Online Writing and Word Processing

410309002

     Nowadays, people prefer to use the Internet to do everything almost. So online writing has become a normal way for people to describe something they want to say. And word processing is a way to make the text much more complete. They have different strong points. That is why I need to compare one with the other.

    Here I am going to compare online writing with word processing. First, it is a good way to describe one’s opinions and feelings to other people on online writing. In contrast, word processing is private that the writers can say their true feelings privately. Second, using online writing is a good way to make friends with those people who have same feelings or viewpoints with the writer. However, if the writer in a place without the Internet, he or she cannot use online writing. On the other hand, word processing needs no the Internet. So it can be used in everywhere if you have the system. At last, word processing will help the writer to correct wrong words immediately. Also, online writing will let the writer know others viewpoints, and it can also help the writer to correct their mistakes by other people’s reflections.

    I prefer word processing to online writing because the former is much more private than the latter. There are three reasons for why I prefer word processing to online writing. The first reason is that if I have feelings about something, I can turn on my computer and type words I want to say on word processing. It is more private than online writing. Sometime we have some secrets that we do not want to let us know, however, we need a way to vent our feelings. For this reason, word processing is a good way. The second reason is that it needs no Internet. Although I am in a place without the Internet, I can use the word processing as usual. It is convenient. Last but not the least, word processing can help us to correct the mistake. It is a nice way to stop you from making the same mistakes again and again. The three points are reasons why I prefer word processing.

Book : Little Tree's Sideways Dreams

 Summary:

   Little Tree’s Sideways Dreams is written by Jessie Huang, and it is illustrated by Miriam Wang and Riva Chen. The leading character is a little tree that wants to travel the world. A little bird usually tells it that how gorgeous the world is. It always imagines the scenery of the other parts of the world which it can never see as a tree. One day, it comes up with a crazy idea. It is going to grow in a different way. The little tree starts to bend its trunk day by day. Year after year, the little tree finally grows up and it becomes a sideways tree. It can touch the sea, however, seawater makes its leaves withered. The little tree is dying, at that time, a human family save it and they help it.

Reflection:

   The book is attractive. It has lots of beautiful pictures and it is easy to read for children. In the story, the big trees told the little tree that how to grow up. They did not agree with the little tree’s crazy dreams. In my opinion, the big trees are just like adults and parents in human’s world, especially in Asia. They always told their children how to do or what cannot do. However, children have their own life. Just like the little tree in the story, it chose a totally different way to lead its life. There is generation gap between the big trees and the little tree. I think that if parents read the book as bedtime story, they can think deeply about the meaning behind the appearance of the story. In addition, it can also make children to understand that it is important to have a dream, however, finding a correct way to reach the dream is significant, too. At last, I want to say that this is really a good story for both children and adults to read.

Movie : Princess Diaries 2

Summary :

      It has been five years since Mia, the princess of Genovia found that she was the princess of a small country in Europe. Now she is about to back to her father's hometown and she is going to take over the throne. However, there is a big problem between her and the throne. That problem is that she has to marry a man before she becomes the queen of Genovia or the crown will be inherit by the second-in-line to the throne, Lord Nicholas Devereaux. For this reason, she has to find a perfect husband in a month as soon as possible. After a series of siftings, an impeccable man is found, and they are going to get married. However, Mia falls in love with Nicholas, the man who covets her crown and their scandal were showed by paparazzi. Now, she needs to make a decision between her true heart and her responsibilities.    

Reflection :

      It has been a long time since I watched Princess Diaries. I am surprised that it has a sequel. In fact, I prefer the former leading man to the latter. It was a pity that he and Mia did not be together in Princess Diaries 2 to me. After watching this movie, I think it is really a good story for girls to see. Almost every girl wants to be a princess just like Mia. She is not a model princess, but she is brave and sparky. She always follows her true feelings no matter what will happen. I like the words that “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important.” which was written by Mia’s father in the letter for Mia. In the movie, the sentence was also be mentioned when Mia was unsure whether she accept arranged marriage or not. The words gave she a way to decide what should she do. I do not think that the movie is only a love story. It is much more than that. In the story, Mia is not a usual princess like in fairy tales. She teaches girls that a princess does not mean beautiful, rich or smart, but courageous. I think that is what a princess looks like.
