I want to talk about how I view Emma in Madame Bovary and what I would do if I were her. A ccording to the theory of love, a consummate love requires three elements. And passion is the one lacks in Emma’s marriage. To be honest, I can understand why Emma contemplates adultery since during that era women got too many restrictions, they could only live their life at home and rely on their husbands. I couldn’t imagine how boring it could be to live that kind of life. Besides, people regard bourgeois women as the property of their fathers or husbands. By contemplating adultery, Emma not only feels the sense of being loved but also feels that she is an individual needed by others, which are very attracting to her. Although I pitied Emma for not having the life she wants and admire her courage for risking all for love, I still have to say that she treats Charles unfair. Emma despises Charles because he doesn’t fit her image of an ideal husband. She denies him only because o...

The documentary Dynasties  is worth-watching. The crew spent eight months  shooting  the story of Emperor Penguins at Atka Bay, showing us how penguins raise the next generation, take turns to look after their babies and cooperate with each other to get through the blizzard.  One of a memorable scene for me is when a huddle of penguin mothers are tumbled into a ravine in the ice with their baby penguins. Some mother penguins choose to abandon their chicks for saving themselves, while the others try to climb up with her beak and wings .

I couldn’t ruin all my effort without giving it a try. I am not sure whether penguins get emotions or not, but it’s the instinct that mothers are supposed to protect their babies. ...

When the sequel of The Incredibles released, I was in  ecstasy since I’ve been waiting for it for a long time. It was my childhood memory and one of my favorite cartoons.  Although cartoons may sound boring and childish,  they are always funny and relaxing. Besides, Disney’s movies always surprise people with their deeper meaning, and we can learn a lot from them. I got nervous when Helen is in the dilemma of saving the world and being with her family. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot, and I am also impressed by the amazing power of Jack-Jack and how he helps to stop the crime. However, I like the sequel of The Incredibles not only because it is interesting, but also it is educational. In this movie, it discusses the fairness of law and gender equality. It successfully raises everybody’s awareness of serious issues in an amusing way. One of the scenes I like the most is when Bob and Helen are arguing about the illegality of superpowers. Helen says that "wheth...
