BR 1-12: Stories of GHOSTS

I read Stories of GHOSTS. There was a hotel which is Shiverham Hall. All the guests were dead. Ghosts came from the spirit world. There were twenty-two ice-cold bedrooms...a poltergeist - powered jacuzzi...and a string quartet playing haunting tunes. No living soul dared visit the hotel. It was far too creepy.
Then, one afternoon, the hotel's deathly hush was shattered. Most of the ghosts were napping. Mr.Quiver, the hotel manager, had come down for a glass of water. Suddenly, a round-faced man flung open the front door and strode up to the reception desk.
Mr.Quiver was horrified. Minutes later, he gathered the hotel staff together. No one was happy about Slate's plans. Slate was climbing the rickety stairs to bed, when Mr.Quiver appeared in front of him. Slate looked a little surprised. But then he shrugged. "Out of my way, potato head!" he shouted. Slate had been terrified of his aunt when she was alive. Now she was even scarier. "I've ch...changed my mind," he stammered, tore up his plans, and ran. All the ghosts cheered. Mr. Quiver approached Great Aunt Mabel and bowed.
"Thank you, madam," he said. "Please stay as our guest for as long as you want-for free."

It was very interesting book, I like it. I like horror books and movies and more! I want to go this ghost's hotel=)

BR 1-11: The Revealing Story of Underwear

Have you ever wondered what people used to wear under their clothes? I read The Revealing Story of Underwear. Centuries ago, people didn't wash other clothes often. A layer of under clothes kept their outer clothes slightly cleaner - though it didn't always disguise the smell of their sweaty bodies below. Underwear can also give a certain shape to clothes. Though history, fashions have changed from wide hips...to flat chests...to pointy breasts. Most of these shapes would be impossible without some special underwear. The story of underwear begins long ago, in the ancient lands of Egypt, Crete and Rome. And with more erectric washing machines in house since the 1960's, having clear underwear has never been so easy!
This is very interesting book.

Essay 1-02b: HEROES

Do you know HEROES? HEROES is an internationally-broadcast science-fiction drama in the United States in September 2006. It is broadcast by about 40 countries. Recently, it's very famous in Japan. HEROES is people who discover they have special abilities. For example, control between time-spaces, flight, reproduction of tissue cell, marvelous physical strength, telepathy, prospect in the future and more!

HEROES has 5 season episodes. But, season 5 are still considering wrapping up the show in a webseries or movie. I had already watched season 3. Season One contains 23 episodes and consists of one volume, entitled "Genesis". The first season of Heroes begins on the day of a solar eclipse. Various people throughout the world discover they have super-human abilities. The story revolves around the attempts to prevent an explosion threatening to destroy New York City.Season Two consists of one volume, "Generations", and includes 11 episodes. Season Three consists of two volumes. The first 13 episodes are Volume Three "Villains", and the last 12 are Volume 4 "Fugitives".

HEROES cast are very very cool and beautiful! I like Claire Bennet(Hayden Panettiere), Hiro Nakamura(Mashi Oka) and Peter Petrelli(Milo Ventimiglia). Claire Bennet is a high school student. She has a reproduction of tissue cell ability. She is a cute girl. Hiro Nakamura is japanese man. He is Otaku(maniac). He always "yatta-!" said. Peter Petrelli has empathic mimicry. He is a doctor. He absorbs various abilities.

HEROES are written by creator/writer Tim Kring. It's an award-winning internationally-broadcast. But, HEROES's 5 season is still considering wrapping up the show in a webseries or movie. Because HEROES audience rating is bad. It's feel very sad to me.

HEROES is mysterious and strange drama, but it's interesting and exciting for me.
