My Favorite Movie

-

    A movie that I really liked was called "The Truman Show".  It was made in 1998, and Jim Carrey starred. It was directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol. It won the Golden Globe Awards, The Hugo Awards and the Saturn Award. 

    Truman Burbank was the star of the truman Show and he had lived in the Seahaven Island, which was actually a huge TV program set. The only person who didn't know that the town was a fake one was Truman, and the other people were actors. The life of Truman was broadcasted on TV 24 hours a day. It was not until 30 years have passed that Truman noticed something of the island was wrong and it was a fake one. After some attempts to get out of the island, he finally made it and the TV show finished. It was very interesting and fun to see Truman's attempts and how Truman's life events had been affected by things happened in the real world.

    I think this movie is related to many people because everyone has come up with the idea that he was the star and watched by someone or that the world he couldn't see didn't exist. This movie showed what it would be like if those ideas were true, and finally Truman got out of the island. I guess virtually all people have wished they could flee from reality and live in the world where they really want to. That's why I found this related, even though it didn't seem so apparently, and fun to watch.

It's Important to Be Honest during Interviews.

-
Today I listened to a podcast called “It's Important to Be Honest during Interviews”. I found 10 key-words in the podcast : anxiety unforgivable to bring up walgreens half-way lie-detector get it off my chest position janitor inclined Then I wrote a paragraph.      I have a thing I want to get off my chest so I won't suffer from anxiety anymore. When I worked as a janitor of Walgreens, I went back home in your jacket by accident. It was a very cold day so you had a tough time, I guess. I found it was yours half-way home but I didn't go back and the following day, I came to the office early in the morning and hung it up in your locker so you wouldn't see who made trouble. I knew that was unforgivable, however, I couldn't tell you that, afraid of losing my position. I guess you knew that because I was the only person who came to the office earlier than you. It was your mercy not to do lie-detector test on me.  That is the thing I have been inclined to say that until t...

Driver's License

 Hello, everyone! What do you spent your university days?  Studying? Working part-time? Circle activities? I am studying (practicing driving) to get a driver's license. This is not hard very much, but it takes time. Hopefully, I will get one by the end of this month. I can't wait to get my own car, although I don't have enough money...

Babilonia

-
      Hello, everyone. Today I will write about Babilonia. Do you know what Babilonia is? You are science students, so I guess not all of you know this. Babilonia is an ancient civilization. This is famous for establishing the world's oldest statutory law, called the Code of Hammurabi. This is written by unknown letters (at least when it was found), so it was not until 1835 that researchers found out what it says. At the Louvre museum, you can see this engraved on a stone.     This stipulated how criminals should be punished. Those look very severe to today's civilians. For example, death penalties were applied for females who had entered a pub, those who had harbored fleeing slaves, and females who had divorced their husbands without a "good" reason. The stipulation also included a lot of elements from the superstition of Babilonia. When there were conflicts between Babylonians, defendants were forced to dive into a river. It was believed that guilties would dr...
