I went karaoke with Yuki today! We went there at about 10:00 a.m.  I and Yuki have always Political Science and Theory of International Organization on Tuesday, but we didn't have Political Science today. Theory of International Organization is the fourth period, so we went karaoke before it. We went Croquette Kurabu in downtown. I went that store for the first time! We enjoyed karaoke for three and a half hours, but my voice did not come out as having thought for a while because I just got up. I sang songs of Ringo Shina and Tokyo Jihen. I want to become able to sing better! After we left karaoke, we went the university. We took Theory of International Organization. Yuki was sleeping(￣∀￣) I have five straight holidays from tomorrow! I want to leisurely holidays.

BR 2-08: Karen and the Artist

"They're extraordinary," he says.  (p.8)

The artist who names Antonio is little self-centered. He has a talent, indeed, but the act that he leaves a picture, and the money does not pay is annoying to a barman. I think he lacks of common sense. For such him, Karen might be a savior. I think Karen is a reliable person and smart. If it is her, it will be served out an agent magnificently. However, may she do the coexistence of a cabin attendant and the agent? I think it is hard for her. Moreover, I seem that Antonio depends on her. If he is successful as a painter, as for Karen, a living will become easy.

BR 2-07: The Old Woman Who Named Things

She didn't like the idea of being a lonely old woman without any friends, without anyone whom she could call by name. (p.4)

I am glad because the old woman was not lonely finally. I named my iPod and my bicycle, but I feel loneliness like her, and it is because there is merely attachment not treasure. Incidentally, my iPod's name is Ashley and my bicycle's name is Natasha.

By the way, I was surprised that the old woman's car which named Betsy was so cool...! Her house, bed and chair were cute. I feel a sense of incongruity. If Lucky dies earlier than the old woman, it is that she becomes lonely again to be one worry.

BR 2-06: Good Night, Good Knight

So he bent and kissed each scaly little cheek. (p.41)

I chose this book because the illustration is cute, and I think the title is little interesting. There were some I read this story, and thinking.

First, I wonder how three little dragons slept so far. Indeed were they sleeplessness so far? It is hard to think so. Was the act that had a Good Knight work as them really necessary? It means that Good Knight must continue the same thing every night from now on really, if necessary.

Second, I think a Good Knight is not "good" Knight. He is easy to deal with. He was called to come four times at the midnight and I was honest and coped. I read this story and was irritated by the second when he was called to come. His horse is an amazed look, too finally.

BR 2-05: Rich Man, Poor Man

I thought about my only son, Saul. (p.31)

I think this story is very unrewarded and disgusting. Adam is very pitiful. I thought that this story is the man that just a thing became the billionaire in an opportunity gets in the swing and loses all and turns back to poverty before I read it. However, Adam didn't become even a rich person.

I feel anger for the official and the photographer. I understand that he was busy, but I think that he should have coped a little more faithfully. Adam can't read and write letters. Though it is seems to understand them because Adam came over from the village which  had not heard. The photographer is more terrible. He is already a fraud. The person having low social position cannot but swallow it after all. I think Mr.Sheth is narrow-minded while saying a person assistant injury enthusiast because he raised only 10 pounds not 100 pounds.

BR 2-04: Rabbit and Hare Divide an Apple

Mr.Raccoon left quickly‐very quickly. (p.15)

I chose this book because illustration is very cute! I like this illustration. By the way, I didn't know "Hare" in Japanese. It is "Nousagi"! I did not know that I was different from a rabbit in hare either...

I like characters in this book. They are all lovely and little fool. I think Mr.Raccoon is cunning, but did not a rabbit and the hare notice before he finished eating all the mushrooms? Although it is quarrelled with a rabbit hare to get bigger one, the place where they cooperated when  Mr.Raccoon came and were going to protect an apple was interesting.

BR 2-03: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

'It's good to be home again.' (p.19)

I think this story is famous. I like this story. Town mouse likes town's life, and country mouse likes country's life. Japan has a proverb "When in Rome do as the Romans do". I think it is best way to live in a place where is not local. However, everyone likes their hometowns the best.

I live in Kumamoto. I like Kumamoto, and I want to live here until die, but I long to live Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka. If I live in Tokyo or Osaka or Fukuoka, I will acclimate myself to the new land. However, I must certainly suffer from homesickness. It is the first to live in the place where the human being lived so long not only a mouse.
