-Journal on Ursule Mirouet-

I think Ursule Mirouet was important to the characters. A special part of them were touched. The part of them were touched. The reason Four-Eyes may have gave them the book was because he was probably trying to show them that there are new living situations or new ideas they were not familiar with. It relates to the novel beacause both are realistic things thar people can relate to. ...falling headlong into a story of awakening desire, passion, impulsive action, love, of all the subjects that had, until then, been hidden from me."(57)

-Storytellers in the Modern World-

I do agree with the statement. Storytellers are sarce today. There were many storytellers years ago. Many, from my opinion, has lost interest in such. Technology was not as strong, popular, or useful in present days, as it is today. Many people would choose a computer over a book. From any culture, I think people have to be interested in reading or being a storyteller.

The King of Masks

I thought this movie, The King of Mask, was good. Some parts of the movie was sad.  I thought it was  amazing that grandpa ( the king of  mask) only wanted  a boy to help him. Even though the girl did everything he asked he still treated her with little respect. The girl Doggie gained love for him day by day and he still wanted what he thought was best. From my opinion, loving someone would be the right thing to do no matter what gender or race they are, because at the end he still ended up with her and he was happy with what he received in the beginning.
