William's essay 2

     Have you guys ever seen american drama? There are lots of great america drama, but I want to talk about my favorite drama named " 24 ". 8 seasons are broadcasted from 2001 through 2010. 8 seasons were broadcasted at FOX channel. The drama was really popular at the time, but it ended with season 8.  I have got few shocks and I changed some views of values. I will intoduce about the drama and talk about my feelings and what I've got from the drama below.
     The genre of 24 is action and thriller. The type of describing the event in the drama is very unique. The whole event occurs in a full day(24 hours). So the title of the drama is 24. And there are 24 episodes for every seasons. Each episode shows what happened in one hour. The main character is Jack Bauer. He works for the CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit). This place is where tries to find out when and where the terror will occur and protect Ameica from the terrors. There are few situations when it is very urgent and deperate to torture the terrorists and find out where terror will occur. But in America, tourturing is illegal and if they need to torture the criminals, they need to get permissions from the court and report to superior office. This process takes too long to stop the terror, so Jack Bauer just tortures terrorists and save America from the terror. But after few situations like that happened , Jack Bauer was accused by the government because he broke the rules and it was a controversy between all over the world. But he overcome the problem and protect America 8 times from the terrors. There are lots of action scenes and twist scenes (that you couldn't have imagined at all). I have seen 24 from season 1 to 8 for 6 times. It took me for 2 and a half years.
     How I got shocks from the drama is that I have never seen him like Jack Bauer. He loses everything he has even his wife and many friends. But he didn't quit his job. He continues to work for the country and refuse to be a betrayer. His body was not normal at all. He was caught by chinese and worked in a hard factory for 2 years. Also, he was tortured by the terrorists really lots of times. Not just his body, his mind was completely ruined by the terrorists who killed Jack's families and friends. But he works for the country. I was really surprised and got shocks from his loyalty to the country. I thought about the government's act toward Jack and I was really sad. I decided to not to betray people who saved me and helped me before.
     Also, I was really struck by the cinematic quality. The author made really good foreshadows and twists. There are some situations that I coud not have thought about in the drama. I like reversals. And the action scenes are so realistic. Kiefer Sutherland took the roll of Jack Bauer in the drama. Even though he was born in 1966 and very old for action movies, he acts really good and fights really well. Moreover, the author had made good foreshadows. So the reason why I watch 24 over and over is because I know the story so I could find the foreshadows which the author had made. I really enjoyed finding foreshaodows. And not only the terrorist's story is in the drama, but also happening in a real world is in the drama, too. Such as love between field agents who works for CTU or how to educate their children. So I couldn't have felt any distances between the drama and me.
     The drama 24 is really amazing drama. I want to watch it more and more. It ended with the season 8 at 2010, but it was so popular, so 24 will be made in a movie in 2013. I am really looking forward to see the movie. I got good influences from the drama even though it was action and thriller. I decided not to betray people who helped me. And I will give people my word for only things that I can keep.

Ben's Essay 2

I think that it is very easy to be addicted to America drama. America drama is really exiting, interesting, active, wonderful and awesome. There scale is really really big. It can not be compare with Korea drama. I don't watch drama often. but I watched Prison break all night long. I really really recommend everybody to watch Prison break. Now, i will tell you about Prison break.

Prison break's genre is suspend. This drama's actual purpose was to fill up the blank famous drama 24's blank in each season for short drama. but it gained so many popularity than expected, so it extended to more seasons. The Fox, America's broadcasting station has made it, and it has been broadcasted until season 4. 

Let's tell about it's story. In the first season,  Michael Scofield go to prison, named Fox River on purpose to rescue his brother, named  Lincoln Burrows who is arrested for killing the brother of Vice president of the United States and waiting for capital punishment . so Michael tattoo all of his plan to rescue his brother in all body. So he escape form prison with  Fernando Sucre, 

T-Bag, C-Note, Tweener, John Abruzzi and Haywire. They are all criminals. so FBI is in eager to catch them.

  In second season, They go each other's way, but someone killed by Mahone who is in FBI, and caught. They also betray each other so many times. They go Utah to find 5 million dollar to use money when escaping to Mexico where Police can not catch them. There is also season 3 and 4, and i can tell you about that, but if i tell it, it could decrease its fun. Michael and Lincoln, those two brothers are doing their best to uncover the plot of The Company, where has really strong power that can control USA. 

I really recommend this drama. If you watch one, you can not stop watching. I was also like that, so i watched it for all night.

but there is a problem that it's completeness is going lower and lower. because of there was a trouble between the Fox and drama writer. I was fell in Michael Scofield's charm. He is very smart !! I will show you picture of Prison break. I really hope everybody to watch this.But not in exam period. Let's watch Prison break tonight!!  Yeah!!

My favorite book.

