permanent memory in ESL class

We have experienced a very sexy and colorful presentation during the last couple of weeks. To our surprise, all the groups chose the movie called "some like it hot. Having seen the movie called "Some Like it Hot", a lot of joyful and funny edition left me deep impression. What Jessica asked us to do was to come up with some different idea for playing all the gender who happened in the movie. We take advantage of what we could think about and did our best for every characters. I have to compare the presentation this time with previous presentation. I have achieved both on organization and imitation. We worked as a group and helped each other. Frankly speaking, all guys were playing naturally in the role. They even made some animation for the presentation which triggered a series of laughter. Although it was reported that "no body is perfect" in the movie, we seemed really enjoying this time and we are going to take these video as our souvenirs linking with our friendship.

By the way, we have done two kinds of presentation which composed of music and arts. Actually, I was little bit nervous about saying something valuable to classmates in first presentation so that I had ever recite several classical literatures for expanding the horizon among our classmates. I really appreciated about what I have done that because the previous preparation has become an effective way in learning English especially I can know some background culture and pop culture. Learning some story for music singer like Madonna and Dylan, they have achieved a lot of rewards and reputation. I have thought about why they can show the passion without any condemnents. They just find the way they like, as well as the arts what we have known after those singers. Their photographs have revealed the culture from different level of the complicated community at that time. They made it possible that human beings have desire to pursue their dream as diversity reason.

To tell the truth, the last presentation was perfect and deep inside everyone's mind. We have shared our perfprmance and ebjoyed our knowledge for hard work. I know we can not talking around easily after this week because what we have done in ESL will give us the final evaluation to see if we are going to stay in ESL or going to study for Bachelor degree. I will never clear the memory for being freind with these classmates coming from different countries. I will never forget about their voice and expression for talking. Once we have been doing our best for presentation and then we are going to find the better life. Whatever the future is, we should bring home to ourseleves we have been familiar with American culture and we should broadcast what we have learned sharing our relationship. There will be no more regretful scene in my heart. We are just like a family, I really love them.

Play an opposite gender

People have paid more attention to improving their recreational lives after the improvement of their material lives like. Some of people open their mind and think a way make cator or actress different; indeed, the way playing an opposite gender has came into being by their creative thoughts. I have seen a lot of famouse actor or actress playing an opposite charactor.During my ESL study, I have experienced and enjoyed a play with my friends who played the opposite gender from a man to woman. I think courage is one of the most important factor when people play an opposite gender. As far as my friends concerned, they had to make a sacrific for their play. It is necessary for them to put a new idea into their play so that more highlight can be focused on their performance.Meanwhile, it is not fit for everybody to play as an opposite gender because sometimes we can not grasp the identity and thoughts for the charactor we are going to play.

Our presentation is related to the movie itself and the imitation is the critical highlight for every member in group. We should make a teamwork for helping our friends who played an opposite gender. For instance, James, who is very funny in regular time, played an man whose identification has ever changed as a woman in movie. He played wonderful and perfect for his voice and action. Hardly can I thought about what he played was really like a woman. Although his charactor was found a man, he insisted on marraging with a man and he was totally playing like a gay. Technically, we can play array kins of characors and make them vivid like a real life. Basically, to play an opposite way have expanded our horizon for looking forward the funny and significant way which can bring happinies for everyone.

A Streetcar Named Desire

Although the movie is belonging to white-and-black film, it is more obviously that the figures are more vivid than the colour. Covered with lies, the story was going as a rule that revealing the essence of the actress who has been looking upon people and nervous disposition.The reason why she looks upon the people around her was that she holds the view taht she still has a beautiful face. As for her profligacy , she met a teenage boy who comes by to collect money for the newspaper. She told a lie that a millionair often contects with her. Moreover,She even interfere the life between Stella and Stanley and she wanted Stanlry getting away from her sister. She also met a guy who named Mitch with soft-spoken and timid. Mitch wanted the heart from Blanche can be captured by his sincerity.



There is no exaggeration that Blanche is not a good model can be immitated. I really like the description about showing her life in Stella's house. This movie totally express the self-concepts, emotions,attitudes and behavior for everyone. It is apparent that the "desire" can be ranged from social problem to personal problem. Any function of details told me that both the actor and actress are the people who could be concluded by the idiom that a fox can grow grey but never good.



I think the most sympathetic charactor was Blanche, the least one was Stella. They have the relatianship and Blanche had stay in Stella's home for a long time until she was taken by doctor. Blanche need to be loved and forget the past. What she has experienced indicated that she was so fragile that she can not escape the past. Stella is a neutral person that sometimes she could make some idea for her sister.Although she is always fought by her husband, she can bear in mind and make some fun in her heart. Taken by what the Dichens said in A tale of two city that it was a best time and it was the worst time. Stella lived in a correspondingly simple house so basically she can be taken care of by Stanley sometimes. She could not make a lot of complain about Stanley because she need a place to live even she has been living a rude and unhappy life.


Looking back from the begenning to she became unconcious, the scene that she disliked Stanley, and she often quarreled with him as some sensative issue.Without concious about meeting with Mitch, Blanche really needed a human affection after her husband dead. At the same time, Mitch was relly interested in Blanche and fell in love with her. Blanche should have had a corresponding better life but her numerous sexual liaisons nad been said by Stanley made Mitch believe something reason he could not live with Blanche any more.She was also fired because she had an affair with a teenage. With depressed, Mitch even didn't attend the party which Blanche held. Stanley indicated to Blanche that Mitch was aware of her past. Eventually Blanche confessed her story in the past. She just wanted a man who can marry her, but she refused what Mitch wanted to have sex with her. At last she was raped by Stanley whatever she risisted. After weeks later, she was tatally wild when a doctor and nurse came to see her. Blanche still imaginated that she can be rescued by her ideal millionaire. Frankly, Blanche subdue herself into the bad ending.

summary for the art

There is no exaggeration we have always been impressed by kinds of art from child to adult. Unconciously we do not like to describe the art straightly but looking for some topic and issues relatived with the art such as a range from some photographs which had a doubt that was considered to be sensored to some entertament moment captured vividly. To some extent I become more and more concious to go into the world of art without any predjudice and acceptable to know some interesting artists. Art should be shared whatever the epoch the artists experienced.

