Writing Essay 3, Movie Review (BENNY & JOON)
I will talk about one of my favorite movies called “BENNY & JOON”. It’s a Romantic-comedy. It was released on 16 April in 1993. The director is Jeremiah S. Chechik. The cast includes Johnny Depp who plays the role of Sam, Mary Stuart Masterson as Joon, Aidan Quinn as Benny, and Julianne Moore as Ruthie. This movie is about a woman who is mentally ill finds her love in an eccentric man.
Joon and her brother, Benny lived in a small town. Joon had a mentally illness, so after they lost their parents, Benny who worked for an auto mechanic took care of her very hard. However he was really hesitant about whether or not to leave her in a facility. The doctor and his friends advised him to do that, because he always put Joon first. He never went out because of his sister.
Benny and Joon were in his friend’s house as always, and when he left the house for a bit, she was playing poker with his friends. Because she lost, she had to take care of her friend’s cousin, Sam. He is quiet, eccentric, and didn’t know how to read or write. However Sam was growing on Joon.
One day, Benny, Joon and Sam went on a picnic, but Benny was feeling down. He blew his first date with Ruthie, so Sam started to mime to cheer him up. His pantomime was incredible, and a crowd of people had gathered around him. Benny was amazed with Sam’s pantomime, and secretly made an appointment for an audition. However Joon didn’t like that idea and they started to argue. Then while arguing, Benny found out they were in a relationship. He got mad and kicked Sam out. That night, Sam and Joon tried to run away, but she had a panic attack on the bus. She went straight to the mental hospital.
She kept refusing to see Benny, and finally realized that what she needed was Sam. Benny and Sam sneaked into the hospital, and tried to take her home. After they had talked, Joon decided to live together with Sam. And so, Benny rekindled his love with Ruthie who is their caretaker now.
I love this movie because the love is really pure, and every little thing they do is really funny. For example, Joon always makes special drinks with the blender in the morning. The special drink has milk, peanut butter, and some cereal. Sam toasts bread with the iron on the ironing board. He also prepares crab in the dishwasher. He always creates great music with many things, and every time more and more funny.
My favorite scene is in the diner when Sam was playing with the rolls, and juggling the plates. Then he plays two roles by himself with Ruthie. My other favorite scene is at the hospital when he first starts swinging across the window to see Joon, and falls. They are really funny and I laughed out loud every time. The scene where Sam said, “I love you” to Joon is the sweetest thing ever. I love that scene. When I watched it for the first time, I was moved. I watched this movie over and over. I recommend it to you.
You can watch “BENNY & JOON” here GyaO for free now:D!

How I Study English
I have some friends and host families in State. I text them a lots! We are keeping in touch very well. I sometimes chat or call them, or they call me. Talking on the phone is pretty expensive, so we always use the skype.
I go to English conversation school three or four times a week. I love my teachers and friends there. That English school is very comfortable to stay. When I go downtown to hang out with some friends, I go to that English school even I don’t have any lessons. I bring my friends there a lot. They have parties often, so I try to go parties, because there are many native English speakers. And it is really fun to talk with them.
I write diary and write schedule in English. I write little letters or text in English to some friends of mine even they are Japanese. I always try to use or speak English, because I love talking in English and want to improve my English speaking skill.

movie, Bowling for Columbine
・I want to tell you about this movie called “Bowling for Columbine”.
It’s American documentary film written, directed, produced by, and starring Michael Moore.
・He seeks to find out why the Columbine massacre occurred and why there are so many gun murders in the United State.
People say that’s because there are many violent movies, video games, domestic troubles, high unemployment, and violent history. However Japan is ahead in video games, there are more domestic troubles in England, the American unemployment isn’t as high as Canada, and Germany has more violent history.
・In Canada, the gun’s coverage is higher than the United State, but they don’t have gun murders as much as the United State. …….
Moore interviewed some famous people without appointment to find out.
・The interesting part was the interview with Marilyn Manson.He was accused by some people about the Columbine massacre, just because the criminals were listening to his songs. The phrase that Manson said to Moore; “Campaign of Fear and Consumption” is the most suitable phrase about this movie’s question, why there are so many gun murders in the United State.
I think he talked much much better than other voters, especially the guy who is the top of the rifle association? It's funny the person who was accused about that incident talks much better stuff. And his way of thinking, too though. I think that he has the most important point about this movie.
・Many people say that that’s because people in America can get guns easily, and they can have guns. And that’s what I thought, too. So it means it must be related with some culture stuff.
・The director found out it’s about the “Culture of Fear”. America has the culture of fear.
People feel fear and scare, so they buy arms to protect themselves.It’s like this. The American commercial says “If you have bad breath, people are not going to talk to you. So here, you should buy this!” People get scare, and they buy it. So many media show some scary news or commercials on TV. But that’s the American economy is. That’s why they have culture of fear.
We can’t have gun, because it’s illegal. But there are gun murders in Japan. Many people have two keys at door, they are getting some crime prevention stuff, parents take their kids cell phone to protect them, and the guards take care about kids to school. Many people know nothing about their neighbors.
・Are we getting the culture of fear little by little? I hope Japanese can noticed something before it’s too late. It’s big and too difficult problems in that movie. But that movie was something. It was good to watch it for one time in my life, I think.

