 * //Hello Mr. Kowgier~//**

//**Yeah,I am beginning my recommendation of website now** //
==//**I strongly recommend you visit the website called NBA.Com. It always gives me abundant of information about teams news, transaction report and rumor mills. It is very interesting to know about those famous NBA stars' s daily life. The part I enjoy the most is the rumor mills part. It tells us about the guess of player trades. I always remain imagining when I see a strong player is about to switch teams. I always verify the consequence of that player trade like an ESPN expert. It is a real fantastic experience! Try that, you will enjoy being an experienced expert! Also that website provide me plenty of videos about past stimulating games. If I miss one of those games, I can go to the website and enjoy the record of that game. That helps me keep pace with with the amazing speed of the development of the NBA League. Those are two reasons why I recommend you visit that website.** //==

//**Journal #2 July 7th**//

==//**I love Marlon's reading journal and the website he recommended because he showed us the real advantage of the Twitter. I had heard that the Twitter is a fantastic website in China and witnessed its greatness today.Just as Marlon said, when I first go to that website, I saw a big selection bar said "follow your interest" I can select language by myself, which fully helped me understand all the stuff of that website. when I log in that website, I can see the recent changes of my contacts, no matter how far they were from me. I was immediately attracted by the fantastic website. Now I am considering applying for a Twitter account and enjoy chatting with people from all over the world! **//==

//**Journal#3 July 12**// === //**1. New York city changed a lot during the year of 1920s. There were three main differences between New York of that time and modern New York. The 1920s was a period of time when the great war (World War I) just ended. People claimed that it was the time when all the gods were died out of their frustration of their governments. Since then people began to realized that they needed to fight for themselves. After the war, New York's economy went into a "Golden Time". People's** average annual earnings were $1236. Also, there was a national prohibition of alcohol during that time. The government poisoned the alcohol to scare the alcoholics, which killed thousands of people.In addition, women' s position also changed. They started to be hired to work and gain the more equal rights as men did. // ===

===(1) **//The similar characteristics between me and Tom are our ambition and rebellion. I am confident about myself, and I always try to be the best. Sometimes I do not listen to others' advice //**. //**I** **k now it is the biggest shortcoming, and I am trying to fix it, However, Tom was too supercilious, which is different from me.**// ===

//**(2)** **I found a video on YouTube about rebellious love**//
===//**The video is about a song expressing the love against parents' will. It is what we called rebellious. In the novel __The Great Gatsby__, Tom was rebellious. Though this kind of rebellious has nothing to do with rebellious love. On the contrary, it was about his rebellious about his wife's will. He did not even try to hide his mistress, which made him a really a bad character.**// ===

//**(3)Kobe Bryant **//
===//Kobe Bryrant was a great basketball player as well as a hero. He never gave up and finally won the championship. **He was not afraid of failure, which is also my character. I am confident of myself, and always try to make progress **//===

===//**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">PartI I acted Macbeth in the scene. Macbeth is a warrior, but he is a little afraid of those strange witches. He is confused about what the witches said to him, I think there are three good things for me to learn from the videos I found, First, Macbeth is a man who came back from the front, so he is very delightful. But he met the witches, who gave him three predictions. He is half surprised and half fear. The facial expression of the actors are very vivid. Also, the pronunciation of the actors showed that Macbeth is very, very confused, he asked for more information, but the witches vanished. Last but not least, When Macbeth was drown in his thoughts, the actions of it is shows his tied and confused, those are three characteristics I need to learn from when I am filming Macbeth. **//===

===//**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">PartII Though we did not act completely the same as the original Macbeth, I believe that Macbeth has both the good and evil side. He used to be a very good man. He is kind to everyone. Meeting the witches is a turning point of him. He started thinking of being the king, which always drown him in thought.Macbeth was confused. Just like he said, he is having a foul and fair day. He himself is foul and fair. I am trying to show the emotion that his struggling between foul and fair really bothers him. **//===

===//**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Evil sometimes get the advantage position. But at last ,<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;"> only good will win because they use their intelligence. **//===

===<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">In our film, our protagonist Macbeth is different from the original one. we changed Macbeth into a loyal and brave man. **//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">This is the line of the end of the play. Banquo stole the crystal ball which has the strongest power in the world..This let Macbeth and Banquo defeat the evil witches. Sometimes we fight with our weapons, our bodies, but we will win when we use our brain. In my film, witches controlled the magic power that can kill anyone. But finally they lost because Macbeth and Banquo used their intelligence.Between brain and hand lies our heart, our soul. Macbeth and Banquo fight together though they are not always stay together. Their souls pull them together. To win a battle, we need to have both intelligence and brawn. we need friendship and cooperation to hold them together and exert their strength. //**===
