Our Long Dream Became True!

By Hyun Seok Lee

February 24, 2013

        

Yesterday night, John Mef, the owner of MEF which is a company well-known with oil and biology, announced that eventually he just accomplished a sensational project that he has prepared for a long period since 1980. Following questions and responds are based on firm MEF.

          Then What was he’s long term project? It is was a plan to build a gigantic Jurrasic park. Soon it will be opened on May in Australia. MEF park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km²), which is also the biggest park across the globe.

         What about the dinosaurs? The researchers of MEF Corporation mentioned that all the dinosaurs are born by extracting DNA from the fossils from all around the world. For past 20 years, many researchers have stated that it was nearly impossible to rebuild the realm of dinosaurs since the process is way too complicated and the enormous fund is required.

         Is there any possibility that clients can get attacked by those dinosaurs? According to the person concerned with this park, they assure that it is even safer than an ordinary park zoo. All the dinosaurs are educated since they were babies and also all the clients are equipped with suits that have electronic current in it. So when ever dinosaurs tend to alter into aggressive position, the electronic works then shock the dinosaurs.

         What are a few guidelines to enjoy the park? Even it is optional to bring phone or not, however, it is always better turn off the phone. Because dinosaurs are educated to be aware of electricity, they might run away from you, which can also ruin other clients’ safety and enjoyment.

         How much it will cost to enjoy the amusement park? For adults who are over 18 years old should pay $150 and Less than 18 years old should pay $100 for a day. Also, disabled person is asked to pay only $10, which is tax.

         Steven Spielberg “ I can not believe that my dream came true, I appreciate John Mef’s effort to preserve the species”

Steve Hocking “First, I hope I can experience the fun before death. By the way, I only have to pay $10 right?”

Sam Neill(Acted main character in the movie Jurrasic park) “ No one has expected the movie Jurrasic park be realized in a real world”

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I am what you could call a “Third Culture Kid” (“TCK”).  This term refers to the kids from families that are neither rooted in the local culture nor completely identified with another dominant culture. TCKs are not fully engaged in any one culture because they keep moving around. The term applies to me perfectly because my father’s job required my family to live in many different countries. As a result, I had to face many challenges such as the fear of leaving my old friends, the loneliness of being an outsider in an unfamiliar setting, and the lingering homesickness for my hometown.  Still, the challenges I faced in many foreign countries were also opportunities to experience new things, learn diverse perspectives and achieve personal growth. Thus, I was fasinated by the programs that UCLA can offer to me. Especially, the part that dormitory is located in the heart of London was what I put the priority among all other Universities. Since London is a place where Architecture is well-known and there are my cousins living in it, it was the best place for me to study aborad and start my new career.

I have been preparing for myself to apply to such a wonderful university like UCLA. To be specific, I got above 100 on my Toefl exam, which proves my English proficency, and finished high school diploma including IB certificates. In addition, I got nearly 1800 on my SAT exam: 750 from math section which is one of the most important factors in Architecture. I have been studying the subjects that are relevant to Architecutre, which I like to study the most.

As I mentioned above, I have been moving around several countires since I was young. From this personal experience, I can strongly support that I have potent power corping with diverse cultures. This can help me easily to understand the diverse cultures that I will face in the future and  bring about the innovative constrution from my mind. I am the suitable person to fit in this program since I am looking forward to experience another cultures and now I am in Turkey, a place where it is not much far away from London. This background also assists me if I have an opportunitiy to begin the outset of university life in London.

Moving to many different countries gave me a broader perspective and allowed me to develop the ability to interact comfortably with all kinds of people regardless of race, religion, or language, which can play a significant role for me to fit in to UCLA London program. With these personal experience and ability to corp with a varitey of people, I can help bring about the real harmony of all international students who might join this program and raise the fame of this UCLA program in London the most among other universities’ programs.

 

Best regards,

Two kings for one nation?

 

Movie: Guanghae, a man who became a king(2012)

Main Casts: Beong Hyun Lee and Hyoju Han

Director: Changmin Chu

 

Have you ever imagined a king or a leader such as Hitler actually using a stand-in for his political affairs? In the movie, a King named KuangHae, who was the only misevaluated king in the Joseon Dynasty, the latest kingdom before Republic of Korea, uses an understudy for him for the sake of his assassination. This is not a whole interesting part of the movie. The understudy of a real king was a person from the bottom class. He does not know how to follow the manners and passes gas regardless of any places.

One day, a king get into a critical condition of illness due to assassination attempt from opponents. He needed time for recovery. As a result, Fake king replaces the real kings place for a while. However, it is not that easy to imitate a king, who nearly spent most of his life time educated to be polite and dignity.

In the movie, sound plays a significant role to make audience to stay focus on the scenes. Usually, most of fillms use modern sound or latest song in it, likewise, the movie plays songs not only modern music, but also traditional music. Since it is our traditional songs that are used to our ear, audiences are more likely to be indulged to the movie.

This film served as great entertainment with its colorful cast and numerous plot twists. Changmin Chu, who is a director of the movie, did not use the actors who are limited to a few typical roles. Beong Hyun Lee, who is a main character in the movie as a king, have not tried the historical drama or movie on his acting career. However, Mr. Chu targeted the point that audience would be curious about Beong Hyun Lee’s new acting in historical performance, and eventually I can strongly support that his marketing was amazing. Besides unexpected casting, there are many things that he did to make the movie success. Using an actor like Hyoju Han, who is a well-known actor in historical drama field, helped Beong Hyun Lee to be comfortable adapting to new conditions.

 

Despite the historical background and 140 minutes fairly long movie, Chu’s film not bored at all. I can strongly say that this film would be the best movie in 2012.

