The Lottery


The Lottery is a short story made from 1948. The lottery story tells that a woman that win a lottery but the prize is a sudden death. Because of the sacrifice for the crops and the corn, because the corn will heavily grow in June 27. So that the story is likely a scary short story and it’s not make any sense with the lottery story and the lottery story is hard to understand for the first time. The first time I read the story I, wasn’t shocked anything because I didn’t understand anything about the story. Then when we discussed about the story and I carefully read and explained by ms. H I was shocked that Tessie is died because of the sudden death.

War Horse Movie Review

 War Horse is a movie based on the famous novel of the same name by Michael Morpurgo. War Horse is a dramatic historical movie directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie starring Jeremy Irvine in the role as Albert Narracott one of the main characters is a hardworking brave boy who forms a liflong friendship with his horse Joey. Ted Narracott, Albie's father played by Peter Mullan has a difficult relationship with his son and likes his drink. In the movie we can see that the setting is World War I in France. In the story the Germany come's to France to take over in World War I.

In a small town in the English country side young Albie witnesses the birth of a foal later named Joey. Joey is then sold at an auction in the village to Albie's father Ted. Ted Narracott brings the horse home and Albie is surprised and happy that Ted as bought the Horse. Albie gives the horse name Joey. Then he trains Joey and builds a strong bond with Joey. When it is announced that England is going to war Ted decides to sell Joey to Captain James Nicholls that a brave soldier with a high rank to pay his debts to Lyons the landlords. Albie is heartbroken and makes Joey a promise that no matter what he will find him. 

War Horse movie has a unique and good sound effects and costumes. The sound effects was made by Gary Rydstorm, who is famous sound designer and he has a total of 7 Oscars and 32 Nominations. The unique sound effects start from the galloping horse that was made from coins, the tank used from the old spinning lawn, whizzing bullets used form the ice skating shoes, artillery whistle, ground plowing and artillery loading. If the War Horse didn’t used ay sound effect it will be boring in the movie and people will be surprised if the movie used a sound effect using unique sounds. In the costume and props they are using a good stuff and big budget. The costume and props are designed by Joanna Johnston. In the movie we see that the actors used the same costume. When the rolled scenes in the same setting and when the actors and actress change setting they used a different costume. In costume they used a basic English military costume and a old skirts, old costume back in World War I. The props they used pistols for the Germans, machine guns for Germans to ambush the English military, swords for England military to ambush the Germans in France, artillery for the Germans to attack the France and plough for plowing the land. If the costume and props didn’t have a good stuff I think the movie will be confusing and the costume and props is the main stuff for movie. 


War Horse movie i recommend for every one. Because the movie is a good story and it has a good historical movie for kids and the drama it’s so touching for people. The message in the movie is, we a people must be balanced with the animal and people we can hurt animal because the animal is like a people and we can make a relationship with the animals.

Reflection Argumentative & Debate

So in this topic I learned 2 topics and it was fun. In the first topic I learned about the argumentative essay. I learned about:
1. Topic sentences
2. Format
3. Counter argument
4. Thesis Statement
5. Intro – Background
6. Reason
7. APA Style
So I learned about the argumentative essay from making the topic about the child who killed 7 people. Then I learned about the placed of the thesis statement and the format to write the argumentative essay. Then I got a assignment that is make the argumentative essay by own thesis statement. My thesis statement is” Selling gun in USA should be ban because to make a less crime and terrorism” Then I make the essay with the format Con’s, Con’s, Pro’s. My essay is bad because I didn’t put the thesis statement in the bottom of the introduction then my body paragraph is wrong. What did I do well? I did not much things in argumentative essay. I followed the format then I know how to make the good thesis statement. What do I need to work on? I need many improved to make a good argumentative essay like the body paragraph, I think I need to proof read’s the argumentative essay and make a good Body paragraph, then I need to improved my skill in making the APA style, then I need to make a good introduction because in my essay I didn’t put the thesis statement below.

In the Second topic I learned about the debate. I just learned the debate in grade 8. As you can see in debate I didn’t trust my gut’s to speak my  idea to debate it. Then in this classed I learned many thing to debate the write a good idea and speak more confidence. What did I do well? So I did many thing in debate. I got the good idea of the globalization then I know about the affirmative and the opposition. What do I need to work on? So I need to work on the rebuttal and I need to be confidence to talk my idea and I need to speak more about the debate.

