I thought that Kanaho's book was the most interesting one for me, "Anne of Green Gables".
When Kanaho talked about this book she looked so happy and she told a lot about the book. The story contains many interesting points and it made me of thinking of reading this book someday.
For the next book report, I don't have an exact idea of what I'm going to read. However, as I read "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", I thought I can read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" for next book report.

sleepiness and cold
Hello! This is Nami.
These days I don't feel very well.
I've been quite sleepy all the time today, I don't know what makes me so though I slept for 7.5 hours last night.
Does anyone have any idea of the solution to such a sleepiness?
Also, I seem to have caught a cold because of this sudden cold weather.
But I should not catch a cold because I have a lot of things to be done by the end of this month.
So I'll do my best for my quick recovery.
Hope no one in this class will fall sick.
Stay warm and be safe everyone!

book report
Hello! This is Nami.
I'm going to write about the book I thought the most interesting.
As some members introduced the books they had read got interested in the book Shun had read, Sister Carrie, because it was quite different from what I had read, The notebook. In the book Shun read, people regard money as the most important thing, and also even the reason for love is money. We can't call it “real love” as The note book shows. So I was surprised to hear the story. At the same time, though realism did not sound attractive, that made me interested in it. That's why I'd like to read it.
As it sounds a little difficult for me to write a book report, I'll try it after finishing the second book report.

book report
I am interested in Fumika's book through the book report presentation. The book is Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was about the man who used a drug to be a person with dual personality. I have read this book before when I was in high school but it was a short one and that's why I want to read the whole story. Dual personality was impossible thing to me so the story made me very excited.
Reading
I have been busy because of a lot of homework and so on, so I had no time to read.
However, I was free yesterday night, so I read a book after a long time.
I read "Heaven travels(in Japanese word, 天国旅行)" written by Shion Miura.
This book has seven little short stories and I read second one and third one.
I cannot talk about the content in detail, but the third one was very shocking for me.
Of course, it was good, but it left an unpleasant aftertaste to me.
Second one was very happy and heart-warming story, so I feel more uncomfortable.
But I will read this book tonight, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of them.

book report
I was interested in a book Nami read. Its title is "Notebook". It was a love story about a poor man and a rich woman. I love reading books and I love reading love stories best, so I wanted to read.
Against her parents, she got married with him and gave birth to five children. However, the thing which was not expected happened.
She got sickness. It was Alzheimer-type dementia, so she could not remember who he was. I was so sad when Nami talked about it.
I have not known what the end of the story was, so I was looking forward to reading and knowing it.
the last meet
Last Sunday's girls' archery meet was the last official meet for seniors in my club activity.
The meet was held at St. Paul University and there were archers from four university, St. Paul, Sofia, Meiji Gakuin, and Aoyama Gakuin. We have meet between these four Christian university occasionally. It is called 4 mission.
Sadly, we lost by 8 points against Meiji Gakuin and got the second place. However, our both two seniors, did so great that they both got over 600 points. 600 is the general goal for every archer to get at any games. I was very impressed by them and thought I want to be a player like them who can shoot well at those important meets.

Light Up Festival
In AGU we have Light Up Festival on Novenber 29th. In the festival choirs are going to sing. We are going to be provided the candle and we are going to light up with them. Unfortunaly there will be a lot of people so it is going to be very crownded. People in our class shuold watch it once!!
Book report
In the book report presentation Kanaho`s presentation was very interesting for me. Anne of Green Gables. Her presentation was very smoothly so we could understand about the story. Not only it was easy to understand the information about the book was well analyzed so I could assumed that she really researched about it. I liked the symbol that talked about Anne`s looks.
Railroad accidents
Last Tuesday, I was planning to go to the sneak preview of a certain movie, but unfortunately I couldn't make it because an railroad accident resulting in injury occurred. I was really shocked because my friend prepared my for those tickets which was hard to acquisition. And I think most of the people who uses train has an experience like me. I don't know about the cause, and I really feel sorry for those accidents, but I always wonder why the JR doesn't try to do anything to avoid the accidents.
Like the Yamanote line, I think they should make the gates between the train and the platform in every station. I think they aren't doing enough to reduse the accidents.

