Aladdin, Interesting Differences

There are three different things from Disney I want you to know about Aladdin. First of all, there are the characters. For example, Aladdin in this book is a lazy boy. He does not like work and he plays all day with his friends in the market. Jasmine in this book is named Badr-a-Budur. She is free, in other words, she can go anywhere freely. I like Aladdin's character, he is a pure and brave. He always believes in himself and isn't afraid of anything! Jasmine is also so beautiful and tough. She always longs for going out of her castle. She has her own opinions. I think this book does not have much fantasy and isn't for children, but this little difference may be interesting for some people. The second difference is their appearance. Aladdin looks old and untidy in this book. Disney's Aladdin is that although he is poor, he is so cute. Especially, I was shocked at Jinnee because he is NOT cute. He is just a monster in this book. If children saw this Jinnee, they may dislike him, I think. If you have a chance to see Aladdin, Jasmine and Jinnee, please be careful!!! Finally, there is the plot. You know, Aladdin doesn't have his mother and his house, but somehow, he has both in this book. In addition, he doesn't have one important thing- a monkey! This monkey is the best friend of Aladdin. Yet again, Jinnee is NOT funny. Although these differences may not be interesting to some people, I think the book itself is NOT interesting.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has many scenes which are very exciting. First, Tom and his friend Huck Finn see an incident in the graveyard where night, Tom and Huck go to try and see ghosts. I thought they are brave boys. There they witnessed Injun Joe killing the doctor, but, he was not arrested then, and evaded his crime. Instead of Injun Joe, Muff Potter was arrested. This scene made me feel uneasy. The second exciting scene was, Tom and Huck witnessed Injun Joe burying some treasure. They go hunting for it and see Injun Joe and his partner finding a buried box. Tom and Huck wriggle with delight, but Injun Joe noticed immediately that someone found his hiding place. This scene makes me be disappointed. Because I want Tom to find a buried box quickly. The other exciting scene was, Tom found the treasure that Injun Joe hid. Huck sees Injun Joe making off with a box of treasure, and Tom sees Injun Joe using a cave as a hide out and he eventually starves to death. Then, Tom and Huck found the box of gold again. This scene made me very happy! Though Tom's and Huck's adventures are dangerous, they were successful in finding the treasure. I think that The Adventure of Tom Sawyer must be exciting to American children.

Pocahontas

This book is a very interesting story for people who like adventures and love stories. I was very excited when I finished reading it, because it is different from the Disney movie. The first reason that this is a really interesting story is because Pocahontas and John Smith loved each other even though their countries were mutual enemies. John went back to England and left Pocahontas in Virginia. She married another Englishman but not John Smith. The second reason is that characters are very good. Pocahontas gradually became strong even though she had a fear of Englishman. John Smith had a strong love for Pocahontas and loved her purely. Englishmen and people are Virginia scrambled for weapons and foods and they had desires just lke are human being. Finally, there were many good scenes in this book. For example, the pure love between two young people and learning about England and Virginia. This is a true story based on real life. I think that readers are able to enjoy it more than the Disney film.

Pocahontas

Pocahontas is a good and interesting book. First, I could easily understand it. This book's author wrote the character's positions and feelings very well, both American and English. Because of that I could imagine the situation and know when they weren't friendly and why they weren't friendly. Second, I like the characters, especially Pocahontas. She was very kind and friendly and was friendly when Americans and English weren't friendly with each other. I know why she became a famous woman, because she was the first woman who married a English man and went to England. Finally, the story is fun. This story is written about an American and English battle and the story of Pocahontas's love. I like Pocahontas's love story. She is cute with her single-mind for John Smith. At first, I thought she should marry him and would want to marry him, but my prediction proved wrong. Because I couldn't predict the end, it was fun story.

My Favorite Character In The COUNT of MONTE CRISTO

Dantes is an interesting man. First, he was respected by every one, because he had good skill in crewing and he had good personality. For example, he was young, but he was recommended to be the next captain when the ship's captain died. In addition he had a fiance. He had spent a perfect life so far. The second reason, he is interesting man is the he never gave up! It was difficult to continue having hope, but he had hope for fourteen years. When he was taken to prison, he escaped fourteen years later. I was surprised. If I encounter his situation, I will give up. He got a lot of knowledge when he was in the prison. And he made a good friend, but the friend died. He could escape from the person, by pretend into be his dead friend. I think he was very smart, and very lucky person. Lastly, he succeeded in his revenge. After he escaped the person, he got his revenge. He killed Telnan, because Telnan framed him in had robed his fiance, after he killed Telnan, he regained his fiance. I think he was cool. he revenged the people that framed him. I respect him very much and I want to be like him. Please read the book and you probably became like him too.

