-Reflection
Before I met "Tuesday with Morrie", Tuesday doesn't mean a lot to me and it is a just normal day of my life. I don't know about the tremendous value of Tuesday. I live a routine life as a high school student, and always have not only thinkings but also agonies. Tuesday was nothing but a school day to me so, I want to make my life more animate and special through this Tuesday.
Maybe I guess, after I met the professor Morrie, my life changed more important. When I was reading the book, Morrie always teach me many lessons of life and I was also a ardent student of him. Each of his words impressed my hearts vividly so I felt Morrie was near around me. He and I was the one - coach and player, like as the relationship of Morrie and Mitch.
To Morrie and Mitch, Tuesday was a precious day in their life. The second title - an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson was same as the contents of book and I fell into a book deeply.
Morrie was a professor in the university and Mitch was his student at one times. They were very close so their names thah each calls the other was a cotch and player. Morrie thought Mitch as like a son of himself and treated him very well but, after Mitch graduated the school, their relationship couldn't last for a long time. Mitch left him and didn't get in touch with him. Mitch lived very busy as a sports commenter, always wrote a lots of intriguing articles, always told a words of sports, always thought ways to became the rich. In the middle of his life, suddenly his uncle died with disease of cancer, and he was very shocked because of that accident. As he, the meaning of death, what it was? The person who did lots of good deeds to him and always nice and cool to other person, died in a moment. He was very tortured and always hoped to die constantly, with no pain. Through his depth, Mitch realized the value of life and witnessed a limited life.
After experienced the existence of death, he was getting weaker I guess, at that time, he remet his old professor, Morrie. Morrie was fighting with disease, ALS. The terminal disease, ALS tortured Morrie. His legs, thighs, hips were getting stiff and at last, he would die with kinds of heart attack. However, Morrie was very dauntless, brave and positive in front of death. In front of death, can we have a kind of mind like Morrie?
Mitch and Morrie, after their remet, they made their own last lecture, on Tuesdays. The lecture's subjects were Death, Fear, Aging, Greed, Marriage, Family, Society, Forgiveness, A meaningful life. Their meetings were not awkward, it was so friendly and warm. I thought they met their own partners, old friends finally. They became the real Tuesday people.
Morrie always said, "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.", "Love is the only rational act.", "Talking, laughing, and sharing minds with other person is the most happiest work in our life." He emphasized relationships with other persons, didn't complain his unlucky disease, coming death. He also mourned, teared, depressed, anxious about his pain and unfortune. However he substituted positive minds for his complicated emotions.
To me, the lecture of forgiveness, feeling sorry for ourselves were most touching and impressed. Forgiveness is so difficult as much as its importance. I also had difficulty with forgiveness to myself as well as to others. Morrie said to me, "Not everyone is so lucky", "Tears are okay", "It's not just other people we need to forgive, We also need to forgive ourselves. Forgive yourself. Forgive others."
Not only forgiveness, other lectures are all impressed and important. Especially about emotions, making the perfect day are so touching. Morrie was deat at last, but his lessons will continue forever, and I also thanked to Morrie about his touching and great aphorisms in his lecture.

-Reflection
The secret diary, when I saw the title of this book, I was so interesting and curious about that. Most of people wonder other person's secrets, so I also wondered about that. Because our meeting is caused by the accomplishment of school, I actually felt uncomfortable feelings a little, but this book was not so boring or difficult.
A hero of this book is a boy, called by Adrian Mole. Adrian's age was started at 13³/₄. At first, I didn't understand about his strange ages but, I finally realized it means the maturity of his mind. He was a son of normal couples and their family is ordinary. However, the first event was started at the mother's adultery.
His mother had immoral attitude with Mr. Lucas and it brought the disruption of his family. I felt very inconvenience and disgusting feelings when I was reading that pages. What was Adrian's emotions?
How he felt when he knew about the relationships between his mother
and creep Lucas? I was so sorry to him and felt pathetic to him.

In contrary to this gloomy story, he sometimes throbbed and fluttered because of his lover, Pandora. He loved Pandora so, at first, he was suffered deeply. He worried alone and couldn't tell his heart to her. Before he and she became a couples, he lived spiritless life and always thought about Pandora. Nevertheless, as I imagined, after their relationships were developed, Adrian thought Pandora and wrote about her all the time.
In this book, his eccentric and funny description impressed and showed as a great appearance a lot. He wrote his diary almost every day about one year and 3 months, and his writings were very creative and funny. Sometimes, he showed his secret sides and told his own feelings, emotions to the diary. In reader's ground, his diary could come to an boring and plain writings, but in my ground, I felt the true side of Adrian and I was so impressed his effort and sincerity.
There are a lot of people in this Adrian's diary. His family, lover Pandora, creep Lucas, best friend Nigel, bad boy Berry Kent, neighbor Bert Baxter and his school-headmaster Mr.Scrunton. During I was reading the whole pages of the book, I felt difficulties because of lots of persons and unfamiliar words. Especially, I was confused by the names - Bert Baxter and Berry Kent. Bert was Adrian's neighbor who was treated by him and Berry Kent was a bad boy who harassed Adrian. Because of diverse characters, the novel was looked attractive more shiny but I was so hard to read and understand them all.
His mother's homecoming, Bert's marriage and his change of mind with Barbara Boyer were the main events at the last parts. When he changed his mind to the new lover, Barbara, I was so angry and depressed. However, he knew his fault and regretted it, I could know he was a real teenager boy.
Frankly speaking, it was the first time that I read the English book, so I couldn't have confident attitude but now, I can tell this book was so fresh and interesting confidently. Thanks to the author.

Efforts on Global Warming

In these days, global warming becomes the most hot issue and serious problem of the world. Global warming has grown bigger and bigger but the human didn't do radical things. Most of the low continents are menaced by the global warming. However, in fact, diverse efforts to prevent global warming comes out and we have to have concentrate on that.
Firstly, there can be personal efforts. For example people have to have interest at this and try to know the serious problems which is caused by global warming. The most important thing is the interest and concern from people.
Secondly, we have to try to reduce the trash and save the energy. Around us, there are many kinds of energy such as water and electricity. If we save these energy, the carbon dioxide can be also reduced. Likewise, lots of trash also cause the methane gas and chemical compounds. We have to reduce these things.
The personal efforts can be weaker than other big efforts, but the personal efforts also very important in our life. Have the efforts to the global warming each other!
Another efforts also can come up. It can be harder than personal efforts. The national effort. For example, thirdly, lots of nations have the agreements among themselves. The Climate Change Convention is the example of their effort.
Lastly, the gonvernment's observation exists. Government has the obligation to watch and observe the enterprises to reduce CO2. Also, they have the power to inform like this important matter to all the public. They can make advertisements or newspaper articles about it.
In conclude, the global warming is the national, global problems. It is so important and serious and difficult to solve it. To solve the global warming, the personal effort and national effort, both of them are so momentous. We have to have lots of concerns about that and try hard to solve it. Then, the world becomes the peaceful and healthy.
