The Contender

January 15th, 2008 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

  Written by Robert Lipsyte

  Drama in Harlem

  Before you can be a champion, you have to be a contender.

  Alfred Brooks is scared. He’s a highschool dropout and his grocery store job is leading nowhere. His best friend is sinking further and further into drug addiction. Some street kids are after him for something he didn’t even do. So Alfred begins going to Donatelli’s Gym, a boxing club in Harlem that has trained champions. There he learns it’s the effort, not the win, that makes the man — that last desperate struggle to get back on your feet when you thought you were down for the count.

  Alfred Brooks is not a genius. And he’s bothered to street kids. But he has mind that he want to be strong. He’s a hustler. And that’s what I like about this book.

  I think the only problem of this book is girls. It’s like so harlem. Round character must’ve have sexy engaged girl.

  And I want to recommend this book to hungry boxers like Mrs.Caples, and people who gave up their life.

M.U.S.I.C. Musiq!

December 5th, 2007 by · No Comments · Essays

M.U.S.I.C, Music. Geu sok e chazen ne salm e ga chi (I founded goal of my life in it.)

  I think, Epik high in Korea, they got many messages in their songs. Their messages are like complicated, and a little bit confusing, but if we listen carefully, we can find what they are trying to give message to us. That’s why I like this song.

  This music sounds like simple and modern. I mean, we can get this melody very friendly. 8/8 rhythm used for this song. And I think it’s not like original hip-hop. Clubby hip hop or something I think. When I listen this, I thought this is fresh. But if keep listen this, It’s going to be unfresh. That’s the problem of this song, just I think (not everybody). So, I listen this song, sometimes, like when I feel hopeless.

  I thought music’s able to give hope to hopeless people, and this song’s trying to say to us, everybody can find their hope in music, or what you like, love. You can find happiness in everything. Music, or whatever, everything, can give you hope, and dream.

  Don’t give up this song, and I want to say it. Although it’s few minutes, I hope everybody who are listening this song can find their hope. M.U.S.I.C, Peace!

My mother’s cafe

November 26th, 2007 by · No Comments · Essays

  It was 4 years ago, when mother gets her own shop place. My mother was singer in underground, and she got money when she sold drinks, coffees, and some foods. And sometimes she sang a song on the stage in cafe. Yeah, it was live cafe. Sometimes, I sang a song when nobody in the cafe, and my skill was groing up more and more. It sighted like a bar like taco bar in hardrock hotel. Youths or children couldn’t get in there. Only after 18 years old adults could get there. Cause we sold drinks like beers, wine, or others. It was like a Jazz bar or something. So, I put a sunglasses, and stand my hair for use hair spray like a adult when I worked.

  When I was 13 years old, I helped her work sometimes, of course, I didn’t get money, sure I wanted. I met many musicions in there, they were cool. I learned how to play drum, and cord of guitars. But the cafe was still stucked like a restaurant where flys like. But I liked it, whatever it stucked, I liked that stage, that drum, guitars, pianos. It was my toys. There was like my room. When I play the music, I didn’t know how to time flow up. And my dream was also growing up.

  In my mother’s cafe, there were a lot of drunken customers at night. Sometimes, they were fighting each other, and I hated it. I hated my mom was getting

Future Car

October 18th, 2007 by · No Comments · Essays

  In the future, many cars will be changed. Maybe they can fly, heal themselves, and they can talk. And they will look like a robot. They’ll have their own personality. They’ll fall in love each other. And they’ll have baby. They’re going to eat some food, and they’ll ride for their food like puppy. They’re going to ride faster than now, and when they get some accident, they’ll fight to police car, sometimes. Sometimes, they’ll talk to their owner.

  And they’ll respect their owner, they’ll love their owner forever.

One of the most urgent problems for teenagers, maybe it’s relationship to their friends and parents. All of them want to be friendly to their friends and family, but somtimes, they can’t be. And I’m going to give them some advice.

  Last week, I saw the one movie. It named ‘the girl who leapt through time’. It was a Japanese animation. But I like that one.

  Its story’s like there was a girl in Tokyo. Her name was Makoto. She was a ordinary girl. One day, her bike was broken. But she didn’t know that. After school, she tried to stop the bike front of the train line. But she couldn’t. Because her bike break was broken. She thought she’s going to die. But then, she came back to before 1 minute, she could save her life.

  I like movie like this. It has very interesting story. It says us manything. And I felt many thing in this movie. It alos has many impression to you maybe. If you can through the time, what you going to do? Makoto, who is round character in this movie, she used the time leapt for only her. But more and more, she used it for many thing. And then, she was unhappy for that. It says us the important of the daily life I think.

My beautiful world

September 20th, 2007 by · No Comments · Essays

 I think beautiful thigs are about being impressed. If you can make somebody impressed. That’s ‘beautiful’.

 I think all of musicions are beautiful. They were almost poor or bad… They couldn’t get money. But they like it… They just love their music. It’s their passion. I respect them and that’s impresses me. It’s beautiful!

 And their itirety great, too. Their sensitivities are impression to me. It’s beautiful to me.

 And I think, Korea, USA… The world is beautiful. They’re sometimes, impression to me… Sometimes, people who help other people, then I feel impressed. That’s beautiful and saintfly. You know, it’s the kind of love, and we should help the other people.

 Actually, most of things are beautiful. So, you can do wht you want to do, and you can have hope. And finally we can be what we want. That’s maybe the most beautiful thing I think.

Ji-hye’s courage

September 13th, 2007 by · No Comments · Essays

When I heard my cousin Ji-hye had leukemia, I was surprised. Then she was just 2 years old! She was so young, and she was a good girl. I was sad, no, I mean everybody was sad, Leukemia… I thought she was going to die, soon. So, I took care of her. very well. She didn’t know anything, cause she was so young. And her parents, my aunt and her husband cried almost everyday.

 Only 2 years old! We prayed to god about her. Also, she went to the hospital almost everyday, and how sad, she cried and shouted in hospital. She, “I don’t want to hurt, mommy. Why I have to come to hospital, mommy?” They shved her hair bald, and she hated it. She asked, “Whey I’m different than other people?” And then, my aunt said “Because you’re a good lady.”

 And 6 years after, when she was 8, she and her parents saw a television program named ‘Request of love’. This program is for those suffering from sickness by leukemia or other illness, and they recieved money from the helpers. It was cool. Finally, they could get surgery for their daughter. And it was a success.

 She’s 10 years old now, and she’s a healthy girl, in her school. She can go to school now. But now Ji-hye, needs to be on a diet you! hahaha!
