Incredible Storybook

"Incredible Storybook" by Miss Smith's

Plot: The book relates the story of a teacher with a quite curious storybook.
When she reads her book, it's like all the characters inside come alive!

When reading a book, are you only reading those black lines?
no of course, we are imagining the story within our mind.

It is the same while listening to a story,
I remember when I was a child and I used to listen to story,
It would sound so real that it seemed I could even see them.

I think the book relates how story can be fascinated and be attractive.
It seems that we are being absorbed in the story's universe.

The book is more of an mixture of reality and fiction, I like it.
In the end, we don't even know if it was imagination of just reality.
It is really confusing.

Also, the teacher quite not the type of stereotype one that we usually find in book.
The one with a clean haircut and who wears glasses.
The teacher inside looks cool and quite badass.
She has red hair, it looks really original, I like it.

The colors in the book are really vibrant as well, it is really colorful and warm.

Moses goes to a concert

Plot: Moses and his classmates who are all deaf go to a concert. 

I have to admit that I couldn't understand the point of going to a concert if they are all deaf.
I mean going to a concert is for the music. I was like, how could they hear the music if they can't.

But in the end, I was wrong. It wasn't a bad idea after all, it was a great idea.
It is not because they can't hear that they shouldn't go listen to a concert.

They can feel the music, they can feel the vibration of the symphony.

I guess we shouldn't marginalized people who are different from us.
If they want to do something we think they physically can't, we mustn't judge them.
Because in the end, if they really want, they can do it.

I also really like this book, because it teaches us sign languages.
It also teaches children to be more tolerant and make them understand more other people's situation.

Also, this book also gives a lot of courage to children who are in this kind of situation.
The fact that one who leads the orchestra was also a deaf woman, is something I find really touching.
Because it shows deaf children never to give up and that nothing is impossible.
Never set up limits to oneself. 

I am quite surprised to see discover those kind of book,
Children's books really are full of surprise and really interesting.
As a young adult, I really enjoyed it.

"When you set your mind to it, you can become anything you want when you grow up"
Very heartwarming message in the end.

Alice in Wonderland chapter 8 心得

Previously I said that I like to read books, but I have to admit that "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Caroll was a quite tough one. 

When reading the book, I have to be really concentrated because sometimes I get lost in those nonsense black lines.

However I like the chapter VII "A Mad Tea-Party" where the March Hare, the Hatter and the Dormouse are stuck in time.

I like the personification of the time,

In this chapter, they described Time as someone quite strict and who asked for being respected.
If we don't respect it, he is going to punished us.

But in real life, are we really punished by time?
We usually say that we don't have any time, or if I have time I will do it.
Sometimes it is like we are being controlled by the time.

We usually take time as granted and when we grow up and look back,
we started to realized all the time loss by procrastination or by doing nothing meaningless.
Started to feel regret and trying to catch up the time.
It that a kind of punishment?

Have you ever heard of the proverb "Revenge is a dish best served cold"?
It means that it is best to take your revenge when the person is not aware of it and doesn't see it coming when it happens.
The dish being cold means that we have waited from when it was hot.
it's implied Time.
Is time taking his revenge then?

We can't see the time, but we can feel the effect on it on our body or on our environment, or maybe
or our feelings "Time heals all wounds".
If we take advantage of the time, we can make it an advantage.

Throughout I think Time plays a really important role in this chapter,
Because to be honest, we are living in a society who wants us to be productive and wants fast results. We are being unconsciously being controlled by it.

In addition, the chapter seven seems to be full of nonsense dialogue and unanswerable riddles.
The Hatter who was the one who asked Alice "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" doesn't even know the answer.

Alice who expected him to know the answer is disappointed in the end.
Growing up doesn't mean being an adult, I think adult is just a word
but not one is really an adult.

When I was young I thought that reaching 20 is being an adult,
But as I am in my 20's, I feel like deep inside me I am still little child.
Who is still afraid of the outside world, afraid of having responsibilities, afraid of relationships.

I think Alice doesn't have to be disappointed or disillusioned about the adult world,
because even Adults are as confused as she is.

I think that those dialogues represented well the society in where we are living in.
Just a confused one, when nothing really makes sense.

In conclusion, I have to say that even if "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" gave me a hard time, I quite enjoyed it.
