REVISED JOURNAL 2

ALBERT CAMUS

Albert Camus was born in 1913 and died in 1960. He was a French author who won Nobel Prize in 1957, journalist, and philosopher. He studied at the University of Algiers. At the same time Albert was the goalkeeper of the university team and he continued to do this until he contracted tuberculosis in 1931. From time to time, he had to give up his responsibilities and just rest at his home because of his illness. Finally, he closed his eyes to life as a result of a traffic accident. Italy was the most beautiful country for Camus. He says for Italy " the country created for my own heart .."

     Albert Camus is one of my favorite authors. Last summer,  I read a few of his books for the first time. At the begining, I had hard times to understand his aim to write ;then, I read, I began to understand him very well. I have read his ' YABANCI' , 'MUTLU ÖLÜM', 'TERSİ VE YÜZÜ' so far. His aim is not to be happy any longer; he just wants to be aware of his environment, his world.. He says that life is very short and wasting your time is a kind of sin.. There is no limit to love. Embrace everything whatever you see whatever you believe whatever you feel... Life is simple. It is human to make complicated everything.. Feeling sorry for the mother..Is it love to her ?.. No one will want to listen you any longer. It will be the terrible truth when you get older .. You will be convicted to solitude and silence.. Man is the only creature to refuse what he is.. The coming of the disease is all of a sudden, yet to going of it needs time..  He has a different , orijinal idea about life, love, isolitude, oldness almost every topic. The most important one was he looked at life from different perspectives..

REVISED JOURNAL 1 - ICE AGE

ICE AGE

      Ice Age  is a kind of American computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film. Carlos Saldanha and Chris Wedge are directors of this film. Ice Age was nominated at 75th Academy  Rewards for best animated feature.

    Ice Age is a series consisting of three sequels: Ice Age: The Meltdown , Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Ice Age: Continental Drift. The film begins with a squirrel known as Scrat who is trying to find a place to store his food. In the end, he finds a place for his food but causes to several cracks on ice and he ends up in a herd of prehistorical animals. These animals are aware of the danger coming with the increasing temperature and decide to migrate south except for Manfred, an mammoth who is heading in north. Another character in the film is Sid. He is a clumsy sloth and his family leave behind him. For this reason he stands alone. Fortunately, he runs across our huge character ,Mandred, and continues his migration safely. During the migration, they have many adventures. Sid is always clumsy and he is in trouble most of the time. If he is not in danger, it is  almost certain that our mammoth Madred has saved  him. The struggles of squirrel Scrat to fine a safe place for his food produce so many funny scenes for spectators.  The Mammoth is always stubborn to stay north ignoring the melting ice. However, his friends  convince him about the migration to south with them. Their adventurous journals to south last for three sequels. Each of them is full of enjoyable dialogs. Besides, this dialogs are one of the reasons why I like watching this animation. As far as I'm concerned, all characters especially Sid are very succesful in making  spectators laugh during the all three films. I like almost all animations but I can recommend you watch especially Ice Age to have a rare old time :)

THE KITE RUNNER

   

   

      The Kite Runner is a novel by Khaled Hosseini. It was published in 2003 and it is Hosseini's first novel. The Kite Runner was adapted into a film of the same name in 2007. 

         The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir who is a young boy from Kabul-the largest city of Afghanistan. Amir has a  close friend named Hassan and Hassan's father is their Hazara servant. This story forms not only friendship, brotherhood, love but also shines light on the history of Afghanistan and the rise of Taliban regime. It gives a lot of information about how Taliban overthrowed the former goverment and formed his own goverment, the  terrible times the Afghan people had in that time, and of course, how Amir, Hassan,his father affected from this situation.

           The Kite Runner is one of the my favorite books due to not only its topic but also the author's style used in this novel. Everything in novel can be understood easily thanks to the author's style. The author tells the story intriguingly. When I read, I want read more. I was always curious about the next event which Amir or Hassan had. Although The Kite Runner is the first novel of Khaled Hosseini, he is very successful in making up a story  and telling excellently.For instance ; I was always curious about how Amir would learn that Hassan and himself were brothers, who would tell him and when? . These questions always kept me on tenterhooks. I waited for the answers till the end of the novel. The answers were hidden in the last page of the novel and even the last a few lines.  Indeed; these last lines seems us as an end,yet it is a begining of different lives for Hassan and Amir. It is like the begining of a new story. Probably other boys from Afghanistan, probably brothers- sisters, new lives and new stories..
