When I saw this movie, I was also a little girl and I remembered that the movie was so interesting to me. When the little boy try to protect his house from burglars with lots of trick which he made it by himself, it made audience fun easily. If an adult were acting in order to protect his house like that, it’s would be not funny, beside looks like more cruel. And director choose the foolish burglars on purpose to add more interesting points. I think this factor can be good matched with purity of the little boy.

In brief, I can tell I have grown together with this movie. So I still remember the young boy’s a pure and brave ability. I really recommend that if you want to see the movie, you have to catch out what I told you. It makes you help the better to enjoy this movie.

Comparing behavior between parents and children in US and Korea

“The parents hit their children as education.” If you are an American, can you agree with the parents? However in a same case, If you are Korean, you want to know the situation more specifically. It’s very different the behavior of parents and children in Korea from in America like the above. Although all parents love their children, the ways of raising their children are various according to their culture or social atmosphere. There are lots of similarities and differences between American and Korean parents how to take care their children


Even though the culture of Korea and America is so far different, one of the most important similarities is that every parent is still their children’s safe fence. First, parents and their children do love each other. The only one difference is that they communicate with a different language to express their love. It is the biggest similarity among all parents and children. Second, all children want to respect their parents. When they are born, they see their parents at first time and then they learn many things by miming their parent’s actions and habits. So as they have grown up, they have considered that their parents who are regardless of their job or statement. Third, every parent is a good supporter to make their children desirable person. When their children feel happy, they are willing to happy together. In addition, when the children feel bad or have a problem, the parents always care about them. Therefore we can guess that the greatest love is a parental love beyond any countries.


There are also differences behavior parents and children between America and Korea. First, every language has a difference system between them, that is English don’t have an honorific term, the other language which is Korean have a that system. It’s a very important thing for Korean parents to make their children observe polite attitude and one’s manner of speech from they was born. Then the Korean parents might teach their children more strictly. Because of this so many Korean children looks like somewhat less active than American children. Second, the way which the children are punished by their parents is different between America and Korea, when their children are occurring a fault. American parents often don’t let them go outside for a week, or more. Actually the Korean parents also give their children punishment like that. But sometimes a little corporal punishment also can be permitted. This is not an emotion that parents don’t love their children anymore, but this is a wish of parents that their children will be better than before.


In conclusion, there are lots of similarities and differences between American and Korean parents how to take care their children. Although some differences exist between their countries, we can find out that the love of parents toward their children is same.

Chu-Suk

Have you ever seen a crazy Korean? On Chu-suk which is the biggest holiday in Korea, you can see so many Koreans get together to enjoy the holiday by cooking, playing, praying. This is a unique day when people can pretend to be another person to enjoy this holiday. Chu- Suk is the best holiday because so many Koreans celebrate that day use by cooking, playing, praying.

First, the women who are married usually prepare the Korean traditional foods. They get up early in order to ready for the holiday food like as Song- pyun and Jab-Chae so on. It’s very delicious for me. As we get together making some food, we can talk to each other how have you been.

Second, we play game with Korean cards. This card game usually can play with 4peoples. If you win this game, the winner makes a funny punishment for the looser. All families have fun. They can forget about routine stress through this game.

Third, we usually make a wish to the full moon. Praying toward at moon comes from an old Korean legend. And the full moon is also symbol of greatness and luck like a god. We usually wish for family’s health, peace, love so on.

In Short, Chu-suk holiday bring us so many good things. Therefore, all Koreans hope that Chu- Suk holiday coming pretty soon every year.
