A meal

I went to Boston for the break and there was one meal that I cannot forget. It was a city had many great sea food and the restaurant called legal seafood was good. I went there and ordered crab cake combo with salad, scallop, shrimp and crab cake.

It was nice with the color of green salad, red shrimp, yellow crab cake and  white scallop. The color of the meal was so attractive that easily make people wanted to eat it. Then, I used my fork to get the food and smell it. I thought I smelled the feeling of the ocean, with the fresh sense of food. I ate the crab cake and found the special sauce made it different from the crab cake people usually eat and it gave me some new sense. For the other thing, I thought the cook just boil the scallop and shrimp and left all the sense of the sea to us.  The cook didn't use any strange spices to destiny the natural taste of the food.

Over all, it was a great meal that brought me lots of fun, I would go to have that again for the next time I go to Boston.

Sound map

I was right in my room and tried to listen all the sound in that hour. First of all, I heard the sound of water. It should come from the restroom right in front of my room. People usually go to take bath really early then they don’t need to battle for the using of bathroom.

Then, I heard the air conditioner on the wall at the left of my desk. I don’t think I need that today because the weather was so warm. In the meantime, I heard the wind that blew my window because the window was opened. As a result, some fresh and cool air would come and make me feel better in this dry place.

On the other hand, I heard a bark from a dog. There are only two dogs in our dormitory, and they belonged to Ms. Simon and Ms. Anderson. However, Ms. Anderson was downstairs in the basement. Thus, I thought the bark was from Ms. Simon’s room. I was right because I found that someone lived near my room close the door and the bark disappear.

I heard people running and walking around the hallway because most of them came back school today. They should be really busy to talk to friends they hadn’t seen these days and clean their rooms.

Everything sounded nice in this hour and there were many other sounds I didn’t mentioned but they are still great. I wish people would always be really careful to find the beauty in our lives.

7. Right Where You Are Sitting:

I’m sitting in my room right now and trying to observe stuffs on my desk.

Actually, the first thing that catches my attention is just the desk. I never look at it as carefully as I do today. I see that there is a big gap between the main part of the desk and the bookshelf on my desk. I usually think they are one whole thing but I find I have had some wrong ideas for a long time. Then, I think I’m really lucky to find it because one side of my shelf is already totally leaves the working range of my desk. So I stand up really fast to adjust it. I’m so glad that I do this work or my things would all fell down. Then, I’m sure that I would do this kind of observation for many times later.

On the other hand, the other thing that I find out about the desk is not that dramatically. I found there are some small cracks and holes on my desk and it’s not that smooth as what I think it is before. I find that it’s not that stable as the thinking in my mind usually. Also, I think I should be a better owner than I usually do.

To conclude, I think I need to always look around my room carefully because I’m not good enough to perfectly make my stuffs in the right place. Meanwhile, I think I need to be a better owner and really take care of what I owned.

One Thing:

On my desk in the dorm, there is a ceramic cup. I bought it one year ago when I started my life at Cheshire Academy and I usually use it to drink water and make some hot drinks. It’s really warm when I pour some hot water inside the cup and it gave me plenty of warmness in the freezing winter here.

The cup showed people the sense of autumn. There is a handle on one side of the cup and it was red on the top, just as similar as the color of the dead leaves in every autumn. The color of the bottom of the handle is yellowish green, like the dying leaves. It showed a change of color and lives on the handle of the cup.

Then, the body of the cup is white; with a really light yellow reflect inside. There are two pieces of leaves, one faced up when one faced down, in two opposite side of the cup. Both of them have a color change from dead leaves’ red and yellowish green on the body of the leaves. Also, I can easily see the vein of the leaves and even touch them because the cup maker made the leaves like sculpture that paste on the cup. They are really smooth. For the one faced up, I can see the last beauty of a dying creature. For the one faced down, it made me to think of the leaves in the backfield of the campus, they are extremely beautiful and enthusiastic.

Lastly, I would still use this cup for a long time and I’m so warm with it.

The story below the truth

When do people know the information of astronomy? For me, it’s many years ago, even before I went to elementary school. However, it took thousands of year to make human know the truth of the galaxy. Galileo was the first person to point the Earth is not the center of the universe to the ignorant people that time. The fall production of Galileo, which was written by the famous playwright Brecht, was talking about the life of Galileo.

According to the play, Galileo discovered the use of telescope and found out that the Earth is not the center of the universe; the Earth was just going around the Sun. Actually, it wasn’t that easy to make people, who believed in God, to believe him as well. His discovery was kind of against theories that the pope’s saying. The Earth is not the center of the universe meant that there’s no reason to stand why it’s the God created the world. It was totally against the rule of the church and even his friends cannot really support him. Lastly, he surrendered himself to the power of the church and admitted that he was wrong. According all, it’s a sad story showed that it was not that easy for people to admit the truth.

I like this play because I really like the way that it showed people’s change from the start of the story to the end. In the first few scenes of the play, when his friend thought it was too dangerous to say something against all theories in thousands of years, Galileo was saying it’s not difficult for people to get the truth, but when they saw the truth they would lastly support his idea. He was clever and proud of what he has found. Then, he thought there’s nothing can stop him to tell people the truth. However, at the end of the story, the power of the church stroke him and made he noticed the truth wasn’t the most important thing but the power. He changed a lot, and he was decadent and lost in the end. The characteristic of Galileo was changing in a excellent way and make me to have plenty of thinking. It made the story has been told in a truly attractive way.

However, I think the play was too difficult for people to understand. I’m a international student, and the play used too many difficult language which are even a lot for English country students. So, it made me feel unsatisfied with understanding the details of the story. Even though it’s not that hard to understand the story line, I cannot understand all the points it showed from the play. So, I wish it can be simpler next time and then I can understand the ideas better.

Over all, I think it’s a good play to tell the story under the truth that even a little child would know these day. Also, I highly recommend people to watch this play with the interesting plot and great acting of actors.
