Rights movement - Blogging#5

I saw the movie "The Help" in my class. This movie is about the african-american's human rights in the U.S.A. My interests about the movie lead me to investigate more about the african-american's human rights movement.

The first african-americans came to the american states in 1619 when Netherlands ship brought 20 africans in Virginia. But we don't know whether they were brought as servants or just workers. Even after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Africans in the U.S.A were discriminated from the Anglo-Saxons. They didn't get equal rights as well as the rights to vote. Africans started to protest nonviolently in 1950 to get eqaul rights.

I knew that they were discriminated harsh but the descriptive pictures in the movie made me sad and angry. Through out the whole movie, I was thinking how unfair it is to get discriminated just by the color of skin. All humans are equal and have rights to live and ignoring it is a brutal thing. I highly honor those who fought for their equal rights and brought the slogan of "no racism" to these days.

Spring's energy - Blogging #4

 Winter with sharp and cold winds has gone, while warm and fresh spring is coming. I feel that spring is always full with energy of beginning and warm due to the sunshine. Cold ice have melted and green sprouts are coming up, also all living things are awaking in spring.
 There are green energy in every trees and flowers and all hibernation animals are ready to move. I am very happy that the flowers are ready to bloom in order. Colorful and various flowers excites us to go out and enjoy them. The sun stays longer in the sky while it stays shorter and disappers in the cold winter. That is the reason why spring is felt more bright.
 Our dress gets thinner as the weather becomes warm. Due to our light-weight clothings, we feel more light and fresh. However I feel sad that "cherry blossom season" is too short. I wish to see all those kinds of flowers are in full bloom.
 I can't wait to see them!

I Like or Dislike Winter ! - Blogging #3

After harsh cold winter, spring almost came near to us.

 

It is still cold in the morning and the evening but I really hope warm spring to come early.

I don't like winter because I feel cold easily compared to others.

I used to like winter better than summer, but now I feel stuffy because I have to stay home all day when the weather is too cold.

 

The snow looks beautiful only at indoors. 

 

It becomes black and dirty snow at outside and too much snow causes car accident, natural disaster etc.

 

Furthermore, in winter, life seems to be sleeping. Most of the trees stay quiet with their empty branches.

 

However winter is a very romantic season. Due to the Christmas and New year day, it is full of newness and romance.

 

Many bright decorations in the dark street makes heart warm even in the harsh cold weather.

 

Also long harsh cold winter enables us to feel the importance of people beside me. 


For example, I can feel the body temperature as well as warmness of my people when I walk street with my hands held by my friend or hug with my boyfriend.

   

But still, I don't like long and cold winter. I hope fresh and warm spring to come soon!