Book report
I was interested about Ayame's book "The adventure of Huckleberry Finn." It is a story about a boy who goes on a journey with a slave though it was a taboo to let a slave go free. I like those kind of stories which him or her believes themselves and goes against the society.
Actually I didn't have a lot of interest in English, or British literatures, but now with the opportunity to study about the literatures, I'm very happy to have the opportunity to read them. For the next book report, I want to try to read Stephen Edwin King's "IT" .

book report
I am interesteed in the book which Nami introduced, The Notebook. It was about the true love and she said that she felt like riding a rollercoaster while she was reading it. Ithink it must be ineresting. I have never experienced the true love so I thiught it is a good book for me.
I am thinking to read The Great Gatsby for the next book report. Though I want to read The Sun Also Rises, too. I have not made up my mind yet :)

no title
I'm Korean, as you all know, and I'm so sad to talk about this.
There were a presidential election on December 19 this year, and Park was elected.
I was shocked, because I believed Mun would be elected.
I'm worried about that you have no idea what person she is, but I strongly believe that she is not the person who should be elected as a president.
Oh on December 19th, I cried too much since I prayed that she would not be elected.
Her father, Park Chung Hee, was president too, and he was the first dictator and killed so many people. and she, Park Geun Hye, says that she respect him a lot. Can you believe this?
Ohh This was not what I want to say, I'm just too... you know, sad.
from that, one years have passed and the unbelivable thing was revealed.
What I want to talk about is that. The presidential election in 2012 was turned out to be a fraudulent election. The ballot seemed to be rigged, however, the main media in Korea never report this. This is why the media in Korea is suppressed by the government, like Italia. It seems to be hard for Korean to redress this,.. because their power is too powerful to resist.
oh my god how can explain it? how can it be happened?
I cannot believe all these things. I'm just complaining, so you (who are reading this) don't have to do something about what i said........!
my school festival (my club activity)
I fully enjoyed the three days of Aoyamasai.
I'm belonged to the English Newspaper club, so I interviewed some of the stalls.
There were so many stalls and also they sold various kinds of foods.
We asked their goals, and their goals were sometimes the money.
On the other hand, there were the goals which have more meaning, one was the unity of themselves: the club, the exchange students, the friends.
It was a great opportunity for me to interview them and talk to them.
I will never forget my first Aoyamasai, and I want to do the interview next year too.

sleepover
Hello! This is Nami.
Last night, I slept over with my best friend. We've known each other since we were in junior high school, so it's been for around 7 years.
We had a cheese fondue and some potato avocado salad made by her mom who was so good at cooking that I wished I could stay there longer.
Afterward we were stuck to TV, because Harry Potter and deathly harrow part2 was broadcast.
It was the last film of the Harry Potter series, which made me cry.
Before taking a bath, another friend came to see me, because we hadn't seen each other for over a year.
We could not make it to stay up all night, but we had a good time as talking a lot and laughing hardly.
I'd like to see them soon again.

crepes evening
Hello! This is Nami.
Yesterday I and most of the IE members went to have a crepe as a snack (or dinner for some of them,) after Ms.Nakasone's class.
A 19 year-old girl at the crepe shop made all the 13 crepes we ordered, and she was very good at making crepes.
Some passersby looked surprised to see the small shop surrounded by 13 people waiting for their crepes.
But thanks to such a big group we were, some people dropped in and bought a crepe. That was good for the shop, wasn't it? I was also happy we could have a great time! Thank you!

part time job
last month I quitted the cafe I was working at :(
so I applied for a new part time job at kamakura pasta and got accepted last week!
Though at the job interview, I had mistaken the place I would've gone and was foolishly waiting without noticing for 10 minutes Dx
I work for aoyama branch now, but I was told to do the job interview at yoyogi-uehara.
the staff there noticed the person I was seeing wouldn't show up, so he called the person for me and told him I got confused and was at wrong place ;(
I apologized and asked for another job interview, and it seemed to have worked out :)
there are lots of things I have to memorize to before start working there, but I hope I can do well without making any catastrophic mistakes..

