Homework 5: Month-In-Review

A Visit To the Different World

 At march of 2015, I watched a myriad of movies during my way home in the bus and the movies were The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Into the Woods, and Kingsman: Secret Service. The first movie I watched on my way home was The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which tells story about how a photofinisher named Walter Mitty, who is trying get himself out of boring everyday life, gets a chance to change his imagination into reality when he finds a picture for magazine's title is missing. My favorite part of this movie was when Walter rides a skateboard to go down a huge but beautiful, greenish mountain to reach where Sean O'Connell is, because the scene expressed what a freedom from repressed life really is and it really touched my heart. The second movie I watched was Into the Woods, which is a twist of fairy tale people usually heard of. I really 'loved' this movie despite of harsh criticism by audiences because the style-exaggeration, twist, vagueness of emotion- which furnished the whole movie was what I was in fond of. The last movie I watched in March was Kingsman: Secret Service which was about a underdog who is recruited into a secret agency which is established to keep the world safe. Although many of my acquaintances recommended me to watch this movie, I was disappointed at the film's proudly-presented action, violence, and especially disappointed at the story. These were the movies I watched during the March.

HOMEWORK 4: SETTING THE SCENE

It was early in the morning and there was a remaining of winter's breeze at candy-colored Fushumi Inari Temple. But there was never feeling of cold after watching bright-colored, flamed-red beautiful construction. Contrary to usual achromatic color used in Korean building, contrast of colors were explicit in the Japanese temple. White fox-shaped wood boards, which was written many people's wishes, was dangling, softly knocking each other, making deep sounds enough to be heard by anyone at place. Monks, who were wearing traditional dress as white as cloud, were performing a ritual by reading prayer and burning incense which smelled like pine.

HOMEWORK 3: ANECDOTE

Yi Hyung Wook 'Alice in Wonderland' 2014

 What I believe is quiet different from general thinking that beauty can be only found in Pyramid or Mississippi River. At Autumn of 2014, when spring just breezed in, I was in deep thought wondering why there isn't any happiness within my reach. On my way home, I noticed beautiful flowers glowing in the dark which gave me a moment to drag myself into a enlightenment that solved my agony; I never gave myself a chance to see what a real flowers look like. I took a picture of the flowers, which I never have done before, to sense what a feeling of flower is like, and from then on I am trying to see things larger by becoming smaller.

HOMEWORK 2: 5W/H

Who were you with?

I was with my parents and my older brother, Hyung-Il, at happening of sunset.

Where did you go?

My family and I went to the west of Kanghwado, which is an island located in Incheon.

When did you get there?

My family reached to the westernmost of Kanghwado at about 6 p.m. through the winding road, just before sunset.

What were you doing there?

My family and I went there to see the moment of sunset in order to make memories out of them.

Why did you go there?

My father insisted to make some reminiscence about family trip and all my family member agreed to my father's idea because my family didn't have enough time in former year due to my participation on national test.

How much time did it cost to get there?

 It took about 5 hours for my family to get to the westernmost of Kanghwado by car because of the long, winding road.
