Treasure Island

     
      Jim is a kind and smart boy, interested in adventures and having great courage. He went on the adventure of searching for the treasure of Captain Flint after he found the map. The journey on the ship, working with John Silver, he had battle with the pirates to get the gold.

        I think that Jim is really brave to get on the journey without any family members or friends in trust. To be honest, though it was a map of Treasure Island, I won’t decide to find it. It may lose your life, maybe you can’t get back to your hometown, and watching the horizon on the deck with no food or any ship in sight till whole ship had no one survive.

        Maybe it is too lucky for us to live in the century with no war. We don’t have to worry if the pirates would attack the town or city in night. That might be the reason why people in nowadays are not that fond of finding treasures. But there are more adventures found through the space, jungles, Antarctica…. Some search for the mysterious in the ocean, new creatures, material under the ground, finding the changes of the climate, the earth. Adventures for students like us might be some healthy outside activities or things we usually experience every day.

The Secret Garden

Little Mary was a bad-tempered, and disagreeable child before she moved to England. She met the servant, the gardener, and met friends there. Realizing something warm between people, she became mature and thoughtful during playing outside in nature.

Breathing fresh air, running and sweating around made Mary change a lot as if by magic. Being rude to others or ignoring often hurt someone who really cares about you. At last, Colin had also changed by Mary's help. He was also a rude and disagreeable child as the same as Mary did before. But after he met Mary, they went to the secret garden which grows lots of beautiful flowers, creatures and warm sunshine. He recognize the meaning of life and stopped thinking negatively, he was suddenly full of courage and hope to face the illness. He bravely stood up and started have fun with his friends. Just like a healthy child as other ones.

I was so touched when I thought that Mary was just like those days I were still being naughty and rude to anyone in my casual life. How ashamed it is, now thinking about those insulting words and behavior. I'm really apologized to those teachers and my parents. After having some experiences, knowing what to do, searching for the target in one’s life....It would be great to have nothing worry about, and simply take a walk in the sunshine. Being close to nature is something I would like to do if there were no school and assignment occupying my time. 

With those pressure and stress, struggling for something ridiculous and unreasonable. Feeling painful and tired, I'd rather take a break for few minutes during a little walk in the park with nothing disturbing. Our mind had just been ruined by the reality after leaving our childhood. Now we were surrounded with plenty of books instead of nature. The magic of secret garden can also be used in our daily life. Think something positive instead of putting oneself in a illness situation, you may have your dream come true.
