"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is a story about a person who always has daydreams. In Walter Mitty's daydreams, he is always a very great people in his daydream, but actually he just a very normal person in his real life. He has a terrible wife, who always chatter and be whiny at him.
In his first daydream, he became a hydroplane's commander, he wore his full-dress uniform with the white cap. And he commanded to avoid from a accident when they will face a storm.In his another daydream, he became a captain and is talking to the sergeant. They are drinking Brandy.
In reality, Walter Mitty is a man who is very normal and always listen to his wife. He never contradict what his wife said. For example, when his wife told him to wear the gloves, although he really didn't want to wear, he still wear them at first. When he drove away from his wife, he finally took off the gloves. And when his wife told him to buy some puppy biscuits, he just went to buy some without asking for the reason. Others treat him like someone who is normal and even a little silly.
Walter Mitty daydreams because he wants to escape from his real life and his boring daily life. He wants to become a superhero.
Absolutely Harrison Bergeron is a hero. He broke the law which the Handicapper General set. And let people can get out of their handicap. He fight for everyone, because he thought it's not the right way to keep this world to be equaled for everyone. Everyone are good at something. That's what they had been given since they were born.
If Harrison Bergeron would be the ruler, he must let everyone get off their handicap. And let everyone know what they are good at or better than others. But I thought he will be a haughty emperor, because he thought there is no other people is better, stronger, more talent than him. So maybe he will not listen too his duke, earls. And the society will be not so perfect and peaceful like before, because everyone got their advantages and disadvantaged. Through that, some people will be jealous on somebody else are better than them on something.

 You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now.
(Chapter 7, page 120)
There is a man on the poster. He was looking for the purple castle. And there are many beautiful views on his way to the castle. And these views make him feel very happy.
My quote means we have to find the good, true and beautiful thing as it is now, so I drew this poster. Because the man in the poster was watching the views on the both sides of the road. But actually the castle which is far away from him is the place he wants to find. But the views he can see now are also very good and beautiful.
My parents' life was quite different from mine when they were at my age. When they were at my age, they didn't have so much entertainment sets for fun, and their life wasn't so convenient like now. They didn't have AC, microwave oven and fridge at their home. They didn't have the convenient transportation like cars, taxis, and metro. They just can go out by bikes or foot.
My parents had to face the problems like fighting with his brothers, or hurt themselves when they go out for fun.nk
Still, we also got many problems which our parents wouldn't get when they were our age. The most difference is that we need to face the stress from studying, because we have to work harder than them to get into a American college.
And we also got the different thinking about the world. Sometimes we think thing in the different way from our parents. And we also got different value, we measure thing's value in different way.
And different thinking and values will cause many problems between my parents and me. For example, my mom thought love me is to care about me, but I thought i'm fifteen years old now, she doesn't need to care about me like before, I want to have own space.
 I choose these images because I thought the k-pop influence our generation so much. If you ask 100 people in our generation, 60 of them must say: I like k-pop! I think myself is the best example to show k-pop is so influential to our generation. I like k-pop form I was in middle school. When I first hear their songs, I started to fall in love with them. And their appearances are also one important reason why there are so many people love them. They must all be very pretty or handsome. You can see from the images beside.
I thought my life in 20 years will be quite different from the life I'm living now. At that time, I will get a job and married with someone. Maybe I will even got a child at that time. I will go to work at 9 o'clock, and go back home at 6 o'clock. Then I will played or chat with my child. After the dinner, I will sit in sofa with my husband and my kid, and watch TV together with them. After that I will take my kid to have a bath, then bring him/her to bed and sit next to his/her bad until he/she fall asleep. Then I will go to my bad and chat with my husband about what happened today. In the weekend, I will take my kid to my parent's house and spend the whole day with them.
I hope I will be a manager or a executive of a company. And I want to take charge of the marketing management.
I hope I will be successful in both career and family. I hope I can live independently, without the help of my parents. But I can offer them the things they want. And I hope I have an excellent husband who love me much, and a lovely kid, whatever a boy or a girl. And I have the enough ability to let my k
For having a happy life, I thought the most important thing is the people who I loved are all healthy and happy. If the people I loved are healthy and happy, I will have no burden about them, so I can have the life which I want to have, but not following what happened to them. And if the people who I loved are happy, I thought their happiness also will influence me.
Mitch is not happy with his life now, because he always asked himself 'what happened to me?' That shows Mitch is not happy and pleased with his life now. And his life now isn't what he dreamed when he was in college, so I thought he is not happy with his life now.
His life is quite different from what he thought when he was in the college. He wanted to be a musician and like to play the piano, write songs. But now he is a sports writer, the job which has not any common points with a musician. And he thought money as evil when he was in college. But now he writes reports for the rich sports players. He thought he would never work for money, but now he writes reports for five different newspaper offices to earn money. He thought he would keep in touch with his college students, but now he lost all the contacts with them.
For Mitch need now to be happy with his life, is to have a dream, and to be hard-working to achieve it. He should live for the dream, not the money. And he should find what he really like in his life, and to improve it as a hobby. So he can find something fun for him to do in his life. And maybe create a organization or a plan to help other people, like poor people, orphan, or the people which have the same disease with his old professor, Morrie. Or get more free time instead of working, so he can get a child, the child must let his life become happy and meaning ful!
Before the interview, I was a little nervous and worried. Because I worried about whether they're acceptable and sane. And one of the problems which I thought I will have is whether they can understand what we are saying and can answer us. The most important thing which I want to know is why they come to live in the nursing home. Are their children too busy or they want to live in the nursing home.
During the interview, the biggest problem which we had is one of our partners can't understand what we are saying, because she is too old, her ears are not good, her reaction is not so good, so we can't understand each other. So it's hard for us to do a interview. We got three partners, they are all about 80 years old, they like to listen to our singing and like to go outside for exercising. Which I like most about them is that they always smiled at us and listened to what we are saying. They meshed with us very well.
After the interview, I still got several questions on them. And next time I want to know more about their lives before, when they were studying or working. I wonder to know something interesting about their lives.
