The book Princess Diaries (number1) Review

Book review about the Princess Diaries..

   Have you ever wished to be a handsome prince, or a beautiful princess? I think all of us at least once have thought about this when we were young. In this book, is about a young normal lady, one day finds out that she was a princess. If you want to know about how a normal girl became a princess, I strongly recommend you to read this book!!

   This story begins with a normal girl, going to high school in Sanfransisco. Mia Thermopolis is her name. Mia has no parents but her mother Helen Thermopolis. Mia's best friend is Lily Moscovitz, and her brother Michael Moscovitz. Anyway, as all normal girls do, Mia has a crush on a boy called Josh Briant. However, because Mia is a normal(or maybe less than normal) student, Josh doesn't care about her. This was Mia's school life. One day, Mia's grandmother came to visit her. Mia never knew this would change her life for the rest of her life. This fine day, her grandmother comes and says that she is a QUEEN of a small country in Europe called Genovia. This means, Mia is a PRINCESS of Genovia! At first, Mia couldn't believe this. However, she learns princess lessons(like how to act like a noble). All the looks and clothings, and all the other stuff(just say Mia) has changed 100%!! At the first few days, her friends doesn't notice that Mia is a princess. However, because someone told the media that Mia is a princess, Mia becomes popular, and no one treats Mia as the way they used to. The most huge difference is Josh asked Mia to go to the Beach Party. The problem here is Mia made a promise with Michael first, and blew it because of Josh. Mia thougth whe would have a good time with Josh, but it was only her hope. After the beach party, Mia notices that Josh only noticed her just because she is a princess. Mia feels sorry for Michael, and wants to refuse her throne from her grandmother. She tries to escape. Then she gets a present from her father who is dead. The present he gave is a DIARY. Mia changes her mind at last, and makes a wonderful speech which is truely compared to her which wasn't good at debate.
 
   This movie is filmed my Garry Marshal, and I really enjoyed watching this movie. Sometimes, it was like a comedy, and other times it was like a real thing which can happen. What I mean by this is that I thought this movie, can happen in real life. Also, this movie contains a lesson which even though your role is a very beneficial role, you still have responsibility for that. There is no role which has no responsibilities. I also thought this movie is a great movie because it contains a lesson while, it contains some comedies which is a little part of the lesson here which is RESPONSIBLE.

   Mia is now going to high school, and she knows that she is a princess. What do you think is Mia's solution for she becoming a princess? Also, what do you think will happen to Mia from now? I suggest you to think about this. It'll also be fun imagining about your future. Who knows one day you'll be a princess like Mia?...

Ode to my best Friend

Ode to my best friend

Every time I feel happy
or sometimes I feel angry
you, my friend is always there

When I get a prize
or else I get admired
you, my friend was happy for me

When I get scolded
or else I get punished
you, my friend felt sorry for me

When sometimes we fight
and I get mad
you, my friend, said sorry first

kind, smart, and always my side
I'm so glad that you're my friend
you're my best friend now, and still.

The padlocked chest-Creative Writing

I sneaked into the old abandoned house at the end of the street. I was surprised to find a small, padlocked treasure chest on a dresser in an upstairs bedroom. There was a note that said, "Do not open. EVER!" I also noticed a small key hanging on the wall. I tried the key in the padlock. It was a perfect fit. After I opened the box, I ventured into the unknown...When I opened my eyes, I wasn't able to see anything. Suddenly, one dim light started to come. I was so scared, and I was perturbed. I tried to run away from the approaching light, but I couldn't control my body as I tried to move. The light was getting closer to me. I was so terrified, that I fainted. When I woke up, I was sleeping at a comfortable cave. I wondered where this place was. I looked around and I saw a cat staring at me. The cat had white fur, however, it was dirty. The cat had one very clear, green eye. The other eye was gray. But I realized that, it wad blind. The cat started talking to me. It said
"Why did you open the box, young boy?"
I was frightened because its voice was very calm, and husky. Anyway, I replied
"I was just curious about it. Is there any problem?.."
The cat smiled and said
" Of course there is. You've made a big mistake."
I asked
" What do you mean..The big mistake?"
It said
" Once you come to this cave, you'll not be able to get out."
I was anxious, and the cat smiled at me. And then it whisperred
" Well, there is one way you can get out..."
I was surprised! And asked
" Pardon? You just told me that I couldn't go dout of this place!"
"You have only one way to get our. It'll be hard. Will you do it?"
"I'll do it. I'll do my best!!"
"There are two steps. First, you have to bring me out from here. Then, you have to raise me until the day you die!"
"Okay, is that all?"
" Yes, it is. From now on, I'll tell you the way."
I thought why this is a hard thing to do. I just followed the cat, and eventually I could come out of this box. However, the cat wasn't there. I looked around this old abandoned house, and went back to my house. From that day, the cat always apperaed in my dream for some reason. Finally, the cat said
"You brought me out of the cave. I'm very thankful of you. I'm not there where you're living. I;m in your mind. I thought you're not pure, but now I understand you with a pure heart. Someone, who has a pure heart only can take me our. I was wating for a pure and warm heart. Thank you. I cannot forget you forever. Don't be confused of anything. The answer will always be inside your heart. Unless, you lose your pure heart. Always keep this in mind. Bye!"
I woke up and I asked myself, 'What does a pure heart mean?' Then I realized that having a pure heart means doing favors, don't think about doing bad things, and being curious to everything in a good way. After this dream, I tried to keep my pure heart. This experience of opening the padlocked chest, was the best experience ever, in my life.^^

