Essay 1-03a: for Robin Hood

This essay is writing about some film versions of Robin Hood. It includes three film versions of Robin Hood. Please read this essay. Surely, you will want to watch these movies of Robin Hood. First, it is a Disney version's movie of Robin Hood. This movie was produced by Reitherman Wolfgang and recounts the traditional stories of Robin Hood. Because it is one of the works of Disney, story is clear and it is made comical. Characters are very cute and amusing, so it will attract people. Also music is very important point in this movie. It seems fun even if a scene of battle.


There is a bad king, Prince John in Nottingham. He is a very greedy, selfish and childish. He had imposed a heavy tax on people. Because of that people were poor and have to spend a hard life. To save such a people, Robin Hood who is good at bow and arrow and Little John who is best friend of Robin Hood steal gold from Prince John and give poor people. The villagers believed that the happiness visit to the village someday. They cooperate each other and fight bad king. Eventually villagers win and regaind a happy life. By the way Robin Hood has fell in love with Maid Marian. He fears that his outlaw status means that he couldn’t pursue a relation with Maid Marian. But actually they love each other. After that village was in peace, Robin and Marian got married and they also lived happy.


Combination of Robin Hood and Little John was outstanding. Although they were a criminal for Prince John, people really appreciate them. Robin Hood and Little John hope well- being and peace of the villagers. Also villagers survived helping each other. This story tells us how important to cooperate each other and too much strong desire lead to grief for people.


Second, it is a Tom and Jerry version's movie. Tom and Jerry is an animation series, it is very popular in all over the world. Tom and Jerry is a series of theatrical animal-cartoon series films created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), this series has a lot of interesting movies. This movie is one of them. MGM company is not Disney company, this company was made to be opposed to the Disney company. This movie distributed by Warner Home Video (2012). It was released United States and Japan.


This movie's story is based on Tom and Jerry animation series (created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera). A story of this movie is that happens a fight between a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) whose chases include slapstick comedy. It is same with this movie. This movie's title is Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and His Merry Mouse. In this movie, main character is not Robin Hood, it is Tom and Jerry.


This movie's plot begins with Robin Hood being pursued by the Sheriff of Notthingham. On the other hand, Jerry being chased by Tom. Robin Hood is good man for almost people, but he is a bother for Prince John. And Kind Richard is a bother for Prince John too. Prince John is bad person, because he misappropriated tax of people. Prince John make a plan to remove them. However Tom and Jerry add to the plan, they try to help for Robin Hood and Kind Richard.


Tom and Jerry often have a fight when they met somewhere, they are not get along to each other for a long time. Tom is not kind for Jerry in the almost animation series, but Tom is kind in this movie. They can became a friend for Robin Hood in this movie. Also there are a lot of unique character in this movie. For example, Robin Hood and Marian, Prince John, Little John, and Kind Richard. Robin Hood and Marian are second main character. The scene that they are appearing is love interest for this movie. You should watch this scene! If you watched this movie, you would feel happy. You can laugh more, and you will have a goot time surely.


Third, it is the other version of Robin Hood which was produced by Ridley Scott. The back ground is war between France and England. There was Robin Hood in England army. They go to war many times and take many France’s positions by force. The king of England asked him a question; what do you think about me. Then Robin Hood answered that I think these war don’t have meaning and the sacrificed people don’t reply. This is why the king got angry and he was refused. After that, the king was killed by French soldier. The next king was selected his younger brother.


He was not clever and was very lazy man. He was always be with women and ate good foods. To give the new king a crown, Robin Hood went to England, but he was attacked unknown group. When he got to England, he saw unbelievable; there was the unknown group. Actually, the new king allied with the group. He thought why the group tried to kill me, but he didn’t understand the meaning. Few days passed, tax become higher than before.