During the courses of learning Sally Mann and making presentation I realiaed that the art is a kind of emotional needs. Physical contact with others is essential to meet our social and emotional needs. The very survival of the individual and the group depends on its members being properly socialized. We should bring home to people that the self-assertion we can judge from our own opinin.

I really appreciated that Jessica left me an opportunity to make a group with John and Uchy who are really helpful and responsible for every part of the presentation. We had met a series of problem which we couldn;t find our book for the artist before we decided another one who named William Klein. Printing the key contents and organizing the structure was one of the most difficult things I have never poured into my passion. For noe thing, I really love the work taht finding the clue which the artist has been lookiong forward to the realistic. Second I am sure the artist and the art itself can bring me abundant materials which I can put them in my design.

Art, indeed, will be aplicable to our life without attention.

The essence of movie

the purpose of art is to upset. In fact, as people grow or aging, the crevice between the intrinsic world of the mind and the extrinsic world shrinks in magnitude of making film.

art is human activities, which change in content and form from time to time and from culture to culture. Hence, the function it is in no case understood homogeneously, at least viewed from the spatiotemporal perspective. So I agree with the idea that movies are both art-form and entertainment.

One of the most my favourite movies which has been leaving me more space to appreciate is The Lord of the Ring. The Lord of the Ring was a series of movies since it had been made. I fond of it is more because the fantasy scene and script than because it was awarded 11 items for Oscared award.The movie was well-organized and basically lived up to the original fiction. The movie described about the struggle between powers of good and evil.

Whatever the commercial mvie or the art movie, both of which contein the value and the preoccupation. Every time when I whatch a new movie I could focus on something hidden in the movie rather than the outline can be remembered. The standard of my view to judge a movie whether good or not depend on the discription for the form and function in movies. To gain any kind of happiness,especially the feeling from movie, we should keep mind open and make sense what our feeling will be going well or not.

Mann and censorship

1 At first time I think the pictures of completely naked is incredible cuase no one photographer like Mann dared do that without fear from the public. Whatever the negative comments, the defination of sensual and celebratory are one of the charactor we should have had. Mann made a warn to make the people sense of the happiness and freedom in the childhood.Without any decorated elements,the black and white picture show us clearly about the essence of our mind. We should relax during the childhood rather than make everything under pressure. There ie no necessary to avoid the happen for sensual and innocent and so on. Actually we have these mood and feelins in mind just cannot express straightly. So Mann break throgh the taboos.

2 I think art is a revelation of social temper,which reveals the general state of mind of the majority. Artists improve people's sensitivity to beauty and help enlarge men's capacity for feelings,thought,and imaginations.I think Mann just really have been pursuiting the pure art from her life. What she has done was just for fun.

3 The pictures from her should not be censored as the basic for pursuiting art. We can think about deeply why Mann prefer to using the old fashioned camera instead of the digital camera in morden society. It is the truth that we are becoming more and more hypocricy for decorating our shape outside. We should preserve and carry forward the trodtional arts just like the black and white photoes. Artist bring pleasure and spiritual food to us.Although the troditional arts may not creat commercial benefits, they can enrich our spiritual life and civilize our society. They have rights to keep their style in the world. They have rights to show some different idea digesting from their special view.

summary in music part

About our presentation----from the music part

I am really appreciate to talk about my presentation. It was complished by Mia, Natalia and I and was full of our perspiration. One of the most meaningful things is the idea what we decided. It was composed of three different elements which came from our own idea, making our points possible to be "the prayer dream freedom". I really like this main idea as soon as I made a link by using the three words. It can be described as a story happening among our life.

We had the difficulties in explaining the lyrics because our imitation was pappered with something of religion which so far we have not been making sense. With the undeveloped minds, only the structure and the rythm for the end of words can we take control. As for the contents, what we've learned was the semiconcious state in the original song; moreover, we didn't have adequate ability to build a perfect and ideal idea for the contents.

Luckily, we made a teamwork for building the lyrics and making the end of words more beautifully. When we finished the lyrics, the smile was apparently in our face. In my view, the rythm of the word is the easiest thing in our group. We talked about them using our imagination. Consequently, we made the lyrics sounds more activity and beautifully.

I had had full confidence with my patners before we took the presentation. Indeed we organized it well and we did our part with responsability. Mia was charge for the part one which was the comments for Madonna. Subsequently,I played the video for everyone and explained the imitation from the original song. Natalia hold the comments for MLK in part three. Actually we learned something new from others groups,especially the group from James who made some question in their presentation and gavemore space for everyone to consider. We imitated their style for our own. I really appreciated them.

Thoughts can be shared, but our problems seemed to be more difficulit for everyone. I knew the reason after our presentation. For the lack of specific explaination, we couldn't make our main idea clearly. We should do some changes for the contents.


All in all, we have gained more benefits from the music unit. Generally promote everyone's enjoyment and understanding of music and presentation by means of the collection and by such other means as they consider appopriate.


About the next unit ----Art

Last week we learned the next part in seminar.It related the artist to the art itself. One of a question I really want to ask is "how does the people understanding the art ".It is imperative that our national rich and diiverse heritage in the arts and culture be preserved, enhanced, and publicly supported if we are to see the continuation of a trodition that has inspired people living and working here. It can become a sensative question as I think.
