Female Hero

  My female hero will be a super independent girl. The super girl would not need any helps from man. I’ve seen a lot that women are always under too much men’s care in tv shows or movies, even they wanted it. 
  
  I always was wondering why tv shows or films cannot be made the character of women to be independent, and why men say women should not be allowed to do so when women want to be an independent girl.   

  When I was a child, my mom always said “be an independent girl”, “do not be controlled by guys”, and my mom treated me like my older brother so I did not feel any unfair between me and my brother. Because of my mom, I became the girl who can claim my rights. 

 To sum up, my female hero are not just “ I hate men, the world can be dominated under the women”. She can assert her right confidently from any absurdity.

True Grit



  I became the fan of Mattie. Mattie left her house to find Tom Chaney who murders her father, and She disposes of a murdered father’s body by herself and then, with a keepsake from her father, make a deal with  Col. Stonehill. What a brave girl, can a girl who is only 14-year-old leaves home for her father's revenge?. 
  
  She hired Rooster Cogburn to help her to catch Chaney and avenge her father. LaBoeuf who named Texas Ranger is also tracking Chaney for reasons of his own. Together The improbable team ventured into an adverse area to allocate Old West justice.

  In the movie, the life of people is showing to what a "western" might be. They worn kind of brown big coat with a fedora and they always ride a horse in order to move to another city. The background is really interesting me, there were no pavement and covered with mountains. It was reflected well what I thought about western.

Pride and Prejudice


  I haven't been interested in this novel because it might be a romance novel, and this novel is just a love affair with the rich man and a common woman. After I read it, this was not a romance novel. It was totally my ‘prejudice’. 
Pride and Prejudice was a social novel that shows various ways of settling down in marriage.

  Let me talk about Elizabeth and Darcy. Elizabeth did not have good first impression for Darcy because Darcy is rich guy who does not need to make a money, and his family look down on Elizabeth’s family for lower in rank than they are, moreover he interrupt marriage of her sister and Bingley, and It was misunderstanding, she heard that he abandoned Wickham in the past. These reasons made Elizabeth get prejudice “he is a very arrogant person.”

  At the end of story, they acknowledged their lack of respect each other, and solved the misunderstanding between them through conversations, and they got married right after clarified problems. Their marriage was beautiful even they did not meet often, it was well-organized.


  I was also interested in women’s life by reading pride and prejudice. I thought that at that time, women’s life was much different those of now, but the women who did not get married yet, there was nothing special to do in their life. They just hang out with their cousins, building up knowledge of art, and going to party. I was surprised that or I way expected that.