   My favorite literlature is a 'Ressurection' that is written by a russian novelist Tolstoy.To illustrate the breif of the story, a noble named Nekhlyudov, did wrong thing to his lover, and just went away to the army, giving some money to his lover at the same time. Tragically, because of the shock he gave, Mechussa, his lover, become prositute. After years, Mechussa became a criminal by a mistake, Nekhlydov eventually attend to the trial and realise the sin he have made. Nekhlydov struggles to restore his conscience  and recover his lovers from that moment and that's the story. I was fascinated by this book because this was my almost first literlatue I have met in lifetime, and it taught me about 'what human is', and it stroke my conscience as a christian.
  In early days, I was able to read  a good completed literlatue in my home, but refused to read it instead of cheating for a school homework copying the summary in the very end of the book. But, after meeting a teacher who gave me great passion about the reading, I started to read a book of philosophy by my own. But after realizing the fact that If I was going toread a book in depth, I should began from the beginning, a literlature. So I choose the book from a public library in local area. It was a hard task to read a literlature about more than 600 pages (maybe?) which is divided in two part. I struggled for it, and suddenly I was able to recognize myself that I was really enjoying it and influenced by it much. This book gave me a joy of literlature first time.
   In addition, as my mother said in past days, a literlature showed me the true intrinsic of a human's mind. This book describes the people who are corrupted by a system that divides people who are wealth and poor.  Moreover, this book shows almost every aspects of human hypocrisy. While reading the book, I thought every second 'I will not be like this person.' Thus, this book helped me to look inside of the human's complicated  mind. But I couldn't disagree with a fact that actually I was justifying my wealthness (not only a physical matter) and didn't tried to reform my rutified life.
   Last but not least, I was been compeletely striken my conscience after reading this book. A protagonist named  Nekhlyudov, similarly he was reflecting my struggle for conscience, but more fiercely and truly. He gave up his every property and gave it to the tenant. He ends up his immoral life and gives his whole life for who is poor, weak, innocent. Despite of the temptations, he never made a compromise at the end, and purely live for the people with the joy that God gave to him.
I felt this is impossible. But isn't it the life I should live? Throwing away the self-centered life but neighbor-centered, and always struggling for the conscience and don't sitting on the sidelines when people's are suffering? Such as a labor right, land speculation, etc, many of problems are threatening our conscience and taming our life into it's reason. I sometimes reflect myself remembering the life of  Nekhlyudov. I think maybe his lifestory will be the rolemodel of my life.
   Resurrection gave me an unforgatable experience in my life. I hope that  Nekhlyudov keep breathes in somewhere of my conscience and tells me " Don't make a compromise. Keep struggle for your conscience. Follow his will, and throw away the things what you must.

Lianne's Essay 2: My favorite memory

  Throughout 17 years of my life, which can't be said too long or too short  I had a lot of memories. There are some enjoyable, happy and also stressful memories in my life. Every single memories are so special to me that I can't change with anything. Sometimes they taught me some lessons and also made me regret about my behavior. In this essay I am going to tell you about my best memories in my life that I have experienced.

  To start with, I have a enjoyable memory to tell you about. When I was ten years old, I was attending to elementary school in the States. In school, I have always waited for lunch time! In lunch time, me and my friends would always gather together and share each other's lunch. We shared our stories and had a great time. I remember that my lunch was always delicious. My nanny was a great sandwich maker and her sandwich was so good that I still miss it. After having delicious food, we usually played games like capture the flag, tetherball, and more. Playing with them was so fun! They were great friends of mine. I can't never forget that cute memory I have.

  Next, I also have a memory that made me regret about my behavior and also taught me lessons. When I was 13 years old. I had to take an exam for a computer process Word Processor. To take the exam, I had to take classes every morning for about 30 minutes in school. However, I didn't attend that class because I was lazy and couldn't get up early. I failed my exam. Then, I tried one more time after about a month?,,I don't remember exactly. Before the exam I thought I had enough time so I chose to cut my hair before. After having haircut, I was late for the exam. I couldn't go into the room and couldn't even take the exam! I think this was the most pathetic thing I have ever done in my life. I should have set the priorities and do it in order.

  Lastly, I have a happy memory. It was in winter and I remember it was almost Christmas so many buildings were decorated with beautiful lights. So, my mom and I were planning to go sightseeing in Seoul and walk to the streets to see the lights and have a date there. Then, we took a bus but we fell asleep. When we walk up, the bus was on the way back to our home. However, hopefully the bus was passing Seoul so we could still see the lights. My mom and I were too tired to get off the bus, so we just chose to stay inside the bus and saw the lights inside. We had a bus tour! It was an unusual experience I had but it was fun and relaxed. After getting off the bus, Mom and I just went to a cafe in near to our home and enjoyed. When I think of this memory, I get a big smile in my face.

  In my life, there are many experiences and throughout them I earned a lot and also learned a lot. All of them are roots of me and which made me right now. I am so glad I have these things. From writing this essay I reminded many things and made me to look back my life. I truly suggest you to think about memories you have. I am sure it would make you smile and cry.

