Comparison of the book and the movie

  Today, we watched all the movie. I think the movie do not have lots of detail. For example, father and Ashmol lose Pobby and Dingan. Kellyanne was very sad, and she got sick when she knew this thing. Then, she wanted father and Ashmol to find Pobby and Dingan in the field. When they went to there, father got the problem, because other people think his father is a thief. Then, Kellyanne got sick, she wanted Ashmol to go field again, and find the Pobby and Dingan. In the movie, Ashmol rode the bicycle to their, and he just bring a flashlight. But in the book, Ashmol bring a sausage for dog. That is because, the dog is next to the hole. So, the book has more details. At the end of book, they have a very sad end - Kellyanne was die. That is because, Kellyanne got a very special disease. Ashmol made a funeral for Pobby and Dingan, because he wanted Kellyanne feel better. But it doesn't make Kellyanne get better.  But in the movie, Ashmol also made a funeral for Pobby and Dingan. There were lots of people in there. Then, the movie was end. The movie did't show us Kellyanne was die. I think the end is the most different thing between the book and the movie. We do not know Kellyanne's life when the movie ended. So, I think the book has more details. The movie  show us people's action and expression. It can help us easy to understand the story. But we can not see it in book, we just can imagine the story. At the last, the book and the movie has lots of difference. So, we can use movie to understand the story, and use book to learn the writing skills. It can help us a lot.

Fall Production of Galileo review

                            Fall Production of Galileo review
  Yesterday, John, Leo and I watched the drama of Galileo. After we are seated and door's closed, theater seemed to be quiet and dark. Suddenly beams of light appeard and main characters started to perform. The protagonist of the show is Galileo of course, he is an astronomy who believed in sun-centred universe or heliocentric. However almost nobody around Galileo listen to his idea nd follow his ideas. Even more, the Catholic church who believes in earth-centered universe started to trust him.  During the show Galileo is in the jail bevause of spreading his ideas to everybody. However, the show is much harder than I thought it will be. The dialogs were full of vocabulary and short phrases. Also, over the whole show some parts were really confusing and full of misunderstanding. If a person do not know what happened during that period of time, it was really hard to finish the show and understand the show. Luckily there was a water break during the show and there is some food in the gym. During the break we decided to finish the show because there is nothing else to do. However, on the second half of the show, it is more confusing. The only thing I know is Galileo was released from the jail for some reason and then he seems tired. Although the plot was hard to understand, the show still had a lot of good singers and actors. During the show there was a lot of singings maybe solo or song by multiple singers. There was a lot of local Cheshire's citizen coming to enjoy the show. Mostly they are old, but they seemd nice. There was also some young children watching the show, some children talked and interrupeted the show. There parents seem sorry and stopped there child or take them out immedietly. However during most part of show it was quiet and everybody focused on the show. After they performed, the characters thanked the audience and everybody clapped. Even more, there was somebody shouting "Bravo" and made a laughter. When we walked downstairs after the show was finished, we saw the main characters stand beside us in the hallway in two rows. They said thank you and shake hands with each person. In my opinion, I think if they hand us a plot summary it will be much helpful. I heard from other international students they complained about the show that it is really hard to understand. So do I, if they speak more clearly or just make an explanation of some scenes, it will be much excited. Or I shall improve my listening skill to understand the show. In conclusion, I still think they did a great work on fall production and if next show is easier I may come.