My school festival days
On the first day of the school festival I was stay in my house and took the first time rest in two months . I was playing video games, reading books and eat what I wanted. On the second day of the school festival I went to Taisho University as a kendo club. We went there for practice match. We defeated them one time and we tied on e. on the third day of the school festival we went to Nippon Budokan to cheer OB in the kendo tournament. He could not win the tournament but it was good experiment to see great players that they play on TV. I hope I can enjoy school festival next year.
Lost thing
Setting: The city in the past or the city which was civilized, but out of vogue.
Conflict: I think the conflict is the red machine faded away but nobody noticed it.
Climax.: I think that climax was a scene where a boy and a red machine found the place like heaven where forgotten things lived together.
Symbol: The city which is seemed outdated is a symbol of people's mind.
I think that their mind had no shine because they could not feel importance of things and they cannot help feeling the world boring.
Irony: He didn't want to leave a machine in the forgotten place, but it seemed that it hoped to be there, so he decided to leave it there. I think it is irony.
Theme: You should use things preciously.
the lost thing
Setting: in a future or a symbolized world
Conflict: the society and the environment (the family) do not accept the lost thing live near them.
Climax: a distinctively new world appears in front of the characters after a long journey
Symbol: the lost thing implies there are some living things that are either not being taken care of or alienated from the modern society, and I think it symbolizes unaccepted feelings or thoughts of people which are not treated appropriately due to prejudices and common thoughts that a society or a culture possesses
Irony: the person who led the lost thing to its place starts not seeing the lost thing as time passes
Theme: even though one thing look strange or weird, it has a place where it belongs to, and you must not abandon it but to treat it well and lead it appropriately as it needs.

I hate talking with a beautician
I am very nervous because I am going to go to a beauty salon this Sunday.
I have to have my hair catted because my permanent doesn't work very much and I got more hair.
But I hate to talk with a beautician.
Of course, I don't mean that I hate a beautician himself and I don't hate talking with other,I like it rather.
But, I hate to talk with a beautician anyway.
I want him to leave me alone when my hair is catted and I want to relax as reading.
I understand that he does just because it is his job and he doesn't necessarily want to do.
But, I hate it anyway...
Talking with him meant nothing! I got nothing!
I am very nervous now...

Golden Bomber
I went to the Aoyama festival and attended the concert of Golden Bomber with Fumika on November 2.
Until then, I have not known only a few songs of them, but after it, I became a fan of them!
After enjoying their live, I went to TSUTAYA in shibuya and rented four albums of them.
I didn't know that I am such a lowbrows...
I love ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION best, so I listened to their music best.
The music I often listened most was their music until then, but now, it is music of Golden Bomber.
I recommend you to listen to their music carefully once!

The Lost Thing
Setting: In the future, at the city.
Conflict: There was a conflict between a boy and modern society. The boy found the lost thing but modern society didn't seem to accept an existence of those creatures.
Climax: The boy lastly find a place where the creatures live together. However, he had to say a good-bye to his lost thing there.
Symbol: The people at the city symbolizes our modern society today which gradually losts human communication and kindness compared to the past.
Irony: The first place where the boy and the lost thing went wasn't actually the place where the lost thing should go. That place couldn't help them.
Theme: There are something that are going to be forgotten as the time goes.

the lost thing
Setting: it is in somewhere in the modern country.
Conflict: person vs. society. The boy (and the lost thing) was(were) trying to oppose the trend of the times as it passes.
Climax: the lost thing and the boy went to the place where other lost things are.
Symbol: the lost thing. When it was first found by the boy in the country, or suburb, it looked lonely, but when they got to the place at last, it regained the power, got active, and looked happy.
Irony: even though he could see the lost thing when he was young, he was getting hard to see lost things as he get older.
Theme: do not forget the feelings that we can feel during our childhoods.
I think the lost thing is the things we can use if we fix the broken parts of them.

Aoyama festival
Last Friday to Sunday was Aoyama festival. Since I didn't belong to any club, I just went 1 day.
I went to the live of the air-band Golden-bomber, which is my favorite band. I like them because they are very humorous and cool. I never thought I would have an oppotunity to see them in a school festival, so I felt very lucky. It was a great day.