Checkered Life of Edmond Dantes

If you read The COUNT of MONTE CRISTO, you can know the checkered life of Edmond Dantes and how interesting it is. First, he came to the city of Marseilles as a seaman and was elected to become the next captain when the captain of the ship died because he was very clever young seaman. He wanted to marry his fiance and went to his father's house because he wanted to tell him about his marriage. He met his father and he hugged him is and his life was good at that time. Second, he was thrown into prison by the soldiers and he lost hope and cried. He was innocent but the soldiers took him by mistake. The soldiers thought that he was one of the Napoleon's spies. His life became bad and poor. In prison he met an old man and the man told him about the island of Monte Cristo. The island had a lot of money buried in it and the man had a map of the treasure in the island. He wanted to escape the prison so he was digging a hole and that was how he was connected to be the old man and other part of the prison. They talked a lot. The old man had a illness and he died and the man's body was thrown out by the soldiers but actually it wasn't the old man's body, it was Edmond Dantes because he had made a promise to the old man that he was escape from the prison. He was able to escape from the prison and he was helped by the men of the ship, "The Young Amelia." They were very kind and they went to the island but Edmond Dantes didn't say anything about the treasure. He found a lot of treasure and he gave them some as a token of his gratitude. Finally, he became a very rich man. This book is very popular and I thought it was very interesting. I want to watch the movie of this story someday.

For Children

The book "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland' is a good book for children. First, this book helps children to extend their imaginations, because this book is far from reality. For example Alice becomes very big or very small. Sometimes, she becomes as big as a house, and the other time she becomes as small as a key. Other examples are Alice meets some strange characters and she uses hedgehogs and flamingoes to play croquet. Definitely if children read this book, I think they can extend their imaginations. Next, I think the book will be enjoyable for children because there are a lot of interesting scenes. My favorite scene is that her tears make a lake and in the lake she drown. Children will also enjoy curious Alice. Even if she is in a strange place or she meets a strange person, she is curious all the time. It may be interesting not to have to worry about the future. Finally, in the book the author teaches a healthy respect for taking medicine to children. At the time the book was published, taking medicine was in fashion. This is my opinion, but I think the fashion is related to becoming too big or small if she eats cake. Some people say this is not related, but I think this author wants to teach a lesson. This is why this book is good for children.

Aladdin

The book Aladdin and the Disney movie Aladdin have different stories. First in the book, the main character is Aladdin. He is a lazy boy because he doesn't like work and he plays all day with his friends in the market. He and his mother are very poor, and live in a small house. They are often hungry, but Aladdin never works, and never helps his mother. Second, the general plot is that one day a man named Abanazar arrives in the city and claims to be Aladdin's uncle. He tells Aladdin and his mother "that he is a rich man." He gives them gold, buys Aladdin a beautiful new coat, buys them a very good dinner and wants to help them. Aladdin is very happy and it was a wonderful day for him. But actualy Abanazar is not Aladdin's uncle. He is a magician from Morocco and wants to find an enchanted lamp. He knows the lamp is in a magician garden under the ground, near a city in Arabia. Only a poor boy from the city can get into the garden and find the lamp, and that boy's name is Aladdin. One day, Aladdin saw Princess Badr-al-Budur. She was beautiful, with big darkeyes, the most beautiful woman in Arabia! He falls in loves with her! Third, this story is a little boring because it change so quickly. I think that Disney's Aladdin is much more interesting than this story. Disney's Aladdin has dreams and fantasies, but this book is a realistic story, so I like Disney's story better. In the last scene, Aladdin and Badr-al-Budur killed Abanazar by a sword. I don't recommend this story to you.

"ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND"-a Good Book?

To read "ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND" as a book was not very interesting for me. First, the story was disjointed. There were a lot of separate parts that continued until the end. The plot is very simple in that is Alice falls asleep, has lots of adventures, wakes up, in realizes that these adventures actualy occurred in her dream. The scenes of this adventures are too long. Second, Alice's troubles and peaks and valleys of her feelings were unexpectedly persistent and that made me irritated, so I got tired of reading it. However, I think it is interesting to watch "ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND as an animation or a movie, because the story is right long and the images are very beautiful. Also it has a lot of music and the story has a pretty good tempo. Therefore, I recommend that you see this story as an animation or a movie and not read it as a book.

Aladdin Is Funny!

