An audition
Hi, everyone!
How are you doing? I write this blog after so long time.
Yesterday, I auditioned for the ballet performance.
I have practiced ballet in Matsuyama ballet school. Do you know the school?
That is one of Japanese ballet school. A famous Japanese dancer, Yoko Morishita belongs to it. The school holds a performance made by students a year. I have wanted to take a part in the performance, so I decided to audition for it.
When I went to the hall, there were many students. I went there with my sister and her friend. I had little hope to pass the test, but the feeling that i don't want to regret made me go there.
Around me, all other students looked so thin and mature. I felt i was out of place, but I couldn't escape or retire, so i decided to do my best and enjoy dancing.
After warm up lesson, coreograph began and i remembered the coreograph.
There were many teachers in front of us and tested us with serious faces.
Though other students danced very well, but i did my best.
No matter how the result will be, I think it is good for me to audition for the performance, because it was great experience for me.

For Valentine's day
Yesterday, I made a chocolate banana pound cake for Valentine's day.
I don't have boyfriend, but I wanted to make sweets.
It took about one and a half hour to make it. My sister also made some sweets with me.
I was worried if I could cook it well, but my grandparents said,"It's nice", so I was glad.
Actually, I have a person who I want to give this, but I can't. So I am sad...:-(
Making sweets is fun, so i would like to cook again.

Parfait
Good evening★
Today, I studied English linguistics outline which is difficult for me.
I want someone to teach the subject... I cannnot understand some sentences. I am in trouble because the sentences might be asked their meanings... Oh my god!!X-(
After that, I went to the lesson. After that, I went home with my sister.
On the way home, we went to Denny's Restaurant where we had dinner. My sister will take a part in the ballet performance in Feburaury, so she didn't eat so much.
We ate a pumpkin parfait together. It's so delicious! But I will be fat!!
I must excercise!!
See you♪

A cool actor
Today, I stayed home all day.
I was bored...
I watched "Orange days" on TV.
The main music of this drama is "Sign" sung by Mr,children. I love the song.
Let's listen to this!
How about it? I like this music and lyrics.
After that, I watched a drama,"Mei chan no shitsuji". In the proglam, Hiro Mizushima took a role.
He was soooo cool! I can't wait until next time.
Anyway, thank you everybody.
I was at first very worried about this IE class, becuase I didn't know anyone in this class.
However, thanks to your kindness and friendliness, I really enjoyed this course.
Thank you very much!
I hope I will meet you again.
And thanks Richardson,too!!

Book report
"Animal Farm"
1) Orwell George, Animal Farm, Edinburgh Gate: Pearson Education Limited, 119pages, 1945.
2) RESPONDING TO THE PLOT:
a) If I was Napoleon in the story, I would have worked as hard as other animals, because all of animals should have been equal to achieve the purpose.
b) If I was the author, I would not kill Boxer, a hard working horse, because it was too pity for him to be killed in spite of his kind and earnest character.
c) Boxer said, “Napoleon is always right” (34page) in the situation that some animals had doubt about revolution. I chose this quotation because this statement expressed Boxer’s loyalty to Napoleon very well.
3) ANALYZING 7 LITERARY TERMS
1. Setting: England in the 19th Century
2. Point of View: This story is told from omniscient.
3. Conflict: Animals are in conflict with human. Animals chased off their master, Jones who treated them badly and tried to create their own farm.
4. Climax: At first, animals dreamed of their free and improved farm in which all of animals are equal. However, the commandments gradually disappeared and finally, the trial failed to be same as when Jones was a master.
5. Symbol: The symbol of this story is 7 commandments, because they express the will of animals and how their will changes.
6. Irony: Irony of this story is that animals tried to create their own farm in which all were equal at first, but gradually the aim disappeared, and finally the farm became a stratified society which was same as before the revolution.
7. Theme: The theme of this story is that when try to make the society in which all are equal, if there is someone who are better than others, then it becomes to a stratified society.
4) REFLECTING ON THE STORY
a) I found it interesting that animals tried to create a new society by themselves. They didn’t need human’s help. I was also surprised that a pig, Napoleon, could control other animals and had lots of knowledge like human about how to manage a farm. I thought he was very clever as a pig.
b) The character’s life is different from mine. The animals in the “Animal farm” must work very hard, but I don’t have to work so hard because I am a student.
c) The environment of this story is different from my own country. The environment of this story is a republic, while my country, Japan, is democratic society.
d) If the book has been made into a film, I would compare the image which I had got from the book.
e) I think he wanted to criticize the revolution which occurred in Russia.
f) I agree with the author’s view of people and life. Because I think people tend to want to be better than others and the top of the country tend to abuse his position.
g) What I learned from this story is that if someone has the advantage over the others, then the republic collapses
h) Before I read this book, I didn’t know about the republic society so much. However, after I read this, I knew about it better.
i) I thought Boxer would not be killed because he was very honest and showed loyalty to Napoleon. However, he was actually sold to the knackers by Napoleon. When I read this, I was really shocked and got angry with Napoleon. I thought Napoleon had a very cold heart.