Halloween party
Last Thursday, me and the IE members had a Halloween party. We took pictures and had dinner together. The Shibuya crossing was full of people who are dressed up, and it was fun to join in it.
I really had a nice time with my class mates, and it was the best halloween I ever had.

Aoyama Festival
Hi, this is Rina. Last weekend, our circle sold the fried ice at Aoyama Festival. Fried ice has six flavors, chocolate, strawberry, green tea, lam raisin, cookie and vanilla, and rice. The cookie and vanilla was the most popular. The new flavor, rice was almost vanilla, so it was delicious. For three days, we could sell about 2200 fried ices!! It was so happy. On the Saturday night, we went to Golden bomber's live.Though I knew the only one song of the Golden bomber, I could enjoy the live with shouting and dancing. On Sunday night, we held the party to celebrate the successful completion. After that, we went to karaoke. I sang and shouted, so my voice has been dead. However, I had a very good time with my friends. Aoyama Festival was great!!!
my lunch to day
I bought two rice balls at Orijin-bento today for lunch. It was reeeally big and heavy! The name of them was jumbo-onigiri, but they were huge like a baseball ball. I gave up eating one of them and decided to eat later.
Though I am not sure if I would feel like eating it. May be I will have it for my supper lol
I am full right now that I might fall asleep in the next classes...

The lost thing
Hello! This is Nami.
I'm sorry I almost forgot about the lost thing.
Setting- I think this story was located in a suburb which had once prospered.
As time passed, young people have gone to big cities, and things that had been used were left. Also, it seemed to be set in the near past, because it was filled with sign boards, not with the electricity. Trains were moving on rails, not in the air as what many people imagine the future to be.
Symbol- The lost thing is a symbol of things which are no longer used by human beings such as phones, computers, refrigerators.
Conflict- The boy and the lost thing were in conflict with others in modern society.
Irony- He liked to spend time together with the lost thing, but the society did not accept him to keep it, because it was too big to move there. He had to leave him anywhere he should be.
Climax- It seemed that no one had room for the lost thing or any idea what it was, but finally the boy found the place for lost things.
Theme- You should not waste things which could be still used.

school festivals
Last Sunday, I was in Aoyama and Meiji universities for their school festivals.
The food there was delicious, the shows were amazing!
I was at those festivals all day long except the time to move to the other university, but every minute I was there I could feel the excitement in me and the whole school.
What I thought especially amazing, was my friend's band concert!
It was all girls the band that my friend was in, but in spite of their cute looks, they were all really so cool and each of them seemed very independent playing their different roles to unite their music to one.
Another singing I heard in the afternoon at Aogaku's church,
the Christian Choirs for Aoyama Gakuin was also VERY AMAZING.
I literally felt it was as if watching a two hour movie and its ending kind of touchingness.
and the tranquility inside the neat wooden church made the time even richer, making a contrast between the cheerful mood outside the heavy doors :)
It was so nice; if anyone have a opportunity, I'd definitely recommend you to hear them!
Now I look back, I didn't see miss nor mister contest for either universities, and I couldn't see so many of the events held there.
For me to enjoy much more in those festivals, I look forward to going there next year again!

archery
Today, I had archery practice at Sagamihara campus. We practice archery on every Wednesday and Saturday. Though we had Aoyama Festival on last Saturday that I had not played archery since last Wednesday. It is tough to shoot when I pull my bow after not having pull it for a while. Today's practice was awful for me. It seemed like my bow has changed its pounds and weights. My trapezius started hurting after I shoot about hundreds. It would not hurt usually, so I might be shooting in a wrong way. However, I noticed that I really love the sounds and feeling of shooting an arrow. It sounds and feels very awesome. No one can hear and feel them unless they actually shoot once. There are no other things that we can experience them. They are very special. The feeling of shooting in the middle of the target is of course really cool, too. I reconfirmed that I love archery today :)
club and seniors
This is a picture of our room at Aoyama Festival.
I want to draw a huge illust like the one in this picture.
I got into Manga club in April, this year and I communicated with many club members through some months.
I wasn't belong to any clubs at highschool so the club is totally new for me :) It is so fun to talk with club members in the club room and communication between us and seniors told me a lot of things.
In Aoyama Festival the seniors told us what to do and how to do when we work. They we really helpful and kind but I'm not sure if I can do the same thing to next years' juniors!
I don't want time to fly so fast but time flies so I kind of decided to care more about it. However I think I'll forget about it in three days!
I want to controll myself more_(┐「ε:)_I can't be good senior!

