The Challenger Disaster by Mary Jones

            By 1984, NASA, the United States space program, had carried out many successful flights of the space shuttle.  In fact, Americans were beginning to take the whole NASA program for granted.  Then, the president announced that the next shuttle would carry a school teacher into space.  Hundreds of teachers from all parts of the country applied for the job.  They all wanted to be “the first teacher in space.”  During the next year, these adventurous educators were tested and examined and trained.  At last, the choice was announced.  A teacher from New Hampshire, Christa MacAuliffe, would be the first teacher-astronaut.

Summary:  Christia MacAuliffe would be the first teacher carried into space by NASA.

            Many months of preparation and training followed the announcement.  First, Christa went through intensive physical training.  She had to be in top condition for the flight.  Then she learned how to operate some of the delicate instruments on the Challenger space shuttle.  Christa planned special lesions, which she would teach from space.  Finally, she trained with the astronauts, so they could work as a team in space.

Summary : Christia prepared herself to be ready for the flight to space with other
                    Challenger crew.

            Everyone knows what happened on that terrible day in January, 1986.  Early in the morning, the Challenger crew had a good breakfast and discussed their plans.  They made sure they understood all of the work they would be doing during the flight.  Later, they boarded a special  van, which carried them to the shuttle.  The weather was rather cold, and some NASA officials wondered if they should put off the flight.  After some discussion, they decided to go ahead.  The Challenger took off over the Atlantic Ocean in Florida.  Minutes later, it exploded in the air.  All the crew members died in the crash.

Summary : At 1986, the Challenger accident happened and killed all its crew members.

Movie Review : Assassination Classroom (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu) Live Action

Have you ever thinking to kill your homeroom teacher back then? Maybe this crazy fantasy flashed at least once in every junior high schooler's head. But, how about you got to kill your homeroom teacher to save the world? This movie brings up your crazy fantasy into real!

The story begins in 3-E class where the worst third year students of Kunugigaoka Junior High school been gathered. There, a yellow octopus-like creature suddenly shows up as their homeroom teacher. For your information, this yellow being with a smiley-face emoticon for a head is incredibly strong and fast and he is going to destroy the earth in one year unless someone can stop him. In effort to make things not one-sided, he makes a deal with the governments to teach 3-E class students and not kill them until they graduate. Because the army can do nothing about it, the government of Japan assigns the students of class E with a secret mission to assassinate the yellow creature known as Koro-sensei (from korosenai = unkillable and sensei = teacher).

As you can expect from a manga-to-movie adaptation, this movie compress about 75 manga chapters, or one full anime season, into 110 minutes. Due to this, most of the character introduction is skimmed over and only focused on the major characters. Some settings also have been changed and are different from the manga.

About the casting, this movie took an advantage by lining the cast with current Japan teens idols. The movie gave us almost the same character's psychological side but changed the character in more realistic looks.

The movie protagonist, Nagisa Shiota is played by Ryosuke Yamada. Although Yamada can draw more attention from the female audience, he actually acting differently compared to the original Nagisa from the manga. Here, Nagisa looks timid, innocent, and observant. In the original source, Nagisa's look is tightly connected with his background story. If there is a sequel, I like to see how they overcome this if they do.

The genius but violent character, Karma Akabane is played by Masaki Suda. Suda played well as the devilish Karma with his haughty character.

The class' sexy Russian assassin / English teacher, Irina Jelavic is played by Kang Ji-Young. Kang does a good job as the seductive temptress.

The most impressive is Anarashi Kazumiya as the mischievous but endearing Koro-sensei. With his talented vocal acting skills, Ninomiya brings this mischievous but endearing Koro-sensei to life through his iconic but crispy chuckle and wise advice.

I am really enjoying this movie. It is fun to watch the humor and got hit with its serious drama. The action scenes are not bad after all. The film director, Eiichiro Hasumi tried his best to hit as many plot points and stick close to the source material. Every scenes that involve Koro-sensei are entertaining, especially when he gives his iconic laughter. There are also moral values too like respecting each other, we can be better than other people thought about us, etc.

In the scale of 1 to 5, I will give this movie 3,4! Let's see what's other people think about this movie :

Writing Task 6 : Making Poster

Hello readers from everywhere!

I got another assignment from Mrs. Devi!  \ (^o^) / yeah!
This time, it is about making poster. A poster is meant to convey some important information to a large number of people. It is a means of advertising or publicizing something on a large scale. I think this can be our chance to show what is our passion in life. It will be fun to make a poster based on something that makes you interested.

Hold your horses guys! Before making a poster, here are some things to remember :

• It should be visually very attractive.
• A powerful message should be stated in only a few words. 
• The theme or the topic should be clear.
• A message of appeal, awareness, caution, warning should be clear and precise.
• The name of the organisation/individual issuing it should be mentioned.
• Any style or size of the letters can be used.
• An eye-catching title should be given.

Well, I tried to make a poster today. It is about The International Tiger Day. It is kinda late to make the poster, but still I want to tell people that we must protect the gift from our nature. So that our children can see it not from a book or replica.