Write a story about your childhood

If someone asks me about my childhood, I would say it was pretty fun days. I have been to many places over the world and met  a number of people including my friends. I love people and having time with them. However, since I had to move to many countries due to my parents business conditions, I sometime feel very lonely. When I was 2 years old I went to Egypt and I lived for almost 5 years. Egypt was nice country except that some criminals can seen easily around the city. After my father’s expatriate period was over, I came back to my country and started to attend korean education system. As I mentioned above, I love to spend time with people that it was not that hard to be used to korean system. However, even though I had a fun time with my little friends, I always felt a sense of lonely. I thought this symptoms were just a rite of passage that most of youth pass through. As a result, actually it was more than adolescence. It placed inside of my mind somewhere and came out unexpectively. It is my still sole chronic disease. After few years in my country, I had to expatriate again to the United States. To me it was nice chance for me to challenge and experience other culture. However, in my mind I did not want to go to new place. I was sick of repetting same courses again such as getting used to new language and understanding the diffrent foreginers way of life. There was no choice for me to stay in Korea because I was too young to say  ‘let’s stay in Korea’. So I abroad to United States again and nearly spent two years from third grades to fifth grades, and eventually came back to Korea. The period when I came back from United States was the hardest time ever amony my lifetime. I started to see everything negative and did not listened to elders’ advice. I did not study and have not done any of homework of all clases. At that time, nothing came to me as a fun stuffs. However, the only breakthrough was my friends.  Depression was my nemesis. It tried to ruin my life. So the only way to overcome that hardship was to always think positively. For example, if teachers assigned bunch of homework then I thought like this ‘ They are same person and they know how it is painful for students to do homework, but those homeworks are needed for us and that is why teahcers give us that amount of homeworks. I am still against the teachers who assigned a lot of homeworks.  After few years of spending in Korea, I faced another challenge. My father’s company ordered him to expatriate because of business. So I came to Turkey.

Aunt Alexandra is very much an antagonist towards Scout as she tries to impose her own views on ladylikeness and acceptable behavior onto Scout, and she wants Scout to be grown as a submissive woman such as Southern classic woman. We can found many examples from the novel.

 For instance, one day scout visited Alexandra’s house with jeans, which was considered as a boyish thing at that time. After seeing Scout’s attire, she scolded at her to wear a cloth like a dress. She thought wearing clothes like jeans is damaging the prestige of Finch family.

 Also, in the novel, Alexandra does not approve of Miss Maudie, who is nearly considered as a parent to Scout and Jem, staying in Atticus family’s household. This shows the Alexandra is antagonist clearly because she does not think any thankful and benign feelings to Miss Maudie, who raised Atticus children for a long time. She is kind of person who is very traditional and force others to follow her way.

Another example is that Aunt Alexandra does not think Atticus, who is Scout’s father,  is not desirable parent. She disagrees with the fact that Atticus lets Calpurnia take the freedom in the house to discipline the kids and also that Atticus speaks about blacks in front of her. She wants Atticus to teach the kids about the reputation of their family.

Today is my first day of writing a diary. Becasue I am always alone and I needed someone or somewhere to let them know about my routine and my story.

Many people dislike me and they do not call my name correctly. My real name is Arthur Radley and I am son of Mr.Radley, but people call me Boo Radley instead. I have not known why town people called me like that. But, now I know because they consider me as a monster , or a scarious creatures that hard to imagine.

Two days before I am not sure, but I think two or three kids sneaked into our garden and tried to do something to our house. I just pretended like I was sleeping. They used a fishing rod made of bamboo and tied some letter to it. I still do not know how they got bomboo because it is hard to get it in our town. Anyway, I did not check or catch the fishing rod since they might get really scared because of me. So I maintained my silence.  Actually, I was quite curious about what they were doing and, and I was about to go out and ask them if there are anything wrong about us. However, they left the place quickly so there is noway for me to communicate with them. My brother Nathan did not know it was little kids’ action so he brought his gun and shot fire blanks. After he shot fire blanks he came to me and asked what I saw. But, I lied to him to make those young peers not be scolded by their parents. After that happened, I found a pair of pants on the ground. I quickly grabbed it before anyone see it and brought to my room. I did not understand why there was neat pair of pants, and I found that there were few holes in the trouser ripped by steel wire. I did not know, but I just felt like I had to sew a hole in the trouser.

I think it was the first time that some white people came to our house and gave a try to communicate with us. Those kids are really courageous fellows. In my mind, I felt something thank you for them. If I have a chance to be closer with them, I would do my best.

I can not understand what I did wrong to them. They called me as a hotnot. They thought they are superior than me and treated like a animal. I am glad that they did not kill me at least. I am sick of this community. I am a just a teacher and I have not done anything bad towards white coummunity. Also, they said they do not want any educated coloured man in their sociey. I thing this is because coloured people could get more power in the future by learning things. I knew that those four men would try to beat me up and make me afraid of them. I just did not want anything to happen to me. I followed what they told me to do. However,they started to strike me. I wanted to get out from that place and revenge to the white people who jeered at me. I did not need to wish to die and make the guy with the shotgun more angered. So I closed my mouth and did not relpy to their question. If I say I was not scary at those moments then that might be a lie. I do not remember whether I was shivering or not because of fear or cold. I was the only one that not warmly dressed. It is not the first time that white people have done this kinds of things to me. I already experienced this kind of several discrimination and violance. Few weeks ago, white men who were riding a car saw me and started to mock and hit me. I am sure that a world that coloured people get respect from other people will come someday. When I stared at the lantern, I felt something from it like a hope. I am a same man as white man. I am worried that this kind of violence would happen again, and if that happens there is no way for me to avoid from that situation. If there is a way then it might be bowing to them.
