Journal 18: It's hard to say GOODBYE

It’s last time to write my last journal. The time is going too fast, I totally remembered my first time to do this. At the beginning of the semester, I complained why we have to do journal for every week, and too much homework to do every day. But the time goes on, l felt very plenary in this semester. Even it spends me lots of time on writing and rewriting many drafts, and to be honest, that’s really helpful. In my memory, we had a group presentation, An, Cindy and me with a group. We worked every hard, and they helped me a lot during prepared the presentation. Finally we got really good score for our present. There is lots of happiness memory in my mind. Besides of my group’s partner, I also like other my classmates. We worked together, learning much news knowledge in class. We shared our happiness and complain. We saw the movie with eating fries, designing an advertisement in class. It was really happy in every class, just besides we had a timing writing. I had lots of words want to say for my classmates and also want to say THINK YOU to my kindness teacher Sean! You teach me a lot, even I got lots of trouble in my essay, and you still help me in patience.  

At the end, I hope our teacher and all of my classmates have a wonderful vacation! I saw some of friends are preparing to go back their country. I wish they had a great holiday, and don’t forget connect me!   GOOD LUCK FOR OUR PROFESSOR! GOOD LUCK FOR OUR CLASSMATES!

Journal 17: Reaction to Film: Baraka

On Monday we saw a movie Baraka. To be honest I felt this movie really bad at beginning. Because of it have no plot not actor and no dialogue. I felt uncomfortable that I never see this style movie any more. However, when the movie goes on, I realized that the movie without words, all the screens is coming from pictures also showing a wonderful feeling for people. I was amazed by the images and the camera technique. Especially for the sequence of screens, this moment we are still macaques that mimicking the human face and imagination, the second minutes, the picture come out Mount Fiji in Japan. By contrast, although this movie style is really different by others, we still can know the questions it brings to me strike me, and it makes me rethink about the human life. There are lots of content that we need to consider. Such as different countries have different situation. The poor countries need to have their food in rubbish station, but some rich countries; they don’t need to care about their regular life. This movie is really encouraging me to go forward in the future. We still have lots of knowledge to learn, and we were easy to enjoy our life without consider the unfair life. We are thinking so individually and separately, so after this movie, I think everyone need to give a new situation in the future. Is it necessary to chance our regular life or just enjoy our satisfied our life. Even this movie is shown many years ago, but it still has a good influence by people, especially the people who lives in an easeful life.
