Cultual difference ~A Christmas Carol~


   Thank you for reading my blog this week. I finished reading some books. So, from this week I’d like to write about A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. 
   
   Before that, I try to think about the meaning of a Christmas carol. Do you guys know it? A Christmas carol is a song or hymn that has lyrics of the theme of Christmas. It is sung on Christmas or during the holiday season. Of course, A Christmas Carol is about the story related to Christmas. I searched the custom in Christmas that is popular in Europe or other area, and I found that American people usually watch the movie related to Christmas in Christmas holiday. Of course, it depends on family, but I think Japanese people don’t do this so much. It might be a difference. However, we can hear the Christmas song everywhere in Christmas season in Japan, right? So, this might be the same thing.

   See you in my next post.

    Hello.
    We learned about this story in the class last year!
    In the story, Christmas was just like a event to enjoy a time with family, not so related to Christianity, too.

    Yeah, Ai, I think so, too.
    In winter in Japan, we often hear this song among everywhere!
    It makes us feel calm and very nostalgic about the old days...

Letter to Fred ~A Christmas Carol~

     Thank you for reading my blog this week. Today, I’d like to write a letter to a character. I think I try to write a letter to Scrooge’s nephew. Before I start writing a letter, I’m going to introduce you to nephew. On the Christmas Eve, he visited to uncle’s house (Scrooge’s house) and invited to Scrooge to his house and have a dinner together, but Scrooge refused it. Because Scrooge thought Christmas is humbug, what’s Christmas? The nephew just wanted to enjoy Christmas with him, so he was disappointed. At last, he left the room without an angry word. Dear Fred How are you doing? I heard you were refused to come and have dinner together by Scrooge, your uncle. I know you just want to enjoy the Christmas party with your family. Your uncle is difficult person little bit, right? However, I’m sure he will change his mind and you will be able to enjoy your happy Christmas day!! So, you don’t have to worry about that. Have a good Christmas with your family. Tak...

I, ROBOT

Thank you for reading my blog this week. I finished reading A Christmas Carol, so I started reading another book, I, Robot . At first, I have watched this story of movie, maybe. So, when I found this book in the library, I want to read this in English. Human being is a weak creature, because we need air, water and food. On the other hand, robot doesn’t need anything except electricity. Human being can’t work if the temperature is too hot or too cold. However, robot is made of metal. So, they never sleep and can work anywhere in any temperature. They are sometimes stronger than human beings. Recently, AI is outstanding. They are very useful and make our life easier to live by some way. However, is it really need? Will it be a menace to the exist of us? See you in my next post.

My favorite character ~Notting Hill~

Thank you for reading my blog this week. Today, I’d like to write about my favorite character in Notting Hill . I can’t decide which character is the best, Anna and William. However, I have favorite word by Anna. When Anna said that she loves him, but William refused it, because he knew he didn’t suit her. Then, Anna said “It’s not real, you know… being famous. I’m also just a girl. Standing in front of a boy. Asking him to love her.” I really like this word. So, I like Anna. That’s the way of thinking of her. If she is very famous all over the world, she is also just a girl. She wants to love someone the same as other girl. I want to watch the movie of this story!! Have you ever watched Notting Hill ? See you in my next post.
