BR2-07: The Great Gatsby

My name is Nick Carraway. I was born in a big city in the Middle West. (p.5)

     I learned this story in the American literature. I have to present a report until 4^th November, but I was absent last time so I rent it. I watched it before in this school library, but I didn’t know how story is. Therefore, I read it. This story is a mire of mutual entanglement and a leading character, Gatsby died finally. I was angry about Tom and Daisy. Especially, I was angry about Daisy. She has been going out with Tom and Gatsby. She loved their, but if she marries, she decides rich man, that is to say, Tom. If she is here, I want to say ‘Don’t do things by halves’ to her. If she didn’t do things by halves, Gatsby didn’t die. She betrayed Gatsby and she lived with Tom happily. Gatsby thought about her until he died. If I am she, I will marry with him because he is so cool and his love for me blinded. If you’ll marry with someone, how a man do you want to marry?

Detective Conan

   I’m going to tell you about my favorite animated cartoons. Everyone knows I love anime and comic books than anything else. I’ll write about my favorite other animated cartoons someday. Well, I’ll write about ‘Detective Conan’. By the way, do you know ‘Detective Conan’? I know everyone knows it because it is loved and famous by among people. This is a famous animated cartoon, which is written by Gosho Aoyama. When I was an elementary student, it had already televised. Shinichi Kudo is a high school student, who is a detective. One day, he and his girlfriend, Ran Mori is the same high school student went to an amusement park. He saw some suspicious men there. However, unfortunate, he was found and he was knocked by another man. He was also drunk poison. When he woke up, his body was small. His childhood friend, girl friend mustn’t know his secret so his name changed ‘Kudo Shinichi’ to ‘Edogawa Conan’. If you’re more interested in this anime, please read or watch it. Incidentally, I like Heiji Hattori very much because he is cool and he’s from Osaka, Japan. Moreover, I like Jin who Conan was knocked and was drunk poison. He is also cool. However, he is a bad man. I like movies of ‘Detective Conan’. I don’t go to a theater, but I usually look forward to televise on TV. Especially, I like ‘Crossroad in the Ancient Capital’ and ‘The Private Eyes Requiem’. Thank you for your reading.

Internet shopping

   I am going to tell you about my lately hobby. I am enthusiastic about Internet shopping now. It is too convenience and useful so I use it. I bought a microphone to use English central, a hat and a cloth recently. When I buy clothes, I use ‘Yume Tembo’. There are a lot of pretty clothes in the shop, but postage engenders about 500 yen so I’m sad whenever I buy. I use ‘Amazon’. I bought a microphone in the shop. It cost about 600 yen so it was cheap. My friend advised so I thought that I use it. There are many things such as comic books, PC, clothes and the other things and I like this shop’s site. I often see it whenever I open my PC in my house. Incidentally, I want a walkman it is small and convenience to bring. I want to buy it. Internet shopping is interesting and fantastic for me. I don’t like winter and cold so I don’t want to go out. Of course, I like to go shopping. Thank you for your reading.

A wedding ceremony

      I’m going to tell you about 8^th October. I was attending at wedding ceremony of my elder sister. This day, I had to get up 8 o’clock so I was too sleepy. My family except my father and my younger brother left my house at 9 o’clock. After that, my mother and I left a waiting room in the afternoon. I met my cousins and aunt who live in Chiba, Japan there. Next, my mother, my cousin and I made up our face. After we made up, we dressed long-sleeved kimono. I wore red long-sleeved kimono. I though that a woman making up my face is too nice. I saw as other girl. I also thought that I am a little pretty than everyday. After I wore it, I met my cousins who live in grandmother’s house in Fukuoka. They saw me and said ‘You’re cute’ to me. When I heard this word, I felt happy, but I thought they were too beautiful than me. My aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers said such as ‘you’re too cute.’ or ‘you’re beautiful.’ so I was too happy. However, my father said ‘fine feathers make a fine bird’ to me so I was too sad.

   When my elder sister and he appear and walk in a chapel, I cried. Strictly speaking, I wept in sympathy when my cousin cried. I thought kissing a chapel really haves to do. Furthermore, there are some points I was too surprise. For instance, I had to sing some songs there, but I didn’t know. Next, a minister was foreign man.


        In a wedding reception, there are a lot of nice dishes. In addition, my cousin, her father and husband played some songs my elder sister likes. My cousin and her father played their flute and her husband played the piano. They played ‘story’ was written by Ai and ‘Arigato’ which was sung by Ikimonogakari. Her coworkers sang ‘Zenryokushonen’ which was written by skimaswitch. They were too nice! When she changed dress, she called my younger brother and me so I was ashamed. After that, my sister dressed her armor.

       Setting her aside, her husband was too funny because of his armor he dressed. It was designed Kato Kiyomasa as a motif. Next, she put on a cocktail dress and he put on a uniform which he always wears at his work. At nine o’clock, the wedding reception finished. I had a good time. However, I also thought that when I wore a long-sleeved kimono, I had difficultly in breathing so I was not able to have rich dishes well. My sister will be mother next year so I’m looking forward to seeing her baby. Thank you for your reading.
