3 TESTS

I took 3 tests today. These are tests of A Brief History of American Literature class, Reading, and Intercultural communication but I was so busy to do my home works and I prepared "kaigaikenshu", so I can't study well. Maybe, I think I fail to these classes. (T_T)

I bought an iPod!

Finally, I bought an "iPod" yesterday! I have wanted it for a long time because I love music, so I wanted to listen to music until I went to my university by the train. It takes about 90 minutes, so I am very bored in the train every day. I can listen to a lot of music after today. That is why I looking forward to using the "iPod".

Book Review1-10


My tenth book review is "ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN". We students who take A Brief History of American Literature class second periods on Monday knew this story because we watched the movie in the class, so I also know most of this story.
That is why I talk about the plot.

Huckleberry Finn who called "Huck" by his friends lived with the Widow Douglas in St. Petersburg, Missouri. His best friends are Tom Sawyer and the Widow's black slave, Jim. (In the movie, Tom didn't come on the story.) Huck and Jim traveled down the Mississippi river from St. Petersburg to Cairo in which it was free. On the river, they have a lot of adventures and met a lot of interesting characters.
Huck and Jim often traveled at night because Jim was a runaway slave. Around the time, they were caught if they ran away, so Huck and Jim have to be careful.
Tom Sawyer also loved adventures. Huck liked Tom because he was very smart and he always had a lot of good ideas, but these ideas usually got the boys into trouble.
In this story, Huck thought what real justice is. He wrestled with his conscience over again and again.

I was impressed Jim's lines. He said that not justice everyone believed was real justice. I agreed his opinion. In this world, things I believed are actually untruth.

Heavy Rain makes river!!!!


It rained heavily four days ago and issue warning a heavy rain and local flooding all in Kumamoto Prefecture, so the road near Suizenji station became a river and the drain made whirl! Thus, I couldn't go to my university in that day.

Mt. Aso

Two weeks ago, I went to Mt. Aso with my family.
I took this picture near the mountain summit. Unfortunately, however, it was cloudy. After that, we ate roasted corn. It's very good! I think it is more delicious for me to eat it because I breathed fresh air there. I want to go there again!

Book review 1-09


The book which I chose was "ALICE'S ADVENTURES in WONDERLAND" because this story is very famous and I knew the plot of the story but I forgot most of it, so I want to know this story and I want to read this book. I think most of people know this story, but anyway, I talk about the outline.

A girl named Alice was bored while on a picnic with her older sister, who was reading a book which had no pictures or conversations in it. Alice was interest in a passing white rabbit that was dressed in a waistcoat and he said he would be too late. She followed the rabbit down a rabbit hole, then she found herself that she fail down into a dreamlike world. As she continued to try to follow the rabbit, she had several adventures. She grew to great big size and then got smaller. She met a group of small animals swimming in a sea of her own tears, and got stuck in the rabbit's house when she enlarged herself again. After meeting the Duchess, she carried away a baby which changed into a pig, and then met the Cheshire cat, which disappears, leaving only its smile behind. She joined the Mad Hatter and the March Hare at a never-ending tea party. Then, she went to the seashore and met a Gryphon and a Mock Turtle. Finally she attended the trial of the Knave of Hearts, who has been accused of stealing tarts. Just as Alice refused the Queen of the hearts. Eventually, the dream ended and Alice woke up at the picnic with her sister.


I think "ALICE'S ADVENTURES in WONDERLAND" is a masterpiece of fantasy and full of dreams. Moreover, this story is a famous fantasy story as above, so this story has an impact on various works such as literature, paintings, comic books, animations, movies, TV, and music.
