Playing with my friend

After acadamy, I was so tired and starving. So, we decided to eat something near the lotte cinema. We wandered the street and finally decided the restaurant we will go.  There are only a few people so we could get seat easily. We thought for a long time to chose what we would eat. Finally, I chose spaghetti and my friend chose risotto. While we were waiting for the dishes, we talked about our friends and funny story. she told me that the taste of risotto wasn't that good. Mine was also not that good than I expected. After eating, we went to cosmetics store to buy some nail polishes. We put on some of them and chose three nail polishes. Then we went to singing room and sang almost 2hours. It was really excited and fun day. Playing with her, I release my stress!

A Dark Brown Dog - Stephen Crane

  Some people think that  heredity effects people life. People who think and believe like this is a naturalists. If naturalists are true, poor people's children should be poor and rich people's children should be rich. However, like the secretary of general, Ban gi moon, he born in small and poor family in urban area. If naturalists are right, Ban gi moon couldn't be the secretary of general. He should cultivate rice in small farm.


  In the story 'A Dark Brown Dog' a boy hits the brown dog, when the dog follows him. The boy hits the dog, because he felt that the dog threat him. The boy's father always hit his family. So, the auther express that people's heredity effects people's behavior or attitude. Like this, some people do get effect from heredity, however if they tried to think not to follow them, it is possible not to get effect from family or heredity. Also, another part of the story, it shows that the boy's family is poor. And also they are very violent. By this, we could infer that auther has a stereotype that poor people are negative and violent. And rich people are possitive and less violent. However, it is not always right. Some rich are cruel and negative than poors. 


I think that heredity doesn't matter with people's life. Rich people would have more oppertunities than poor people. However, if they do not try or do not have will to do something, the poeple who try best and have will to do would succeed. Also, rich are more negative than poors. The president of Samsung daughter commit suicide. The reason was becuase she had depressive disorder. Most of the depressive disorder occur because of thinking negatively. Even though, she had much money, she commit suicide. Like Steve Jobs, he become rich by thinking possitive ways. So, to me, thinking effects more to people's life than heredity.  

After academy

Yesterday, my mother came to my academy to go home together. It took about 15 minutes to arrive at home. While we go to home, we saw an old man drunk. He was walking to the road. He went near to cars and said something. The driver also thought that he was drunk, so he tried to pass him. When the car passed him, he lost his balanced and fell down. He couldn't get up by himself, because he was drunk. Then, one young man came to him and tried to help him. I thought that people should drink alcohol not too much.

To Build a Fire - Jack London

  We feel cold more easier than Eskimo. In  north pole, it's more colder than where we live. It's even hard to see sun in that area. In this story, 'To Build a Fire' it is about a man's death during going to his base camp. We can know that he is very dull and insensitive. He kept going to the base camp, knowing that the weather is much colder than other times. This attitude shows that he might get some trouble or leading him to death. In our lives, we could also see people getting trouble, because of not being sensitive. And another part of this story, dog tried to stop going to the base camp, because he felt the weather is more colder. From dog's action we can know that dogs could be more smarter than people. Dogs couldn' t think however, they could sense things. Ability to think could be not good things at all. If we can't think smarter, having a sense like a dog could be better. Also, other part of the story the dog felt that it wasn't good way to go to the base camp. However, he didn't let his master know. The reason was that the master didn't treat the dog nicely. Even the dog can't speak like people, they could feel as like as people do. From dog's attitude, we should treat dog nicely like we do to the people.

Delicious dakgalbi!

Today, my father went to Chuncheon, because of his business. On the way home, he bought dakgalbi for us. He said that it was too expensive for a portion. Mother cooked the dakgalbi while we were watching television. Before finish cooking it, we set the tables and helped mom. When dakgalbi was ready, we sat together in a circle and eat it. We ate so fastly that it disappeared in 10 minutes. It was very delicious, but little bit spicy. After eating it, we watched television together. It was a very gratifying weekend.

Extracts From Adam's Diary - Mark Twain

  Realisim is a mind that people think more about realistic things and not thinking about ideal things. The story 'Extracts From Adam's Diary' talks about the life of the Adam's. In this story Adam think curious about why the bird name is dodo. By this part of the story, we could find out that Adam is a romantic person. Now a day, people usually don't think why sky is blue, or why cat name is cat. However, when we were young we usually asked our parents why sky is blue and why cat's name is cat. When we were young, everybody has mind of ideal things. I think that at first, Adam was a lazy person like a children. And another part of the story, Adam and Eve try to find who the childrens are. They try to guess that they are animals. However, Adam and Eve thought that they are not animals. The reason is becuase, they do not hope like a frog, they do not fly like a bird. We could find out that Adam and Eve are changing to the realisitic people. They don't just guess who they are. They told the each reasons why they are not a frog or birds. We could know that this story is changing romanticism to realisim.

  As our society grows, it changes alot. Most of the people in our world live in a realistic life. They care money and properties more than other things. Some people even kill their parents to get money. Like this, realisim could make people extreme. So, I think we should decrease the mind of realisim and try to think in romanticism. We could brake out the stereotype and think many other ways. Thinking many other ways could make our society better and develop. However, we should also have a realisitic mind too. Only having romantic mind could also harm us.
