Snow Day Poem

Happy Snow Day

There is a wonderful holiday only happens in winter

It is the holy snow day

Check your email every morning before classes

Maybe you have a snow day!

Enjoy the hot chocolate, the snowman and the snow angel in the day

There will be no class, no sports and no tests

Be free to stay up late in this sleepy holiday

And have fun in playing snow at the freezing weather

Even though it is inconvenient, dirty and slippery, it is joyful to have a free day in home for students

Enjoy yourself in the white snow, and happy snow day! 

Movie Summary: The Judge

There are so many movies in the world these days, but only of few of them can really touch people's feeling. The Judge is one of those good movies. It is a movie that describes not only the story but the people in the story.

In the movie, it tells a story about Hank Palmer. Hank works as a lawyer in city. He has great talent about this job, he wins many trails for his clients. But he is not a good lawyer, he works mostly for money. So he willing to defense for bad people against justice and gets a great deal of money for return. Because of this, Hank has a bad relationship with his father Joseph Palmer, who is the judge of Hank's hometown. Hank's father is the opposite of him, Joseph Palmer is the most loyalty person to the law. He works as a judge, but none of his cases are judged wrong. He also helps those people who made mistake continue their lives. Because all of judge Joseph Palmer's good works, he has great reputation in the town.

But suddenly, Hank's mother passes away. Hank has to go back to his hometown for the funeral. At the funeral, Hank meets his father, but both of them treat each other like strangers. Then judge Joseph is charged for killing a pervasive defendant. Hank's brother convinces Hank to defense his father. In the process, Hank and his father have a lot conflicts. For example, Hank think law is nothing, so he can lie, trick and fake in the court to get his father not guilty. But his father thinks law is the every thing, if there are enough evidence to judge him guilty, then he will admit his guilty. In the processes of investigation, Hank knows more about his father. He overcomes the biggest struggles that goes with him for a long time: why his father never pays attention(Love) to him. Then he knows that his father is actually loves him, more than anyone else. His father keeps Hank away because he does not want Hank become a bad person like the defendant. After being for a long time with his father, Hank releases that his father is the most and very integrity. Hank changes a lot in this event. When he comes back to city, he is not the lawyer who willing to help bad people escape from judgements. He becomes justice and integrity just like his father.

So the story of The Judge is about Hank and his father in this murder case. But the movie pay attention to Hank as a person. There are many scenes that describes the conflicts between Hank and his father, as well as the struggling of Hank. At the end, Hank changes to a person like his father, he learns many things from his father and inherits from his father. It is one of the best movies I saw last year.
