Anna last work
My family is my most precious in my whole life. I’m only son in my family. Especially, people in Korea usually said only sons are rude and unkind to other people because their parents offer everything they want to have or do. So, the only sons do not respect other people. I have never been grown by my parents like that way. My parents always told me I should thank for everything and everybody near me. And, every situation depends on how people think about. As a child, I could not understand at all. My family is not rich and do not have many things compare to other people. In spite of that, I have never seen my parent’s fight or struggle. They always thank god for everything, even lack of thing. Although I was not a good student who had high grade, my parents always trust me and support me to do what I want in right ways. It enables me to have confidence and not to deviate from the right life ways. Now, I think I am really lucky because I was born by my parents. My second precious thing in my life is my friends. Although I really love my parents, always doing something with parents could not satisfy me. Not only does hanging around with friends make me fun, but it also enables me to learn something I cannot learn in the school. However, as time goes by and we grow up, it is not easy to make true friends and to spend time on hanging around with friends without anxiety. It was because we are getting have many things we have to do to become good social members. Third, a camera is my precious because I can record my memories with my family and friends.

post assignment#3 Korean Halloween day.

Have you ever heard of bugaboo which is a kind of Asian ghosts? In Korea, there was also Halloween day for bugaboo, although many Korean don’t know that. Actually, I didn’t even know that there was that kind of day in Korea before I found this information because nobody celebrates that festival nowadays. Long times ago, people in Korea believed in bugaboo. Especially, January 16 depending on lunar calendar is a special day for bugaboos. They gather together to enjoy their party. The meaning is little different from American Halloween day. But, really different thing between the festival in Korea and in America is reason why people do something on the day. People living in Korea long time ago believed that the day is very harmful for people. So, they didn’t want to go out from village. Moreover, they put some a charm on the door to prevent themselves from bad effect of bugaboo. And, they were disguised like bugaboos. They made fun together by making a dramatic performance. That story of performances was largely that people beat bugaboo finally. By doing that, people thought it helps ill luck to be gone from them or their family. In fact, the festival for bugaboo disappeared in Korea. Some Korean doesn’t know anything about this include me. I was ashamed of that as a Korean. I think Koreans are supposed to keep our tradition by knowing about our tradition more such as the bugaboo’s day.
