Movie Review

   The movie "Princess Bride" is a fantasy, romance, and comedy. Many characters appear in the movie but the main characters are Princess Buttercup, Westly, Prince Humperdinck, Spaniard, and the giant.
   The movie starts off in a farm. Buttercup who lived at the farm at the time lived with a farm boy, Westly. As the time went on, they fell in love and live a happy life. However, Westly gets the call from the country to fight with the pirates. Unfortunately a message comes to Buttercup that Westly is dead. Prince Humperdink wanted to marry Buttercup so Buttercup becomes a princess. However, Buttercup was still not happy. One day a group of three people, the bald man, Spaniard, the giant, kidnaps Princess Buttercup. The cause of this horrible event was because the bald man was ordered to start a war by killing the princess. The princess tries to escape but the shrieking eels forces her back to the boat of the kidnappers. However, a small ship chases the kidnappers so they flee to the cliff of insanity. While the princess, the bald man, the giant gets away, the Spaniard is left to cut off the man in black, the stalker. However, the Spaniard loses the battle and gets knocked out by the mysterious man. Next, the giant is ordered to kill the man. The giant's strength was amazing but his brain didn't contain anything so the man in black easily knocked the giant out. The bald man was the last stage. The mysterious man does a game with the bald man to win the princess. The man pours two cups of wine, one with the poison and one without the poison. The bald man and the man in black drinks the wine at the same time but the bald man dies but the man in black lives because he took an antidote before the game. Now the man in black and the princess roll down a hill because they were chased by the prince and his soldiers. The man in black takes off his mask and tells princess that he is Westly, who was thought to be dead five years ago! Westly and Buttercup flee to the forest of thieves to lose the soldier's chase. In the forest, they fall in the quicksand, fights with the rats of unusual which are giant rats. After going through this "amazing" forest, they're misfortune continues. The prince and his soldiers were waiting for them just outside the forest. Westly gets tortured in the pits of dispair with a machine that sucks up his life. While Westly gets tortured, Buttercup  doesn't know about this fact because prince Humperdinck lies to her that he sent him back to the sea and he also wanted to marry Buttercup because he wanted to start a war which means that he's the person who made the three people kidnap Buttercup in the first place!so he . Because they tortured Westly so badly, almost all of his life gets sucked out. However, the giant and Spaniard decides help Westly because Spaniard wanted a revenge on the six fingered man, the man who killed his father. Spaniard and the giant takes Westly's almost dead to Miracle Max, an elf that can save a person. Max saves Westly he heads to the castle to save Buttercup with his fine fellows. Westly saves  Buttercup and of course Spaniard makes his payback on the six fingered man and they live happily ever after
   I think this movie gave me the chance to go back to when I was young. It was very interesting to see a movie with a mixed genre. But the kissing parts that came out were kind of gross. I think think the movie would have been better if it had less kissing parts.

My 30-day goals

     I define a goal as a thing I want to do or achieve. An example of a goal is getting all As on a test. I think the most interesting 30-day goal that Matt Cutt achieved is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
     Just like Matt Cutt, I have three 30-day goals that I want to achieve which to go through GLPS getting green cards, getting awards at GLPS, and to study hard for debate and writing class in GLPS. First of all, I want to go through GLPS getting green cards. The two steps that I will take to achieve this goal are first, I will speak English all the time whether the teachers are watching or not. Second, I will do the homework given from classes. My second goal is getting awards at GLPS. The first step I'll take to achieve this goal is preparing for competitions so that I can win them. The second step I'll take is getting green cards by helping out TAs, PAs, and teachers because you can get awards if you get a lot of green cards. Last but not least, my final goal is studying hard for debate and wrting class. The first step I'll take is focusing during classes and listening to the teachers because focusing during classes is the best way to study hard. The second step that I'll take is thinking logically and reading a lot of books. Thinking logically is the first thing you need when you are debating or writing. You also need the background knowledge which comes from books.
     I hope you think of your own 30-day goals and hopefully achieve them.

Three Things I know to be True

  Welcome to my blog. I live in Ilsan, Korea and go to Jeongbal Middle School. My hobby is playing sports especially basketball. I have a family of five members, including me. The three things I know to be true are Asia, green, and five.
  
   First of all, I live in South Korea which a country located in the continent of Asia. It is also known as the biggest continent on earth.
  

  Second, my favorite color is green because it makes my eyes relax. The color green also fits my personality because I'm a person who makes others relax.
   Finally I have a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, and me which adds up to a family of  five members. These are the reasons why I think Asia, green and five are my three things I know to be true.
