Presidential Debates

I would like you to watch at least 3 of them and remark on which ones you think are the best.

My best choice is “A snowman’s biggest question”, because I really apprehend global warming. America is one of developed countries. Therefore, they consume many oil and resource, and create environment contamination. This problem is not only American’s issue. But, there are many people in U.S.A. So if most of people can attend to global warming, this power will be very greatness. It’s important to attend to it each person. For example, people should think about how to throw garbage and try to recycle them as much as possible, change economy lump, and use hybrid car, and so forth. If many people fulfill these actions, global warming may be able to decrease speed.


You should write your own question for the U.S. presidential candidates.

I really apprehend global warming. If you were a U.S. president, what can you do for it? I think this issue is consequence problem for earth dweller. How do you think?

What do you think of this format for presidential debates?

My opinion is this format is very nice. This form of debates is absorbing. Everyone can participate in debates to use “You tube”. Even if some people are easily embarrassed, everybody can make mention like a snowman who hides himself. Also, audiences can know what every candidates think about each questions. Their responses are showed through tube to citizens.

American Rhetoric: Movie Speech

Now, you need to think about what message Howard Beale (the speaker) is trying to tell. It's fairly obvious. What message did you take away from this?

TV shows not the truth. So he suggests that people should not believe all of the news or intelligence from tube.


Is this message more or less relevant today than 30 years ago when this movie came out?

Yes, it is.
There are many news, intelligence, and information now, so I think this message is more relevant today than 30 years ago.


Is this a message for American audiences only, or is it a message that could be spread in your home country? Why or why not?

I think this is a message for not only American audiences but also many countries audiences because there are many TV in the world. So people can get many messages from TV.　In modern society there are enough information so this message exists for people in the world.

Does this make you want to see the movie, or does it just sound like a boring old man trying to tell everyone how to live their life?

There are many kind of news in the world. So we can get a lot of information to watch a
TV. Also, we can have much knowledge to read a newspaper and books. He said about tube, but I think this problem is not only tube. The newspaper and books also bring so much information. We can know many things from media. I think sometimes that only information has wings without facts.
Even if I watch the TV and get news, it’s not intelligence that I get from my experience. It’s just one of information that I hear. There is the proverb, Picture is worth a thousand words. It’s significant to see with my own eyes. Seeing by myself makes sense for the first time. Also, if I get some news from media, it’s important to distinguish what is true or not and valuable or not for me, because what TV broadcast is not always true. In addition, it’s important to choose more essential thing for me from complex information.
Conclusion, I don’t want to see the movie more, but it’s necessary to think about what true and important for me is.

Who is loser?

It was fine day in the afternoon. They were talking about their school and come people in the starbacks. Suddenly, it was heavy raining. All of them ran to the building and continue their chitchat. They felt it was boring, so they decided to play some games. If somebody lost the game, he had to do some penalty. That penalty is to cut Hong’s arms. At that time, Hong became a loser. Hong said ”Oh my god!!” without a smiling. Although Hong lost his arms, he decided to be a good guy and didn’t play the boring game, like this. Finally, he became a successful person.

07/20/07

1.Main idea:
This story is about a rat named Remy who wants to become a great French chef.
He had fine sense of smell and keen palate so he can distinguish between safe food and toxic it, and cook. One day, when he tried to steal some food, he saw TV. One of French chef named Gusteau told, “Every one can cook”. So he was impressed about his word, and he also stole a book that chef wrote from human’s house. However, he was found by landlord. She aimed to shot him. Finally, he could get the book and escape her house, but he strayed from his family and companions.
Remy went to Paris. He could talk with ghost of Gusteau, and had a chance to cook in his restaurant. One garbage boy named Linguini was making horrible soup, so Remy couldn’t help helping him. Remy made a soup instead of Linguini. This soup was recognized. After that, Linguini and Remy had relationship.
In addition, Linguini was proved Gusteau’s son, and then he became management.
Reny could control Linguini’s action by moving his hair. Their cooperation could make delicious dishes. One day, the most famous critic named Ego came to his restaurant. But prior management who hated Linguini caught Remy. So Remy couldn’t go his restaurant that time. Linguini couldn’t make dishes without Remy. At the time, Remy’s family tried to help Remy, and he could escape and go his restaurant. Linguini told the truth that Remy had been cooked dishes. When other chef heard, they were disagreeably surprised and left his restaurant. Remy and Remy’s companions had been seeing bad happening so they decided to cook instead of them, did. And then, Remy cooked ratatouille for Ego. This dish moved him.
Linguini had to move his restaurant because a health center man saw many mice in his restaurant. He succeeded new restaurant with Remy.

2. Interested point
I was interested in this story. Also, I was impressed their relationship between Remy and Linguini. Actually, if mice made dishes, I would not want eat it. But, I want to eat it because the dishes that Remy cooked looked very delicious.
This animation was wonderful, rhythmical and fantastic. I want to see again.
