わたしと小鳥とすずと

わたしが両手をひろげても、
お空はちっともとべないが、
とべる小鳥はわたしのように、
地面(じべた)をはやくは走れない。

わたしがからだをゆすっても、
きれいな音はでないけど、
あの鳴るすずはわたしのように
たくさんのうたは知らないよ。

すずと、小鳥と、それからわたし、
みんなちがって、みんないい。

Practice Teaching

Since June 14th to July 3rd, my sister had went to a junior high school to do practice teaching, her subject was Japanese(it is the exact opposite of me, because my subject is English!!!) During the practice teaching, she had always done her work at home, for example she typed the class paper and she wrote an aim of sports festival... Therefore, there are some days which she had no sleeping time!!! Fortunately, the junior high school and my house is very near!!! About 3 minute ;-) Therefore, there was not long time to commute. Now, I took some teaching classes(教職) and I will welcome these days!!! I feel uneasy about practice teaching, but when I saw her practice teaching, I thought a practice teaching was not bad... Now, I look forward to doing it :-)

2) RESPONDING TO THE PLOT e) Which incidents in the novel did you find wonderful, surprising, comical, or even shocking?
I like the part best when Kathy got her sight. She could not see every thing from she was born. When she got her sight, her sight would change and she could enjoy seeing every thing, for example she looked many face of her friends or she watched TV, and she bought a lot of colorful clothes… I think these act give her a lot of pleasure which she had never experienced. Therefore, when I read the part, I felt happy.

Setting: USA, the time is not written
Point of View: This story is told from the third person.
Conflict: Kathy got ability of seeing but once she got her sight, she lost her great sense of hearing.
Climax: When she did an interview she would cover her eyes with a scarf. Therefore, she recovered her originally ability of hearing.
Symbol: “Sight” is the symbol of the story. A heroin Kathy had been blinded at birth, but the luck of sight gave her a great sense of hearing. Then, she got her sight, she lost the sensitive ear. Therefore, her sight is the key in this book.
Irony: When she got sight, she lost the great ability of hearing. Once she got ability, she lost the other ability. Therefore, it was irony.
Theme: The theme of this book is the importance of as person is and the importance of hewing out his or her future. There is good thing at the present condition, but at the same time, there is also good thing in the carving out a future. Therefore, people should value the present condition and they should do for their future.

3) ANALYZING 7 LITERARY TERMS

 Acupuncture noun a Chinese method of treating pain and illness using special thin needle which are pushed into the skin in particular parts of the body

4) REFLECTION ON THE STORY: i ) Have you changed your ideas about anything after reading this book?
Yes, my ideas about blindness changed. In Open Doors, a woman whose name is Kathy Page is heroin, she had been blinded at birth. However, she serves as a radio announcer. She is better to listening and she asks the guests for her doubt. The question is the secret or lie of the guest. Therefore, she is loved by every listener. When she was operated for her eyes, she got sight, but at the same time she lost the sharp sense of hearing. After all, when she is doing interview, she decided to cover her eyes with scarf. Therefore, she got back her great sense of listening. The luck gives person for a ability, so the luck is not only minus point, I think!

Voice


He is a Japanese actor, Masaharu Hukuyama. At the same time, he is a singer. His figure is cool and his voice is also cool and sexy. Now, he acts Ryoma Sakamoto, who is a samurai at Edo period, and he is gathered a lot of popularity. I think there is a character to his singing. However, if you listen to his songs many times, you may like his characteristic songs ;-)
