a heartbreaking moment

It’s the same old room. The same old smell. The same old settings. Except this time, the girl is crying. Crying so hard, that the makeup has melted. The gradually fainted eyeliner revealed the girl’s sadness. For the very first time, the girl speaks. “I am sorry. Let’s start everything over.” The stillness of the boy from the opposite of the room triggers more tears. The girl starts weeping. Weeping so hard, that the girl thinks she might faint. “We are done.” Comes from the far corner of the room. Without emotions. The room goes back to the quietness. Girl tries to talk, but the crying is in her way. She touches the bed, looks mildly at the cold back of the boy, trying to soothe her mood. With a deep breathe, she talks again. “Is there really no way to fix us? I don’t want to live without you.” Another silence breaks the girl’s confidence completely. Puts the dignity aside, she knees down and begs. But nothing can alter the boy’s determined mind. “Now, you get your answer. You are wasting my time.” And the boy leaves the room, not even lay his eyes once on the devastating girl.

letters.

Dear John:
I really appreciate the letter u sent me. And it reminds me of every single detail when you were my student. You are a brilliant guy. You have remembered the stuffs I told you and apply those to your own witting. I am really impressed.
About the tour to Europe I suggested, I am glad that you didn't have to experience the shame. Although the Great Depression did hurt me in some ways. But that is not the point. Look at what you have achieved right now, all by yourself, without any exterior forces. And winning the Nobel Prize.
last, again. Thanks for the greeting and this letter.
Best Regard.
Edith Mirrielees

charley.

It is a sunny day, just like usual. But today’s slightly different. John and I are going to the Yellowstone Park. I have never been to anywhere that far before, except the one time that I almost got washed away by a river, but anyway, I am all excited about this.

As we reached the gate, there is a man rambling something about a bear. I have no idea what his point is. All I am thinking is running around in the huge park to strength out limbs. My long legs are all tense and stiff because of stay in indoor all the time. Finally, John and the man finish their pointless talking and take me into the park.

As we walk, I sense a feeling of danger. I persuade myself into believing that I am just being paranoid. Suddenly, a giant bear pop out in front of me, and scare the crap out of me. Probably is the hormone or other thing in my body, I feel so strong and brave all of the sudden.

I barked.

And barked

And barked.

finally everything is calm as before again. only one thing is different.

I turned to look at John. He is looking at me with this weird look, as if he couldn't even recognize me no more.

I bark at John again, wish to scare him and wash away that look on his face.

I don't get this. How come John doesn't know what kind of dog I am?

Death ain't Dark

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

>>Plot: *****

>>Charaters: *** (not special but tightly related to the plot)

>>Setting: ***

With a scary title, this novel is actually mild and encouraging. Although, the plot is more like a ghost story, but it is not. This strong opening of this novel has intrigued me deeply into the book. The first thought that came to me when i read the first sentence is that, if the main character died in the very beginning, then how in the world could the author continue the story. However, as i finished, I was very impressed about this book. The author tells the story in a very different way than other novels. There are not many books out there with a dead main character. On the rating chart, I said that the characters tied closely to the plot is because the author has taken advantage of the main character's age (By the way, she is dead because of being killed at the age of 14). Since she died in a such young age, that fact has drawn lots of interests from the readers.

Destind Love

P.S. I Love You - Cicelia Ahern

>> Plot: *****

>> Characters: *****

>> Setting: ***

Unlike other novel-based movies, the movie P.s. I Love You is actually somewhat better than the novel. However, i am not saying that the novel is bad, it's just that there are few movies that are as good as the book. Sung Min had recommended me the book, she said, "whoever reads it, will fall in love with this book". Well, this is supposed to be a secret, but i actually found this book ok. Even though, it dose have a creative plot, contrast to other cliche love stories. However, I am just not that a big fan of pure romance. As for recommendation, I would still recommend this to people who are seeking for a good cry and feeling touched inside, then this book will be the best choose. (PS. I do recommend the movie though, the actor is hot!!!)

Daughters Dilemma

My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult

>>Plot: *****

>>charatcers: *****

>>Setting: *****

This is book is definately one of my favourite novel ever. When I feel like I am so sick of unrealistic love novels, Karen recommened this book to me. Although, I have heard of this book long before, Karen had recommended it, but she insisted that this book is the kind of book that if i don't read, then i would regret the rest of my life. However, after i finished the book, Karen was right. This book is awesome. I am not telling what is happening in the story, because i don't want to spoil it for people who havnt read it yet. Any how, this book does have a surprising ending. The kind of ending that I wasn't expacting, because Anna is my favourite charater among all. (opss!!) At the beginning of the novel, i didn't like Sara, who is the mother, but as i read toward the end, i changed my opinion on this. Because i figured out that there is actually no right or wrong in this issue. Since it is impossible to determine love as a tangible value.

the captured moments.

Those pictures gave a vivid visualizations to the essay. They provived a better understanding to the readers that how was it like during the "Department of Agriculture". Also, as the old version, black and white kind of photos, they deepened readers' impression on the topic.

#1)
A couple stood in front of their so called "house", which was actually an old tent, they looked directly into the camera. Their facial expressions were plane. as if they have finished doing a day's hard work. Although, their overall facial expressions were plane, but there seemed to have a slight curve upon their lips.

#2)
After several nights' hard rain, the road that used to served as walking path had been flooded with water. There were two girls carrying a buckets to remove the water away from their "home". Those huge containers lining across in the picture were people's homes. Without any privacy, people who lived there closed up their curtains, in order to feel a little bit safer. This must be a warm spring, because the tree had just experienced hard rain and winter and left leafless.

#3)

Two kids are playing in front of their "home", who seem not have been influenced by the horrible surroundings. All of their furnitures are laied out around their tent. There are some branches set at the end of their tent, in order to suppport the tent more stabily. Another boy peaking from inside the tent seems like he just woke up from a uncomfy nap. Overall their condition doesn't seem to affect the kid's moods on playing.
