UNEXPECTED LIFE EXPERIENCE

All over the world there are so many people who are extremely rich and very successful in their business life. However, in spite of everything that they have something which come from their past may disturb them so they can feel alone. Can you imagine this situation? Lets think about Nicolas who is the main character in The game. He is so successful and wealthy that he can come by everything that he wants. However, his past is always with him so he is always unhappy. In his 48th birthday, his brother Conrad prepares to him an unforgettable birthday party which will change his life and his perspective of life so I believe that this is a game because of some reasons which make me think like this.
Firstly, as I said before, he is so successful in his business life but in his private life, there are something which make him unhappy and alone. In particularly, he can never forget forget his father death. His father committed suicide on his 48th birthday and now Nicolas is on his 48th birthday,too so his brother wants to change Nicola’s monotonous life and he organizes a game for him to make his life funnier and more meaningful and more active so all of the arrangements are regulated by Conrad so we can conclude from these things that it is a game.
The second point, when he goes to company which is called for ‘Consumer Recreation Services’, they say that it is a profound life experience so its aim is to give them a different and strange life. In addition to it, some testes are made on the Nicolas in the company in order to find out his life, his emotional situation and his subconscious so thanks to these test results, they can organize the game. Also everything is arranged so faultless that there is no problem while playing the game so we can find out from these things that it is a game, not real.
The third point, there are some strange events in the film.For example, while he is watching the news on TV, speaker on TV starts to communicate with him via television. If we believe that it is not a game, is there anyone who can explain this situation? If it is real, we should admit that a person and another person who is in TV can communicate with each other. It is ridiculous, isn’t it? Also, at the end of the film, Nicolas shots his brother by mistake but Conrad doesn’t die because this is the part of the game, too so we can understand from the these samples that it is a game, not real. And the last and the most important thing, Conrad confesses that this is a game and with this confession, we completely understand that there is a no doubt about it. Some people argue may argue that this is not a game. On the contrary to it, they believe that it is a real thing. However, they should find out that his every action and every incidents that he comes across are the part of the game and all of these things are planned by Conrad. For example, they guess Nicola’s suicide after he shots his brother and if this action isn’t planned and isn’t guessed, Nicolas certainly dies but they can save his life because this is the part of the game, too so we can conclude these findings, it is a game.
In conclusion, our past is part of our life. Maybe, we can’t espace our from it but if we depend on our past, it may harm us. Also, we should know value of our life and we should keep our eyes open because we can’t bring back moments that we lived. Also, maybe we can have everything that we want such as lots of money, houses, cars and a perfect career. If we always think about the past and if we can’t catch on the moments and finally if we don’t expect any positive things from our future, we can’t take pleasure from the things that we have so don’t think about the past, don’t worry about the future, live the moment…

Firstly, I want a husband who will certainly remain loyal to me.He must love me so much that he can not see any woman who tries to attrack his attention.Needless to say, men are not aware of the beautiful women around them because they are so faithful to their spouses.I know that he will never interested in them but he must be careful against beautiful and attractive women who may be dangerous.Also, my husband must think that the most beautiful woman in the world is my wife and ,of course, he must be romantic.In addition to them,the most important thing that he will not forget our special days such as my birthday,our marriage anniversy,Valentina Day and something like that.Of course,he must give some special gifts with my favourite flowers.Also, I want a husband who makes me surprised.

The third point,I want o husband who will respect my social life.After a tiring week,when I go to sport center in order to get rid of my stress and be relax,he will stay at home and take care of our children.Also, he must know that I sometimes need to go out alone.For example, when I go out with my friends, he can watch his important football match with his friends in our home.Of course,he will let me go out without him because men never look another woman ,in other word,their eyes can’t see any woman even if they are so beautiful and attractive so he will not feel uncomfortable when I go out with my friends. In addition,I want a husband who can decide spontaneously.For example,if I go to cinema with him,he immediately accept my offer even if there is a really important football match in TV.
The last point, I want a husband who likes listening to me whatever I say.He mustn’t complain while I’m speaking even if my subjects are simple and small things.And,of course,he will never get bored me.Also.my husband must like shopping with me so much.He must be patient and full of love towards me and I want a husband who doesn’t give importance money so I can buy eveything that I want.

