Is Holiday Nostalgia Good for You?

    When we live without family, we will miss them further. This year I came to America for 9 months. Whenever I meet a big holiday, I always think what they are doing now. I want to celebrate with my dearest family. I have learned to cherish them this time. I will be a good daughter and sister when I come back.

    It is not bad when you have strong nostalgia. Although it is hard when you miss them so much, you will improve your attitude being better to them. It means you are growing. I hope I can grow up when I come back to Taiwan!

Why We Feel Nostalgic During the Holidays

    Nostalgia is a kind of homesickness. I have nostalgia a lot when I come to America. I miss my country very much. It is not a good feeling. When I meet a big festival, I was thinking of my family. This is my first time away from home for 9 months. It's a long time. I really miss them.  I want to go back to Taiwan now!!!!

"Christmas Story" still a hit with cable viewers

    After "A Christmas Story" movie, it attracts lots of people. Christmas becomes very popular in the USA. Many youngster in 1940s Indiana were revolved by the story. They all want a BB gun for Christmas although it is dangerous.

    After reading the article, we can see how media influences the society. It becomes popular very soon by media. We still can get many information by media.

A Christmas Story (1983)

   After reading the article, I cannot wait to see this movie. It looks interesting. A child of the movie gets lots of problem. He wants a BB gun as a Christmas gift.

    I like Christmas very much. Every children imagine Santa Clause will  come to their home by climbing the roof and put the gift into Christmas Sock during children are falling asleep. How a cute story! It is a fake story, but some parents will still pretend they are Santa Clauses and give their children gifts.

    This year I can celebrate Christmas in the USA. Will I see lots of Santa Clauses on the street? Maybe it will be very different as Taiwan!!!

Real-life Groundhog Days studied

    This article was talking about the deja vu. It is a faulty memory. It's an illusion that you thought you have experienced but you don't actually. It could cause problems.



    Everyone has deja vu. It depends on personality.  It is easy to get deja vu. Like if you hurt your head or get some chronic pain. It is amazing sometimes.



    Don't be worry about it. It is not a big deal. Just renew your memory and remember everything.

Groundhog Almighty

    This article was talking about how different religion think about Groundhog Day. In this movie, Phil lived the same day in a time circle, just like he lived in a samsara. It's from buddhist. He was tired of living in the same day. He always knew what would happen in that day. He could do everything he wanted. He had tried to suiside for many times but it never success. He still lived on February 2 the next day.

    If I were Phil and I always lived in the same day, I would get very crazy. I cannot enjoy the rest of my life. I don't want to live in the same day although I can do anything I want. It is boring. Only you know what is happened. People don't believe you. You will feel hopeless because you cannot escape this circle.

    I enjoy the movie very much. It is really funny!

Mind Blowing Movies: Groundhog Day (1993), by Ruben Bolling

    After reading this article, I have lots of interest in this movie. It describes Groundhog Day movie a lot. I believe I will get more information about Groundhog Day from this movie. Groundhog Day is unique because our country does not have this festival. We never see groundhogs in our country. I think I will be very excited when I see groundhogs.


    I can not wait to see this movie!!!!!!!! It seems very funny!!!!!!

Groundhog Day

    This is a movie about a weather man. He lived the same day. He thought Groundhog Day is ridiculous. However, he fell in love with Rita. He realized that he did not just love her appearance but also her personality. Because he became a good man.

    I got lots of information about Groundhog Day from this article. It is a celebration about a groundhog can predict the weather. A groundhog comes out his hole and if he sees his shadow, it means there will be six more weeks in winter. It is on February 2. People get together and eat food. If I have a chance, I will join the celebration.

Anatomy of a Panic

    This article is too hard to understand. It describes how media influence the society. Media usually has huge power to let people believe.

    We cannot live without media, but we cannot depend on it. Although it is important, the news or information are not completely true.


   The result of this article shows that a minor panic in the City of Brotherly Love, jammed switchboards, perspiring cops, an editorial rebuke from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The War of The Worlds Broadcast

    People should take their responsibility for what they broadcast. No matter a person who works as a reporter  or a speaker in a radio should broadcast something with enough evidences. They can't make fake news. They should not make people be panic.

    When a group of people were panic, they would cause many problems because they were afraid. This is not unnecessary. It is stupid. So people should have responsibility to broadcast true news.

    If there were many problems because of fake news, it was not totally broadcaster's fault. Listeners also have problems. They should prove it when they get new information.

"War of the Worlds": Behind the 1938 Radio Show Panic

    It is a sequel of the last article 'Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact'. It explained how radio influenced the society. Many people listen to radio everyday. There are many things on it. Including news, music, talk show...... 
   
    No matter where the information comes from, it should be proved by enough evidences. If we just trust what we hear or see, there will have lots of problems. Just like the articles say or the movie'wag the dog' showed. Media will cover everything. Bad people used media to cover many scandals. Being clever people.

    

Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact

    This article was talking about the news are from radio. It was ridiculous. People did not prove it and just ran away from their house even ran out of cities. I don't know why they did not check the news was true or not first. They just believe what they heard. It caused lots of problem.

    I think there is a similar information like this. I don't believe 2012 is the end of the world, but many people still believe. It is a big deal no matter which country. I think maybe there was a movie called 2012 influenced this society a lot. And still have lots of news about Mesoamerican prediction. But recently they said it was not true. The earth will not explode on 2012. How ridiculous!