Argumentative essay - accident Dul

            Abdul Qodir Jaelani  who is a 13 years old boy who killed 7 people in a car crashed. He drove a Mitsubishi EVO with his friend on 0045 from Bogor to Jakarta. He drove the car with himself without a driver. He is not responsible to his dad and he just got a car crashed in the toll and crashed to 2 cars and kill 7 people in KM 8. His father known as Ahmad Dahni had charged by the police for responsible for Dul reaction. Our group is disagree to the police that his father is not guilty for what his son reaction.
            First he is lie to his dad that he want to go to see a celebrity with his friend. But he and his friend went to Bogor with his girlfriend and his friend. He drove himself without his driver to the highway and he dismissed his driver to not get overtime. He drove in the highway with the speed 105,8 Km/hour. In the age of 13, in Indonesia the little kid not allowed to drive. Dul have a fake id and fake driving license. He drive in morning with his own car Mitsubishi EVO.
            The second evidence, he got a car crashed and involved 2 cars, Grandmax and Avanza carrying 13 people. He killed 7 people in the car crashed.  His injuries result that he got an broken leg in the right and he got a trauma. The people get injured that was 9 people in the hospital Cibubur.

            In my  conclusion, his father is not blamed for the car crashed but Dul should be blamed for all this action. But I feel his father had no intention to hurt these people and no capability to do so, unlikely son Dul.

Arthur Dead Case

Chief, an alleged accident had been reported by a one Queenie Volupides. We arrived on the scene at 0145, October 31st, 1971, approximately 45 minutes after the incident. We found 2 persons when we arrived at the crime scene. Queenie Volupides stood, screaming, above a deceased Arthur Volupides. Arthur Volupides was lying on his back, at the base of the stairs with his legs on the stairs. He had an empty glass in his left hand and the stove was on.
    The witness, Queenie Volupides, stated that Arthur Volupides had fallen down the stairs as he was looking for something to drink. The autopsy indicated that Arthur Volupides suffered from a severe head wound, and was indeed intoxicated.
    Queenie had invited some friends to her house beforehand. They arrived at 0110. They said her exact words were, “Something terrible happened. Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs. He was coming down for another drink - he still had the glass in his hand - and I think he’s dead. Oh, my God - What shall i do?”
    The whole story goes that Arthur Volupides and Queenie Volupides had gotten into an argument. She left the house and went to the closest country club. At about 0050, she went home, also inviting some friends. The exact amount is unknown.
Judging by the evidence we have gathered, we have found several inconsistencies with her story. First, Arthur was on his back with his face aiming up. As a rule, when most people fall down stairs, they fall face first with their torso aiming towards the ground. Secondly, Queenie Volupides had not called for emergency responders. As a rule, when most people see injured or wounded people, they usually call emergency responders. Even more so that Arthur Volupides is Queenie Volupides’ husband.
Third, the carpet on the stairs was too neat. As a rule, when people fall down stairs, the carpet is usually loosened. The carpet at the time looked untouched and neat. Fourth, the glass in his hand was completely undamaged. As a rule, when people fall, they usually release objects from their hands to to break their fall with their arms. The exception to this is when they are holding something valuable in their hands, and would rather get wounded then let the object get damaged.
This is the evidence we have gathered. The final decision is up to you chief. From what we gathered, we do have a recommendation of action. We suspect that Queenie Volupides is not telling the whole story or the truth in general. An investigation into her and the incident might be in order.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speculation: Arthur was intoxicated on his own accord after the fight with his wife. Judging by her desire to invite friends over at 0100 to have a drink, she did not love her husband. Due to this, she wanted to rid herself of him to continue her affairs with others. So she killed him and planted evidence.

What I’ve learned


In this post I have learned in blog. So the question is “How can we use blogs to explore new idea, opinions and interact with the world around us?” So blogs from my based opinion is the blog that we can make us to shared or get a information from other and we can make a content become customized the layout or the font or the template to make many follower. In blogs we can shared an idea, tips, experienced, news, media, tricks to make the life easier, opinions and something like that. The main idea for blog is to comment to each other because the comment is to make a connection or making a interaction to each other so e can know about them and we can become a friend. The point to make the comment good is make a question in the end, proofread before you comment it and we  might give them a feed back to make the conversation long and we can respect to the owner that has post the content and we might not comment with a bad language. So in blog we cannot put some privacy in the blog like number, where you live, real name and everything that related to privacy or someone might copy our privacy.
