L.A. Raid

This story is about a private detective, Lenny Samuel. One day, there was a big news, $ 100000000 was stolen from the First City Bank on Sunset Boulevard this morning. The raider put on a duck musk, and he/she escaped by a mortorbike. Then, the stolen case by duck musk have increased suddenly. Who was the laider, and why did he/she steal the big money?

I don’t like detective genre, Because there are a lot of characters in a story. Logan Series, which is in CUP, is the worst. Those are really tired. This story is too. I never have read those detective genre without Meitantei Conan.

Jesus Christ Superstar

I looked up Hosanna in a dictionary, because the word was difficult for me. In my images, the meaning is something good. The dictionary tell me that “Hosanna is an expression of adoration, praise or joy.” I also could not comprehend the meaning of adoration. I use the dictionary again. It tell me that the adoration is love for the god. This movie increase my English vocabulary.

By the way, originally, Hosanna means “Please help me!” in Hebrew. In the Christian religion, that meaning is the adoration.It is kind of applause like amen or hallelujah. I have never say these words, so I will do that tomorrow.

This movie is like Les Miserables. Musical movie is difficult to understand the story because I could not listen to the words! When I watched Les Miserables, I had same idea. However, this time our professor gave us the handout of the lyrics. It help me to obtain the story easily. The musical itself was fun. Other classes should use this musical class style.

FANTASIC CREATURES

A long, long time ago, people didn’t have books or the Internet to help them understand their world. They told stories, often about animals. These stories helped people understand their world.

In Harry Potter series, There are a lot of wonderful creatures. Goblins, trolls, unicorns , something like that. I like them. Those animals are fun because they do not exist in this world. (Probably, exist.) At least, I have not seen those animals. Their existence expand my images. Although, I read thisbook.

There are stories about mermaids in many different countries. Mermaids are half woman, and another half is fish. I think that ancient sailors perhaps saw sea animals called manatees and thought they were mermaids. That thing is the start of mermaids legends.

In this book, many creatures appeared. Nessie, dragons,bigfoot. But I don’t like UMA because they do not have dreams which expand my imaginations.

Wild Country

I was feeling quite fed up actually.

I was very hot, my legs hurt again, and I was tired of watching Ellen and Grant together.

She was still touching his arm when she spoke to him, and they were still laughing together all the time.

 

This story’s genre was Romance. I like it, but this story was normal and I wasn’t excited. I want to read a romance which I can’t guess the end and excite me.

Wild Country was Tess’s father’s company in France. Tess worked there as a tour leader for group walking holiday. Grant worked there too, and he was handsome and a man of ability, while she wasn’t. Their relation was so bad. One day, they went to a same tour. Tess had a lot of faults. The tour beamed bad gradually. However, Grant helped her, in the end, they became good partner.

The Beast

Are you afraid of the dark? You are right to be afraid. 

We live in the darkness and there we do our work.

You can be sure that we want only what is bad.

I read “The Beast.” The genre is Horror. The main character is Susie Blackmore, she is a photographer, lives in London.

Susie has been suffered from bad dreams which someone calls her since her father died. Her husband was worried about her appearance, he suggest her to take a vacation with each other. They decided to go Wales. Unfortunately, one snowy day, they have a traffic accident….

I was scared while reading this book because Susie’s experience, someone calls her in her dream was so strange for me.  In the story, There are some scenes about the voice of beast, it was also strange, although, little bit hard to read.