UNEXPECTED EXPERIENCE

That day was one of the most unforgettable days in my life .In fact, everything seemed normal at the beginning of the day. When I got up, I heard the sound of birds which were soaring below our apartment. They gave me a great deal of energy so I thought that that day something would make me happy. Also, I felt depressing hot. It was a usual summer day for me.
I started to prepare immediately in order to catch up my lesson. However, something make me disturb before I left the home. I couldn’t understand why I felt like that. During the day, my feelings increased in an incredible way. After a tiring day, while returning to my home from the school I suddenly found out that the sky was almost red and then I noticed that dogs were barking without stopping. At that moment, I understood everything on the grounds that red sky, dogs which were barking non-stop and my instincts were sings for us. A great severe earthquake was about to occur. However, it was so late because as soon as I found out the reality of everything that occurred during the day, the ground started to shake in a sudden way.
I was in the kitchen when the terrifying shaking started. I can still hear the sounds of plates which fell down to the ground. Plates fell down so fast that I found out my desperate situation at that moment. When I opened my eyes, everything was very silent. In fact, I could not understand what happened but after deeply thinking, I noticed that I was under the landslide. Where were the others? My mom, my dad and my little brother? We were together only two minutes ago but now I didn’t have any information about them. Did they die or were they alive? I was about to go out of my mind. It wasn’t a nightmare. It was completely real and terrifying. I had difficulty with breathing. The only thing that I wanted to be rescued and be reunited with my sweet and warm family. I needed to hear a voice but there was not. I could feel that I was about to lose my conscious because of hunger, thirsty and the weight of concrete. I couldn’t understand how the days passed since I didn’t have the concept of night and daytime. I heard some voices and I could not believe whether these sounds were real or not. I didn’t remember the rest of my survival war because I passed out. When I came to, I were lying on the bed in a hospital. When I asked to nurse what happened to me, she said that I had stayed under landslide in six days and then rescue team saved me from deadly wreckage.
After six terrible days under landslide, I couldn’t believe that I was alive. As soon as I wake up, my eyes searched for my family. Where were they? I saw so many people who were crying noisily and all of them were looking around their family members hopelessly. In fact, I found out that I was alone anymore. However, I didn’t want to believe it but I had to get accustomed to their absence because they died. I will never forget at that moment when I learned their dead. Since those sorrowful days, whenever I see a news about earthquake, I looked back and that days give me a great deal of pain. No matter how I try to forget, I can not manage to this. However, I know I have to get accustomed to live with the memory of those dark and painful days.

All over the world,there are many different types of serious illnesses such as cancer,diabetic,psoriasis,leukemia etc.Also,there are many types of treatment methods.Have you ever heard Laught Therapy?It is a kind of treatment method.It means laughing and looking to world in a pozitive way can cure your ailments.According to my opinion,besides medical treatment,these kind of methods are necessary to cure ourselves.
There are many serious illnesses that can be cured not only by medical treatment but also can be cured by looking to everyting that is included in your life in a pozitive way.For instance,I can give the example of cancer patients.Cancer is a very serious disease that affects both our body and our mind.In order to cure it,doctors use different kind of treatments.However,besides this,people who are cancer should think pozitively because pozitive emotions produce pozitive changes in their body.I think we should not ignore this method.
Also,if you don’t believe me,you can search Norman Cousins’s Laugh Therapy.He was well-known writer and editor.Unfortunately,he became seriously ill.His ailment was ankylosing spond and doctors said he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival.However,he hadn’t given up.He was determined to live.In addition to medical treatment,he made a receipt by himself.Everyday,he watched comedy films,read humorous books and did these kind of activities.Finally he recovered within a few months.Also,his doctors supported his idea.Can you see the power of his Laugh Therapy?
There is one more example for you.One of my friends was leukemia.Her parents and relatives were so sorry for her and her situation gave them pain.However,she never was hopeless.On the contrary to this,she was determined to overcome her ailment.She was full of pozitive emotions towards life.Finally medical treatment and her perspective of life paid off.She fortunately recovered.I must say that even in those dark times,she always smiled because she knew that if she thinks negatively,negative changes will increase in her body.
To sum up,there are many people who overcame their illnesses by looking to world pozitively like Norman Cousins and my friend.Two examples show that besides medical treatment,we should do something different to overcome our ailments.Laughing,loving people and everything,looking to life in a pozitive way are some of them.Maybe,we can cure ourselves…

NEVER GIVE UP (compare and contrast paragraph about 2 films)

All of us encounter with people who have different obstacles in our lives.There are so many people with obstacles so it is inevitable for us not to coming across with them.When we look at them at first,we are sorry for them and sometimes their situations give us pain.However,there are some people that change our perception of handicapped people like Hellen Keller and Frank McCourt.Angela’s Ashes is a movie that tells us Frank McCourt’s tormented life.The Miracle Worker is a movie that tells us Hellen Keller’s life.After I watched both of them,Angela’s Ashes affected me much more than The Miracle Worker.The reason of this,Frank McCourt’s life is full of different obstacles.He lives in a dilapidated house with his family.His parents especially his father can’t do anything for their children.As a result,some of their children die because of hunger and different kind of illnesses.I think these are the most powerful and impressive scenes.Also,besides his financial problems,he suffers from emotional problems.He suffers from hunger,shame and meager.However,he always yearns for a beter life.In order to achieve it,he works in different jobs.As a result,he finds some money and decides to go to America.According to my opinion,Liberity Monument is a symbol is his freedom.He succees in escaping from his obstacles.Although Frank McCourt and Hellen Keller have different types of obstacles,they are same in some ways.Firstly,both of them never give up.Also,in spite of their limitations,they can manage to push their limits.They are always hopefull.I think it must be lesson for us who don’t have handicap or obstacles.Besides their similarities,their obstacles are different.As I said,Frank McCourt suffers from poverty and emotional problems.However,Helen Keller suffers from physical and emotional problems.She is both blind and deaf.Because of her physical situation,she doesn’t aware of outside,sounds and words.With the help of her tutor,she becomes aware of the words.She relates the things with words.I must say that her tutor is a very patient person.The scenes that she tries to teach something in a big deal of patient are so impressive.Now,I ask to you.If we were in their shoes,what would we do?Would be hopefull like them in spite of these obstacles?Would we overcome?I think we should think about that.These films are guide for us.The world is not a easy place for everyone but in order to simplify it,we can do something,can’t we?
