War Horse Film Review

War Horse is a war-drama family film that is absolutely stunning. A masterpiece directed by Steven Spielberg, an academy award-winning director. This film is adapted from a novel with the same name by Michael Morpurgo, a rare tear-jerking film that turns amazing literature into screen with many emotional moments. This film tells a story about a young man, Albert Narracott played by Jeremy Irvine and his best pal Joey the horse. Joey and Albert share a very strong bond, from the day that Joey was born. But sadly they were separated by the World War I. Albert has a tense relationship with his father, Ted Narracott played by Peter Mullen. A drunk limping Boer War veteran.  The adventure starts in Devon, a beautiful town in England as the hometown of the Narracott family.

            In the year 1914 in Devon, the movie starts off with showing the birth of a horse that was secretly witnessed by Albert Narracott. The young man has felt a bond with the horse ever since. When he finds out that his father Ted Narracott came home with a horse that he witnessed at birth, he felt a surge of happiness. But his mother, Rosie Narracott played by Emily Watson disagrees.  However as time passes, Albert train the horse and call him Joey and the two become inseparable. He teaches Joey how to plough, an important ability that will save his life later. Sadly when the harvest fails, Ted Narracott sells Joey to the British Cavalry.  Will Joey survive the war? And will Joey and Albert reunite?

            The film cannot be this awesome with the work of the director alone. A lot of other people put their time and effort into making this film. The actors are dazzling. Their acting seems realistic and the chemistry between them seems so real. Surely they deserve a standing ovation. The music by John Williams is beautiful, it is a very important part of the movie. The songs express the feelings of the characters very well. The photography uses techniques and takes pictures from the right angle, low and high angles that make small animals like Harold look intimidating (low shot). They also use dolly, boom and many more. The setting was out-of-this-world. I felt like I went back in time and was standing in the war. The costumes are authentic. Johanna Johnston is impossible, let us take Rosie’s costume as an example, I actually thought Rosie have been wearing that costume for years! Because it looks like it is worn out and old. The special effects are astounding, Jeremy Irvine (Albert Narracott) said that in the set things actually explode and there are people thrown up into the sky.

            Overall I totally recommend this movie for you to watch together with your family. It is so far the best family movie with a war theme that I’ve watched. The movie was so emotional. It teaches us about war, friendship, bravery and love. I love the movie, one movie that is worth your time. You must watch this movie! You can’t miss it!

War Horse Summary ヽ(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)ﾉ

During our LB lesson we watched the movie War Horse. The really good. We finished the whole movie last week. And here is the summary of the movie that I watched. 

The movie started with a scene of Joey's birth. Joey is a colt bought by Albie's father, Ted Narracott, for 30 guineas. Albie loves Joey, he tamed him and train him to be a very good horse. Joey can plow but Albie can also ride him. The first problem occurs when Albie's dad need to pay rent to the landlord, Mr Lyons and his son David. But the money for rent was used to purchase Joey in an auction. So in order to pay the rent Albie and Joey plows a rocky field so they can sell the harvest, turnips, and pay the rent. The mom Rosie is very concerned, but she is willing to help and afterwards she took care of the bleeding Albie and Joey. In the barn Rosie explained about Ted's past life and why he drinks and limps. She gave Albie a sash from his dad's boer war. By the way in this part of the movie the Goose, Harold popped out in some parts of the scene. He gave a little touch of humor to the movie.

Sadly one day war broke between Germany and Hungary, the harvest fails and Ted Narracott is desperate for money. In the auction Joey met Topthorn, Major Jamie Stewart's horse. Ted sold Joey to captain Nicholls that is looking for a horse to ride during a war. The captain promised to return Joey back if he can. Albie gave a sash to Joey so he can identify him. Captain Nicholls died in the war, leaving a parcel for Albie. A sketch of Joey.

Joey was caught by the enemy's army. He was kept and used to pull the hospital carriage. The two boys that took care of him was Gunther and Michael. Michael was only 14 when he was forced to go to war. So Gunther, his older brother that promised his mom to keep Michael safe kidnapped Michael with two horses during his trip to the war. They hid in a windmill owned by Emilie and Grand pere. But Michael and Gunther ends up getting shot when they was caught running away and died. 

