So like I
said before in the 8th post it was a good experience to read this
book. I could read the story again, because I have already read this book and
that were good memories again to see how this two companions live together etc.
I have improved my vocabulary, word formations reminded some rules etc. Reading
books is a good practise for a school so we should keep them not they may
disappear. Young generation is used with internet mobile phones etc. so they
are not familiar with books, that’s why they should be confronted with it at
school, because of their selves they wouldn’t do that.

8th post result
Task:
Write about what are you learning personally as a result of reading this text.
Write about what are you learning personally as a result of reading this text.
Answer:
You learn some things at the same time while you are reading the book. For example vocabulary, tenses, word building, in which case you use this word and in which that. It also good for general knowledge, in books it have a lot of informations about politics, culture, technical levels etc. Reading books is always good so we must keep it and bring it to the young generation. So it’s a good strategy at schools to read books as a task or homework so students will come maybe in taste to reading books. For me it was a good experience to read this and other books, so I could create my own personality without listening to people around me, because not all people say the truth. And books tell you mostly the truth and some stories were really happened, so you can learn from this. In what situation what is useful to do and what not. In future I will stop refusing to read books, like I done before, because it’s important for you, so if I must read one, I will read then.

Answer:
This story reminds me to the Bud Spencer and Terence Hill Films, because there are also two guys one of them is stronger (Bud Spencer) and other a little bit more clever and handier. They build a very good friendship together and no one can separate them. It’s beautiful to see how strong friendship can be and everybody wishes such companions for life. Alone you are nothing but in team you could reach a much higher level. I like a lot their films, they are funny entertaining and teach you how to live correct all together and not nowadays Hollywood films with near only crime in it (murderes, kills etc.). The time is also beautiful to see on it, films are made in 70s up to 80s. In United States: Wide streets, big wide v8 cars, Miami beach etc. In south America: Jungles, wild people(aboriginies), beautiful beaches, Atlantic and Pazific Oceans. In Italy: tight Italian streets, small cars (Fiat 500 etc.), italian dialect, Italian daily life, Italian underground. And almost all their films they fly with small hobby planes like Cessna etc. seems to be fly in this time was very important, luxurious and interesting.

5th post characteristics
Task:
Write about how the setting or any of characters remind you of people or characters in your own personal life. How are the situations or events similar to your own life? How are they alike and how are they different?
Answer:
I behave like Lennie somebody need to watch after me, because not always I make the right decisions. It comes from that, that I’m still living at home and some decisions I don’t need to make to. But I’m workin on it, you couldn’t live always like that. Later you will have your own family and you will be the head of the it and you must do all things right. It depends on the situation if work with somebody who is better in this things then me, then automatically he looks after me and when not then I do. The feeling when you did something bad is familiar to me. When you was a child then you sometimes done a bad thing and the feeling(the feeling of guilty) is stored in you very deep, because you schouldn’t do that and that is the lesson for that. I remember this feelings when I read, what Lennie do in some times. Then I feel exactly the same.

4th post quotations
Task:
Write down qoutations. Copy whole passages that are difficult or that you really like a lot.Write your comments.
Answer:
I like this point in the beginning where Lennie had a mouse in his pocket. George was telling him what they gonna to do and how not to get in trouble. Lennie was petting this mouse. George saw that and demanded to give him that thing. It’s a little bit funny because you need some “toys” to employ yourself and when you have nothing you take some usual things like branches, leafs, dead insects usw. Because it is unusual to pet and to keep dead animals George threw this mouse away. He perform his job (to look after Lennie) well but you should let this people(who are not like normal humans in mind) do some unusual things because they need this to manage theyselfs. Otherwise you will have a problem. This spot is:”What’d you take outta that pocket?”. Lennie answered:”It’s only a mouse, George.” George asked:”A mouse? A live mouse?” That is a funny moment for me. So you see later Lennie take this mouse again to play with it. He need this like I said before. Later at the farm he plays with puppys and he talks how nice it would be to have rabbits.

3rd post
Task:
At any point, write about how you feel while reading a section of the book.Say how what is happening makes you feel and why.
Answer:
Now I am at the story where George and Lennie got to the ranch, where they were expected. Curley is boss's son, Candy is old worker who lost his hand at work. Slim is a worker on a higher position, he looks after other workers. Carlston is other worker. Sam is black man with the crooked back, they all call him "stable back". Again like I said earlier its beautiful to feel this time, wooden houses, central heating with fire etc.The autor don't afraid of using bad words. I think you should't do that, but if he decided to do this than go on. While reading I felt happy and also sad, because some moments I like and some I dislike. For example when you have to work hard and a lot that makes me feel sad, because I had to work like this and it’s doesn’t good for your health etc. While reading I must make brakes, because if I read long time I feel like I was there.

2nd post
Reflektion
Instruction:
Write down your first empressions of the book or play. Ask some questions.
This book is easy to read without the beginning, because in the beginning a lot of words are used from the poetic language and of course you dont know them well. First time I started to write them all down for learning, I thought you shold know them all, than you can understand a lot of the current language.But when I had four pages of words and the end was not in sight, I stopped doing this, because I realised it`s impossible to know them all and most of them you could understand rather exact of the content. And you dont need so much time for writing them down either. It is written in the american dialekt, the autor seems to be american. He is american I searched in the internet later and finded the information about him. But it doesnt matter you understand them well and there are translations on the end of the page. American English is slightly different than the British English. It makes no big effort to read it. It`s an interesting story about the real life in those days with horsewaggons, classic cars etc. The story plays in the 1930s in great depression time, you can see it at a lot of work in ranches. They produces a lot of cereals vor consumption, because at this time people wanted to export more things to earn money and create jobs. Unemployment was very big at this time. I like this time of it's character, people didn't have cell phones, internet so you don't need to check your e-mail, be online to recieve messages from your friends, boss etc.. Live wasn't very easy at this time when you were a worker. You must work a lot you haven't or only small amount of holidays. It has always to sides of the thing, a good one and the bad one so choose one that you more like to. I think I would be able to adapt to this time, but my friend says you can only live at this time in that you are set. Because you are programmed in an particular way to been able to use common features of that time. For example cell phone, you learn to operate it very quickly, but if you try to educate the person from 1900 century you won't have success or don't so quick. Because their brain is don't ready for that invention, it's don't finished in it's progress. In other way round the same story you with your advanced brain will be get confused in this time, because your brain haven't a challenge to develop it selve further so you can become stupid. But you can try to reproduce things of your time for daily use in that time where you are. It will be a good work to don't get stupid and your daily life would be easier to manage.
1st Post
For an English subject we must read a book from the list that is set. I choosed Of Mice and Men, because I have already read this book and its a very good story so I would like to read it again. In following I will post the next task posts. I have choosed the reflexion, because it would be more interesting for me to write about this part. I have choosed the blogger.com provider vor creating blogs, but the false one, because I want to put videos from youtube in for a trailer. But in blogger.com you can't do that. That's very pitty, the blog looks too simple without a trailer. I don't wanted to create a new blog by other provider, in reason of time and pleasure, so I let the consisting provider.
