*SCARY MOVIE*

I read ‘SCARY MOVIE.’ The story of it was the two girls were entrusted nursing Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s baby. And they gave the scary DVD to the two girls as a salary. Then Mr. Smith tapped the top of a glass cage on his way out and talked to something. But the two girls did not understand. When they started to watch the DVD some black, hairy thing was moving top of the couch. They were really surprised at it and the thing was a huge spider! Finally, Mr. & Mrs. Smith came back to home so the two girls were relieved very much.

I also do not like the scary DVD and am not good at the bugs any more. Especially, I hate the spiders!! If I experience the incidence like the two girls experienced, I will die!! (140 words)

1-03b Many kinds of relationships and traditional culture

In this movie, many important things in the real life for us! The main theme of the Lolo and Stitch was the bond between others. There were many kinds of relationships. I found some of them, for example, friendship between Lilo and Stitch, friendship between Lilo’s sister and her boyfriend, relationship between Lilo and her sister, relationship between stitch and a scientist and relationship among sisters and their parents.

Most impressive relationship in the movie was ‘relationship among sisters and their parents.’ One day the Hawaiian restaurant hire older sister because of the accident, so she had no job. The promise with a child protect man to live Lilo and older sister together was ‘To get her new job’, but she could not. On he eve of before he took in Lilo, Lilo and older sister talk about future and family. They said ‘Wherever we are, remember that we are together in our heart.’ Their parents always say so before they died. It was like a motto for family. When I heard that phrase, I thought the relationship among my parents and me. I am planning to get my job in other prefecture.

When I taught my parents about my think, they look really worries about my life in other prefecture but I want to tell them Lilo’s family’s motto, "Wherever we are, remember that we are together in our hearts." So I want also remember their great motto. If we forget the importance of our family, it is really vexing.

In addition, I could see many traditional cultures in the movie. For example, fula, local languages and traditional foods and so on. In the movie Lilo taught stitch the fula to get along with other people. When he practices the fula on the beach, many people came together to him to watch his dance. He was a good dancer and his dance was really pretty!

We have a traditional dance in Kumamoto. It is otemoyan dance. The original Otemoyan was a traditional folk song. The story about a girl Otemo, then it became the traditional dance with the song. In Kumamoto, the Otemoyan dance is included in the Hinokuni festival in Kumamoto City. If we go to downtown during obon, we can see it. I go and see it every year, because when I see it, I can feel summer and excitement from the dance. (396 words)
