LARRY

Reflection of //__District 9__// The movie District 9 is set in a place where human lives with aliens. In 1990, an alien spaceship landed in South Africa. After the human discovered the spaceship, they waited in nervous for a long time. Finally, they opened it and found that there are thousands of sick prawn aliens inside. The government took care of them and gave them a big land to live, District 9. As time goes by, the amount of “prawns” increases and starts to affect the human’s daily life. Therefore, the MUN (Union of world) decides to relocate them to somewhere remote. The main character, Sharlto Copley injected the fluid of aliens during the move and got inflected accidently. MNU wants to cut him for experimental use because Copley is the one who successfully changed into a prawn. In the end, Copley helped the prawns retake the fluid and sent them back home. From the novel //Anthem// written by Ayn Rand, people are controlled by the council are very simple and believes in their “brothers”. They do whatever they are ordered to do just like a machine. Just like the “prawns” in the movie, a person from the sinister gang said after killed an alien, “These stupid prawns believe everything.” This proves that this kind of trust to human is the most dreadful reason which made them do nothing and be discriminated by human for 28 years on Earth. Same for //Anthem//, the people believes whatever the council says and stopped from developing. Another similarity between Anthem and District 9 is that both of them are very stubborn and against the reality. Ayn Rand set the background of the novel in a place where the council hides the history and high-technology things. Also, the law banned them to mention the Rebirth, but the leaders of the council still assists it even thought it doesn’t work. Turning to the movie, there are many kinds of powerful weapons leftover by the aliens. Unfortunately, only the prawns can use them. That is the reason why MUN wants Copley to use them. Although they know human’s DNA are not suit for these weapons, they still keeps trying and wants to break the law. In order to succeed, human kill lots of aliens, same as what the council did to hide the history. The main character Equality in Anthem is similar to the clever alien Johnson, the only one who tries to save his men. Equality did a lot of things that are banned, and fought against the rules to find the reality. He is individual, different with his believable brothers. In the District 9, the general prawns looked for food every day. However, the one who collects resource to make the fluid (a material to start the spaceship) in the 28 years time is Johnson. He has clear objective to save his men and the only individual one. At first, Copley is very rude and violent to the aliens. When he turned into a prawn, all of the human refuses to help him and hate him. Going through this, he gave up his arrogance and helped the prawns. Maybe discrimination comes from the public and everyone doesn’t like to be excluded, so they would go with what others do. Sometime, changing perspectives would be a good way to avoid it.

I.P. If I given a important person to talk about, that person must be my grandma, the pillar of the family. And she is the person who raised five grandchilds up, including me. I don't have any memory about my grandpa and my family was so poor many years ago. It is my grandma to support the whole family and feed her four childs. She is also a very selfless woman who be full of love for everyone. Sixteen year ago, I got a fever in the midnight. My grandma brought me to the city hospital and walked six kilometres. Unfortunatly, she broke her right arm when passing through the mountain. From that day, she can never hold five fingers together and feel painful in the rainy day. She always taught me a lot of positive principles. And she is just a light for me, a exploring ship, to lead me to the right way in the whole life. Ineed, she also kept some feudal ideology and use some body punishment during teaching. In concluding, this is the important person who acted as a mother in my childwood! Larry Septmeber 4th, 2011

Larry went across the bridge. He took a taxi. He rushed into a ICBC. He shout to the worker in a high voice. “Give me money!!!” He put his hand into his coat. The security personnel came close to him. He took out a VISA and gave it to the worker. “By using this card.”

One day, Larry went across the Haizhu Bridge fastly with a serious expression. He waved his left hand and took a taxi who named Baiyun to the ICBC. Then he rushed into the ICBC at high speed as the taxi stopped in haste. He shout to the worker in a high voice which was heard like with lots of anger, “Give me money!!!” He put one hand into his black coat to touch the pocket which swelled in the middle, that action attracted all of the people’s attention. The only security personnel came close to him carefully while be ready to take out the handgun and he turned on the intercom. Intersting, he took out a VISA quickly and gave it to the worker, he said in a crying voice, “By using this card, and… excuse me, where is the washroom?”
