Psycho【Book Review #2】

At first she thought she was dreaming. A hotel, here, in the middle of nowhere? Impossible. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Yes, it was true. A small sign shining in the night:
BATES MOTEL
'I don't believe it,' she said to herself as she drove towards the sign. 'This is my lucky night.'(p.9)
 Marion Crane is a secretary in Phoenix, Arizona. She loves Sam Loomies, who is in love with her and lives far away in Fairvale, Taxas. She wants to marry him, but he doesn't have so much money to marry her. One day, the president of her office asks her to send $40,000 to the bank. However, she doesn't do so and steals it and go to see him with the money. It's a long way to see him. In the middle of her drive, she is too tired and sleepy to drive, and also it's dark and raining outside. Surprisingly, she bumps into a motel by the side of highway and stays there...

 By the way, Alfred Hitchcock made the movie, Psycho. I like it because it's a white and black movie, which makes you frightened and wonder what happens next. The last scene of Psycho is so surprising that you want to watch again. You can also enjoy Psycho visually. LLC has Psycho, so you can enjoy it in LLC.

My Game Life

Hi! What's up? Today, I watched WWDC online, which is Apple's conference for developers and fans. The event was started streaming from 2:00 a.m.(JST). That's is why I'm sleepy now... iOS11, new MacOS, new iPad Pro, iMac Pro, and HomePod are a little exciting for me. Strictly speaking, I was not especially surprised at these  this time. Anyway, Today's topic is My Game Life. I spend my weekend on playing video game. My favorite is Battlefield 1. Battlefield 1 is based on WWI. Weapons, vehicles, buildings... everything are described minutely. I like to study history, so playing Battlefield 1 allows me to learn the history. They'll provide us new contents this month. I can't miss it!! You can ride a horse and fight enemies. I want to share my other favorite video games, so I decide to post a blog about video games which I recommend to you! Don't miss it!!

1984【Book Review #4】

His finger moved on the table. He wrote in the dust:  2 + 2 = 5 ‘ They can ’ t get inside you ,’ she had said. But they could get inside you. And when they did , something inside you died. The world in 1984 was divided into three regions , ー Eurasia , Eastasia and Oceania. Lives and thoughts of people were controlled by the governments , which also means nobody couldn ’ t have own thought. The main character , Winston , lives in England , where belongs to “ Oceania ” and works for Big Brother , the head of “ Oceania ” . Winston is against for him but others  support him without any questions. He is losing his past under the control , but found the manipulation of the party. Also , he is in love with Julia , one of the Big Brother Party , which is not allowed. However , his longing for her just grew and grew... After reading , I supposed what I could do in this world. I felt there is something real in this book. And I could understand what the cover of this boo

Chemical Secret【Book Review #4】

The story didn't sound very exciting at first. 'I went to a factory today,' John said. That paint factory by the river. No, wait, Andrew. Paint factories can be very exciting. They gave me a job there. I'm going to have my own office, a big car, lots of money - in fact, we're going to be rich...!  Mr. Duncan had did successful business of boats with his wife at first. Then they borrowed too much money to build bigger and better boats, and his wife passed away. After that, he closed his business. He has one daughter and one son to raise and he has to get enough money to raise them, but he is too old to get a new job.  One day, A paint factory gave him a good job, with his own office, a big car and lots of money. He and his children think that we're going to be rich, but things won't go well as he thinks... Vicary, Tim. (2000). Chemical Secret . Oxford: Oxford University Press.