!!Aoyama Festival!!
From Friday to Sunday was a school festival at Aoyama Gakuin!
I spent busy and fun days through Aosai!
What I mostly did was to advertise our club in front of the building next to the main gate.
I ofcourse drew some portraits too! However, I don't like drawing a portrait so it was hard work.
It is a rule that we have to talk to the customers when we are drawing, so I had to communicate with people a lot, and it was kind of difficult!!
I have to draw a portrait every year and I thought that I need more practice.
I should draw better next year so that I can teach juniors!!!!!

a candle from halloween
We had a halloween party last thursday and got candles from Ms. Nakasone.
It is a pumpkin candle and looks so cute.
I was looking forward to use it, but I noticed that i did not have anything to put light on it lol
I should go get some fire as soon as possible.
Needless to say, the party was awesome and it was my best halloween party I ever had :)

the shocking news
Hello! This is Nami.
Last Friday, I was on my way home from work midnight.
And then, I found an article that was the most surprising, unbelievable, shocking, heartbreaking one I'd ever heard.
It said Miranda Kerr, who I once wrote about in this blog, and Orland Bloom had decided to separate.
Since I really respected and loved the way they were, that made me so sad that I was weeping on the train.
I turned to be disable to believe ‘love lasts forever.’ Of course I'm quite sure that I have strong love for my family and friends and that I will love them forever and always, but when it comes to relationships, I feel nervous.
Though they decided to divorce, they were taken a shot as taking a walk together with their lovely son, Flynn, in Central Park, NY after that news.
I hope they would get back together.

Live concert & Aoyama Festival!
On Friday, I went to Saitama Super Area with my mom to see the live concert of our favorite band. The band is called CNBLUE and they are from Korea. Also, I'm going to go to Nagoya to see their concert on December too!
On Saturday, I went to Aoyama Festival. Our circle, Ardore, sold frankfurter. It was very fun for me to call out to visitors, because I had never experienced a refreshment stand before. Then, that night I saw a live concert of Golden Bomber with my circle members. I just only knew one of their song but I enjoyed a lot. I jumped and danced during the whole concert so I got tired after that.
Sunday was the last day of Aoyama Festival. Our circle's frankfurters are all sold out and our sales reached 180,000yen. At night we moved to Roppongi and had a party too.

The Lost Thing
I`m sorry for late
Setting
The place was in the city that things has been moving by steam.
the time is could be past because steam used in the past.
conflict
I guess the conflict was the red was lost and nobody did not notice that.
Climax.
In my opinion climax was when he took the red to the place for forgotten and chose to not leave her.
Symbol
There were wave arrow that was pointing the place she is going to stay so i think waved arrow symbolized wandering or, nowhere to go
Irony.
He didn't leave her to the place for forgetting however at last he kept her into the place that nobody knows.
theme
You should remember the things that you stopped to use it.

Question for Mr. Armstrong
I have two questions about the Book Report!
Can I ignore two questions in the book report form(Pink book pp.26) 2) and 4)?
All I have to do is the MLA citation, 7 literary terms, literary analysis and references, right?
Sorry if I bothering you, Mr. Armstrong. ;(

Dinner with my friend
I am sorry for posting blog constantly.
Today, I had dinner with my friend from my circle IAESTE. She is a student of Sophia University and one year senior to me.
Everytime we have dinner, we keep talking and talking without thinking about the time.
Today, we also talked and talked a lot. We mainly talked about our circle IAESTE and people from there. We go different university so we talked about our schoollives as well.
I really like talking with her since she uses Kansai dialect and has much more broader point of view.
Those makes me feel like to talk about anything. Whenever I see her, I always consult and get advice from her.
Anyway, had a really good time and thank her a lot:)
Sorry about roundabout and long sentences.

