Movie Review 6＊Whale Rider

This movie is about the Maori in New Zealand. There is a legend in a village that a brave ancestor man named “Paikea” arrived at this village, leading by a whale. This movie was difficult for me to understand because Maori words appeared many times. But it sounded interesting.
The main character in this movie is Paikea. She is persistent and never content unless she is the best. When she was forbidden from learning traditional song and dance, she learned them very hard, hiding from anyone else. The inhabitants in the village didn’t accept her at first, but at last she was accepted as the new matriarch. And her grandfather is Koro. He is a patriarch in the village at the time, but on the other hand he is kind to a her grandchild Paikea.
The beginning of this movie, Paikea, who was named from a brave man, was born. When she was born, her mother and a twin brother died. So her father Porourangi came apart from the village, and her grandfather felt anger and sad, because the twin brother who died should have become a successor. Therefore her grandfather couldn’t accept Paikea. When Porourangi came back to the village, Koro wanted him to become a successor, but he refused. At the same time, Paikea felt that she was not needed, so she was apart from the village once but came back soon because she heard voices from the sea, though Koro didn’t change his mind. He believed that the tribe was unhappy because she was born. So he opened school where boys could learn traditional song and dance. She continued practicing them secretly. When it was the test day to be a patriarch, no one could pass the test.
The ending of this movie, Koro found some whales on the beach when he went to school to see the school play. He and the inhabitants tried to help them, but they didn’t succeed. He felt it was the end of the tribe. But Paikea didn’t give up. She ran up to the whales and rode on them. Then all the whales came back into the sea, and she was riding on the back of the whales. Her grandmother showed Koro the evidence that she passed the test secretly. At that moment, he convinced that she was suitable to be the matriarch in the village. After she was rescued, everyone celebrated the birth of new matriarch.
I like this movie. The scenes were very beautiful and I could know new things. Next spring, I am going to go abroad in Australia, so I want to study aborigine, language and so on.

【Book Review 11】

I read a book whose title is "The Little Mermaid". I watched this movie of Disney and I like it very much. The Sea King's castle stood in the deep sea. The water was clear as if it was glass. The sand was as fine as powder. Tall seaweed grew up around the castle walls and small, bright fish darted among its branches. Six mermaid lived there and they had own small garden to care for. One day her grandmother told them a story of the world abone the waves. The Sea King said them "You may rise above the waves and see these things for yourselves on fifteen birthday". On own fifteen birthday, older sisters rose above the waves and told them what the world like. The little memaid was really looking forward to her birthday. When her fifteenbirthday arrived, she rose above the waves. On the time, she helped a prince and fell in love him. She couldn't forget him for a long time. At the bottom of the sea, she met a witch. Then she drank a potion. the position lost her voice, but gave her legs. After that, she met a prince again, and had sweet days. But he set sail. He proposed her to marry, but she shook her head. So she was alone. She couldn't come back into the sea never because she lost her caudal fin. With tears streaming down her cheeks, the brave little mermaid disappeared into the welcoming waves. This tail was sad one but the movie ended happily.

Friends

Hi!!

Today I went to eat dinner with my friends Aya and Kyoko at Jolly Pasta after school. We ordered a lot of foods. I ate tomato sauce pasta and had soft drink. They were delicious. We planned to order dessert, but we couldn't order it because we were full. We enjoyed talking over eating. I like the time to spend with my friends very much. After that, we went to Daie store. Kyoko and I got DVD which is our favorite singer group. We reserved it more than a few week ago in advance. And we ate 31 ice cream there.:) I choiced an ice cream of strawberry cheesecake flavor. I like it very much. We went back to school on foot, eating an ice cream in cold night. But we really enjoyed dinner and had a good time. We will go to eat somewhere, so I am looking forward to it.

Literature

Hi!!

Recently I read many books because I had to write reports. There were some books which are famous in the world. The farewell to Arms, the catcher in the rye, the Scarlet Letter. I thought as if I am a woman of letters.:) I don't like reading, so it was hard working for me every day. But this time was a good oppotunity for me to read books.
