Such as the value of our life ,why everyone is afraid of death (which Mr.K told in the class )and what the world will look like. I know that these problems may not have clear answers and every perhaps have their own answer.But it does not matter.I believe that the more we heard the more we got.

2. I guess my sheet belongs to Luke. story:When Luke was young. he was curious about every things, especially something his parents do not allowed him to touch.But one his parents have to due to an emergency situation.So they must left the little baby Luke at home. He found a beautiful cup,and tried to hold it. But unfortunately he pushed a cup of boiling water on his left foot.Then his parents gave him more authority in case of this kind of things happening again. However,he wanted to prove himself is not a baby any more and at the same time he fell in love with the badminton.He practiced very hard and now still insists on playing it everyday in gym.

3. When I was a schoolboy in grade 3. I also knew that do not show my judgment about other. So I had a lot of friends surrounding me. However,at a terrible afternoon, I was walking in the doorway.A boy jumped and cuddled me.But he was to heave.Consequently we fell down and my head hurt by the corner of the wall.

July 13 1. I like Gatsby.Because Gatsby always make plans firstly,and try his best to achieve his dream,which is like me.But what is different from me is that he does not care about the means used to achieve the purpose,whether the means are legal or not .If I meet the same problem.I will evaluate my own ability,then think about the worst situation.Finally I decided to do or not.

2. I think Bernard Madoff is also this type of person who is like Gatsby. Because they also use the illegal way to achieve their own unbelievable dream. Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a massive Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars.

Yes,the relationship between Baker and me becomes better and better.

After Gatsby's party. Baker pretty much gives me a "whatever" in return. She callously says that other people have to stay out of her way. This might be the reason I come to dislike her.

Baker:

I am bored to tears, except for my active sports career in golf.

I am cynical and hard, but to be honest,I cheated to win my first golf tournament.

I think I am possibly the least important of all the major characters in the book, yet I provides an important contrast to Daisy.

3.question: Why Tom is disgusted with Myrtle who is shouting "Daisy"?

Daisy is much better than Myrtle in many ways.such as family financial situation,looks,stature.however,why Tom want to spend every weaken with Myrtle?Which one he loves more?

Why Nike does not want to keep in contact with Baker suddenly. And then Baker get married soon.

July 22 Macbeth Reading Journal #1 part 1 "Sleep no more! Macbeth has murdered sleep."(II.ii.46) This is a personification. This is a very important line in Macbeth. because it connects the last scene and the next scene.Firstly Macbeth just murder his king. So he is very nervous and timid about traitor's behavior. He never forget what he did. Secondly it predicts that he will suffer his own mistake in the rest of his life. It describe vividly how painful he is.

part 2 Ourgroup wants to perform killing king scene. In that scene. Macbeth is crazy at that time and the king just wakes up right now.Then the king becomes scared. When we shoot this film, we will focus on the expression changes to explain the mood changes. We want to make a action movie. Our setting will be my our residents. We will use simile, hyperbole, oxymoron, pun and so on.

After watching these kind of film. As a director I feel that slow motion can leave a very deep impression and make the film more interesting. So I use many slow motion in our film, at the time I also use some fast forward scenes to let the authors feel nervous.

part 2 I let the actor add a sentence of dialogue. "You crown your fate, the fate crowns you " I want to show that humans can change themselves, but sometimes the fate often tricks you. When the fate tricks you,what you are able to do is only acceptation.It is very unavoidably.

The symbol is blood. 1. media type="youtube" key="1tEy7xVIalI" width="425" height="350" In our film, Macbeth regrets to kill the king. The he swears to the Witches that he will never kill the king again, and plead witch to help him return back. However, when Macbeth comes back, he can not control his desires again. He kill the king again. Just like this short video, when you want to return back and hope to have a change,the past can never be changed.What we can do g rasping today's opportunity. Macbeth‘s desires prompt him to do anything to get what he wants.

2. "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood/Clean from my hand?"(II,ii,76-77) I think the most important symbol is blood in Macbeth, because the blood symbolizes the Macbeth's fate. Shakespeare uses the changes of blood to show the changes of Macbeth's fate. In the scene which we shot, we focus on his emotional changes after killing the king. he struggles with his own mind, and can not forgive himself. Macbeth tries to wash his hands to reduce his guilt, but in vain, because evidence can be washed off, but guilt can not be changed. His a little remaining conscience is fighting with his overly-ambitions. Macbeth falls into a painful world which has no bottom. In the whole play, the symbol of blood changes a lot. At the beginning, the blood on his hands is for resisting aggression.It is the Justice blood.Then he murders his king. That blood is evil. Finally, he sees his own blood, because his death is caused by himself.
