Everyone knows his name

I like drawing a picture and I'm interested in art.
These days, I like Taro Okamoto. He is well known for "a tower of the Sun(太陽の塔）".
He is not rated highly as an artist, but he gets a lot of praises as a writer.
Last month, I bought his book"Have a poison in yourself(自分の中に毒を持て)".The ideas in this book were very novel and made me interested in his life.
I want to introduce some saying and ideas of him. But I don't know the translation is correct or not.


 He said "I don't care about how things come to an end. It makes your life glow to think a bad result is better and bet your life."and "It is stupid to give up your dream with a subtle thought of uncertainty. To be a real man is to put yourself into a bad situation, and fight against yourself and be the master of your own destiny. To give up your dream before you take actions is the proof that you lost your presence."

I was overwhelmed when I read this book for the first time. These ideas were completely new to me.
When he has no idea about which way he should go, he always takes a bad one. At any time, he put himself in danger and struggle hard as long as there is breath in his body.
This way of living is hard but stimulating and interesting. I always thought that the more effort you make, the better result you have. That is because I wanted to get a good result that is not a fake. But it was not a concern for him. Happy life is not necessarily a wonderful life. To live greedily means to live as a real man. It is important for him not to set a limit and to continue to make progress as a human being.


He also said "It is important to have an absolute pride, not a relative pride.You must have a pride against yourself. To have a pride against other people means that you think of yourself on the basis of them. That is not a real pride. Even if someone speak ill of you and call you a fool, feel that you are living your own life. That will be a real pride."

The word "absolute pride" is my favorite word. I often think that I am a inferior human being to my friends. And I feel disappointed. So, I struggle to be a superior person. But I can't be such a person. Then, I lose confidence in myself and feel loneliness. In the end, I have no idea about who I am.
So, this idea of him encouraged me. This gave me a way of positive thinking.


Also, I like these phrases,
" They are still eyes, even if you erase the eyes from the place where they should be. On the contrary, they become fake eyes and the presence of them stands out. The face that has no features gives me a stronger presence than the face that has a good appearance."
"It is uncertain whether you see the colors and shapes on a picture in the way that a lens of camera reflects an image of an object. You think that the objects that you see are real. But, you may see just what you want to see imaging them on your hart.

As you see, his ideas are creative. And they give you a new way of thinking that you have never thought of.
They stimulated me to live a human life.
I want to go ahead without losing my personality.

1.self-introduction

Hello! My name is Saki.
This is my first time to write a blog.
I am poor at writing a composition. So, I must make a lot of efforts to improve my skill of writing. I want to make use of this homework to achieve this aim.




I like playing the piano, listening to music, looking at pictures, reading books, taking a walk, sleeping and eating!
I like Disney movies. I especially like Toy Story series. The reason why I like it is that everything in these movies(songs, pictures, stories, and voices of actors)is attractive. I think that Toy Story series is greatest movies in Disney movies.
Toy Story 2 is known to the songs used in this movie. I like "Woody's Roundup". This song is cheerful and happy. This song always makes me pleased. Also, I like "When Somebody Loved Me". This song is emotional and beautiful. The voice of the singer brings me a feel of nostalgia.
I hope you will listen to these songs.
Toy Story 3 is known to the beauty of pictures. The progress of technology brought the reality of an image. Everything(toys, people, furniture, and scenery)looks real. The image of this movie is so real that we can read subtle changes of their emotions by watching faces of characters.
I am sad because Toy Story 3 is the final of this series. But, the way of ending this series is perfect, and I am happy.




I live in Tokyo. Everyone may think that Tokyo is gorgeous. But, the area where I live is the country. There are a lot of nature.
My house stands near a bank. And many cherry trees are planted. They are very beautiful. I always walk along this bank when I go to school. They make me feel refreshed and happy.
It takes me a lot of time to go to Sophia University. But, I am glad to live in this comfortable area. I want my friends of university to come to my house and look at this beautiful scenery.





I want to write about my family.

I have a big brother and a big sister. I am the youngest child.
His name is 雄大(yuta), her name is あすみ(asumi), and my name is 咲(saki). The structure of our names are different from each other. His name(雄大)consists of two Chinese characters. Her name(あすみ)consists of three hiragana. My name consists of a Chinese character. We don't share a common feature of a first name.

His hobby is driving a car, playing video games , and watching TV. Her hobby is reading comic books, PC,  and shopping. My hobby is playing the piano, listening to music, and drawing a picture. We don't share a common feature of hobby.

He likes eating chicken,pork, and beef.She likes eating cabbage, carrots,and eggplants. I like eating cakes,  cookies, and chocolates.
He majors in physical science. She majors in information science. I major in English literature.
He gets up early. She gets up lately.I get up at good time. , , ,

We don't share a common feature at all !

In fact, we are on bad terms with each other. In our childhood, we often had a quarrel. Even now, we sometimes have a quarrel. I assume that our bad terms are due to differences of our personality. We don't agree about everything because we don't share a common opinion.

But, the difference of personality sometimes brings a profit to us.
My brother, who are poor at putting my mother into a good mood, are good at driving. He often helps us go shopping.
My sister, who are poor at driving, are familiar with machinery. She often gives us some advice when home appliances are broken and we don't know what to do.
I, who know nothing about machinery, are good at putting my mother into a good mood.I often help him and her be on good terms with my mother.
The difference of personality makes our lives comfortable.
If there are a lot of people, there are a lot of personalities and opinions. That don't necessarily means that they don't agree about everything. It is possible for us t change the difference into a profit.
I hope that we(my brother,my sister and I)keep this good relationship forever.


I feel easy to make this first blog finished. But, I had difficulty in making compositions and it took me a lot of time to write a blog.
I want to be able to write good essays much faster!
