Final Exam!

The Final exam is coming. I was worried about it. I have to spend more time on my text books. But I don’t want to! It is such a hard work! I’d like to enjoy my summer vacation after the terrible work on those exams!

A college department party~

The song my classmate sang, by the original singer.

I went to our college department party this Wednesday night. It was very interesting! I arrived the place early because I had to help the staffs, but I didn’t found anyone in my group. I was very embarrassed. But when the party started, I was enjoyed! We played many games together and were tired while we arrived the dormitory. It was surprised that one of my classmate sang a difficult song, and he sang quit well. I felt excited and had a very great time!

Dine with my prexes~

I dined with my seniors tonight. We went to a Japanese fondu and ate together with chatting. At the beginning, I was too nervous and shy to talk with my prexes. But after a while, I tried to enjoy their conversation, and it worked! Although I didn’t talk a lot, I listened to their interesting conversation. I also had a very good time!

"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Discussions:

1. Faith is the name of Goodman Brown's wife. Is it the right name for her? What does her name symbolize?
Yes, it is. Because I thought her name symbolized the faith of Goodman and then his “faith” left him.
2. The pink ribbon is mentioned several times in the article. What is its meaning and significance?
Pink is a color mixed by white and red. It is a complicated color, like Goodman’s wife, Faith; she is also a complicated woman in the story.
3. Is there any "witch" issue in this article?
Yes, of course. The old woman Goodman met in the woods is a witch.
4. The article is an allegory? What is allegory? What do you learn from this article?
Yes, it means that it has a lesson in the story. I learned a man should follow and insist his belief, but don’t get into a dead end.
5. Do you think the whole story is Brown's dream or it is real?
I thought it was Goodman’s dream because Faith wanted to kiss him while he was back. He pushed himself into a dead end and died in a miserable ending.

"If Only"

This is a movie that first produced in 2005. I watched it at medical college meeting. The topic of the speech this time is about "life." Before I watched the movie, I just thought the leading lady is beautiful and petite. But I feel touched while I watched the movie. The man saw his girlfriend pass away in front of him, he was sorrowful and regretful. But when he woke up the next day, he went back to yesterday again; he had a chance to rescue his girlfriend! Although the movie didn’t have a happy ending, I thought it was the best ending! I almost burst into tears!
