BR 2-12: The Clever Woman

"Thank you so much for your help," he says. "Now I can sit down on the sofa and read. And I can relax for the very first time!" Linda McCormack smiles at him as he rides back home to read his book.
(Herbert, 2007, p.24)

This is the last scene of the book. Sean Murphy is a father. He wants to relax at home after his work, but there a lot of noise in his house by his family. He annoys that, and is reccomend to get advice from LInda McCormack by his friend. She advise him bring two chekens into his house, two gooses, and two goats. He confuses that, but does what she tells. However, there happens more noise in his house. He becomes not to be able to endure that, and visits her again. She advises him to return the animals to the hen house, the yard, and out of the house. His house is noisy yet by his family, but he don't omind it. At last, he can relax and read the book.

This is a story of a wit, and we can anticipate from the tittle. I could't come up with the way how to solve the problem as Sean Murphy, because his hous becomes more noisy gradually by her advice. However, she was thinktng it conversely, and solve the problem. I will also imagine worse situation,if I come across bad situations. She is indeedly a clever women. The stories of wittes such this story are like tonchi stories in Japan.

BR 2-11: Marcel and the Shakespeare Letter

'Marcel's a detective,' he thinks. 'It's going to OK. He knows his job. He does this every day. Yes . . . it's - going - to - be - O - K.'
(Stephen, 2000, p.12)

This is the words by Henry. This is a little adventure story by two mice. Marcel is a detective, and lives in Paris. Henry is his friend, and lives in London. Marcel visits Henry, and they find a woman who storen the Shakespeare letters from Henry's neighbor. They look for her, and find. This is the scene Henry walks behind Marcel, and closes to her bag. Henry tells himself that it' OK and believes Marcel because Marcel takes bold actions continuously.

I like Shakespeare. I chose this book, because I interested the content of the letter. However, this story doesn't tell the content of the letter. This story is different from my anticipate. This is adventure story by a detective. They are very smart mice. I thought they also storen the Shakspeare letters from their interests, but they return them to Henry's neighbor's house. They are good mice. I like this pictures better than the story. I like Peter Rabbit, and this pictures are like their pictures. Peter Rabbit is also a story in the U.K.

BR 2-10: Ugly Betty

But she is very old now and she thinks Betty is Rosa. 'You have always been in my heart,' Yolanda tells Betty. 'Go with Ignacio. Fight for the man you love.'
(Jane, 2009, p.38-39)

This words is by Betty's grand mother. Betty sees her grandmother for the first time at this scene. Betty wanted to meet and was looking for her grandmother because Betty didn't know her mother's family in Mexico. Betty accidentally arrives at her grandmother's house. Her grandmother can't hear because she is old, and she thinks Betty is her daughter by just looking. Then, Betty's father comes there, too, and the grandmother says this words to her daughter's husband and daughter. This is the scene that some kinds of Miracle happens at the same time.

I like this foreign TV drama,'Ugly Betty'. This is the most impressive scene in this first season for me. A lot of character appears in this drama. The main scenes is in Betty's office, but I like the scenes of her family better than Betty's office, because members of her family, Ignacio, Hilda, and Justin have tender heart. Her mother already past away. She wants to know about her mother's family, and asks her father Ignacio, but he tells her that she don't need to know that because her mother's family does't like him. but Betty looks for her mother's family and Ignacio chases her. At last, they meet Betty's mother and she admits her daughter's marriage and eloping to the U.S. while blurring. Betty's grandmother has been thinking about her every day. I think Ignacio is sinful man. What a kind scene!
