Essay 2-02a: Robin Hood

Probably many people recognize Robin Hood as a famous person, but the origin of
it is from an animal, a fox that work with, a bear, Little John.
Little John is good at stealing many things from the rich. After that
he gives them to the poor. Because of his actions, he is regarded as a
hero by the poor, while he is regarded as annoying bear by the
rich.There is a reason why they are good at stealing money. It is
because they are also good at disguising.


One day,  he steals something worthy from a king who loves money very
much. The king rules a place in which people are forced to pay much
money and it makes them difficult to live. While they are struggling to
live in the severe environment, Little John and Robin Hood appear to
help them. Robin Hood pretend to be a augur, who stares at someone’s
hands and say their future. While he pretends, he steals much money and
distribute money around the town. Little John also works as a guardman
of Robin Hood. As a result, it makes people happy and the king
annoyed.


There was a very cute girl in a castle. Her name was Marian which was also
fox. She and Robin Hood loved each other  for a long time. They couldn’t
see for a long period. That’s why she felt that he didn’t love her or
forget her existence, but it was not true and he loved her. Marian had a
close friend, Crack which supported their lovely relationship.

One day, Robin Hood heard about a rumor that a shooting competition had
been going to be held. As a result, he could attend it and win. This
competition was held to attract him by King who hated Robin.The king
knew that Robin would win the competition before it was held and he
tried to catch Robin after the competition,but He could escape from the
king because of support of many people who lived in the country and
loved Robin.


Robin’s action reminded me of a phrase said by Mother Teresa. She said: ‘if
you want to be loved, you have to love. This phrase is applicable to
his action. Actually, he didn’t hope that he was loved,but he was nice
and as a result he was loved and he made many people happy. When he was
in danger, he was helped by many people who loved or were grateful for
Robin’s action. Robin did something morally right but he did something
illegally wrong. That’s why I can decide whether what  he did is cool
or not. 


Totally, I like this movie. I could learn about something I didn’t know and
remind me of what justice is. Recently, I am studying the UN. The UN
stands for the united nations which is one of the biggest organization
to keep the world piece. I think the UN seems similar to Robin’s action
because the organization tries to help many people improve their
lifestyle and other many things,but there is a totally different point
between the UN and Robin’s action which is that he did something for
many people with courage and he didn’t expect any return from them,while
the UN try to help people and developed countries develop more and
earn more money. I sometimes forget what is right and wrong morally. I
think I should do something morally right even it is thought to be bad
from the vision of many people. I recommend that many people should
watch this movie. Especially I want  this movie be watched by teenagers
like me. Teenagers have lived more than ten years and they have some
opinions about what justice is. This movie gives them an opportunity to
consider it gain.

I think I used some kinds of English for this semester's assignment. When I wrote BRs, I tried to write them as easy as possible because there is a simple reason which is in order for myself and readers to understand smoothly. It is very helpful for me to review my grammar skill. This is important to improve writing skill. Writing BRs made me understand how to introduce books in order to attract readers.

During this semester especially summer vacation, I tried to post some essays in which I typed more than 700 words. This was my goal to do each day of summer vacation. Although it made me  really annoyed to spend summer vacation, when I was satisfied with the amount of words I had written, I felt nostalgic to work on blogging hard. It was interesting to look for topics to post such long essays. At fast, I didn't have nothing to write about. The more time spent, the more I noticed that news around me happens all the time. Before I wrote articles with such a aim, I hesitated to write something I want to write in English, now I am becoming not to hesitate to do so.

In English learning, it is essential to write. It is inevitable to output ability with speaking or writing. Writing is one of output ways, but this is totally different from the other. I think I made full use of this opportunity to write some various kinds of English essays.

BR2-18: Marty and the Magazine

Have you even done something illegal? I think most of the readers of this blog will say 'no'. In my case, the answer is also 'no'. When I was a junior high school student, I often used to go to one of my friends' house which is located nearby my house. He doesn't live there now though. One day, I went there as usual. He was there and I tried to ask him to do something fun, but unfortunately we couldn't find anything fun. Finally, he suggested that we try to buy a box of cigarette to smoke. I couldn't believe what he said. He was not the like. He was a kind of ideal person for his parents. I thought we would let our parents down if we had smoked. I stopped him from trying to buy it.

In this book's story, what I above is similar. it is really hard for people to stop friends from doing something wrong but important for them to be safe. 

I want you to read this book in the future. I expect you to get something important from this book.

BR2-17: BATTLE of the BANDS

When I was younger, I have eagerness to try to compete something with other people.
I think it made me really strong and grow up. When I was a 6 year-old boy, I often ran with my friends to compete. It was interesting and the most important thing I did during that time.

This book's story tell us what competition is and reminds us of how eager we were when we were young. In this story, characters compete rendition of rock and roll which is mysterious for me. Even though rock and roll is hard music without competition, they compete their performance of it. Needless to say, it is so noisy and fun for some people.

All of people have at least one  experience to compete with someone ,for example, brothers, friends, parents, or even teachers. It absolutely makes us better and is helpful in the future.

If you want to read this book, please go to KGU library, it is easy to read this book.