Soon, Emilie discovered the two horses in her windmill. She took care of them and called them Francois and Claude. Emilie has a disease which makes her bones rigid. She is also an orphan living with her grandpa because her parents died in a war. In this chapter of the movie Emilie's and her grandpa's farm was rummaged by the army and all their harvest was stolen.

One day when Emilie was riding the horse up a hill, an army was expecting her on the other side of the hill and took both of her horses away. Joey and Topthorn was then taken to Heiglmann the man that takes care of the horses during war. He really loves Joey and Topthorn. One important event that happened was when Joey replaced Topthorn's place pulling the artillery because Topthorn's leg was hurt.

On the other side of the war 4 years have passed and how Albie is already old enough to join war. He is taking part in the trench war fighting side by side with Andrew. He helped David when he was shot and took him to a safe place. By the time Albie successfully passed through the no man's land and get to the other side a gas bomb was thrown and Andrew died whilst Albie hurt his eyes and sent to the "hospital".

Meanwhile, Joey and Topthorn is getting tired pulling the artillery though the war. Topthorn became really tired so Heiglmann let him go for a second. But it turns out that he cant take it anymore. He lay down on the ground while Joey was staying by his side. But Heiglmann must go. Finally a tank crushed Topthorn and Joey ran away.

He ran all across the battle arena. Jumping over tanks, trenches and eventually got caught in a barbed wire. Collin and Peter helped him out of it and flipped a coin to find out who gets to keep him.

At last Joey went to the "hospital" he almost got shot but Albie was there blindfolded. He tried whistling turns out Joey still remember.  Albie describe Joey as having 4 socks and a mark on his forehead but is covered in mud. Because of that the doctor agrees to nurse him back to health.

By then the war ended, all the horses should be sold to auction. All the army collected money to buy Joey back. But they lose in the auction against Grand pere. He bought him for 1000 Guineas. At the end Joey doesn't want to leave Albie and Grand pere decided to return Joey to Albie because Emilie is already dead. At the ending Rosie, Ted, Albie and Joey is all back together at the farm living happily ever after...

Reflection on the Argumentative Essay and Debate Assessment \(^_^)/

During this unit, we get two different tasks to complete and submit. In which the scores are going to be used as the final assessment score for this unit. The first task is to make an argumentative essay based on the topic that we brainstormed. The second task is to do a debate on arguing whether globalization will lead to a better future or not.

Okay, so first I reflect on the first task that I completed. The task is to make an argumentative essay. We were given around 5 week to perfect the essay. I chose to make an essay about Child Labor because it is one of the most interesting topic for me. We studied about it in humanities class last year. First, I chose a topic. It was quite hard since none of the topic is exactly something that I am passionate about. But finally I chose the child labor one after changing topics around two times. Then I started making the thesis statement, I should research first beforehand because the child labor have a lot of factors that is very important. After forming my thesis statement, i send it to Miss H and she changed it slightly which I am very thankful about. I chose format B because I think it is the format that suits me best. I manage to complete my essay on time although I must admit I wasted a lot of time during class to research and redoing the paragraphs because I did not like it.

Maybe next time if I should make an essay again which I am very sure that i will make another one, I will not waste the time to research for too long but instead i should learn to perfect the essay. Another thing that I need to improve is my grammar which is very messy and also I should learn to make the essay more straightforward.

Now, the second assessment is debating, which is very fun, I guess.  I honestly kind of enjoyed the preparation part. I get the opposition group, disagreeing that globalization leads to a brighter future. My teammates were Vania, Sherissa, Atta and my self. We divided our jobs and did it together in the same file using google docs. We manage to finish everything very fast and we came up with very strong arguments. But on the d-day we all forgot to print our arguments. Only Vania did. I know right, ouch. At the end we kind of hand write everything on a piece of paper.

