 多彩な色使い、誰もが一度は夢見るファンタジーの世界。絵の中に入り込んで探検してみたいと感じるような井上直久氏の作品に出会ったのは中学生の時である。何色もの色で描かれた、現実にはありえない空想の世界は、小さい頃から私が夢にみていた世界だった。
 井上氏の作品は明るい多色な色で描かれた空想画ばかりである。その中でも最も私が心惹かれた作品がこの「多層海」である。境界線のように浮かんだ白い帯は雲ではなく、波のない海面である。この作品も、鮮やかな木々が茂っている山の中に家が何件か建っていて,その山はなんと四層に分かれる海の中にそびえ立っているという空想画だ。他の作品と同じようなこの絵に私が惹きつけられた理由は、夢のようなありえない空想の世界の中に日本の四季が見られたからだ。描かれている一つの山はそれぞれの海面によって分けられていて、それぞれ木々の色が異なっている。一番下の層は、春。綺麗な花々が咲いていて、全体は淡いピンク色。次の層が、夏。緑が青々としている。そして、紅葉が美しい秋。鮮やかな赤色とオレンジ色が目を引く。最後は、山の頂上、真っ白な雪の積もった冬である。この木々の色の違いが四季を表しているのだと思った。空想の世界と日本の美しい自然の融合が、より私の興味をそそり、想像の世界を広げさせた。

幻想的な井上氏の描く世界は、描き方にも特徴がある。まず、真っ白なキャンパスにいろんな色のしぶきをかけて、色の入り混じった模様の下地を作る。入り混じった模様を眺めているうちに、描く像が浮かび上がってくるのだ。そして、少しずつ最初の下地に手を加えていくことで作品ができてくる。とても斬新な描き方だが、最終的には繊細で美しい絵が出来上がるので驚きだ。しかし、その何事にもとらわれない自由な描き方が、遊び心溢れる作品を生み出すのではないかと思う。

井上氏が描く美しい幻想の世界。その独特な世界を彼はイバラードと呼んでいる。空に浮かぶ浮き島、空を飛ぶ鉄道、植物が生い茂る建物。そんな夢や記憶の世界のように、自分が関心あるものや、気持ちがくつろぐものだけで構成した世界.『みんな見かたを変えれば、すごく不思議なものに見える。生きていることが面白くて仕方なくなる。』と井上氏は言う。見慣れたものでも少し見かたをかえれば、今まで気付かなかったことが見えてきて、またそれを表現することによって幻想的なものができあがるのであろう。私も一度今まで見てきたもの、住んでいる世界に対する見方を変えて自分だけの世界を想像し描いてみたい。

BR2-15 A Christmas Carol

"Marley's ghost? It can't be!" (p.14)

前表紙 I like Christmas very much, so I chose this book this time. This book is divided into six chapters.

Marley was dead, dead as a doornail. All that remained of the firm of Scrooge and Marley was Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge...a grasping, greedy, gruesome old man! He was as hard as stone, and so cold inside his face looked frozen. Scrooge didn't care for anyone and hardly anyone cared for him. Even Christmas cheer couldn't thaw his icy heart.

The door knocker on this house was not unusual, just large. But, as Scrooge put his key in the doo, the knocker put his key in the door, the knocker changed into Marley's face. Startled, Scrooge turned his key and went in. Was the back of Marley's head sticking out into the hall? No, he saw only screws. Then, slowly, something came through the door...Scrooge couldn't believe it. There was a ghost! The ghost let out a frightful cry and rattled its chains. Scrooge closed the window and checked his door. It was still locked. He was asleep in an instant...Scrooge awoke in total darkness. On the stroke of one, a hand drew back the curtain around his bed...He was face to face with the strangest creature he had ever seen.

Scrooge wake up, back in bed, as a clock struck one. He sat up nervously but nothing happened. He flung back his curtains. No one was there. But, there was a ghost of Christmas Present. They flew to quieter, emptier places...but everywhere Scrooge saw people full of Christmas spirit.

Acrooge promised to take care of Bob and his family, and he was as good as his word. To Tiny Tim―who didn't die―he was a second father. He knew laughing was good for them and his own heart laughed with them.

MR-06 Peter Pan

 Today I watched “Peter Pan”. I've never seen this cartoon film but I read this story in a
book. I can’t remember it so I watched this movie with my little sister. I will write about
this movie and about characters.

First Peter Pan is one of the most famous Disney movies. The film was screened in the
United States on February 5, 1953.

Second I will write about this movie’s story. One night Peter Pan come Wendy’s house.
He asked Wendy to become the mother of lost children and come to Never Land with
him. But she has two young brothers and she said she wanted to go with her brothers.
Their names were John and Michael. John is about 10 years old and Michael is 5. They
believe in Peter Pan and Never Land so they are glad to see him. They could come to fly
in the sky with pixie dust, then they left for Never Land. In Never Land, they met
Captain Hook. He is a pirate and he doesn’t like Peter Pan. Why doesn’t he like Peter
Pan? Captain Hook lost his left hand to Peter in the old days so he wants to kill Peter
Pan. In the last scene, Wendy, John, and Michael go back to their house. Their father
sees Peter Pan’s ship too. So I think maybe their father has been to Never Land.

