(12) Japanese Cartoon - Kekkaishiy

     Recently, twelve o'clock in the weekend is the moment I look forward forward to for a whole week. The main reason is that this period of time is the show time of my favorite Japanese cartoon, Kekkaishi. Kekkaishi is almost like witch and wizard in western culture, who can make use of magic spells. The story is about how two young Kekkaishiy, Yoshimori and Tokine, fight with the monsters. A long time ago, their school nowadays was a huge castle ruled by a powerful noble family before. Nonetheless, because their power are good nutrition for monsters, the noble family was killed by monsters in the end. What's worse, the power of this noble family still remains in the place. As a result, what Kekkaishiy has to do is keep the monsters away from the place and protect people. Meanwhile, for monsters, the period of night are their perfect time to appear; therefore, Yoshimori and Tokine have to work at night to protect original people from monsters' attack.
   
Since I was in the primary school,  I really like monsters literature and cartoon in Japan, which always give me more space to imagine. The same as some certain magic elements of Harry Potter, in cartoon Kekkaishi, Yoshimori and Tokine  can do magic spells as well. Both of them containing magic plots and teaches us that if having kind and strong minds with the helps from good friends, no matter what kinds of difficulties are in front of us, we can overcome them in the end.

(11) Reflection of Ultimate Gift 3

   

     At the end of the story, the ultimate gift that Jason gets seems to be the ruling of Red's company. However, through the traveling to figure out what is ultimate gift, Jason actually received more than his original expectation.  He turned into a different person step by step; he learned the value of money, friendship, courage, and love.
    The plot of the movie which impressed me the most is Jason and Emily's conversation on the grass. When Jason asked Emily what her dream is, Emily gives Jason a simple but powerful answer: a perfect day, and I just fulfill it. Compared to Jason's passive attitude, Emily indeed knows the meaning and value of her life. Emily's answer recalled a question I was asked before. "If today is your last day, what do you want to do?" Believably, I will asked for a perfect day in the last day of my life. Even more, we should regard each new day as the last day. By doing that, we won't have any regret in our life.

(10) Reflection of Ultimate Gift 2

     

    Following the development of the plots, the secret of the "Ultimate Gift" gradually reveals in front of the audience. After the first gift of working appears, Jason's grandfather then takes away all his money and his belongings and asks Jason to find a true friend. At the beginning, Jason takes this mission as a piece of cake because he thinks that he has many good friends. However, he was shocked that all of his "good friends" disappear when he is in poverty.

     Personally, Emily is a good reflection for Jason. Compared to Jason's snobbish attitude, we can easily see Emily's innocence and kindness. Believably, not only Jason but also the audience were shocked and sad when knowing Emily is suffering leukemia.  Upon seeing Emily still keeps hopes and lives positively, Jason is touched by this innocent power and begin to see Emily as a true friend.

     As the story goes on, the secret about his father hiding in Jason's heart will be showed up. Jason goes to a small village for helping fix the books in a public library. And, the village is where Jason's father passed away. One day morning, Jason drives toward the mountain taking away his father, and determines to find the truth.

     The main character, Jason, in the movie was born in a big wealthy family. As a result, he spends his life in an aimless and self-indulgent way without worry about money. Nonetheless, his life changed after his grand father passed away. Because Jason was late to join his grandfather's Inheritance Announcement, he reluctantly inherited a farm form his grandfather. But, in the meanwhile, he could not help but being curious about the mysterious gift mentioned form his father. Therefore, he decided to figuring out the gift. However, when he reached the farm, what he had to do is endless work instead of the gift. Although he realized that only finishing the work can help him move toward the gift, he still has no idea why his grandfather gave this boring mission to him.

(8) Getting a Cold

     

     At first, I have to say that i hadn't gotten a cold for almost a whole year. Therefore, compared to other weak people, I'm sure that I am healthier and stronger than them.  Last time a cold grasped me because I went to Leofoo Amusement with my friends in the eve of a powerful typhoon. Therefore, within my expectation, all of us got wet at that day and I even had a fever after coming home. This time, i just had a light sore throat in the beginning. However, for i was busy at the mid-term and  some activities of the club, i ignored the illness. The other reason is that i really hate the smell of medicine; as the result, sometime, i would forget to eat the medicine purposely. On the next day, i was shocked by yellow snivel when getting up from my bed. At the same time, my sore was too hurt that I could not even say a word. The worst thing is that my voice changed into a witch's voice and I have many oral presentation form last week.  Hence, eventually, i had no choice but going to see a doctor. Now, a week passed, i haven't recovered yet. Oh~~~ THE COLD. Can you keep me away and turn my beautiful voice back to me?