belated post of The Lost Thing
1. Setting – The town where it is very busy and
polluted in the future.
2. Conflict – A boy found the lost thing but they
don’t know where it came from
3. Climax – The lost thing finally found the
place where it should have lived.
4. Symbol –The lost thing is the symbol of our
innocence.
5. Irony –The irony of this video is that the boy
became adult, and he wasn’t able to see the lost things around himself.
6. Theme –We are forget the important things as
getting ages and getting more things to do.
Q: What’s the lost thing?A: The lost thing is the thing we used to have when we are children. (I believe we can see the lost thing now)
Day in Kamakura
Yesterday I went to Kamakura, and Enoshima with my friend.
Kamakura and Enoshima aren't a far place for us, which we could go any time as we want, but we still love to go sightseeing.
Enoshima is a island full of nature which you can forget the busy times in your daily life. We ate lunch and walked around the island. The weather was fine, so we were able to go down to the rocks, and see some beautiful colored fishes.
After spending our time at Enoshima, we went to Kamakura. Since we arrived there around 6 in the afternoon, the shrines were closed so we spent our time eating sweets and foods.
Also in this season, you could see beautiful light-ups of the tinted leaves in some shrines so I am looking forward to see them too.

Dear Dr.Armstrong
Hello, this is Nami.
I've finished reading for my book report, and now I'm writing.
But I'm struggling with Evaluation part. Could it be about my impression of the book?
What kind of things concretely should I write?
I'm sorry for having troubled you.

my huge mistake
Hello! This is Nami.
I'm on my way home.
I had no idea how cold it would be getting in this morning, but as it was neither so cold nor rainy at that time, I put on a short denim and shirts.
I think it was a huge mistake, because now it's quite cold and raining!
Weather forecast said it would be sunny around the noon, though.
I learned I should bring a jacket or something to keep warm even if the forecasts said it would be warm.
So I hope I could get home as soon as possible and would not catch any cold.

The kendo tournament
Sorry for posting late, I'm going to post for two for last week.
I went to Nippon Budokan for the kendo tournament to cheer OB. That tournament was big enough to broadcast on TV so I hope some of the people have watched it. To broadcast on the TV every players were very skilled so they had fast swing and had aggressive play. As a result we all watched them to consume their play for our play. OB couldn't defeat the tournament but it was very good experiment for us.

prescious experience in part time job
Hello! This is Nami.
Today, I'd been working from 7a.m to 3p.m.
I got completely tired, but one thing has made me happy :)
In the after noon, while we were quite busy, a woman was waiting for me talking with a man about seasonal coffee beans.
I had no idea who she was, but she wanted to talk with me.
Some of my companies were worried if she was someone dangerous to me.
However, when I finally could talk to her, she started with “thank you.”
She said lots of good things happened to her thanks to the message that I had written on her beverage cup months ago.
She owed even a job she got yesterday much better than she had imagined to the message.
The message was like “I hope good things would come to you more and more!” as far as I remember.
That was one of the most precious working experiences I've ever had.
Also, I was encouraged to offer service better and better by the experience.

Aoyama Festival
Today was the first day of our school festival, "Aoyama Festival"!
I went to the school at about 9am in the morning and I decorated the room with club members.
Aoyama Festival started from 2pm and there were many people visiting the festival.
Our club's room is in 1172 and it's quite far away from the gate. However, many people visited our club's room. We sold comics and laminated cards, and we drew portlait.
I'm going to draw a portlait on Saturday from 2pm to 3pm so if anyone is free, please come and I can draw for you :))
I think it is going to be a busy school festival but its fun so I'll enjoy weekends in the school!

Halloween
Yesterday was Halloween so I wore a black dress and black jacket. First, I did my face to like a zombie and took purikura with my friends. After that,we held a Halloween party during the IE listening class. Everyone was disguised and we took many pictures! Also, it was the first time for me to use a clotted blood. Then our teacher took us for a dinner and we ate a lot!
This party was so much fun! I'm looking forward to having a Christmas party with this member too!!!
