Profiles

Here is a special person that I would like to make this profiles of her, my dearest sister, Rita Lo.

My sister is six years older than me, and she is twenty-four years old now. She is a mother of a little girl and soon there will be two at the end of the year! I would say that she is a excellent cooker in our house, she always loves to cook or bake some delicious foods for us. My sister and I look pretty similar when we are children. But there is one thing that make us completely different from each other, she has a vivacious and extroverted personality which I do not have it. She enjoy making new friends, trying new experiences and has a friendly smile with her all the time. However, the stronger personality of her sometimes freaked me out because the indignation would be appeared directly on her face when she is angry.

Actually, we never have a serious argument or fight with each other, maybe the opposite personality unexpectedly helps me having a more intemately relationship with her. My sister teaches me a lot of things toward the life and always be my best friend in the world.

The critical apathy towards the sufferers

In the short story, “The Lottery”, gives the readers a surprisingly ending that the villagers are throwing stones at a girl and beat her into death. In general, we always believe that terrible matters are done by abnormal people, but somehow our history records have proven that this concept of terrorists is wrong. The most dangerous person is always the one who seems to be normal. This story also brings us a concept about the vacuously fallowed of tradition. People hold the tradition event for no reason and believe that they are supposed to do because everyone else is doing it. It reminds me of real life, we always tend to follow other people without a particular reason. We follow the fashion, we buy cell phones, iPods or cars which just because everyone has them, and we suppose to do so.

Elie Wiesel’s speech and “The Lottery” both show the same theme about the indifference toward the sufferer. In the story of “The Lottery”, when the girl is being attacked by the stones, nobody is cared about her feeling or speak out to stop this terrible abuse. Also, there are plenty of examples in Elie’s speech that indicates people’s indifference of those tragic victims. Such as St. Louis affair, the ship which carried numbers of Jews was sent back by the United State, the greatest democracy country.

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Review

Salted caremel hot chocolate, the new choices of Starbucks' hot chocolate drink. During a chilly and windly day, I hold this unique drink which I never had before, wondering about the word "salted" in its title. How could a salted flavor combine with sweet chocolate? Now, let me tell you this incredible experience that I have been through. Looking at the pure white cream floats upon the hot chocolate, with some caramel and salts on the top, I sip a bit of it. At this moment, my sense of taste is strongly attacked by the creamy chocolate flavor. The salted and sweet flavors are mixed into an absolutely delectable taste. Moreover, there also have some chocolate's original bitter flavor which is the best part of this drink. The hot chocolate smoothly flows through my tongue and throat, and suddenly warms my tremble body.

Top 3 Characters and Person

The top three characters and person that I decied to present toward you are the famous cartoon characters, Stitch and Donald Duck, and my little sweet nices,Lola. These three characters and person have influenced me and made my life more amusedly. Now, I will show you the reasons why I am choosing them as my top three.


#3 Stitch

Stitch is a manical little monster from outer space and is adopted by a lonely little gril called, Lilo who living with her older sister in beautiful Hawaii. Through the sroty of Stitch, they prove that family is family, no matter how out of this world some of the member might be. This is very significant to me because family is the most important thing in my life, and the humorous characterterize of Stitch is also a reason why I love it so much.

#2 Donald Duck
Donald Duck is a white anthropomorphic duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red bowtie, but no pants (except when he goes swimming). Donald's most famous trait is his easily provoked and occasionally explosive temper. Also, his identifiable voice is a very arresting characteristic. The picture on the bottom is a Donald's cup which is a present from my sister. This is my favorite cup that I am used to drinking coffee every morning. Look at its long handle arm and cute bum, isn't it a wonderful cup in the world!