Complain about the stupid king was increased. Robin Hood visit a village where has many problems which is there were no seed. It causes the not paying tax. Then Robin Hood got married a woman whose father is a landowner. Then he talked the king about decreasing tax. Surprised at his power and backing, he cannot deny it. At that time, the king knew that group get touch with France and they are coming to England. Soon later, he went to the beach where the France came, and fight with them. After won the war, the king denied Robin Hood’s asking. After all, Robin Hood was treated as outlaw man.
Robin Hood is very good at a bow and arrow. He was famous of good user of them. He doesn’t miss it, so he use it almost every war. When he kills enemies, he kills them by using only an arrow. Moreover, he was strong, kind, clever, honest, and very smart man. There are nothing about complains about him. So, the king and men who has power hate him. They put eyes on him to prevent from what he does. Finally, the king and Robin Hood get together and they fight with France. It looks like good relation, but actually, the king still hates him, so the king tried to kill him. However there wasn’t him in his town. So he was gone after him.
This Robin Hood’s back ground is invasion for east. So it is the war of England and France. England was very strong, so they go a lot of France’s territory and got them. There were full of dead bodies. There were so many people who have doubt for the war and the king, but no one tell it because the king was very tyrant. There was no way of abolish this situation. But there was a man named Robin Hood who was honest, strong, and clever. He changed the world and thinking which people who has power has.


These movies are very interesting and wonderful. All films are famous in all over the world, and Robin Hood is famous too. Robin Hood is not real person, and story of these movies is fiction story. It includes real things in each movie. It never leaves for daily life, and it has a lot of dreams. However all film’s story is little difficult.


Epecially, Robin Hood that created by Ridley Scott is difficult to Disney version and Tom and Jerry version. A role of Robin Hood is changing by each movie. On the other hand, these movies have real things. For example, Robin Hood opposed to King (John), he married with Marian, and so on. If you watched these movies, you try to watch it while find to difficult point and same point. Please watch these movies someday!


I watched Disney’s Robin Hood. It is a movie that was filmed in the old days a little. So, animation is little old. But people can enjoy it enough. Originally this movie is war’s movie. Of course real content is very serious. However, it is a comedy tone and clarity in this film. So It is a movie that can be enjoy from children to adults.
England is the stage of this story. Robin Hood is a fox. And partner is a bear. His name is little John. Robin Hood and Little John is always people. Prince John is a very bad king. He take a very high tax by force from the public. People is very suffering. And people caught by prince John.And they were trapped in jail. Robin Hood and Little John wants to help people. So, they thought that trying to infiltrate the castle in the middle of the night. But this is very difficult for them. Gate soldiers were waiting in the castle. They escape and run in the castle. They have the money back from the room of the king. And Little John was helped people in the jail. Robin Hood and Little John are became hero.

When I wathed this movie, I thought very interesting. Until I wacthed this movie, I don’t know what Robin hood’s story is. But now, I can understand what Robin Hood’s story is. Robin Hood is very kind people. And Little John too. But now I watched only Disney’s robin Hood. So I want to watch many kind of Robin Hood. And I want to watch not only Robin Hood and also any other foreign countly’s movie. Maybe I can feel many impression from any movies. I looking forword to that day coming.

Reflection on my writing class


 In this writing class, I learned how to write blogs posts quickly write and how to write comments. Every weekend, I forced myself to write many posts and do typing home works. Thanks to this homework, I could learn how to write blogs posts and many words and expression in English. I have never written something in English like this long essays and blogs, so I could face writing English, reading books written in English and think about English. The homework of book review is very nice. I like reading books or newspaper written in English, so I could do that and learn some words and the way of some expression. Without this class and a lot of homework, I couldn’t learn many things. I’m glad to have this class and a lot of homework.

12. Your college, your high school (if possible), your junior high school (if possible), your elementary school (if possible) + pictures of your school uniform(s).



This is the high school which I went to. I learned a lot of things and I corrected my goal. Actually, this school has junior high school, so there are high school students and junior high school student. I made so many friends and now, still I often get touch with them and see them every vacation. However, this summer cannot see them, because I'll in America.
 This is the junior high school which I went to. When I was first grade, I took part in handball club. At the club, I learned about the way of communicate with older people. In Japan, all of Japanese think about how I behave for older people. That's why I think I learned about the most important thing. 
This is the elementary school which I went to. I took part in soccer club when I was elementary school student. I'm not good at playing soccer, so I hated playing soccer, but now I like soccer better than before.

11.Week 11-About my keitai


 Maybe everyone have keitai, smartphone or iPhone. We use it everyday to communicate with our friends, families, teachers, and so on. How many hours do you use it in a day? Almost everyone would use it more than three hours. I think that because of the kaitai, smartphone, or iPhone, our conversation is becoming less than before. We should take off them on the table and talk with each other. The e-mail is very useful, but only reading the mail cannot serve the writter’s emotion. Often the meaning changes to another meaning. Not to do like this, we have to communicate by talking more than now.
