"The princess Bride" Movie review

Have you ever heard about this movie, “The Princess Bride”? I didn’t know about this movie until I watched it herein GLPS. The director Rob Reiner made this movie in 1987. I’ll introduce the plot, characters and the genre.          
                        Rob Riener
         
The genre was romance, fantasy, fairytale and adventure. The Characters were Buttercup, Westley, Humperdinck, Fezzik and Inigo. Now for the plot, there lived a girl named Buttercup. She fell in love with a farm boy named Westley. One day, Westley had to leave. After he left, He didn’t come back for 5 years and people thought he died. Buttercup fell into despair. Afterwards she was supposes to marry Prince Humperdinck even if` she didn’t like him. One day she gets kidnapped by Inigo, Fezzik and Vizzini. She almost dies there. However Westley appears and saves her and they try to run away. However they were caught by Prince Humperdinck and his army and Westley was thrown into the Pit of Despair. There he was almost dead but Fezzik and Inigo save him by taking him to Miracle Max. Westley became alive again thanks to Miracle Max. Then the three men, Westley, Fezzik and Inigo plan to save Buttercup and revenge. At this point, Inigo kills Count Rugen who kidded his father and revenges his father’s death. Afterwards, they rescue the princess and run away.


From this movie, I learned that true always stays together no matter how far apart they are and also that you get punished if you do bad things. The person with outstanding leadership was Inigo. He showed his leadership when he led Westly and Fezzik to invade the palace, rescue Buttercup and get revenge for his father’s death. This move was pretty interesting and I would like to recommend this movie to my friends and family.

30 Day Challenge


In writing class, I saw a TED video about "30 Day Plan". A person named Matt Cuts introduced the "30 Day Plan". He said that he had accomplished many goals such as no sugar, taking pictures every day and quitting Twitter for a month. After watching this video, I realized that I could write my own "30 Day Plan". I'll introduce three things I planned from now on.

First, I made my plan to exercise. Since exercising is good for my body and also my growth I decided to do it and set up my goal. To be specific, I will use stairs and try to participate better in my gym class.

Secondly, I made plans to improve my writing skills. One of my weakest parts of English is writing. So I want to improve my writing skills. The specific way is to write my diary everyday and to participate often in my blog writing.

Last but not the least, my third goal is to keep EOP and to use English. To be specific, I  can reach this goal by using EOP in my dorm room and also during break time.

In conclusion, I was really impressed by the fact that Matt Cuts reached those hard goals in a month. I want to reach my own goals by the end of camp.

Three things I know to be true

1. skate
2. Friendship
3. 46

What can you guess from these three things I listed? Well, I'll explain them right now.

First of all, the reason I wrote "skate" is because  it's my hobby. I enjoy going skating to the ice rink near my house. The main reason I enjoy skating is because while I skate, I get to forget about studying and all the pressure that I get from high expectations from people around me. Another reason is that I love the feeling of the cool air while skating. When I skate in the rink with high speed, I can feel fresh, cool air. These are why I enjoy skating and the reason why I wrote "skate" to introduce myself.



The second thing I wrote was "Friendship". I wrote it because it's my pet's name. I actually have a pet hamster and his name means friendship in Korean.




The last thing I wrote was 46. What do you think this means? 46 is the number of dolls I keep. I like to buy dolls as souvenirs wherever I travel. I baught dolls from Yellowstone, Yosemite, Disney World and many other places I have visited. I counted them last month to make them like a collection and ther were 46 of them. That's why I wrote 46.

These are what "skate", "Friendship" and "46' mean to me.