Narrative Essay

Narrative Essay

Since I was able to speak and walk and communicate with others, I had lots of friends. I started to know lots of friends by my mother. Some of these friends are still my best friends which I really care about, and really think about. Even though I had a lot of friends, I usually enjoy playing with just a few friends, or my family. However, now I enjoy spending time with my friends rather than spending more time with my family.
   This story happened last year. After the test has ended, I planned to play with my friends. Since they are my friends and we know about each other very well, we don't have much conflict with each other. Anyway, after we made all the promises, and I told my mother about my plan, my mother told me that my aunt was planning to come to our house today. I needed to make a quick decision. I thought I wanted to play with my friends. Because, I can play with my aunt anytime because the fact that she is my aunt doesn't change. However, when we graduate elementary school and go to different middle school, there was a less percentage of us meeting together and play. So I told my mother that I will play with my friends. My mother tried to convince me by saying we can still text message each other or call each other. And my aunt's visit was very rare. I suddenly got mad at my mother because I thought that she doesn't understand my friendship. So I said I will play with my friends today. My mother seemed upset, but she let me go and play. I was trying to forget about being worried and feeling sorry. Even though I enjoyed playing with my friends, I still cannot stop thinking about it. After I played and came home, my aunt was still there. She visited me because it was almost my birthday and to give me a present. I felt really sorry for her, and I thought I don't deserve to get a present for my aunt. I wanted to cry when I saw my aunt's upset face. Now, I thought once more about my decision, and I thought I was wrong. Friends are important, but spending time with my family is more important.

-My most memorable vacation

My most favorite and most memorable vacation until now, was my my vacation to Europe. I went to lots of different countries and I still remember the scenery of the countries I've been. This vacation is remembered for a long time because this was my first vacation to another country. I really wanted to travel to another country, and that time was my chance to visit Europe. Even though I couldn't visit all the places and countries of Europe, I was glad that I was able to visit an another country.
   My family's first destination was Germany. Germany happened to be the first country, so I remember it most clearly, even though long time has passed. I still remember the scenery of the road, and the nature which I've seen by traveling with a camping car. There were lots of houses which were small and cute. The environment was better in Germany rather than Korea. Then, it was Austria and Switzerland. All these three countries were connected, so we were able to travel by one camping car. I still feel the snow on top of the Jungfrau, and riding a sleigh at top of the Jungfrau. Also, I remember the beautiful view of the mountians and the snow and the flowers which I've saw on the way to Jungfrau. Then we moved to France and England. I mostly enjoyed France and England. I enjoyed France because we had a guide only at France. This guide explained about the old buildings. When I see the picture of these places, I can explain about these buildings. I saw the Eiffel tower. I sometimes think about the shining Eiffel tower which I saw at the night. Our final destination was England. I wanted to learn British accent at that time, so I had fun listening to what they say. At first, I was scared talking to people from other countries. However, at the time I was at England, I enjoyed talking with English. I also saw the famous Oxford Universities. I imagined myself going to one of these universities. I was really upset to come back home to Korea because I had so much fun talking with others, and enjoying their culture, meeting lots and lots of people who were very nice. I will never forget this vacation because I learned lots of things by this trip such as speakig skills, and understanding some of their cultures.
