my last blog


After I studied this course, i think i can get many things. The first thing i can get is knowledge. Because of this subject, i have a chance to see the American culture. It is very interesting. Some culture i do not know before but when i study this subject, i can gain more experience. The second thing is entertainment. Actually, i love to see a movie so the activities in this subject is not difficult to do. In fact, watching movie is very fun.


Another thing is i also think you are not old to teach. you are a good lecturer. you are very very kind to all students, i was very impressed. I think ABAC should have a good lecturer like you. This is also my last semester. After I graduated from ABAC, i will apply for flight attendant as it is my dream since i was young. Anyway, I will miss you and i really sorry that i did not attend the last class so that i missed a chance to take a photo with you. Good Luck Ajarn.

Proud


The movie" Proud" is a drama movie that shows the story of black men during world war 2. I think this movie is very boring. I feel sleepy as they didn't have exciting scene at all. Even though, the detail of movie is good. It is able to let me know about the situation in world war 2 and how black people is important. But the story run too long.

In this movie, Lorenzo is a hero. He helped to save the world but the country ignores him. He tells his grandson about his ship, the USS Mason. the vast majority of black men is a stewards or laboureres. The advanture begins as the men of Mason across to North Atlantic, battle German submarines and survive the " storm of the century". At the same time, the Mason crew have to fight with racism from individual sailors and from within Navy itself. But back to today, history has forgotten USS Mason. But the young men changed this, they help his friend to be award and make everyone remember Uss Mason.

Moreover, this movie is good to see for study the history of American during the Civil Right. But it doesn't good to see for fun since it's boring.

American Me


The movie" American Me" is a drama style movie which show American lifestyle in Civil Right. Some scene of this movie si very boring as they talked too much. Also, there are some scence of this movie that children should not as it is too violence. From this movie, i think life of American boy is lack of quality because they take a drug and do the bad thing. Actually, they should study and be a good children for their parents. Because of bad idol of adult, boys do something violence without gulity.

From the movie, a teen named Santana who form their own gang arrested for a break in. Santana gets into trouble and goes straight from reform school to prison, spending 18 years there. The life in the prison was very bad. They killed each ofter and there are many problem like rated R violence, nudity or profanity. Later, Santana becomes a leader of powerful gang. both inside and outside the prison. Everything become more and more violence so much so that Santana can't out of gang. Finally, he died because the other gang in the prison killed him. He has nothing in life except death and loneliness.

However, there are some moments of extreme violence, so it may not suitable for all people. i think the detail fo this movie is good. It is able to teach people that whatever bad thing you do , th bad thing will soon return to yourself.

Ku Klux Klan



KKK is the name of the fraternal organisation in U.S. These organization have often used terrorism and acts of cross burning to oppress African Americans. They also focused on intimidating "canetbaggers" and scalawags as on putting down the freed slaves. The second KKK has the main purposed to anti- catholicism, anti- communism, and anti-semitism. Its fell during the Great Depression and membership fell in world war 2.


Later, the name" Ku Klux Klan" has used by many different groups including many who opposed the "Civil Right Act". Today, it is estimated that there are up to 8000 members Klan in nationwide. These group are seperated in small local units and considered extreme hate group. The original Ku Klan Klan was created after the end of American Civil War. The Klan controlled the political and social status of the freed slaved. They focus mainly on African American.


The first Klan was never well organized. As a secret group, it had no membership, no newspapers, no spokesmen or no local officer. After that, President Ulysses S. Grant signed Butler's Legislation, the Ku Klux Klan act. However, it took several year for all Klan elements to be destroyed. Nowadays, the group only exists in the form of a number of isolated. Also, in 2006, a Ku Klux Klan group led an anti- migration march in Alabama. However, ACLU provided the legal support to the factions of KKK for their right to hold public rallies

Song " Don't khow why"


The song that i like most is Don't khow why from Norah Jones which is in the period of early Jazz. I also don't know why i like this song but when i heard it i feel very relax as the voice of Norah Jones is very smooth. I think is is a very good song. It's sound classic. Moreover, I like this sentence " My heart is drenched in wine. But you'll will be on mind forever". As it seen lonely but still romantic. even though, I'm not a big fan of Norah Jones but i like her singing style. It is very outstanding. She is a skillful singer. when i'm driving my car, I will have a good mood everytime when i heard her song, especially " Don't know why". Someone may say that her song is asleep. But for me, her song is very excellent.

Windtalkers


The movie"windtalkers" is a good movie that show American history in world war 2. I like this movie as it can make me enjoy. american are brave. Even though, white men did not like indian but when the enemy come, they are unity. They help each other, it make me very impressed. Also,american are wise. they use the indian code in war which was very amazing. No one can know the meaning of code so that Amerircan gained more advantage than Japanese. Moreovr, American are generosity. Although, they fight with japanese but when they met with japanese children, they help and give a medical if children hurted.

From this movie, Bez, indian who has duty as code talkers in war. He used Navajo language which the enemy did not know the meaning. Ox is also getting the new task to protect the Navajo codetalkers. As U.S government found that Navajo language can use as impossible to crack secret code. At first Bez and Ox seem not to get on well as Ox is not open mind. But Bez try to understand and has a good point of view to him. he has a clarify mind. when the enemy come, american can win because of codetalkers. It can help American a lot to destroy japan enemy. In the serious situation, Chales was catched by enemy in order to get the secret code. when Ox saw, he has to bomb both Chales and Japanese enemy as he has to protect the country. At first, Bez did not understand why Ox has to do but later he understand and become his best friend. However, American lost many people in this war but it is fortunately that the war is over.

In addition, i like their way to fight with Japan. it is very smart. This movie can help watchers to love their own country. it is a very good movie that teach us to help each other. Also, be nice with people from different culture and look people from their mind because that people could be our best friend in the future.

Crash Dive


The movie"Crash Dive" is the movie that can show aspect of American culture in world war 2. Even though, they may have some conflict but when they fight with enemy, they are unity. Also, i think American guys are romantic. In this movie, i like very much when Ward try to make Hewlett love him. If someone does this to me i would very happy.

From this movie, Ward who is an executive officer of the submarine spends his off duty time to meet with Hewlitt in New London. At first, he didn't know that Hewlitt is Conn's girlfriend. He fall in love and want to married with her. But in the world war period, country should come first. No matter how much he love Hewlett, he has to take a risk and fight with enemy. Conn has an excellent skill of fighting. He plans well organized. however, he can't do this without helping of Ward. He and Ward are the best friend. When Conn discovered that Ward and Hewlitt are love each other, there is tension between two men in secret mission. Ward offers to lend ashore and destroy the base . He accomplish the mission but Conn hurted from the explosion when he investigated. Finally, America win the war and Conn and Ward seem understand each other.

Nevertheless, I think this movie make me knows that the end of the war could be the beginning of life. They will have more time for love and thier family.