I think during my future debates I really need to be more careful, therefore not the same "tragedy" will happen all over again. I should really print the arguments the night before or maybe just print it immediately by the time I went home.


So... In order to make me feel better I decided to post a picture of my little pony right here..

That's the end of my reflection.. Bye-bye :)

Argumentative Essay on “Should the father of the 13 year old driver be blamed?” By: Joanne (9 Andes)

Indonesia is a country where children underage is often seen driving a vehicle, 10 year olds riding a motorcycle on a very busy road is something that we see everyday. Middle school children riding motorcycle to school and high school students driving a car to school. I truly doubt that they own their driving license. It might seem cool for them and their friends, but the consequences that they get are not worth it. Abdul Qodir Jaelani is son of a famous Indonesian rock star. He learnt that driving underage is not a good thing to do; he just received his consequence a few months ago. He killed 7 people on an accident he caused in the Jagorawi Highway, leaving the children of the victims that died orphaned and confused. But is it possible for a child underage to drive a car without the parent’s acknowledgement? It is not possible. Therefore I agree that the father of the 13-year-old Abdul Qodir Jaelani should be blamed.

People say that 13 years old is an age where a child starts to grow up. They are supposed to know right from wrong. Dul, as everyone calls him, is already old enough to realize that driving is not a right thing to do in his age. His mental is not yet stable enough to control when something suddenly happen. Just like in this accident he lost control of the car, his mind is not grown enough to make the right decision. He ends up crashing to the barrier and hit two cars, killing 7 adults in the process. Nonetheless, driving it not a small thing. It is not something that a child can hide from the parents. Especially considering the fact that Dhani, the father, provides a car for Dul himself. Although it is stated that he provides a driver as well, the driver went on holiday the day of the accident happen. And drivers must have asked their boss before going on a holiday. Seeing another fact that Al, Dul’s older brother, is allowed to drive by his father without a driving license. This shows the mindset of  Dhani that clearly supports his sons to drive underage.

The facts state that Dul ran away from his house to hang out with his friends although he was supposed to attend Judika’s wedding. For the whole time he turned off his cellphone, therefore he was unable to be contacted.  This fact is backed up by Dul’s girlfriend, Fajrina Khairiza. They hang out together with two other friends, Naufal and Diva. Naufal is badly injured because of the accident. While Diva and Arin (Dul's girlfriend) was already dropped in their own houses. However, as a parent Dhani should have taken more action towards this issue. He could have chased and picked Dul up in the mall or try contacting his friends and the parents of his friends. There is no reason for Dhani not to try preventing Dul from running away. Dul is very spoiled by Dhani, making Dul think that he can do anything he wants. Causing danger to his friends. And anyway, Dul is still 13 years old and is left to his father’s custody. Dhani is still fully responsible of Dul.

Dhani should have been more responsible of his son and his attitude. He should have not spoiled them too much and letting them live their luxury too much. Because once the wheel of life turns and they cannot afford the luxury anymore, they will have a hard time adjusting themselves. The life of freedom and spoilt have led Dul to a disastrous accident. Causing lives to fly and leave their vessels. If Dul is punished, he will be sent to jail. Jail is not a safe place grow up, with all the violence, bullying, and harassment that will happen everyday. Not to mention the lack of nutrition, education and proper place to sleep. All of this could have been prevented with a right moral education from the parents. In this case, Dhani, because of the divorce from his wife a few years back. The custody of their three sons were in his hands, making him responsible for all of them that is growing to adulthood right now. Being an adolescent is not an easy thing, parents are supposed to guide and help children to go to the right direction.

In conclusion, the father of Abdul Qodir Jaelani should be blamed. He is still fully responsible of the underage Dul that is under his custody. We cannot blame everything on the child because this will impact badly to the psychology of the child; since he did things that are taught by his father since he was young. His father is Ahmad Dhani, which should be blamed for this accident that killed 7 people.

Claim Report on Arthur Volupides’s Death (By: Vania, Atta, Debora, Joanne)

With this report, we claim that Queenie Volupidez is lying about the death of his husband, Arthur Volupidez on the 21st of November 1971. Arthur’s body was found in his house at 02:00 AM in the morning by our crime scene investigator team.

