The Hunger Games Movie my impression

The Hunger Games

      I went to see the movie of The Hunger games on April 11.  The movie was almost two and half hours.  The first scene was the life of Katniss in District 12.  It was expressed that people of District 12 are very poor and hungry. I felt sad, but I admired her because she lives bravely and strongly.  Next, I will focus on the scene of movement and preparation of the fighting.  There are a lot of feelings.  For example,  Katniss feels a fear of fighting or a new place the “Capitol” and has complex feeling about Peeta.  It is very interesting for me because I can think and imagine about feeling of characters.  Then, I was deeply impressed on the one scene.  It’s a scene just before the game starts.  I could see Katniss shudder.  I was attracted by this acting, so I felt she is an very good actress.  After that, the fighting scene began.  I felt it is very speedy scene.  Moreover, that scene didn’t have any noise.  It is deeply mean for me.  I can image” Is it for less cruel?” or  “tell some message to people?”  I don’t know anything, so it’s also interesting.  After this scene, I was excited during the fighting scenes and I kept hoping Katniss would win.  In conclusion, I was happy because Katniss and Peeta won.  I want to read a contiuation of book and see a contiuation of movie.  It is very interesting and exciting movie.

spring break

Spring Break

    On March 24, I went to Seattle by train with my seven friends.  It took about six hours.  It was so long, but it is a very comfortable trip for me because I could enjoy to see the surrounding view and to eat a lot of foods.  I stayed in Seattle four nights and three days.  The first day, we spent the time for traveling, so I just stayed in the hotel.  That hotel was so cheap.  However, I was shocked because it was terrible like a prison.  It was funny.  The second day, I went to the Seattle downtown.  I saw a lot of shops and the first Starbucks.  I bought many Mariners goods.  The third day, I went to   Spaceneedle that is a very high tower.  I have a fear of heights, but I could enjoy it.  After that, I ate some sushi.  In Japan, I just felt delicious.  This time, i was impressed it is too delicious.  The fourth day, I went to the Safeco Field.  I couldn’t see the baseball game, but I could enter to see the field.  After that, I went back to Salem.  These four days were very good experience for me.

Pow Wow

10^TH Annual Social Pow Wow

     March,10,2012, I went to the festival of Social Pow Wow at afternoon.

Then I could feel and think a lot of things using sence.  First, I felt smell.

  When I went into the gymnasium,  I smelt a smell that I have never smelt.  I saw the sourse of smell.  It`s like Japanese SENKOU.  Moreover, I focused on how to use it.  People gathered the smoke and poured it for themselves body.  I don`t know what did it mean, but I have seen like it in Japan.  In Japan, it is good for health.  We can often see in the temple.  I guess it is similar point between Japanese culture and Native American culture.  Second, I saw the unique dance and clothes hearing a strong, loud drum.  I could catch the image which they wanted to tell us.  It`s kind of bird.  I guess it`s an eagle.  However, I felt why its symbol is eagle, so I will try to resarch about it. I noticed that it`s also similar Japanese things.  In my hometown,  there is transmission entertainment (dance) like it.  It also uses bird (but maybe it`s chickin) clothes and drum. It`s very interesting.   Third, I felt a taste.  I ate a smoke salmon. It`s very tender and delicious.

In conclusion, I could know that there are some similar cultures between

Japanese culture and Native American culture.  And Pow Wow is important culture and tradition for people of a region in Salam, because a lot of people (from kids to old persons) participated it. I felt it is a good event.
