The Land of Conjurors

If you'd like to ask me the appreciation of the music, I would tell you that it may have their unique style and creativity and the potential of unexpected amazement. That's very simple for what I say. So many times I found no examples in my experiences which I can elaborate my thought and idea. However, Wild Beasts has made it! I recommend that you listen to their new album in 2011, Smother. The uniqueness is the combination with indie rock and the vocal of a bit opera voice. Besides, the drumbeat shows a very emotional way because every time you listen to each song at first, the sound of drum seems to talk to you with a deeper and hidden communication with the audiences. And their compositions are all very original for uncovering the tiny creepy and distorted melody but leaving the graceful sound ultimately in the entirety. Weird. Perhaps to listen to their song personally and you'll understand. "Albatross" is very mysterious and poetic in my opinion. "Loop

Recently I've been gone through so many chaotic events, graduate school, oral presentation and other annoying stuffs. Sometimes I ponder the meaning so long but is hard or just close to the thesis, anyway, hope those annoyance all helps; otherwise, I've been wasting my time on doing them. Now I don't want to do anything busier or exhausting than before because I would like to take a short break this week though I still have three presentation waiting for me to accomplish this semester. But the weird thing comes up, Lucas wins my heart lately. I had not shown my concern about him since when? I just forgot... But this week, as I saw him yesterday and watched his way of talk and eyes, I became enamored with him during the class. Why do I always fall in love with the wrong person? I don't even know. But my thoughts and perception are the same as him, which I am pretty sure about that. Why does he look at me so naturally and spontaneously? Sometimes I think he might just own

After listening to the ghost, Hamlet found that his suspicion of his uncle is true for the ghost's words. And Hamlet's father actually is betrayed by his uncle, who sets him up by pouring the poison into his father's ears. Upon learning this, Hamlet also is betrayed by his mother lately who shows the affection and happiness with his uncle and is especially his dearest and nearest family. Therefore, it causes him to be hard to trust someone else even though Horatio and Marcellus are his scholar and soldier. However, he changes his mind later since he might think that they are not his mother but truly his good friends. He would like to give himself a chance to trust them again so he asks them to swear by his sword. And the voice of the ghost from the ground appears telling them to "swear." It makes Hamlet feels a great power protecting him from fear, which this power supports him in an unexpected moment. Later, he becomes fearless in showing what he has seen. As Ha

I've just finished my course of  Contemporary Novel by watching a film called Golden Gate . It's a very old film written by David Henry Huang and published in 1994. Huang is one of my favorite dramatists so far since one of his dramas, M. Butterfly, catches my eyes for its splendid plots in discussing the racial issue between the Occidental and the Oriental. Besides this, I've written my short research paper regarding to this drama. Today, nonetheless, Pro. Lin assists us with watching Golden Gates again for making sure that we understand the plot of its historical background and political factors of immigrant law for Chinese in America. But somehow I think the background of war history and law tend to be more difficult than the plot itself. What I remember is the point that the one has to make choices between the law of justice and how love brings back to justice. And Marilyn's image is sparked by Fa Mu Lan's spirit taken from Kingston's The Woman Warrior , &

In today's class, I think that Shakespeare presents different archetypes of women's image. In Hamlet , Ophelia tends to be more unsuspecting the fact that the words of intention expressed by Polonius and Lartes. She becomes weaker and hopeless while her father warns her against having affection with Hamlet. She tells Polonius "I do not know... what I should think." Also, she even tries to explain the truth from Hamlet's affection. Perhaps the audiences somehow perceive the flaw of Polonius despotically and of Lartes deliberately by their behavior and way of talk toward Ophelia. Nonetheless, these reasons somehow disclose her innocent and pure thoughts in terms of being loved romantically, and she is unaware of the condition of entire nation. And in The Merchant of Venice , Portia unfolds a female role embodying the beauty, wisdom, and reason. She aids Bassanio and Antonio in the urgent moment for supporting money and calculatedly solving the bond problem by secret

In the middle of night, A man in middle age cries for someone,  I was awaken by his shout, wondering to get up or... "What do you mean by this?! I didn't ask for it,"  Getting up is easy Without laziness "Am I stupid or am I proud?" But the most difficult thing is that  "I fear so many uncertainties lying upon my head." The HOURS after getting up "It could be better to die,  Or the other way to survive?" So I decide to listen to his bawl quietly. "... and keep narrowing my mind, yes, I can do that again. It's no problem I can do that again. Self-destruction, sounds a great idea, doesn't it? How could you treat me like this way? Or you want me to be an outsider, a numb person as you truly wish me to be." "So be it! Doesn't it the true reaction you expect from me?" Yeah, "so be it,"  Somehow the hot tears well-up in my eyes, and I don't know why til I get to