That day, we arrived at Queenie’s house at 2.00 AM in the morning. There was no paramedics or any ambulance.  We found Queenie  with her friends inside that house and Arthur’s dead body on the stairs. His position was lying on his back, face up.

Queenie said that she had a tiff with his husband Arthur. Because she was sick of it, she went to the Country club using a dress. Then she went home from the club around 12.50 am, she arrived at home around 5 minutes later. When Queenie arrived home,  she saw her husband Arthur is lying on the bottom of the stairs, dead. She was shocked. 10 minutes later, her friends came. Queenie said that Arthur slipped when he wanted to take another glass of alcohol.

The autopsy found that Arthur have a wound on his head. He must have fell hard from the stairs. It’s a little weird that there is no bleeding in his head. And he was fell downstairs, usually people fell down the stairs they only got bruised. The autopsy also found that he’d been drunk. This supports the fact that he is holding a glass on his left hand.

In the crime scene we found some evidences that points towards the other way. We are pretty convinced that Queenie is lying. Why? Because we found that Arthur’s clothes are not disheveled. Usually, when people fall downstairs, their clothes become disheveled. There’s nothing on the stairs. When someone slips on something, usually there is something to slip on. And the glass in Arthur’s left hand is not broken. As a rule, when people fall downstairs they drop what they are holding.

The evidences clearly does not support what Queenie said happened. In the crime scene, as what we’ve stated before. Because when someone slips, usually there is something to slip on. Meanwhile there is nothing on the stairs. Nothing wet or slimy that Arthur might have slipped on. Second, the fact that the glass on Arthur’s hand in still whole and not broken is weird. As a rule, when people fall downstairs they drop what they are holding in order to grasp something still that can stop them from falling. It is a human reflex. Another thing is that there was no paramedics on the spot. Normally if somebody found a dead body or someone injured in their house, people will immediately contact the paramedics. And the last, but the biggest question just yet. According to Queenie, Arthur is falling down the stairs, But if thats the case Arthur should have fallen leg first instead of head first like what we find at the crime scene.

The conclusion is that Arthur was tripped by Queenie. Queenie and Arthur had a tiff. They must have hate each other in that time. Queen was tired being Arthur’s wife. Her motive is that Queenie is so angry to Arthur until She really wanted to hurt Arthur. But Queenie has gone too far. From wanting to hurt Arthur so bad, she killed him. Queenie did not call any Ambulance or police. It only took like 3 minutes to dial 911 and ask for help. But Queenie waited for 10 minutes. She waited for her friends. What did she do in that 10 minutes? We think that in that 10 minutes she cleaned the crime scene and moved any evidence that she can found such as fingerprints, and also blood.

What I Have Learned About Blogging (-^〇^-)

To answer the unit question which is, “How can we use blogs to explore new ideas, opinions and interact with the world around us? “ I will write a post explaining my answer for that question.

Blogging is our second unit. In this unit we have learned many things. Starting from blogging guidelines, commenting and how to make a good blog. I enjoy this unit very much. Why? Because blogging teaches me much more behind the main things we are supposed to learn. It teaches me to be more open-minded and understand my friends a little bit more.

Blogging is a way for us to communicate with our friends and our blog visitors. In blogs we communicate with out visitors by interacting with then through our posts and comments. But remember, blog is accessible for everyone who has access to the World Wide Web. That I why we should be cautious and stay on the safe side to prevent unwanted things to happen. For example identity thefts, cyber bullying and many more.

How? By keeping our private information private. Do not share your address, phone number, home number or your last name. Just by doing this simple things you can be safe from bad things that people do through the internet.

I made sure that my private information was kept private. How about you? After making sure that you’ve done it, we can move on to the next thing. Let me explain about the templates of your blog. A blog is like a piece of artwork, full of pictures, writings and your feelings. Therefore you should make sure that it is a beautiful one.

