"The Princess Bride"

   Do you know the movie " The Princess Bride"? Name of the movie seemed like a romance, so I had high expectation, because I like romance, and also I wanted to rest while watching a movie. However miss Angela told us that we have to write a movie review, so I thought I couldn't watch movie comfortably. " The Princess Bride" was the love story between Buttercup and Westley. They had to pass many stages to accomplish a true love. Rob Reiner is the director of this movie. When the movie started there was no subtitle, so I was confused, because it was the first time to watch movie without subtitle.

  The lights were off and the movie began. There were a boy and grand father. Grandfather was reading a book for his grandson, and the book was " The Princess Bride". There were Buttercup and her servant Westley, they fall in love. Westley left Buttercup and went to earn some money. Buttercup thought Westley was dead, so she had to marry with Humperdinck. She was kidnapped by Vizzini, Inigo, and Fezzik. However, Westley rescued her. He passed cliff of insanity, fire swamp, forest of thieves, and quick sand etc. Westley was caught by Humperdinck, and was killed by the torturer. Buttercup didn't know Westley died, so she asked Humperdinck if Westley come to their wedding she'll not gonna marry with Humperdinck. However Inigo and Fezzik brought some miracle medicine from Miracle Max, so they could make Westley alive. Inigo killed 6 fingered person and Westley and Buttercup could live happily ever after.

 
    During the movie, I was so bored, but I couldn't sleep because I had to write my movie review. Some parts were fun like Buttercup sinking in the quicksand or like Inigo repeating the same phrase to 6 fingered person. Others are not that interested, because I could guess the story and the stories are too unrealistic. Such as dead person alive by miracle medicine. However, teacher would show me it has a lesson. I think the main lesson about this movie was true love. Buttercup and Westley were too passionate to achieve their love. When I grow up, I want to meet the person who loves only me, and also to love that person. I learned at school that love needs passion, dedication and familiarity. I could exactly learn from this movie why those things are need to love. Also, I can learn some leadership from the movie characters. Westley had a leadership. He lead Buttercup to pass many dangerous places. This camp is leadership camp also, so learn leadership from Westley is not bad.

   When I was watching movie, I thought some of things like what I learned or how I feel while watching movie, but this time  was the first time to do like writing a movie review like this detail. I could know that writing a movie review is very good for learning things from movie, because while writing a movie review I can think many things about the movie and I can also arrange my thinking. The movie will last for a long time, so the time I watched movie was not wasted.
  

3 goals during GLPS

 Have you ever heard about "30-day challenge"? It is a challenge on anything you want. For me, I came to glps for 4 weeks, almost 30 days. So I will try to do a "30-day challenge". Matt Cutt had already finished his "30-day challenge". HE set what should he do and what he shouldn't. However, it's hard to do all of things during the camp, so I will just make 3 goals;

1) Solve math problems, about one chapter.
2) Write in my diary in detail.
3) Present my history presentation well.

 To achieve these goals in the next 30 days, I have to make it more systematic, so I will decide what steps I should follow. To solve math , about one chapter, I should solve 10 problems at least a day. During glps, I have a tone of thins to do, But math is also as important as English. Also, while solving problem perfectly, I should try to solve them by myself.

 Another goal is to write in my diary in detail. I'm a middle school student, and I never wrote a diary after I graduated elementary school. In glps, I have an opportunity to write my diary, so I want to write in various ways. For example, I can draw a picture, write poems, and also write novels. The most important thing of this goal is to not forget to write every day.

The last goal I have to achieve is to present well in my history presentation. I think I don't have many skills of presentation. I think I have to talk confidently when I'm in front of the class.

When I achieve all these goals, this camp will be more worthful than any other thing.

From now on, I want to explain you about me. My name is Kim Sung Ji, and I'm 15 years old. These are too basic things about me. So, I'll show you three words that are related to me.

1)5
2)white
3)wire

Guess what these words mean. First one is number 5. Can you think of anything from number 5? It means I want to grow 5cm more. Now I'm only 161 or 162cm, I want to grow until 165 or 166cm.

Second word that is related to me is white. Everybody will think my favorite color is white. But you're wrong. It means I want more white skin. I envy people who have white skin. I'm trying not to get a sunburn. However, my real skin was a little black, so I can't be more white than now.

 
 The last word is wire. You will be surprised how "wire" is related to me. "Wire" means that I had a wire to adjust my teeth. I started it to adjust snaggleteeth.


These are the words that I can use to represent myself. I think this is the first time I have introduced myself this way. I am interesting than a normal introduction. I hope many people could know many interesting things about me.
