TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (REFLECTION)



              When I make this commercial, I download some parts of movie of To kill a mockingbird. As I’m downloading videos, I watch the movie. Actually it helps me to make understand more about the book. The commercial that I made, it doesn’t look that funny as many people want to watch. But I hope that many people should read a book called To Kill A Mockingbird. It changed my thoughts and ideas. It does help me a lot of thinking more. Not just by making this video, all I have done for few weeks of posting many things, I’ve learned many things. My writing skill has improved and also making posters or timelines. I also learned how to write the summary well. It helped me a lot from English skills. I hope that we can do something like this next time. Now I love this book ‘TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.’

Spectator Sport: Amusement Park



         It’s a madhouse, but people like it. It is for kids, teenagers, and adults. This place was so crowed, full of people everywhere and place that people want to relax. Widely known among the people. Air was fresh. The wind that crunched through the tree branches that refreshed me. I found a bench in the shade that no one could disturb me. It has fantastic and dreamy rides for little cute kids, excited teenagers, and not very interested adults. Blue, yellow, red balloons were grabbing by children and their parents. An Enormous Ferris wheel was going around with many people. People were eating their delicious snacks and foods. They enjoyed multifarious of rides. Grandiose roller coasters, horrible haunted house, high Viking, and rounded merry-go-round. Bungee drop falls from seven-teen stories high that might attack people’s heart. Popping popcorns, layer one upon hamburgers and delicious hotdogs were grabbing by hungry people.
         They began parade with people who danced brilliantly on the ground. They even smiled nice. They were shaking their hand here and there along with big yellow bus. In the children’s park; many children were making fun of each other and play together that they known each other before. The best part for children is zoo. It was with variety of animals that could even scared children. Children were looking at animals as adorable doll. A intrepid children stared at Lion. Huge and scary lions, long necked giraffe, giant elephant, and adorable kittens. Animals were showing their improved beguilement. The seven years old boy was finding his mother and father that he crying here and there. After he found her parents he showed nice smile to everyone. In the dark night all the lights off and no one else is here except silent. But it opens after the bright sun rises. Many color of balloons, shows, performance, delicious foods and exciting rides. It is a place that has dream and hope. Anyone can come this place. This place is an amusement park.
