BRAVE WEEK6

Hi, this is the last week in October! It is too fast!
And I have read the book, 'BRAVE' at last! I'm thinking which book I 'm going to read next:)

~BRAVE (FINAL)~
The witch gave Merida a special cake with spell. After Merida returned to her castle and gave her mother. Then, Queen, Elinor transformed a bear like Mor'du. She screamed at first, however the bear was her mum. It means that Elinor had a human feeling even her appearance had been changed. Merida regreted what she had done for her mother because she never wanted to change her mother into a bear.Therefore they went to the witch to ask breaking Elinor's spell. But the witch had gone and Merida and her mother were depressed. And what was even worse, Elinor gradually became a real wild bear.

As they returned to their castle, all people in castle found Elinor bear and they tried to kill her because King Fungus thought that the bear was Mor'du. Merida was locked in a room because her father wanted that his daughter was in safe place not to be injured by the bear. Merida tried to persuade her father that the bear was his wife, Elinor, but she couldn't.

Fortunately, three little bears brought her a key of the locked room, so she could leave the room and run to Elinor bear. Surprisingly, the three were her triplets brothers who had eaten the same cake.

Elinor was surrounded by Fungus and his men. They were just about to kill her. Merida ran up to her mother to save her. Merida tried acting what she broke the her mother's spell, however it was not right way. Thus, Merida began to cry because she didn't know what she should have done. She cried and drapped their tapestry over Elinor's body and said, ' I love you'.

Then, the spell broke and Elinor transformed into human appearance! Also, triplets 's spell broke then.

Her betrothals returned back to thier own countries by Fungus's excuse. Merida, Elinor, Fungus and triplets lived happily ever after.

I felt that the last transfomation scene was the similar to that of 'Beauty and Beast'. I think that Disney theme to break the spell is expressing 'I love you'. It was an interesting book! I'd like to see the movie too!                                                                                            
                                                                                                        see you next time.....

BRAVE WEEK5

Hi, it is getting cold and  cold!! Especially evening and night is too cold. I don't think that I can bear winter weather. Anyway,

~BRAVE~
In the archery contest, all suitors failed to shot  the target, but Wee Dingwall could hit the mark miraculously despite that he was seemed that he had never practiced a bow and arrow. His family was so glad becasue he won a position to marry to Princess Merida. However, Merida appeared the crowd with her bow and arrow, and shot the target easily. Everyone was shocked and then Queen Elinor walked to Merida and reproved the princess.

Queen and Merida moved to a room where there was a family tapestry and they talked what they wanted to understand each other, but finally they got into a quarrel. Merida rushed out of her castle with her hourse, Angus. At last, she was in the forest and  found some blue lights, so she followed them and reached to a thatched cottage where an old woman who could grant any wishes. Merida negotiate the old witch to be granted her wish, but the woman rejected at the beginning. Therefore, Merida suggested that she bought the all carving commodities in the cottage and then the witch grant one wish. The witch accepted it and asked Merida's only one wish. Merida answered that she wanted her mother!


I was excited when I was reading the archery contest scene and meeting with the old witch. But  I  really want Merida and Queen to reconcile. By the way, I 'm interested in how Merida's mother would change after.
                                                                                            see you next time.......

BRAVE WEEK4

Hi, it's hot weather despite it is in October! I don' t know when I should chage my clothes.
Ok.....

~BRAVE~
One morning, the clan lords' firstborn sons, Macintosh, MacGuffin and Wee Dingwall came into DunBroch Harbor and arrived Merida's castle. Merida dressed up and appeared with her parents. Queen Elinor and King Fergus carefully talked with the suitors because they had to choose a good husband for their beloved daughter. However, the suitors got into a scuffle among them. King Fergus was excited and joined in the fight. Queen Elinor was disgusted and stopped it. Then, Merida proposed that the suitors should compete by archery to marry her. All the members agreed to the suggestion. An archery contest started!


I don't think that Merida get married to one of the suitors easily because she was neither interested in suitors nor marriage. I think that she is going to do surprising action to stop her marriage because she suggested an archery contest. As you know, she was good at an archery.

BRAVE WEEK3

     Hi. October has come! It's so fast isn't it? And it's getting cold, so I should change to a different set of clothing in this weekend. Anyway...

                                                                                  
~BRAVE~
Merida had grown up an active and inquisitive princess. She liked riding hourse and practcticing on her bow and arrow. Although the princess was getting to be braver and braver, her mother ( Queen) did not feel good because she thought that a princess should have behaved elegantly. Thus, the Queen kept giving lessson for being a head of the country to her daughter. However Merida was bored with the age-old custom.

One day, Merida sliped out her castle and stepped into the forest with her horse,Angus.Then, she found notches in the rock for her hands and feet and began to climb. Hand over hand, she slowly pulled herself up to the Crone's Tooth. As the sun passed over the mountains, a shaft of sunlight hit the waterfall next to the Crone's Tooth. This was the Fire Fall she'd heard about in ancient stories and songs.

She went back her home with exciting. At the dinner table, she quarreled with her mother because the queen forced Merida to get married to her betrothed. Merida couldn't accept the sudden marriage.


I'm sorry that Merida is not able to choose her way of living because she is a 'princess'. Also, she never wanted to marriage. But I don't feel that she follow her parents and get married. I'm looking forward to reading next.