MEST
First, let me say......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOSHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did u have an awesome birthday??? I hope u did:D!!!
Hotel room, good dive:P
Fuct Up Kid
Rooftops
I gonna talk about one band called MEST!
Maybe I told u before but they are my first favorite PUNK-ROCK band:D
It was 3 years ago. I met one guy from LA and we just hit it off. We hung out together everyday and everyday.
He was used to work for DJ so he knows sooo much about music.
He recommended me MEST, and I just love their music.
When we drove to somewhere, we were listened to their songs over and over.
Sometimes we had fun singing their songs at loud in the car:P
Now our life changed a little, and we can’t hang out together like we did before, but still, we try to make time to meet sometimes.
When I listen to their songs, sometimes they remind me about him and some stupid and crazy stuff we did together clearly.
Meeting him was something.
It was big thing for me tho.
Anyway that’s how I started to love Punk-Rock music!!
So the band, MEST is really special band for me.
The bad thing is that they already broke up before I started to love them, so I maybe never could go to their concert=(
I put some their music here. My favorite songs are Until I Met U, and 2000miles, but I couldn't find their videos, so check them out!
I mean YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM!!!:P

Bowling for Columbine
The language of flower is “longing”.
I hope the bud would come out soooooon, I can’t wait for that!
Anyway I was dying to do honors homework. Well I think everyone were in that class right, Yoshie?
It was just sooo tough tho.
We had to write an essay about the movie “Bowling for Columbine”.
Has anyone ever watched that movie before?
It’s about the guns in State.
The director thinks why there are so many gun murders in America.
Many people say that that’s because people in America can get guns easily, and they can have guns. And that’s what I thought, too.
But here’s the thing. Canadian have more guns than America, but the gun murders are much smaller than state. The gun murders in America are more than 11,000, but less than 200 in Canada. That’s pretty interesting, right?
So it means it must be related with some culture stuff.
The director found out it’s about the “Culture of Fear”.
America has the culture of fear. People feel fear and scare, so they buy arms to protect themselves.
It’s like this. The American commercial says “If you have bad breath, people are not gonna talk to you. So here, you should buy this!” People get scare, and they buy it. So many media show some scary news or commercials on TV. But that’s the American economy is. That’s why they have culture of fear.
The interesting part was the talking with MARILYN MANSON.
They were accused by some people about the miserable incident in Columbine high, just because the criminals were listening at their songs even the president was attacking the country on that day. That’s so stupid right?
I think he talked much much much better than other voters, especially the guy who is the top of the rifle association? I mean it's funny the person who was accused about that incident talks much better stuff. And his way of thinking, too though. I think that he has the most important point about this movie.
The director says it’s also warning for British people.
But hey, here in Japan should think about too. We can’t have gun, because it’s illegal. But look, there are gun murders in Japan. Many people have two keys at door, they are getting some crime prevention stuff, parents take their kids cell phone to protect them, and the guards take care about kids to school. Many people know nothing about their neighbors.
Are we getting the culture of fear little by little? I hope Japanese can noticed something before it’s too late.
It was so hard to write an essay about it. It’s big and too difficult problems in that movie. But that movie was something. It was good to watch it for one time in my life, I think.

