  Dear ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk about what I have learned when I read this book. This book may seem a book for children. You may also think that it is just a fiction story. Nevertheless, it really is not just a book. It is a reflection of our lives. Our lives, thoughts and feelings are in this book. All of us have some “crazy moments” just as Don Quixote. Sometimes, people who are around us criticise our feelings, thoughts and actions as they did to Don Quixote in this book. Sometimes, people do not understand us and our feelings. We also have some “realistic moments” like Sancho Panza. We may realize that we have done some silly things. Although some of our actions are ridiculous, we may have fun and live the moment just like Sancho Panza. We all have different personalities and traits in ourselves. Sometimes our “Don Quixote personality” occurs and we try to follow our dreams. Sometimes our “Sancho Panza personality” occurs and we suddenly see that our d...

I have been walking for hours. I do not know where I am going. I even do not know my own purpose. I am confused a little bit. At least the bright sun is smiling and shining. I am in the middle of a strange, unfamiliar city at the very moment. I do not know anything about the city, their language, the people who lives here and their culture. One may think that I am in a very desperate condition. However, I do not feel like that. In my opinion, a strange city means a new environment and a new life which is about to start. I am a student in a well-known college. Therefore, I am here trying to find my home. I have just rent my new home. I mean, I have rent it two days ago. Unfortunately, I cannot find or remember where it is. Although I am in a weird situation, I can still enjoy my life, taking nice pictures of the new and the interesting city. Interestingly, I feel happy, not lost in a strange city. Suddenly, I encounter with one of my friends from the college. We start to have a ch...

  TOPIC: WHAT IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNEW WHAT YOU WERE THINKING? Everyone in this World knows what I am thinking at the very moment. Therefore, I should not think these now. However, I cannot stop thinking about the desperate circumstances. While each person in the street is listening -in other words reading- to me, unfortunately, I am not able to read anyone’s mind. The worst thing is, as I could not know about other people’s ideas, I have a hard time communicating with those strange, unfamiliar organisms. When I talk to someone, I cannot stop thinking about “what are they thinking about me and my personality”. Each time I forget that they can read or feel that idea in my mind, and everybody behaves according to my thoughts. I feel like I am deceived. Sometimes I feel as people around me form an unsafe forest. I am terribly lonely as a flower which tries to live in a crowded downtown. I am as desperate as a star which is far away from the other ones and miserable as a boo...
