Animal United is a 2010 animated movie that is directed by Reinhard Kloos and Holger Tappe, and starring James Corden as the voice of Billy, Stephen Fry as the voice of Socrates, Billie Piper as the voice of Bonnie, Mischa Goodman as the voice of Billy’s son Junior, Dawn French as the voice of Angie, Joanna Lumley as the voice of Giselle, Sean Schemmel as the voice of Rhinoceros Biggie, Marc Thompson as the voice of Waterbuffalo Chino, Jason Griffith as the voice of Chimpanzee Toto, and Andy Serkis as the voice of Charles. This movie is produced by Constantin Film, and runs about 93 minutes.

All of animals want water to drink. In the place where they live, there is a little water and it not enough to drink, because so many animals need the water. Meanwhile, an animals names Billy tries to get some water for his son, Junior. However, the water supply is more and more decrease, and Billy cannot get the water. Because of that, Junior feel disappointed with his father.

One day, the animals gather together to discuss about their precarious situation. Billy say that he ever find cool water that trapped way up in leopard canyon, by the massive stones, that is built by humans. After they listen to Billy’s explanation  then they plan to go to that place to free up the water. Then, it is a chance for Billy to proof that he is a good father for Junior.

 I think this is a good movie, which is we can learn about togetherness, and solidarity. In this movie, the animals act like human. I like this movie because it can amuse me through the act of animals. The visual effect in this movie is interesting and looks like real. There are also many kind of languages in this movie, so that audiences can learn those languages while they are watching. However, there are too many songs in this movie, because I think the songs are not necessary.

In conclude, I think this movie is recommended for all ages, especially for children. In this movie, children can learn many things, such as work together, patience, and help each other. This movie can also amuse the children through the scenes, because children usually prefer to watch this kind of movie. By watching this movie, children can learn to love animals. According to me, the moral value in this movie is do not wait for something coming to you, instead you should try to reach it.

Song Review

Title                  : We Will Not Go Down

Singer               : Michael Heart

Composer        : Michael Heart

Year                 : 2008 - 2009

This song is written by Michael Heart in 2008. Michael Heart is a composer and singer from America. He was born in Syria, and has a real name, Annas Allaf, whereas, Michael Heart is his stage name. He grows up in Swiss, Austria, Middle East, and America.

In 2008, Heart begins to write a song, ‘We Will Not Go Down’, which is inspired by a tragedy  that happen in Gaza, Palestine which is Moslems people are murdered by Jewish people from Israel. He serves this song freely in his private sites, but he suggests to donate for Gaza through United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

This song tells about war that happens in Gaza between Palestine (Moslems people) and Israel (Jewish people). Jewish massacre almost all of Moslems people in Palestine, and destroy many buildings there. There is nothing remains, but a spirit to defend their religion, Islam. It is pictured from these lyrics:

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

The lyrics in this song make people feel sympathy toward the tragedy that happens in Palestine. This song also makes other Muslims love their religion. It makes Muslims people in Palestine keep spirit to fight Israel. The lack in this song is, Michael only uses two instruments. I think it will be better if he uses more than two instruments.

To sum up, I think it is a good song especially for Muslims people whereas Jewish people purposes to destroy Muslims people as mentioned in Koran, Jewish people will never happy until Muslims people join their religion. I like this song because this is a song that is dedicated for Islam.

My Experience in Writing 2

In this semester, we study writing 2 with two lecturers, Mrs. Lina and Mr. Moh. Ansyar. In this essay, I will tell about my experience when study writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina.

All of us study writing 2 with Mrs. Leni Marlina on Wednesday and Saturday. Mrs. Lina is a discipline lecturer, I think. In writing 2 we study about narrative essay, discussion essay, and review text. We study about how to write a good essay. I think write a good essay is difficult, because we should pay attention to the grammar and make it coherence between the paragraph.

Mrs. Lina is a responsible lecturer, I think. She never get absent to class, even though she a little bit late. In addition, she is also will allow us to come to class even though we are late for a few minutes. She is also an explicit lecturer. During writing 2, we are ordered to make a few types of text, such as experience in writing 2, narrative text, discussion text, and review text.

After we make our essay, then we asked comments from our friends. Then, we have to make revisions until our essay is perfect. After our essays are perfect, we publish it into our blog. Then, after our essays are published into blog, we asked comments from our friends.