We can do that by changing the templates into the ones that are more fancy and fun. As well as adding widgets and maybe a music bar on top or at the bottom of your blog. Besides of the template, the beauty of your blog is also expressed through your writings. That is why we write something that we are interested in. Why? Because usually if we write something that we like, we can actually wrote it full heartedly making the result much better. For example writing about you hobbies, likes or dislikes and maybe your positive experience. But remember to tell it using appropriate vocabulary because it is a school blog that can be read by the teachers and friends. Do not use profanities or offensive posts that can harass or bully others.

In order to make the post more alive as well as helping the readers understand more about the post I usually attach a media on my post. It can either be a picture or a video that is related with the post. And remember to keep your posts up to date with the most recent news or piece of information. Maybe you can share some knowledge like I did on my blog. I shared my knowledge on blogging templates.

Another thing, make sure you write something that everyone can understand and relate to. Therefore they can interact with you by relating to their own interest and experience. And they even might give you some additional information that you don’t know!

So overall, I enjoy blogging a lot. It is a lot of fun. I can express myself through my blog. As long as you stay on the safe side, there is no negative impact to express yourself and share your feelings or experience through your personal or school blog. Oh! And don't forget to give and accept feedbacks! :)

Trust

Trust is like a glass of white milk. Once you add a pinch of salt, it's not going to be as pure as it was before. It's up to you to give your glass of white milk to your friend. It's up to you as well to receive the glass of white milk from your friend. However, all it needs is a single drop of black. One lie, one disappointment. And that trust would break.

Trust is like a glass. Once it breaks it shatters on the floor, unable to be fixed. Even when you glue it to try to put the pieces back together, you can still see the cracks. It's up to you to give your rigid piece of glass to your friend and to receive one as well. But remember, don't let it fall.

Trust is like a piece of wood. Once you hammer a nail into it, it will stay there. Even though the nail comes out once you pull on it, it will leave a hole behind. It's up to you to give your piece of wood to your friend and receive one in return. But remember, keep your hammers and nails safely tucked away.

Trust is like silk. Beautiful and precious but soft and rigid at the same time. Trust is like gold, expensive but rare. It's like a knife. The one that you give to your friend and the one you get in return. It's our choice to either keep it or use it.

Once the glass of milk turns black, your piece of glass shatters and you have holes on your wood, just try to stay strong. Don't give your glass of black milk to anyone just yet, try to keep the pieces of your shattered glass so it doesn't hurt anyone around you and cover the holes on your wood with a smile plastered on your face.

Now you wait. Wait for someone that makes you a new glass of milk. Sweep away your shattered glass and give you a new one. And someone who can fill in the holes of your heart with happiness, joy, and love. Someone that deserves your trust. Be careful this time, some people will pretend when all they want is a VIP seat to watch you suffer.

Jakarta Cultural Parade ~(O.O)~

Hello readers! :) If you guys read my first post on 10 random facts about me, you guys will know that one of my hobby is dancing traditional dances. I know it might sound strange for a teenager to choose traditional dancing rather than modern hip-hop, but I have a reason behind all this.

My first point is that Indonesia is a very rich country with various traditional cultures. It is our job as Indonesia's next generation to keep this culture alive. Indonesia has a wide range of culture starting from cuisines, martial arts, paintings, puppet art, dancing, music and many more. As an individual, I chose to do my job as Indonesia's next generation to keep Indonesia's traditional dances alive.

Deep inside, I feel proud when dancing in front of my friends and families. Performing in big and small events to show everyone how rich Indonesia actually is. Helping them realize that Indonesia actually has what it takes to be known and heard by the world.

Enough on the introduction, my latest performance was during the Jakarta Cultural Parade. Basically this event was held last August with participants from 30 or more provinces in Indonesia as well as attendance from a couple of governmental businesses like Garuda Indonesia and PLN.

In this event, each province from Indonesia presented their own unique dance, clothes, and music. Jambi, one of Indonesia's province, recruited 100 dancers from Jakarta and 25 musicians from their own province.

