Q #7

This play reveals about us about how humans are foolish that when humans do not have freedom, they search for it, but when they gain freedom, they suffer for too much freedom. Anne Frank and her family desires freedom during the Holocaust. However, modern people suffer because of the freedom to love, freedom to attempt murder, and tons of other freedoms that they have. Humans did not gain happiness either when they did not have freedom or did have freedom. Perhaps, humans cannot gain happiness by themselves.
Power of love is so strong that it can give happiness to people nearby. In the play, since Anne was happy, other people became happy, too.
Courage and hope makes a person happy that they have future. Courage and hope is also a process to a goal. When a person have courage and hope, even though they do not reach the goal they are happy because they have tried best to gain courage and hope in a miserable situation. However, if a person do not have courage and hope, sadness and depression are the process to his or her goal. Even though that person reaches his or her goal, since his or her process were fulfilled with sadness and depression, the achieved goal will not give him or her happiness.
The theme of this play is happiness. This relates to "Prison Break." In "Prison Break," two men tries to put Burrows into death. However, one of them decides to take a risk and quit that job because he was not happy with it. Though he faces death, at least, his death was justice.

Q #5b

The most difficult part about hiding in the house is that you have to give up some of your identites, such as sports or communication. Loosing your identity and being someone who you are not, is difficult.

Q #5a

The statement "There are no walls, there are not bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind," states that people can control you physically, however, they cannot control your mind. I agree with this statement because our mind depends on our decisions.

Q #4c

While Anne is dreaming, Anne does not know if the dream is real or not. But we as audience know that it is a dream. This makes me feel good because I know more things that Anne does.

Q #3

The theme of the play "Anne Frank" is that happiness is greater than death. Human's concept of death is very dark and depressing. However, if human die with happiness, human's original concept of death no longer exists. Now the concept of death will be bright. Anne Frank's happiness did not only impact her, but also impacted her companies. Her happiness made her family and friends also happy. Though Anne Frank was executed in the Holocaust, she was happy. Anne Frank's death was a disaster to Anne's family. However, at least her death might not have been a disaster to herself. Perhaps, her happiness covered her death and allowed her to change her concept of death.

Q #2

Prejudice is an opinion that is unreasonable towards someone. Prejudice is found in schools. Students often have a negative opinion towards a student who are nerdy and not "cool." Sometimes, this leads to suicide. Whatever the results and effects of prejudice is, it is not good.

Setting (A Boat to Nowhere)

I think that Vietnam is a very appropriate setting for the plot of the novel A Boat to Nowhere. The plot of this novel is in a war, which fits with the Vietnam War. Also, the location of Vietnam fits with the plot of the novel. The main characters take journey to Thailand by a boat. Traveling a long distance through an ocean with such a small boat is near impossible. Therefore, the author makes the main characters to travel through the rivers to Thailand.

Charaters (A Boat to Nowhere)

In the novel A Boat to Nowhere, three characters who originally lived in the village: Mai, Loc, and Grandpa, are isolated from people outside their village. They do not know many informations about what is happening outside their village. Therefore, they cannot prevent themselves from any crisis. In the other hand, Kien knows many things that are happening outside the village. However, he does not have the power to do anything about what is happening outside the village. Hence, he searches help from Mai, Loc, and Grandpa, and decides to run away with a boat. From the moment they sail away from the village, the four people becomes a team. They starts to care about each others, and sacrifice for each others.

Theme (A Boat to Nowhere)

In the novel A Boat to Nowhere, Mai, Loc, Grandpa, and Kien take a long journey. The theme of this novel is the importance of companies. Mai, Loc, Grandpa, and Kien depend on each others. If one is depressed, others also become depressed. However, if one shows gallantry, others also gain courage. On the journey where storm striked the boat, when Mai, Loc,and Kien thought that they would die, Grandpa showed courage and Mai, Loc, and Kien too gained courage, which led them to survival. Therefore, the theme of the novel A Boat to Nowhere is how important companies are. Perhaps, to develop yourself, you should first develop your companies.

Secret

In summer school when I was about 3rd grade, I was not good at English. Some guy who was younger than me started to call me "Nick." I had no idea why. Since all I knew were "yes" and "no", I replied "yes." Then other people started to call me Nick, even the teachers. When the teachers asked me for my English names, people shouted "Nick" while I said "yes."
Now this had caused some problems. At the last day, when I thought this "Nick" thingy was over, the school opened up a parents and teacher conference. My mom attended the conference, but no one knew her son in thet school. Later, she found out that I was Nick not Steve. I have kept my name a secret.

Courageous Moment

It was during a summer of about 2005. I was attending a summer school in America. There was a legend that there lived a ghost in our dorm. One day, this guy from Russia screamed and said that when he was in the bathroom, he heard someone stealing his stuff. However, this another Russian guy who was right infront of the door that time said he saw no one coming out from the room. The Russian guy found out that his toy boxes were ripped (2 years older than me). Then he ran out of his room and called everyone. He wanted someone to check his room Then, I stepped up and ran into the room and ran back though I was scared. We found out that no one was in the room or anywhere. Mysteries to be find................ that was my courageous moment.