From all of my essays, I prefer narrative text as my best essay so far. To write this essay, I through many struggles. At the first time, I wrote a narrative based on a story that I read when I was in senior high school, because I heard that Mrs. Lina allowed us to write it. Actually, I was misunderstanding about it. Mrs. Lina said that I am a thief and a plagiary  I was sad to hear that. For the first time, I gave up and did not want to continue it again, but I think again. I should make a narrative that is based on my imagination. Finally, I can write it without plagiarize from anywhere.

In concussion  in writing 2 with Mrs. Lina, I have through many experiences to make a good essay. Even though Mrs. Lina is a discipline and explicit lecturer, I know she do that to our beneficence. In this semester, I hope that I will get a good value. Even though I just get B, I will feel happy with it.

Writing 2             

My Experience in Writing 1

When I studied writing 1 in last semester, I have experience about the material and the lecturers. The material are explained step by step. The first meeting we studied about descriptive text. We started the class at seven. The lecturer was stand by and I got late when the first meeting start. Because of that, the lecturer was angry to me. He said that students in college must not be late. I felt dejected because it  first time we met, but already got angry and got a critical. After the lecturer gave me a critical, then he continued the material.

We studied writing 1 twice a week, on Monday and Tuesday. Every Tuesday I often came late, because in the night I stayed up late, of course I also often got angry.sometimes,I hope that the lecturer would not come on Tuesday. Actually, I felt bore to studied writing 1 on Tuesday because the lecturer was fussy.

On Monday, we studied writing 1 with mr. Hafiz ,and I never came late. Mr. hafiz also explained the material step by step. After he explained the material, he gave us an assignment. Sometimes I felt bore because he gave us  many assignments. It is not because I’m lazy,but too many assignments made me stress. I thought my friends also felt the same way as I was.

My Hope in Writing 2

I hope by studying writing 2, I get A in this semester and understand about all material. I hope that material explain step by step ,so that all of us can understand it very well. Of course, I hope the lecturers are not fussy like last semester.I hope the lecturers explain the material not too fast,and I hope the lecturers not give too many assignments for us. I hope in this semester my writing better than writing 1. I hope so that I do not come late anymore and study hard more. I also hope that  I can be a writer in the future, and I hope my dream comes true.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wearing Uniform in Schools

Almost every school in the world orders the students to wear uniform. Wearing uniform has been settled by government and the students must follow the rule. Yet, it seems like not all of the students agree with the rule. Even, some students think that uniform will burdened them, but other students think that it will give positive effect. Thus, the advantages and disadvantages of wearing uniform in schools will be discussed in this essay.

Now, let us start about the advantages of wearing uniform in schools. By wearing uniform, the students will be seen more neat and polite. The uniform can make students’ live simpler, and they would no longer have to decide what to wear every morning. The students who wear uniform will more concerns to their school and lesson. The uniform can make students fell more proud of their school and consider that the school is a special place for learning.

In addition, wearing uniform can reduce violence in school. According to a recent survey in Hillsborough County, Florida, incidents of school violence dropped by 50 per cent, attendance and test scores improved, and students’ suspensions declined approximately 30 per cent after school uniforms were introduced. By wearing uniform the status of students will be equal right, and there will not be seen differences among rich students and poor students. Wearing uniform also will useful to keep reputation of the school. The students will look well-ordered, neat, and more discipline with uniform. Wearing uniform also can differentiate the levels of the schools.

On the other hand, the students who wear uniform cannot express their own style. Without uniform, there will be seen difference status among rich students and poor students. For instance, rich students feel like they have higher social status through their clothes. For this reason, they often bully other students who do not have as nice dress as them. This thing can make affray among the students. As a consequence, it will unsettle students in the school, and disturb learning process.

Moreover, wearing uniform will become pressure for the students especially for poor students, because they must spend much money to buy it. Besides, if the students do not wear uniform, they will look not neat, instead unorganized. Also, it will not be seen uniformity among students. Without uniform, the students may over dress. Even, they will more concern to their appearance rather than their lesson. At last, if the students over dress, it will make their school be ridiculed by society, because the school will be seen like a playground rather than a school.

In conclude, there are many advantages and disadvantages of wearing uniform in schools. In one hand, by wearing uniform, will make the students have equal level. It also will reduce violence in school. In other side, wearing uniform can make pressure to the students, because they have to spend much money. They also cannot express their own style. However, it depends on the schools, whether the students are ordered to wear uniform or not. According to me, it will be better if the schools order the students to wear uniform, because it will be seen more polite, neat, and well-ordered. It also will make equal level among rich students and poor students.
