Good morning.
This story is the history of the film called " 300," and it is also the movie we will have to report in class.

The year was 1963, and “The 300 Spartans” was in theaters. In this telling of the battle of Thermopylae, Richard Egan played the Greek King Leonidas, who in 480 B.C. led 300 warriors in a doomed battle against the much larger Persian army, and David Farrar, regal in robes of purple and green, was the Persian King Xerxes. The film’s dialogue and staging may seem a bit quaint now. But the young Mr. Miller was stunned as he watched its climax, in which the few remaining Spartans are slaughtered in a hail of arrows.

Good morning

Supersonic “Bullets” of Gas Ejected from the Orion Nebula

I have a astro picture everyday in my desktop which is called " widget."
I love this picture a lot!! : ) : )
This is the description of it:

"This beautiful photograph shows a small portion of the star-forming Orion Nebula. The strange, wake-like structures are supersonic “bullets” of gas ejected from the nebula. What actually caused these ejections is still unknown, but astronomers think there was a recent violent event that fired them out.

Each one of these bullets of gas has a cloud of iron atoms at its tip, glowing bright blue in the image. This is followed by longer wakes of heated hydrogen gas, which are coloured orange in the photo.

The photograph was captured by the Gemini observatory’s powerful adaptive optics system. This allows the observatory to compensate for atmospheric distortions that blur its view."

The day they took this picture : March 23rd, 2007 by Fraser Cain

Practice

My left leg got hurt while I was playing basketball with my friends.
I can not swim recently ><
I will have a swimming contest in this Saturday (3/31). However, it has been a long time since I didn’t swim. I must practice at least one time…

How should I do ???

Free writing in English writing

Good job.
The legend of 1900 is the movie about musician on the boat in 19’s centeries.
But my friends haven’t seen it before.
I’m very sad about it.
Today we write anything we want in our English composition class. I haven’t had this experience before. It is pretty fun and exciting. Soon I will change to another computer and continued the former person’s writing. This is a good experience to practice our immediate reaction. In this game, we will learn how to continue other person’s thinking. This practice is so fun. I think it could increase our English ability.
It is so nice.

The global fish crisis

"Saving the sea's bounty"
It is the terrible title about our enviroment...which is come from National Geographic magazine.
Let me tell you what's happening about it:
" The oceans are in deep blue trouble.From the northermost reaches of the Greenland Sea to the swirl of the Antarctic Circle, we are gutting our seas of fish. Since 1900, many species may have declined by nearly 90 percent, and it's getting worse. Nets scour reefs. Supertrawlers vacuum up shrimp. Nation flout laws.
The crisis announces itself on the bare table of a family in Senegal, in the shrinking enrollment of an elementary school in a seaside village, on restaurant menus and in the languid drift of bycatch tossed overboard with casual indifference. In the following three stories, we examine the net losses balanced against the meager gains. First, the breadth and depth of the problem as epitomized by the massacre of the majestic bluefin tuna. Then the saving grace of a marine reserve in New Zealand, stubbornly propelled into existence by a biologist who insists that what is needed is a new ocean ethic--one that demands we see the ocean not as a commodity, but as a community in which we all have stake. Finally, the slow strangulation of a fishing village in Newfoundland, a cautionary tale in which the collapse of cod in turn diminishes a livelihood and way of life passed down from generation to generation. "

Crisis about our oceans, cirsis about our future ...........

Library

Staying in the library is free for me. I borrow three books from it while my friends were rehearsaling a play yesterday, one is about photograph, another is car electric engineering, and a poem.

The Legend of 1900

I saw the movie" The Legend of 1900" at the library yesterday.

The music of the movie was touched to me. I love it!

This is the story of it

The Legend of 1900 is an interesting new fable from legendary Italian filmmaker Guiseppe Tornatore, maker of Cinema Paradiso and The Star Maker. Based on a monologue by Alessandro Baricco, The Legend of 1900 tells the story of a unique man who never set foot upon dry land. On January 1, 1900, a small baby boy was found abandoned on the Virginian, a transatlantic ship. The crewman who found him names the boy Danny Boodman T.D. Lemon 1900; 1900 for short. 1900 is a true orphan. He knows nothing about his parents or his past. The Virginian is the only thing he knows.

The story unfolds as a series of flashbacks told by a man named Max (Pruitt Taylor Vance, Nobody's Fool, Mumford). In a series of events that seem awkward to the viewer, Max tells various people he meets about his experiences aboard the Virginian with 1900 (Tim Roth, No Way Home, Gridlock'd). The transitions are clunky, causing the story to frequently halt for further exposition before continuing. At a young age, 1900 became a piano prodigy. He entranced people with his ability to play the piano, and dumbfounded people with his refusal to leave the ship. 1900 helped Max ease his transition onto the ocean, and the two became friends, playing together in the band. Max details 1900's experiences with love (in a very Titanic-like meeting), and his encounter with Jelly Roll Morton . Morton is irrationally jealous of 1900 and challenges him to a piano duel to determine the better player. Williams glowers through his role, which is interesting but one-dimensional.

Roth plays 1900 as an enigma. He shows emotion only when he is playing the piano. Vance's character is much more annoying. His only purpose is the narrator. Tornatore gives no reason as to why the two become friends, or remain friends for such a long time. 1900 is well liked by the crew, so why is Max the person 1900 confides in the most? The music of The Legend of 1900 was composed by another legend, Ennio Morricone. Morricone composed more than 400 scores over his career, garnering numerous nominations in the process. Morricone's music permeates the movie, rising and falling with the moods of the characters. The production on The Legend of 1900 is gorgeous. The special effects are great, but here it is a good thing. Long shots of the Virginian do not look quite real, instead it looks almost magical. This is Tornatore's first English film, and although it isn't outstanding, it is a nice effort.

START

It is my first time to do like this...
