Essay01: High School Musical

Troy, a boy who belongs to high school basketball team is the captain of his team Wild Cats. And Gabriella, very genius and shy girl, met Troy at a party and sang together. At that time they found the new themselves, and aroused the people in the party. They were so excited also. After the party they left each other. They had just exchange the phone number.
The vacation passed, Gabriella moved to the town where Troy and his family live in. Troy and Gabriella met again in the classroom, East High School’s. They wanted to sing together again, but they worried about the reactions from others. All of the high school students are excited to him, especially some cheer girls. On the other hand Gabriella doesn’t want to be distinguished in front of a lot of people.
Then, the rivals appeared. Sharpay and Ryan, they are twins and they play performance very well. But they are very proud, especially Sharpay is so. The twins don’t like that Troy and Gabriella will be the star on the stage. So they bothered Troy and Gabriella. Troy’s team members, especially Chad (Troy’s closest friend) don’t like that Troy sings on the stage. He thought Troy should stand on the court, not stage. Gabriella’s science club members also wanted her to come to the science contest rather than play on the musical. Troy and Gabriella had some difficulty, but they determined to sing together on the stage. There was a close bond between them.
The concept of this movie was, “Do not be afraid of showing new yourself to other people.” I think. This movie would encourage shy, retiring people, like me. I will be able to try new something afterwards, even it is unlike me to do. Anyway, I want to watch HSM2, and HSM the movie. They must be fantastic, too!

BR04: The Little Mermaid


"But how will I talk to my prince?" She asked.
"That's not my problem." (page 37)


This is a story of a beautiful, pure mermaid. The little mermaid was also the youngest sister of 6 sisters. She just wanted to get close to the prince but it was never easy. I think this story makes any girls sad.

The king of the sea, the father of the sisters said to them, "Do not go up to the surface until you become fifteen." After that, the oldest mermaid had become fifteen and she went up to the surface and came back. She brought some story about the out of the sea to other sisters. Everybody was so excited to hear her story. They become fifteen one after another. The little mermaid was waiting her turn for a long time.
One day, the day of the little mermaid's fifteens birthday, she went up to the surface. Then she saw a gorgeous bright ship, and she found a beautiful prince on the deck. But the ship was overturned by bad storm. The little mermaid found him, clinging to a wood. She took him to the shore. Then a princess appeared and they walked away together. The prince didn't know that a mermaid saved him actually.
She wanted human legs, to get closer to him. She asked sea witch, but the ugly witch said to give her the little mermaid's voice, instead. And the witch also told, "If you had this potion, you can never be back to your father's castle." But the little mermaid did.
The little mermaid could see the prince finally, but he told her to get married to the princess who the little mermaid saw. She could not say anything because she didn't have voice. She did just nodding silently. He was everything that she wanted but he wanted someone else. The little mermaid disappeared into the sea with tears.
This is a story of the most beautiful, innocent girl in whole world. I think.
