MOVIE

UP (2009) by Disney
I watched this in a theater.
This was the first 3-D movie for me. I love both the effect and story. Before I watched it, I thought it is just a Disney animation for kids. However, I was really moved by the story. It is not just an ordinal animation.

Week3: Books

Harry Potter
I read this book when I was 5th grade. That was the first time I read a book without pictures. The book strongly attracted many generations and countries. “Harry potter” was one of the most popular books in my country. I love the story and the fantasy world.

The secret
At first I read this book because of my Humanity class’ assignment. This book has so many advices to let myself become more positive of my life. The book also let the reader know how to achieve to success. The best phrase I like is “You are born to make dream reality.”

The Great Blue Yonder
This book is about a boy named Harry who already dead and became a ghost to try to say good bye and thank you to his Family and friends. I like this book because even though it is a serious and sad story, it still has a lot of humor. This book also let me think about the true meaning of living.

Media Impact

I want to propose a media research about “How video games impact children’s behavior and life style?”
I would like to choose my target to elementary school students. I will interview them about how long they play game every week, what kinds of Video games are they prefer, and have they act like the games’ character or situation in real life.
I would use survey methods to do this project. I think to interview the real opinion from target and collect data is the best way to get reliable research result.
My hypothesis is Video games have bad influence for children’s behavior and life style: less sleep, can’t concentrate in school activity, or even harm their friends by acting game characters.