I felt very lucky to be recruited as one of the dancers. The committee gave us 3 weeks to practice a dance routine involving 100 dancers dancing 6 different dance. The dance included an umbrella dance, a kentongan dance (a type of indonesian traditional bamboo musical instrument), an ambungan (weaved baskets) dance, a caping (weaved cap) dance, a rebana (a type of traditional indonesian percussion) dance and last but not least, the umbul-umbul (flag) dance. I was chosen as one of the ambungan dancers and was very proud of my part.

The music was played live which in return resulted the drainage of energy from the 6 meetings we attended. Why? Because as dancers, we have to be in sync with the music. The length of the dance,  including the entrance and exit, wasn't more than 2 minutes.

All of a sudden, it was the big day. On the 18th of August, we gathered at TMII (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah) to put on our make up and costume. By 9AM we arrived at Monas where all the groups from 30 provinces gather and compete against each other.

The route of our parade was to circle Monas. We walked in groups of the province. Each province would dance on 4 different spots including inside the president's house (Scream!), the city hall, and two spots in the middle of the parade.

Monas (National Monument)

The parade started at 10 in the morning but the province that I represented was number 28 on the list, making us wait another couple of hours to shine. By the time we performed and began our journey to circle the Monas area, it was already 2 PM.

The weather was not supportive at all. Right before the parade started it rained cats and dogs. But then as the parade started, the sun shone like there was no tomorrow! I felt like I was boiled that day, especially in my traditional Jambi clothing. Long sleeved blouse, long pants, long skirt and a meter long weaved basket on my head! 

But everything payed off. People enjoyed our performance and lots of foreigners asked for a picture or two. When my group was going through the street route, an American was dancing right beside us! Clapping and following anywhere we went for half an hour, dancing and enjoying the music.

We performed our routine in front of the president and his wife. I think he enjoyed it as much as we did, because we won fourth place! Isn't it awesome? I was very happy and my group was beyond happy. We danced our way through the end of the parade. 

After the parade ended, we said our goodbyes, thanked each other and wished good luck. We really hoped to meet each other again soon.

A Few Updates on My Blog ^.^

Hello there! Today I want to share about the updates I made on my blog. It includes a poll on "What is Your Favorite Color?" and a couple of widgets. The first widget is on my left sidebar. It shows a little cute kitten meow-ing. Isn't it cute? I personally think that the kitten is adorable, fluffy, cuddly and tiny! Sadly it's just a digital widget. I would love to have a kitten someday. Maybe soon!

My second widget is a wolf named Wags. He's a newcomer in my blog. Come scroll down and give him a little pat on the head. Maybe you can try moving your cursor around, he will be glad to chase that arrow! After running around, why don't you press on the moon and hear him howl? AOUUUUUUUUUU!

The third widget is a little bird on my right sidebar. She's the oldest virtual pet on the blog. The little banner under her feet will share a quote to you. Just wait and it will flip over to finish the quote. A bit of self esteem boost wouldn't hurt right?

The last update I made was on my favicon! What is a favicon? It's that little square image on top, left of the url box. When you visit my blog, you can see that my favicon is a little red rose that I absolutely love.

What do you think about the updates on my blog? Do you like it? If you don't, that's okay. I'd love to hear feedbacks from you to improve my blog! *\(~_~)/*

Piano Juggler ( ◔ิω◔ิ)

One time, I was watching a YouTube video compilation on "Awesome People" when I saw this jaw-dropping video of a man playing his keyboard by juggling 5 plastic balls on it. Can you imagine how mind-blowing that is? As he juggles, the plastic balls will hit a key on the keyboard and the faster he gets, the faster the song will be. If you don't believe me, watch him play with your own eyes!

Thank You!

Try This! (✿◖ ◡​◗)

A few weeks ago my friend introduced me to this very interesting website. It predicts how you'll look like 20-30 years from now! This web starts off by asking some basic questions that may affect the result later on. Then it will ask you to upload a close-up picture of yourself. Lastly, it uses face detection and morphing technology to predict how you'll look like 20 to 30 years from now. Isn't entertaining?

I've tried it and I find it really fun! Why don't you try it yourself and post the result in your own blog?
