Very short story

I found a key that my mum left on the table and I was going around the house matching the key to the door locks and it was for a cupboard.

My sister gave me a jawbreaker so I ate it without doubt because I like lollies and it got stuck in my throat. My sister had to took it out.

My friends and I went outside to play and there was a bulky kids coming toward us and I got scared but they were wanting to play with us.

Message in the photo

It shows that reading a book rather than watching a film is more better and you can learn deeper because a film is a shortened version of a book and it is not that detailed than a original book.

There is lots of people around a red person and that could represent independency(showing an opinion) or being on the opposite side to everyone else.

This picture can show that if you get lots of photos and fill the house with it, it worth lots of memories because there is lots of photos in the house or these photos in the house could represent yourself, what you did and all those experiences that you had.

There is a violinist playing alone and it could mean it doesn't matter how much the people thinks about you, you can just enjoy and don't care about what the people thinks about you.

My favourite website

My favourite website is Naver. It is a korean site just like google but you can communicate with people on blog, apps that Naver supports such as Line, Mypeople or other social apps that Naver supports.
Its logo is a green searchbar which is like this.

Most of the people in the South Korea uses this site and you can get a Naver account and if you have an account you can enjoy lots of stuff that Naver offers and provides like a dictionary, news, blog, mail, cafe, Ndrive, notes and lots more. You can do lots of stuff with one Naver account but it is in Korean.

The main page looks like this.

12 years a slave

12 years a slave is a very emotional, touching movie. Back in the 1800 in the United States, New York City, Solomon Northup who is a free black man gets kidnapped in Washington D.C. Solomon has a beautiful wife and a child that loves him and he was a brilliant violinist but after the show he gets to be sold into a slave because of a white people. He worked in a Louisiana for twelve years until he gets released. He gets renamed as a Platt because the slaves in there had to get renamed and they always did. Slaves there must pick at least 200 pounds of cotton every day and the slave's owners hit them, punched them and slapped them. Solomon really misses his family but there is no way to get out until he gets released and he doesn't know when he is going to get released. Finally, after him being a slave for 12 years, he returns to his family.