Brian Kim-Essay 2

This essay is about my favorite book. I like reading books. I like Korean books and also I like foreign books. About ten books are my favorite books. I read them at least more than 3 times. But I want to introduce about just one book named '엄마를 부탁해'(Please look after mom). It's a novel written by Kyung-Sook Shin. For who didn't read this book yet, I will summarize. 
 One day, mother of four grown up children disappear when she was going to her son's home. So her family -husband, sons, and daughters- trying to find her. They find their mom desperately. But she didn't come out easily. And the story goes on. 
 I saw this book when I was in 15 years old. But then, I didn't interested this book. I thought the book is boring. But a year later, I opened the book again because my sister bought same book translated into English version. Of course I didn't read the English version. I read the original. When I read the first page, I totally fell into the book. It was a very moving book. I almost burst into tears.
 After I read the book, I felt sorry and thanks for devotion of every mothers in world, include my mother. They love their children with their whole heart, and they care for us when we were in their womb. The book is saying earnestly about mother's love and our unconcern. I agree with that. Because there is no human's love that can over motherly love.
 Through this book, I was interested in author, Kyung-Sook Shin. So I found her books in library. I read one of them named '깊은 슬픔'(Deep sorrow)'. Then, she became one of my favorite author. I like her style and story line. She is a great writer in Korea. I'm proud of that.
 I recommend you to read her book. You won't be disappointed.

Gandi Essay2

My favorite movie is “Batman Dark Knight”. I like this movie because of three reasons. First, it talks about human’s intrinsic mind. Second, the villain has his own philosophy. Finally, it is not just a happy ending movie with villain losing.

First, the movie talks about human’s intrinsic mind. There is a new hero called Harvey Dent. He is a hero who catches half of the criminals of the city with the law. But, Joker comes to him, and persuades him to become the villain. Then, Harvey becomes a villain. He was the true hero of the city. But inside, he was not that different from the other people. In the movie, Joker says like this: “madness is just like gravity. All you need is just a little push.” Harvey was a person who does not break the law and catches the criminals, and keeps his dream. But Joker, gave him the push.

Second, the villain Joker has his own philosophy. He wants to become the pure evil. He just lives to destroy everything. There are so many villains in the movie and they just care about the money. Joker, does not like that. He just wants evil and burns down all the money. He says that Batman is not too different from himself. Batman and Joker are both weird people. And he says that if the people does not need the Batman anymore, they will just trash him. I think that is true. In the movie, people liked Batman cleaning up the criminals in the city. But as soon as Joker comes, the people starts to hate Batman because they believe that Joker is killing people because of Joker. But, even if Batman takes off the mask and reveals who he really is, the Joker would not stop killing people. If the people starts to think about that, they can find out that it is not Batman’s fault. Joker is trying to tell that the people’s inside is really evil when the dangerous situation.

Finally, the movie is not just happy ending. Most of the hero movies, the hero wins the villain, and the people becomes safe and everybody is happy. But in this movie, it is different. Harvey Dent becomes the villain and tries to kill Batman and kills many people. In that situation Batman had to kill Harvey and save other people. But the city is relying on Harvey that he is really needed. If people know that Harvey the hero became bad and killed many people, the city will become chaos. To prevent that, Batman takes all the situations as like he did it and gets chased by the cops. This means that Joker won. Joker wanted to show people that a hero like Harvey can become like Joker. A madman. And Harvey really did.

In conclusion, the movie shows that people is not kind from the inside. I agree with that. We are not kind from the inside. But we can go over it by Jesus Christ.

essay

Usually, I enjoy reading books. Today, I'm going to talk about my most favorite book "For being bigger than right now, dump me"(더 큰 나를 위해 나를 버려라), the author is my favorite soccer player name J.S Park. He is the best player I have ever seen. He is one of my role model.

 

Before to introduce the book I want to introduce a little about him. He was player of Manchester United FC, also he was a reliable captain for member of the korea national team. The coach and his peer players says he is a amazing player. He has could churnable the game using his astonishing stamina. and showing his amazing leader ship. Right now he retired the member of the national team and left Manchester United FC. But right now he is playing for QPR and being a brilliant captain of the team showing his leadership, and developing his ability.

 

The book is giving a message to us 'be crazy whatever you do'.

It gives us bravery for our future and showing us a sprit of Park sacrifice and his leader ship, also we can see how humble he is. Park was not a clever player or had an remarkable body. Everyone did not even know he will be an famous or join with the top players and being the legend of asia. But he done it , only using his persistent practice and leadership.

He is a flat feet but he overcome it and practice the best he can do.

 

When I was in junior high school, I was very stupid. I didn't studied that much or interest about my future, also my personality was so young. After reading this book I wanted to be like him, so I start doing my best whatever I do. I can learn humble and how to communicate with others. It really help me. But there was an little side effect, after reading this wanted to be a soccer player. So I start practicing soccer every night.

 

I want to show this book and want to introduce Park to others that be lacking in confidence. It will be an excellent choose to read this book.
