mitch happened to watch Morrie's interview in Nightline , a popular interviewing program. After watching that, Mitch eventually found him and realized that himself had lived the way far from his dreams. And from then, Morrie's last lecture about life, death, love, forgiveness, repentance, ages, marriage and something like that started only for Mitch on tuesdays. In fact, Morrie lived a time limited-life so he personally showed his lecture about life and death to Mitch. The lecture he personally showed have everybody learn the mind which we love and sympathize someone instead of meaningless things the world says as important things. Especially I can't forget the words he said " It is the most important thing in life to learn the way share the love and accept the love. ". As time passed, Mitch who live busy life as a broadcaster and a journalist realized what's the most momentous thing in life. Also I perceived what I should get rid of and what I should pursue as well as Mitch. Also Morrie told us to escape from our culture which make us envy and be jealous of others. Our culture make us pursue luxury goods but Morrie told us to judge and act with our own values. Eventually Morrie passed away on 14th Tuesday and then the follower wrote a paper of which learned during lectures. At this moment, I didn't cry unlike original me because I took lessons from Morrie that death isn't sad but positive thing and right behavior to death is on the extension of right behavior to life.
After reading this book, I took lessons a lot. Most of all, his teachings let me be strong on every moment alive. I determined I will do my best in every moment. Also he became a respectable teacher of my own mind.

Reflection: I read it because reading this book is a assignment of English in school. I didn't expect about it because almost everybody around me said to me it's very boring book even English teacher! So I started to read it with very low expectancy. However it was so exciting and interesting.
This book was written about a boy's life.(actually this book is a kind of diary of the boy.) The boy's name is Adrian Mole. He has mom, dad and a dog, yet his mom and dad got busted up in the middle of story because his mother fell in love with a man , Lucas , who live in next. So Adrian had a hard time between her mother, father and Lucas. However finally his mom returned to the home because her realized her true love is his father! In that situation, I was near crying because I was too pleased for her to come back. If you read that, you must be delightful because Adrian and his father's life was so a total mess after her leaving. Also Adrian had a girlfriend named Pandora. At first, Adrian did one sided love, but he eventually got her heart and then fell in deep love. Their love was really deep so I was so coy to read their caress. Also he was a teenager so he had a lot of interests and thoughts about sex. In that situation, I was so embarrassed. they had not only caresses but also lots of events such as talking about their future, demonstration against oppressed school and helping other people. In that side, I think cultivating with the other sex friend can be a good thing and I envied their relationship for a second. They helped a solitude old person, Bert, by doing housework and becoming real friends of him. I think he needed not helpers but friends so they did a great job. So I think I should be a real friend of my grandmother. They had equipped him to get happiness. Also Adrian thought he is intellectual. So he sent many letters made of poetry written by him to BBC, a big broadcasting station of England, and received some replies. However they are just for fan management but he got happy and then sent reply with belief that his poetry can be read in BBC. I thought he is very cute in this part. In this book, the most impressed part to me is demonstrating against stubborn school. Adrian and Pandora held a demonstration for socks color. It could be passed by others but I couldn't because I catched that is very similar to my case. Not only my school, Busan International High School, but also other schools force student to be neat and restrain our freedom about style and action. I think students are also people so we have rights to enjoy and express our feeling and style. I believe it's irrational to restrict us just because of social position. Therefore I believe demonstration is very essential however I have never demonstrated because of lack of courage. Yet they got my dream instead of me even in book so I was too pleased and impressed a lot!!!!!!!!!! They looked very awesome.
In conclusion, this book was really interesting and I can have a opportunity to look back upon my past. Also I promised I would write my own diary for my abundant life. I believe this book will remain in my mind forever.

Global Warming

Nowadays, global warming is a rising serious problem all over the world. Therefore I think we should try to prevent this together.
First, in personally we ought not to try to release Freon gas. For that, we can prevent air-conditioner and dryer from using. It is well known that air-conditioner is a major criminal of Freon gas. Also we can use alternative energy. For doing that, we need to resign excess expence. Lastly, we can walk in near distance instead of taking traffic.
Secondly, for preventing global warming we should do not only personal efforts but also national efforts. There are lots of things in national efforts. We can make appropriate alternative energy and make it activate. It must be spent lots of time but I believe it is a valuable work. Also we can make nations recognize the reason why we should prevent global warming by campaign and so on. For solving this , awardness is very neccessary thing and national has responsibility to let everyone know importance of that. Also we can make recyle activate.
In conclusion, we can do lots of activities to prevent it. We can make an effort by both personal and national. In personal effort, we should try to use alternative energy ,walk instead of taking traffic and try not to use air-conditionaer and dryer. In national effort, we can make appropriate alternative energy and make it activate, nationas recognize the reason why we should prevent globlal warming by campaign and so on to people and make recycle activate. These days global warming is a acute issue all over the world and we should prevent it not only for us but also for our children.

Is It Art?

There was a show that a famous pianist didn't play the piano for four minutes and thirty three seconds at his concert. It is a adverse crticism whether it is a piece of art or not. In my opinion, it is a piece of real art. First of all, some people insist that art have to have skills, but it doesn't have so it isn't real art. However do you know the 'throw painting'? We just spill and throw dyes to the sheet, but we call it real art. Therefore althought there was no techinic and no skill, it is a true art.
Socondly, unintended thing could be a art. Do you know Decalcomanie? We can creat unintended art through just sprinkling dyes on one side and foldilng paper into two leaves. We can't foresee the shape of the color. Additionally, after that concert, some poeple realized the real art. They actually said "Oh, It's so beautiful. Through this concert, I could realize the real art. Unintended and no skilled thing can be art. At first, I was really surprised. I didn't know what is happending. However after a little, I could perceive the real art. I am going to my house after getting lots of things."
At last, by no performance of pianist, we could listen the sound of audience. Most of people believe that it is purpose of pianist. Although audience went to the concert hall to listen sound of piano, pianist wanted to listen the sound of audience. He thought that can be a piece of real art.
In conclusion, I think the whow that a pianist's play is a real art. There are lots of reasons. First, art include no skilled thing. Secondly, art also include unintended thing. Thirdly, after that concert, some poeple realized the real art. The last, by no performance of pianist, we can listen the sound of audiences. Due to these reasons, I beilieve that it is a piece of real art.
