BR 2-9: Audray Hepburn

"She had a small part in one more movie: she was an angel in Steven Spielberg's Always. Audrey's last words in the movie are, "Do things for others." "
(Chris, 2000, p.21)

This words are about Audrey's part of a movie. When she appeared on this movie, she also work for the United Nation. She visited the poorest and the most dangerous countries in the world. She was appointed to the UNICEF Good will Ambassador, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom which is Medal of America highest given to civilian. The words "Do things for others." is just right to her of that time.

I like Audrey Hepburn because she is not only work as a movie actress, but also work for poor people. She is a famous women in the world. When I have watched "Romen Holiday" at the first time, I thought she was so beautiful, but I din't know that she is devoted women for other people. She devoted most of her later life for the United Nation. In fact, she devorted for peace when she was a child. During the second world war, she invested her money which she secretly made by playing ballet for Dutch resistance. Her kind personality had been established since she was a child. I respect her.

BR 2-8: The Snow Queen

"She was a cold, hard queen with no love in her heart. Her face was cruel and she never, never smiled."
(Audrey, 2000, p.8)

This is a part of the story of the snow queen by grandmother of Gerda and Kay. She tells her grandchildren that the snow queen is horrible queen. Gerda and Kay are excited at the story.

The reason why I chose this book is I heared that a hit movie 'Frozen' is from this Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, so I was interested in this story. The character apply for the snow queen in 'Frozen' is Elsa. Elsa can put out snow from her hands, and the snow queen can, too. Elsa annoy her ability, because she wounded her sister 'Ana' when they are children. She doesn't want to wound any more people. She is so kind person. However, the snow queen is not like Elsa. She doesn't have love in her heart. There are some differences from Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale and arranged story.

BR 2-7: Gucci Business in Fashion

"In 1995, somebody shot Maurizio outside of his office.  He died that same day. For two years, detectives worked hard."
(Paola, 2000,p.12)

This is the scene Maurizio commanded the Gucci company at that time killed by someone. After, it tured out that his wife Patrizia had asked a mafia to kill gim for getting his big property.

I like Gucci, and I thought to want  to know Gucci's history, so I read this book. I didn't know there is such an accident. I had imagined fashion business is gentle, so I surprised. However, in spite of such accident, Gucci is loved by a lot of people around the world. The designers continue to charge, but they keep the power of Gucci. It's amazing.

BR 2-4: William and Kate

"It is not an easy life in the royal family, but perhaps this young couple can have a happy future together ー everybody hope so."
(Christine, 2013,p.40)

This words are stated at the end of this story by the author. Kate is pet name of Catherine. William and Kate are prince and princess of the U.K., and they got married in 2010. They birthed a boy named George in July 2013, but this story  ends with a scene they were married.

William grew up in the royal, but Kate is grew up in a general household. This case hasn't happened for 351 years. It is a love beyond the identification. I also think it is hard for a general woman to get marry royal man. Nevertheless, Kate welcomed by national of the U.K. because of her behaviors and fashion. Kate is the longing presence of not only British women but also women of all the around who want to be a princess.

BR 2-3: The OC

" 'In Chino, you don't have dreams,' said Ryan. 'Dreams don't come true.' "
(Josh, 2007,p.19)

This words are by Ryan who is hero of this story when he talks his lawyer Sandy. Ryan is a boy who is about seventeen years old and from Chino. He grows in complex and bad family. He comes to live Sandy's house in Orenge County. He becomes friend with Sandy's son Seth, falls in love Marissa who is neighbor of Sandy's house, and experiences things he has never seen there.

This story is a drama which broadcasted in the U.S. for teenagers. Marrisa and her friends are Aristocracy, Sandy's family is middle class, and Ryan hasn't money and family. Futhermore, there are scenes Ryan harassed by rich boys and girls. This is a love story, and also a story which thought-provoking us social problem, so I want not only teenagers but also adults to watch this story.