There are three themes in the story Alladin. The first one, it is love because Aladdin falls in love with Princess Badr-al-Budur. She was the most beautiful woman in Arabia and has big dark eyes and he thought of various ways to try to get her to love him. For example, he asked his mother to give Badr-al-budur's father the gold plate with a lot of jewels, but his Vizier also want to marry her. He has more jewels than Aladdin, so her father decided that she would marry the Vizier. Aladdin also thought how to marry her, and he asked the Jinnee to bring her and he married her. But Abanazar who had pretended to be Aladdin's uncle tempted to take her away from Aladdin. Aladdin killed Abanazer to defend her in the end. I like this scene because Aladdin and Badr-al-Budur seem like the happiest couple in Arabia. The second theme is adventure. For example, Aladdin went down stairs under the ground to bring the lamp for Abanazar and Aladdin looked afraid. Abanazar deceived Badr-al-Budur into the belief that she can exchange an old lamp for a new lamp. This scene irritated me. Because she sold it despite Alladin cherished it. I thought "Don't sell it!" The other theme is fantasy. Jinnee grants his master everything. His existence is especially fantastic. Abanazar is a magician so the stone moves easily, when Aladdin put his hand on the ring and says his name. These are unbelievable! When I was reading this story, I was excited to think about what happens next. It is funny story and original not Disney so I recommend to you.

Italian Kitchen

If you want to eat great Italian food, you must go to the Italian Kitchen! I went to this restaurant March 6th with my friend, Nami. There are three characteristics of this restaurant I liked. First, the food and drinks were very delicious. I ordered minestrone, chicken fettuccine and ice tea. I like the minestrone very much because it contained beans, carrots, pork and onions. The pasta was very delicious too, flat and looked like Japanese food, Kishimen. The sauce was creamy and contained a lot of black pepper. I wanted to eat all of it but I couldn't because it was such a big portion. I thought I wanted to take out the pasta. I drank the ice tea and it was delicious, but big also. Second, the restaurant's atmosphere was very nice because the light was a little low and had a bar. I was comfortable. I looked at the pretty pictures on the wall. We went to this restaurant before noon so we could select any seat we wanted to sit down. Finally, I was happy because this restaurant's waiter was very kind. He repeated himself when we couldn't understand what he said. He always smiled so I was relieved. He sometimes came to our table and said "How is the food?" when we were eating. I was happy because everything was good. I recommend Italian Kitchen very much!

PALM COURT

There are three reasons that Palm Court is a good restaurant. First, the food is very delicious! I ordered a cheeseburger with french fries. The burger had tomatoes, onions, cheese, lettuces and ketchup on it and it was very big. There were too many french fries for me. They were thin and crispy. Its was 10 dollars which was reasonable for me. Second, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very restful, because they played classical music. The music was quiet and made me relax. The restaurant was elegant, gorgeous, clean and beautiful. It looked like a castle. Finally, our server was kind, friendly and funny. His service was good, and he often asked us whether our food was OK and we needed anything. He also answered our questions politely with his good smile. We took a picture with him. I had very good time.

WONDERFUL Time

The Palm Court is a restaurant where you can have a nice time. There are a few reasons that will absolutely convince you. First, the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing, because of restful white color of walls. Also music was classical, so it matches the atmospfere that was being made by theme. It was so refreshing and quiet. When you are ushered to your table, you will be surprised, because of the many forks, knives, spoons and glasses of the table setting. Secondly, the food is so delicious and there is so much of it! I ordered a chicken and cheese sandwich. It tasted yummy! I was surprised that it was so big and amount of salad was so much. But the cost was 10 dollars, so it was cheaper than I expected. Also, I was so surprised that the hamburger that my friend ordered was so big. The amount of french fries was so much that were too much for her to eat all of them. If you go there, I recommend the sandwich or the hamburger. You will be surprised at the quantity. Finally, the servers were so kind and plesant, because they were attentive. When I wanted to order, they came quickly, before I said "excuse me." When my friend's water was low, they noticed right away and filled it up. Also, their smiles were so nice and cool, and it makes you want to go there again. I highly recommend the Palm Court restaurant to you!!

The Great European Place In Down Town

"EUROPEAN PIZZERIA" can give a great experience to you. This restaurant has great food, decor and service. First, their food is very good. They have home-made foccaccia. I had a lunch course there. The course has soup or salad, pasta and a foccaccia. At the beginning of the course, foccaccia bread was brought to the table. I was very hungry and it was very good, so I carelessly ate too much. But there was so much pasta that I couldn't eat all of it. I had ordered a pizza, too. I would share it with Yuka, but she was full, too. Eventually, we couldn't eat all of them. However, we forget to give doggybags, so I have regreted that. Second, the atmousphere is very nice. That is European, classical, and stylish. The lighting is a little dark, so you can be relax there. Finally, their service is very good. The server was very polite and kind, so we could choose order without hurry. Also, her recommendation was very pretty! I thought I'd like to go there again. If you go there, it may become your favorite restaurant.