Food and Food Habits
I don’t like vegetable and fish. I mean I can eat them and I eat them sometimes. I always eat main dish first and I get full before I eat vegetables, and I don’t want to eat them, because I don’t like them very much.
That’s why I always get canker sores. I sometimes get three or more of them at the same time, so I go to hospital or burn them with baking soda. It really hurts but it is the easiest way to cure them. I take some pills and applications for canker sores with me. My mom gets mad if I don7 finish up my vegetables, because she loves cooking and l make plans thinking about good diet.My eating habit is putting mayonnaise on. I put it on almost everything even rice or low fish. I can’t eat vegetables or fish without mayonnaise on. I know it makes me get fat if I take it a lot, but I vna7t quit. I even take little mayonnaise with me to school for lunch.

The Bird's Wedding, Book Review
It was such a cute story and happy ending which I love=)
It was about two little birds. They felled in love at first sight. The blackbird was the bridegroom, and the thrush was the bride. They are so nice and kind, so they got so many presents for wedding. They got beautiful wedding dress, flowers, wedding feast and so on. They were all great and every bird was happy about their wedding. The wedding was great; every bird sung beautiful songs and danced.
I really liked the book’s pictures. They were so soft and cute. I love that smell of picture books. I liked that they have a small music on that book. It was really nice and fun.

The Truth Machine; Book Review
One professor invented new machine called truth machine. He called one news reporter and introduced it. He said that it is a machine to find out if people tell truth or not. He told everyone that he loves truth, peace, and good people.
He invited three people who are a house wife, a police man, a spy. At first, the house wife brought her husband and asked him if he loves another woman. He said yes and she found he loves her best friend.
Next, the police man came in with criminals. He could find out who had to go to jail, but his boss said “we don’t need you, now!”
After that, the spy came in with another spy. He asked the spy if he has another special secret or not. He talked about it a lot, but said “I never tell the truth, I always tell lies.” at last. He got so confused and things went worth.
They visited the professor and asked him “Do you really love the truth, peace, and good people?!”, but the professor answered “I love money, power, and lies!” They were all so mad, and the police man pulled his gun and shot him. The spy had broken the truth machine.
I was surprised they killed the professor at last, because when I started to read this book, I thought the professor was gonna help people and he was a good man. These days, many professors invent new machines, science is developed and they help a lot, but it isn’t always good for us. There are so many stuff that we don’t need. Many people say is wealthy better than poverty? I think that that’s big problem that we have to think about.

Golden Week
Introduction, Writing Essay 1
I love music, especially punk rock music and shopping. I often go to Fukuoka to go to concerts and to shop. It takes about 2 hours to Fukuoka by bus. I also love to decorate my nails. I draw something with a tiny brush and sometimes make 3D art with special goods. My favorite shop is in Kumamoto, and they have many kinds of nail things like pierced nails. I like shopping there and have pierced nails that go with each holiday such as Christmas or Halloween.
What do you do on the weekend? I often go downtown to go shopping, or have lunch or dinner with my friends. I sometimes make cards or scrap books on the weekend. I go to English conversation school 3 times a week. All the teachers and students are really nice, and I love to talk with them in English. They often have parties, and many Japanese and foreigners come to party. It’s fun to talk to many people there.
What is the weather like over there? What is popular in your city? My city is named Kumamoto. It’s in southern Japan. Kumamoto is famous for good water, hot springs, and lots of greenery. The most famous mountain is Mt. Aso. It has the biggest caldera in the world. There is a botanical garden, a zoo, and Lake Ezu near my house. It’s really good to walk around on a nice day. You can see beautiful cherry blossoms in the street during spring time. I always have a party under the cherry blossoms with my friends. I live in a really beautiful city. Are you interested in Japan? Have you ever been to Japan before? If you have, which parts of Japan did you visit? If you haven’t, what is your stereotype about Japan? When I stay at your home, I would like to tell you a lot of things about Japanese culture, lifestyle, environment, and language. I also want to learn a lot of things about your country. I would be so glad if we share our culture and learn many things about each other.
I love talking and making new friends. While I stay over there, I want to chat with you, make a lot of friends, and try everything. I hope we can have a lot of fun together. If I have a chance, I would also like to go to a concert. Do you have any food allergies? I want to cook some Japanese food for you. Is there anything else that I should know about your family? I want to have an enjoyable stay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I’m really looking forward to seeing you.
