Is Holiday Nostalgia Good for You?

     I think sometimes, nostalgia is good for me and sometimes, it isn't. When I have a festival in the United States, I will feel very delighted because I can experience different feeling. However, when I am in the celebration, I will miss my family,too. I really would like to share this special festival with them. I wanna be glad with them, but it is impossible. I just can talk to them by the Internet. 

     The other side, homesick can help me grow up because nobody can help me when I got in trouble. I need to solve them by myself. I can learn how to be independent and don't dependent on my parents. I hope when I come back to Taiwan, I can be a really adult.

Why We Feel Nostalgic During the Holidays

     I think everyone has nostalgic feeling in the life. Certainly, I am no exception. I feel homesick now because this is my first time to leave my country for a long time. I miss my family: my parents and my younger sister. I miss all Taiwanese food. I miss my good friends. I miss a lot and a lot. Sometimes, I feel lonely at night and I will go seeing my family's picture or use skype to keep in touch with them. I consider that those are great ways to help me feel comfortable.

P.S: My Japanese friends will go back in 20 days. I think I will miss them so much because this experience is pretty special and valuable. Keep in touch, please:)

"Christmas Story" still a hit with cable viewers

     When the movie "Christmas Story" broadcast on TV, the festival "Christmas" became more and more popular rapidly. This film attracted a lot of people to know what Christmas was. The media influenced the society a lot. Because of it, many people could realize and saw the movie easily as well as conveniently. Lots of people would like to play BB gun after seeing the film. Although BB gun was very dangerous, there were still many people wanting to buy it. We could see that the media control the society easily and soon.

A Christmas Story (1983)

     This article talked about the film "A Christmas Story." A child would like BB Gun as his Christmas present.The movie was not only about Christmas and BB guns, but also about childhood, and one detail after another rings true. I thought it was very interesting. I wished I could watch this movie right now.

     Christmas is very popular in the world. Every year, children look forward to get gifts from Santa Claus.   Each children think Santa Claus will climb the roof and put the gifts next to their bed. Although the Christmas story is fake, parents always be Santa Claus. They will buy presents for their children. I like Christmas very much. I think the festival is very special and touching. I like the Christmas feeling because the Christmas tree is so beautiful and pretty.

     

Real-life Groundhog Days studied       I thought deja vu was a kind of special feeling. Many people had the experience in their lives before. Sometimes, their heads would show a few parts of memory. They could not remember the impression clearly, but it seemed they knew something before. It was not disease or sickness.             However, sometimes, deja vu would make some trouble for people because wrong memory maybe led to wrong things happened. It was very dangerous. So, if you had deja vu, you must think clearly when you would like to use this idea to do something.

Groundhog Almighty

     T he movie "Groundhog" was so excited and weird. There were some new thoughts in this film. In the story, the major role, Phil, thought he always lived in the same day. He could know everything in that day, such as what things would happen later or what the people would do in certain time. It was very amazing and unbelievable. He felt very bored because of the regular day. Later, he tried to do something crazy like killing himself or robbing the money and so on, but the day always started again when the time was at 6:00 A.M.

     I could not imagine that I always lived in the same day like Phil. I considered that I would feel crazy and depressed because I could not get fresh things in my life. I lost my excitement for anything. Maybe, I would be like Phil that try to do some bad things. 

Mind Blowing Movies: Groundhog Day (1993), by Ruben Bolling

     

     This article talked about the movie's plots "Groundhog Day." I think the major role was very strange and weird, but I would like to watch this movie right away. I was very interested in this story, such as what the man would do or what the man would like to change and learn, etc because there were a lot of different kinds of ideas and thoughts I didn't think before in this movie. I hope I could think about that when I finished the movie. 

      The festival "Groundhog Day" was also exciting because my country didn't own this kind of celebration. It's unique in America. I wanted realize this special festival. Although I didn't know what the man did sometimes, I considered that there were some meanings inside. I hoped I could see this movie quickly and understood more when I watched it.
