- Diary 2: Crazy Handful of Nothing I am sorry to be a spoiler of the show, if you have not watched Breaking Bad and planning to do so, you should not read my diary.
I have to say Breaking Bad brings me fantastic experience of watching shows again. In Episode 6, Season 1, there is a huge turnover of Walter's character, from the good and moral high school teacher, to a slippery drug dealer Heisenberg, the name comes from a great person in Chemistry History. There are details in this episode are so amazing when you notice them. First, the title of the episode is crazy handful of nothing, when the family play cards together, Walter decides to put all of his bet in when he actually has nothing good in his hand. However, it scares off Hank, his brother in law, give up his winning cards. Hank's wife looked at Walter's card and said: " a handful of nothing". This scene is just a little metaphor of what happens to Walter's next move. Drug dealers are crazy, especially the new local dealer Tuco is extremely violent. At the end of the episode, he made a deal with Tuco by a small chemistry trick, he wins 50 grand dollars with a bag of chemistry product which is the "crazy handful of nothing". The important thing for the whole story is the shift from "Walter" to "Heisenberg". "Walter" represents the weak part of him, with a head of knowledges but he can not actually use those to make his life vivid, he is forced to do extra work by some car wash boss and disrespected by his students in school. In contrast, " Heisenberg" is obviously a tricky fox, he uses whatever he gets to hide from police and extract money from drug dealers, chemistry is his capital, but the fundamental of his success comes from his skills of convincing others.
December 2, 201700 - Diary 1 Okay, this is just a common day. I get bored because I have finished all the lectures and labs in this first semester in University, and I am supposed to review for my final exams. However, I am not working on that because I am watching Breaking Bad again. So I start with the first season, different with the first time I watched it, now this time I don't actually need those substitles for me anymore. I always love the plot of breaking bad, people are all on the edge, you will not expect what they would do in next step. You can tell that from first episode, a good high school teacher teaching for decades all of sudden he decides to sell drugs. People can change their long term fixed lifestyle in a quick period just by "a little push", here it is lung cancer. Walter must be confused that why he did all the right things and he does not even smoke and he ends up like this. Life always makes jokes on you, make you feel like you are ridiculous doing whatever you are doing, and even you want to change it, after all, you are still you, nothing has changed. Things trouble you may follow you the entire life, sometimes the best option is to embrace yourself and keep positive with everything. For Walter White, he wants to see how far he can go without all the strains, and he is actually capable of "cooking" meth. I am so shocked when he talks about chemistry because it is one of my favorate course, and the things he talks about, sounds basic, but I have never learned that yet in my first year of University, and the topics he talks about in his high school lecture, that's our content in first year University. I always consider Walter White as one of my chemistry teacher because he has knowledges and he can do cool stuff with knowledges, that's the point of studying, right?December 1, 201730
首演莎士比亚戏剧“错误喜剧”的场地
这座建筑被称为“大厅”,始建于1560年。这是1594年首演莎士比亚戏剧“错误喜剧”的场地。第二次世界大战期间,大厅遭到严重破坏,但已被恢复。
我们现在站在格雷旅馆广场的花园里。花园的现在设计是从上个世纪开始,但最初的设计师是弗朗西斯·培根爵士,这位设计师在四百多年前就把樱桃树,桦树和榆树种植了在这个地区里。在西面的一个露台上,有一个建筑在丘上的亭子,一个保龄球场和一个厨房花园。这个设计在18世纪中期被着名的花园设计师布朗先生简化了。
二百年前,著名詩人雪萊正在債務嚴重。他星期天一个星期天,他秘密地用來見他未來的妻子瑪麗,因為那是當週的債務人不能被逮捕的唯一一天。
花園西面的這些建築物正在同一時間建成。深灰色的建筑被命名为雷蒙德大厦。查尔斯·狄更斯还在内部担任律师事务所,每周赚取先令15先令。他很无聊因为无聊,他通过将樱桃石放在路人的头上而自豪取乐。
This building is called 'the Hall', it dates from 1560. It was the venue for the first performance of Shakespeare's play, A Comedy of Errors in 1594. The Hall was badly damaged in the Second World War, but has since been restored.
We are now standing in the garden of Gray's Inn Square. The present design of the garden is from the last century, but the original designer was Sir Francis Bacon who planted the area with cherry trees, birch trees and elms more than four hundred yeatrs ago. On a terrace to the west, there was a mount with a pavilion , a bowling green and a kitchen garden. The design was simplified in the mid-1700s by the famous garden designer Mr Brown.
Two hundred years ago the famous poet Shelley was severely in debt。He secretly used to meet his future wife Mary here on Sundays, because that was the only day of the week when debtors could not be arrested.
These buildings on the west side of the garden were being built around the same time. The dark grey ones are named Raymond Buildings. Charles Dickens also worked inside as a solicitor's clerk, earning 15 shillings a week. Utterly bored, he amused himself by dropping cherry stones on the heads of passers-by.0 votedOctober 27, 20170- Taylor Swift new song! I just listened to Taylor Swift 's new song Gorgeous. Unlike first two dark style songs in this new music album, gorgeous is more comfortable and nifty, such as the child's voice at the beginning. I feel sweet listening to her voice. When I listen to what you made me do and ready for it, I thought the whole music album would be in dark styles. I am pleasantly surprised by Gorgeous, feels like the old Taylor from her 1989. Taylor Swift you are gorgeous.
Could you please correct my novel if there's anything wrong and uncomfortable to read. I'm looking for a english native speaker partner to practice my speaking skills and I am a Chinese native speaker, if anyone is learning Chinese, I would also be happy to help!
October 27, 201710 - New Comer Hello, this is my first time using italki. I was excited when I found this website since it feels great to have someone correct my journal. I have learned English since I was 6 or 7 years old but still I make a lot of mistakes in grammar and the way I use words. I have been to Canada for three years and I feel like I am just gaining more and more vocabularies but I do not actually communicate with other native speakers a lot. So I just want to try something new to improve my English in many ways.Anyways, I am a first year student of University of Toronto and just want to say hello to this community!October 26, 201700