OLIVE GARDEN

I enjoyed visiting OLIVE GARDEN. First, the food was very delicious! I ate seafood pasta, salad, bread and chocolate cake. Everything was good. My favorite food was pasta and bread. The Pasta had white creamy sauce and shrimp. I liked both so It was double very good! The bread was hot from the oven! I didn't know what on the top of it but I liked it. Because I was so hungry I ate it and the salad and felt full before the seafood pasta came. It was very delicious, but I was so full that I took out the chocolate cake and I ate it at home. It was good. Second, the service was good. The waiter was very kind and friendly. When we asked questions and I couldn't speak English well, she tried to understand and replied with a smile. And she often attended to us and spoke to us. Finally, I liked the restaurant's atmosphere. It was very clean and put me in a nice mood. There were many small light bulb that gave off low light. The chairs were soft and comfortable so I could relax. I want to go to there again!!

my mother

My mother and I are not very much alike. First,my mother cooks very well. But I don't cook well. She often bakes cakes or cookies. There are very delicious and healthy. She also cooks pizza that is healthy,and better than pizza that is sell at a pizza shop. Second, she is serious. When she was a high school student, she was a class representative. In a festival of her school, every her classmates follow her, because she was a leader of their program. She talked me boastfully about this story. Third, she is so kind and smart. I sometimes respect her. She likes Eco activities. She is always saying"Don't leave the water too much!"and"Bring your Eco bags!" Also, she likes fund-raising. So,she belongs to UNICEF. When I heard about this,I thought she is great. But,really something I can't understand. And that is that she raises a huge sum of money for UNICEF. Fund raising is a great activity,but I can't understand how she did. One day,I heard her said the reason why she raise such a large sum of money. She replied "I prefer spending money for hungry children or children who are in trouble to spending money for useless things." I was surprised to hear her say that. And,I thought at that time that her activity is very important lesson for me. She has taught me many thing about how to live. Anyhow, I love my mother!

I Love AZTECA!

My visit to the AZTECA Mexican restaurant satisfied me in many ways. The building is made of bricks and is cute. In the restaurant, there are many colors and many paintings of people and landscapes. The decor was very delightful and made me happy. I ordered "The Famous Macho Burrito". It is a very famous Mexican food. It contains Mexican rice, chicken, cheddar cheese, and so on. It was very big, but cost only about $8. I was satisfied. However, it was so big that I wasn't able to eat it all. I took out about a half portion in a doggy bag. Next, the service was very good. Most waiters were smiling and attentive. When we were eating, a waiter asked us "is it good?" When we could not eat any more, a waiter asked us, "do you need a doggy bag?" I felt relieved because they were so kind. Also the restaurant had quick music, probably Mexican, and it cheered me up. The atmosphere was comfortable because it was not too elegant and not too noisy. If this atmosphere was too elegant, I would have felt uncozy because I had to take good care of the atmosphere. On the other hand, if this atmosphere was too noisy, I would have felt uncozy too because I could not settle down. This is why the restaurant was comfortable for me. Finally, I thought that this restaurant looked like a Japanese family restaurant because there was a lot of food, the cost was reasonable, the waiters were friendly, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I want to go again and I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Italian Kitchen

Italian Kitchen in downtown Spokane is the perfect restaurant for people who like Italian food. First, their service is very good. For example, the staff is kind, funny and friendly. They repeated again and again kindly when I didn't understand their questions. I could relax and order without mistakes. Second, the food is very good. I ordered tomato pasta by the waiter's recommendation. Its topping had many rich ingredients such as tomatoes, cheese, shrimps, vegetables and so on. Finally, it is a place with calm atomosphere, but there is no music. Many violins hang on the wall, they make us comfortable. The restroom is very clean and beautiful like a castle, I like there very much. I have never been to restaurant in downtown except for Italian Kitchen, but I strongly recommend it to everyone. You should go there. I want to go there again and order other meals.

My Twin Sister

I have a twin sister! Her name is Yuki. She was the first born, by c-section. Yuki and I are very similar, because we are identical twins, but we each have our different character. Her character differs from my character very much. For example, she is selfish like younger sister and she often depends on me. Sometimes I feel hate, but I like her. She is a Mukogawa university student, too. She is an elementary education major and is a sophomore. On campus, we are mistaken for each other by our friends many times. She likes beef, but I don't like beef. I like pasta, but She doesn't like pasta. We really don't resemble each other character, but We have some at the same feelings and ideas. We can tacitly understand each other!
