When Marnie Was There 4


 Today, I’d like to my favorite scene of “When Marnie Was There.”

The scene is that Anna, the lead role of this story, says to Sandra “Fat pig.” Sandra is just Anna’s neighbor not her friend. When they play cards, Sandra cheats and laughs secretly with another girl. When Anna tries to say something, Sandra interrupts it. And, Sandra says to Anna nastily “Call me what you like. I don’t care! I know what you look like, my road.” So, Anna looks at her scornfully, says “Fat pig” and turns to go out.  

Off course, we should not say bad things about other people, but I felt better when I read this scene. Anna is always trying to be a good girl and not saying what she thinks and wants, so I think it is good for her to say her real feeling even though it is not good words.

Anyway, this story was made into a movie of jiburi “omoide-no-Marnie”(思い出のマーニー). In the movie, “fat pig” is translated into “futoccho-buta(ふとっちょブタ).” I think the translation is nice and funny! 🐷

I would write that they can’t accept the illegitimate child, b...

Matilda week11

Today, I want to write my favorite scene of this story. Matilda, the lead role, is a girl genius; however, her parents don’t think so, rather, they think she is stupid. She likes reading books very much, so she asks them to give a book, but, her father tells it is silly to read books. She gets angry, and decides to pay him back. She puts glues his favorite hat with strong adhesive. He knows nothing about that and puts on the hat. Of course, he can’t take it off. He gets panic! Then, she says to him showing up with an innocent look “what’s the matter, Daddy? Has your head suddenly swollen or something?” I like her character. Her parents are not educational people, rather, child neglect; however, she tries to enjoy her life and never gives up the environment, such as the parents and the nasty principal. If I can be like her, I will make my days more exciting.
