Movie’s Summary

I have been watching a movie titled The Illusionist which starred by two American artists are Edward Nurton and Jessica Biel. The movie tells about an Illusionist named Eisenheim who has supernatural power and his childhood friend is called Sophie. There are many problems about their friendship because they had a far different social status. That the reason which made Sophie had to stayed away from Eisenheim.     

One day, they met in a Eisenheim’s magic show. Sophie had already grown into a mature girl and dignified high. Sophie was present as a candidate for the wife of a prince and came as a special guest in the Eisenheim’s magic show. They had not known each other. Many things happened after that day, Eisenheim and Sophie wanted to re-connect the story of their childhood that had long been lost. Many of the things they do to together start from opposing the prince. Top of this story in mind when Sophie is murdered,  Eisenheim cannot accept that. He did a magic show that is not usually by bringing some ghosts and interviewed them. It is disturbing someone who supports the prince's, head inspector. He was afraid that if Eisenheim could prove the prince was the really murder. Inspector cannot deny that in fact the prince was a killer. This story is very interesting because in the end we knew that Eisenheim was planed about everything which happened. The end of this movie tells that Eisenhein is a faker.

Moral Value   :

1. Realize that the property is not a distinction to be friends with anyone. 

When the prince killed Sophie, everyone is trying to find who the murderer is. Initially prince is always protected by the Inspector, but in the end the truth was revealed. Prince proved to be a murderer. His wealth does not mean anymore, that was looked when he decided to kill him sel.

2. We have to plans everything to run smoothly.

At the end of this movie, we know that everything which happened was planned by Eisenheim. He has designed everything in his life. So do us, if we want to make everything running smooth, we have to make plans and target.

3.  It’s better for us to be fair in deciding any case without discriminated the doers.

Everything was worst when Sophie was killed. In this situation Eisenheim has many facts that the murderer is The Prince. Virtually, Inspector is a good man but he has not had any audacity to prove it. He tries to protect the Prince but all of the proof direct to him. In the end, Inspector do his best job and it’s better than hold on his first argument.

When I Lost My Grandfather

Grandfather is a man who the most influential person without or with his candy bar for me. He was more than just my grandfather. He was also my best friend but I have to lose him. How a little girl could entertain someone who attacked by a vicious illness? Sing a song? Yes, that was the last moment that I can remember about my grandfather. I was standing at the door and look at him, his eyes gaze was dull and not focus. He called me slowly and I almost cannot hear what he said. I walked to him but the bed was too high than me so I decided to standing there for hours.

He wiped my head and whispered something in my ear; he wanted me to sing a song. I show a smile, and take a breath. I sing a song that I learn in my play ground. I sang that song loudly, I thought he disturbed. I did not care about that, I quiet saw his smile that the signs he was happy. I have done a song when he was laughing about something that I did not know. I looked at him; I saw his wrinkled skin become red in his big laugh. He holds me tight and requests another song. I sang for twice and he also finished with a laugh. I felt uncomforted about it. He stops laughing and pull me up to the bed. He told me that he was much appreciated when I was singing the first song so loud until I got hiccup for times.

As I a child there was no friend who fabulous than him, so I accompany him on his bed. I did not realize that I had the last conversation of words with my grandfather on his deathbed but I thought that the risks to be a friend with an old man who always bring some candy for me and my younger brother. I forgot about it for a while, I hugged and kiss his chick as usual as he did to me. He replied my arms until I could felt his smell. The smells of an old man are taking a lot of medicines. I got that was a terrible smell that I ever knew but I also did not want to detach my arms.

I was sleeping when my mother wake me up and carry me to another room. My mother cried and that the reason makes me frightened. She got a chair, and she sit on it. I ask her about my grandfather but she did not give me an answer. She stands up and starting makes a swing to make me sleep. She did it; I sleep and wake up in the morning as I remember. I got myself on my father in the morning. I want to go to my grandfather as usual; I always go around with him. My father said he was not with us anymore; he carried me to the car and go to my house.

In the house I saw there are many people that standing at my house. My father still carried me and he break through the people with really wet eyes. He leaved me and goes to a man who lying in the middle of living room. I look through the man, he is my grandfather. He was so fright and cannot smile anymore. I approached him and hold his hand. That was really cold and stiff. I tried to pitch his skin as strong as I can. He did not give replied to me. I go back to and hugged my father, which the moment he said my grandfather was passed away.

It has been thirteen years since my father passed away. He may be alive in another world and got happy but I still lost him. The only thing that I could promise is my sincerity. I will tried to do the best and he proud of me.

Soul Resonance

The God and The Barber

I am very surprisedwith the end of the story. That makes me know God is everywhere,everytime, and always care to us.

Sometimes people don’t  understand what the God wants, but people just think about what they want.

After I heard it, I wanna try to be a wise person. I will not search the God weakness anymore. I believe, if we think to be a better human, we’ll get it.

I am a student of English Department and it’s really usefull for my study, the story increases my responsibility to my God Allah swt.

Two Seeds

The conclusion of the story is what we think ,that what we do, that what we get, if we think something good, we will get  good thing and if we think something bad we will get bad thing. That’s all the power of think.

Sometimes I think about disturbance before I do something, thats makes me difficult to develop my self. After I heard it I’ll try to positive thinking to improve my self to be better than before.

A Crack Water Barrel

No body is perfect, no body gets what they want. If we could see and use our weaknessand make it to be our speciallity than others, that will make us to be a great person not only a perfect person.

Sometimes, I think “ How unlucky I am as a woman?”, that’s all because I know many weakness I have. After I hear the story I’ll use my weakness to be my speciallity. I think that’s a best way to be a graeat woman.

The Steps

Problems of Padang

Life in the Padang needs to be improved. There are too many cars and motorcycles but there aren’t enough police officers. Everyone wants to be the first on the way, that makes cars stuck in a region and makes too much noise and smog. Situation is bad especially during rush hour, we can’t move to other places because there’s too much traffic jam. We should wait for some minutes to pass from the situation. Besides that, the smog is really terrible especially in business district. We can’t breathe and get oxygen.

How to handle it ? I think we need more public transportation to decreace quantity of cars and motorcycle but it should be better and more comfortable than now. We have public transportation now but it is terrible and noisy. There should be more police officers to controll all of the public transportation, especially in business district. We need more modern traffic light to organize cars and motorcycles on the road. One more thing, we should have more parking area because there are too many cars park on the road, it’s really dangerous for pedestrians.

About Me

My name is Anna Kurnia and I’m a student at State University of Padang. I think, I’m not the one who sociable enough. I’m really hard to get some friends in short time. I want to be a social person and I think I have done it step by step.

Besides that, I’m also an easygoing person. I have good sense of humor. That’s make I often spent my time in joking and laughing with my friends. I never worry easily, especially with little problems.

In the other side I’m an reliable person. I always realize with my responsbility. I can’t do many things in same time but I will finished my responsibility one by one.