My little sister and I love fantasy stories so this movie makes us happy. I want to fly
and I want to go to Wonder Land with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. She is very cute so I
have many of Tinker Bell’s seals. When I was child, I loved Peter Pan because his looks
were very cool and he was a hero. If I have children in future, I think I want to read to
my child this story and I want to have these dreams for my children.

Q.1 How does Coach Carter accomplish positive change and how are how are his methods similar and/or different from Erin Gruwell's ( Freedom Writers ) methods. Give examples and details from the movie.

A.1 Compare Coach Carter’s method with Erin Gruwell’s method, I found similar point. It’s both give problem for players(students) and settled it. Player(students) thinking about problem and noticed their answer. For example, Coach Carter is gave hard practice for students and players noticed valuable of teammate, and Erin Gruwell is gave “Anne’s Diary” for student, and got hold various thinking. And Different point is Coach Carter has Sparta training. He gave heavy punishment if players late for practice. And Grin Gruwell is not Sparta training. She is gave top priority to student’s thinking things and helped it.

 Q.2 What were the main items of the contact? And why do you think Coach Carter had the players sign such a contact before they could play? Do you agree or disagree with this?

 A.2 Main items of contract is attend all of their classes and maintain a respectable grade point average. I think he wanted to keep the simple rules they have to follow. I agree with this. Because, Coach Carter wished every players go to university easily or more cheap money. So, he planned this rule.

3. When Coach Carter found out that over half of his team was failing he suspended all practice sessions and forfeited the followoing games.
 Q.3 Why do you think he did that? What does the expression, "student-athlete mean?" Do you agree or disagree with the meaning of this expression?

 A.3 Because, he wanted grow up study and basketball through contract. Coach Carter said “student” comes first. I think student’s main work is study. So, he said so that. And I agree with the meaning of this expression. Because, study is important for living and people judge a person from school background or achievements past. So he wanted grow up players to take player’s place in adult society.

4. At various times throughout the movie, Coach Carter asks Cruz, "what is your deepest fear young man?"

 Q.4 What do you think Coach Cater meant by that? How does Cruz answer Coach Carter and what do you think his answer means?

 A.4 I think Coach Carter wanted got noticed players, they can do it. Each player has each ability and if every ability made one, it is make the strongest power. Cruz answered “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. His answer mean is players perseverance moving all around people for better or worse. Sometimes they makes all around people happy and sometimes makes discouraged. So they have to shine for other people and as they are liberated from their own fear, their presence automatically liberates others.

5. At the end of the movie during the locker room scene Coach Carter tells his team that he failed to meet his objectives for the basketball season.
 Q.5 What did he mean by that? Give specific examoles from the movie.

 A.5 Coach Carter came to coach basketball players, and they became students and he came to teach boys and they became men. What they achieved goes way beyond the win-loss column, or what’s gonna be written on the front page of the sports section tomorrow.They have achieved something that some people spend their whole lives trying to find.

Freedom writers

 Freedom writers” is the nonfiction movie. This movie’s hero is one of class. This class is 203.They were quarrel of each race and it made classroom teacher’s Erin Gruwell harassed. But her perseverance changed student. They did any action and changed thinking. Her education changed any student’s life. This movie is like that. And I answered 5questions and stated my opinion as follows.

A.1 I think we have different tribes, and all of them divided into separate section and depending on tribes. There’s Little Cambodia, The Ghetto, Wonder Bread Land, South of the Border or Little Tijuana. But this way is wrong. Each people might different accent or eyes color and skin color and so on. However we must to alive in corporation. Even if different outward appearance, it is character I think.

Q.2 What is voluntary integration? And what did some of the Wilson High School teachers think about voluntary integration? Do you agree or disagree with th eattitudes these teachers? why? Include details from the movie.

A.2 Voluntary integration is about riot in Los Angeles. Wilson High School teacher said “Integration’s a lie. We can’t say that or we lose our jobs for being racist.” I disagree with attitudes these teachers. Because, I thought riot in Los Angeles was not success. After all, this matter happened cause anger of Negro and why did they felt indignation. The reason is treating for Negro by Caucasian. And only African’s high unemployment rate and so on. Using force is not good. But Caucasian wouldn’t listen to Negro’s argument and Caucasian hadn’t doubt in the world own argument is sound argument. So this way is final way to sue Caucasian.

Q.3 What do you think Miep Gies was trying to say to the students when she said this? How do you think you could put this statement into statement into practice in your own life?

A.3 I thought we can turn on a small light in dark room and like a Miep Gies, even if different races must help for each other. And I will start job hunting. It is not easy to find job. Maybe I can’t pass at first. But I must get job finally. I can turn on small right myself.

Q.4 What was the purpose of doing a toast for change? Do you think it was effective in helping th e students? Use details from the movie to support your answer.

A.4 They are each gonna make a toast for change. And what that mean is from this moment on, every voice that told you ”You can’t “ is silent. Every reason that tells you things will never change, disappear. Now it’s you turn. I think it is got courage and confidence each, and that is change thinking of student for the person you were before this moment that person’s turn is over.

Q.5 Why did the students decide to call their book "Freedom Writers"? Give specific examples from the movie.

A.5 Erin Gruwell told us we have something to say to people. They were writers with their own voices, their own stories, And even if nobody else read it, the book would be something to leave behind that said they were here, this is happened, they mattered.
