Reading Journal of The Mill on the Floss from George Eliot

           The Mill on the Floss is a story about a girl named Maggie ’s process of growth and her relationship with her brother, Tom.

           Maggie lived in Victorian Britain when the Industrial  Revolution happened. In that time, the stereotype of a woman was one who should be beautiful, graceful and particularly unintelligent. But Maggie was an intellectual girl loving reading  but not caring about her appearance. Because of it, her passion for reading led her to the aristocracy in her twenties.  The story presents a unconventional girl living in Victorian Era how to survive and choose her own life with her mind, and the love between her brother and her.

             I saw the poverty and town-and -country gap of the whole society in the Industrial Revolution from the life of the poor and the rich, who became from the  middle-class by commerce and idustry in the story.  The stict moral of women also was shown through the trials of the heroine, Maggie: a woman should not to be alone with a man without an engagment, or she will be spurned by the society and destroy her fame of family. I also experienced the spirit and life will of Maggie who was unconventional girl wanting to earn a life by herself to be economic independence, having a position of her own with her telent,and seeing her adversities as nothing with peaceful heart. 

             The part of the relationship with his brother, Tom gave me an impressive  image of him. Tom, who was a motalistic, still beloved  his sister eventhough he couldn’t forgive her as the result of  her unmoral behavior. It could be seen in their reunion and death of the story. I aslo got to know the society and history in Victorian Era through the background of the story and  experienced  this story that it was the author ’s eagerness of unconventional women by the descriptions of Maggie.

The University Funds of the Sport Activities Should be Equal as the Libraries

            I agree on the opinion that universities should give the same amount of money to their students’ sports activities as they give to their universities libraries. And the following are my reasons for the agreement.

            Because of the increasing of the sports activities’ funds, students will have more chance to take part in the sports activities. As they hold more sports activities than before, they will balance their academic work. They won’t put all the efforts on study to become a dull boy or girl. They will develop the sense and knowledge in sports. With the sports activities, students will get the balanced abilities in sports and study gradually.

            Students will develop their self-confidence and creativity in learning when they are doing the sports activities. Because some students don’t have good academic performance, they will find other things to prusue and develop self-confidence. Participating  in a sport activity is a common way they choose. Just being in the sport activity, students will show theirselves and get the sense of achievement. It also has them develop the creativity in learning because of doing brain activity during the sports activity.          

            When every student tries to make the sports activities successful, the atmosphere  and the spirit of the school will be built and showed up. Because all of the students do their best on the sport activities like the important event of the school, the spirit of the group will be built and then become to the atmosphere of the school. And the energy of the students will also be pretended in the sports activities and make the whole school  be full of the energy.

             Universities should give the same amount of money to their students’ sports activities as they give to their libraries. Because it will let the students get the equal resource from sports and study, develop their self-confidence and creativities in learning, and build the atmosphere of school and show the energy   of  students!                        

                   

The Lesson What I Have Learned

               I had a quarrel with my friends during the junior high. Because of my rude behavior and selfish thoughts to my friends for long time, they tried to ignore me as a revenge. At first, I was confused about why they didn’t talk to me, but still said “Hello!” to each other in the morning. Then, I wrote a letter to ask them why they did so to me, but they didn’t give any reply.

                 After that, I started to think about what I’ve done to my friends. I finally realized that I really treated my friends with rudeness and let out my bad temper on them with some contemplation. I found that I treated my friends in the way which I did   to my family. I would do impolite actions and said something rude to them. I thought that I took them just as my family. So I could do those rude action which I thought were a behavior of showing our close friendship. I deemed so before. But actually, my thought was totally wrong. Therefore, I was always in my shoes, I had no idea of others’ feeling.

                  When I figured the reason why my friends didn’t be with me anymore out, I wrote another letter to them to apologize. I talked to them face to face and apologize to them, too. They forgave me and were surprised with my attitude. I’m still thankful for my friends now. Because they took the action to remind me that what I’ve done is inappropriate to them in time, I can get along with others well now and learn a lesson!

A Writer For Her Career

       Alison , who is interested in everything , has a unique personality. After interviewing her, I think writer is a best job for her.

      Being pretty sensitive is what could help her be a good writer. She always notices something uncommon earlier than others and has her own unique ideas about them. Because of it, she can notice the influence of many small matters. I am convinced that she could express her own feelings well and directly with her sensitivity.

         Alison likes to read novels and write her own ones in her free time. She also tries to write novels when her mind is full of feelings  and inspirations.

         Blogging is Alison ’s new hobby that allows her to try to record her inner thoughts and daily life. By blogging , she could write something in detail and have some brain activity. Then she will have a clear thought to show her expression.
