The ending of Peter Pan

In my opinions I think the Peter Pan show have a good ending. The reason i say that is because in the end Peter Pan kill captain Hook and safe Wendy and her brother, everybody was safe and the best think is Peter can come and visit Wendy one a year. Finally everyboday was safe and happy so i think the Peter Pan show have the good ending.

                                                         Peter Pan review.
 First, I just went to the Peter Pan show because of the assignment, because I had never watched a play like this before and I thought it was really boring, but when I got there and watched I changed my mind. The play was very good, everything was set up perfectly, the music, the light, and when they were changing the scenes everything was setup perfect. When I was watching the play I felt like I was watching the professionals, not students at Cheshire Academy. They made people laugh a lot, that including me.
       The play is about Peter Pan. Is the teenager boy who can fly and never grows up. He just likes to play and enjoy the life. Peter Pan life in neverland, but one times he and his friend Tinkerbell was flying and playing around and get lost. They went in the house and get caught by somebody. They run away but Peter Pan lost his shadow in that house. So a few day letters they decided to come back and get the shadow. When they come back, they met a girls name Wendy. Wendy was very surprise of what Peter Pan can do. They talk a night and become friend and then Peter Pan decided to teach Wendy how to fly and invited Wendy to Neverland to hangout with her, but Wendy doesn’t want to leave alone so he call John and Michael who is Wendy brother to come along. When they come to Neverlanf they have a really good time together. But Peter Pan life is not just among friend. He a very big enemy who is captain Hook the scary parrot. He really hate Peter; he looking for Peter everyday to kill him, the reason why captain Hook hate Peter so much is because Peter is the guys who make Hook lost one hand. One day Wendy and their brother missing home and want to come back. Peter Pan didn’t like it but he have to let them go home. In the way home captain Hook get them because he know they are Peter friend and Peter will come and safe them, so they can get Peter. In Hook plant Peter come to safe his friend. Peter and Hook get into a big fight, in the end Peter push Hook into the sea and the crookerdia kill him. Peter bring his friend home and he promise to comeback one a year to visit Wendy.
     This is my fist time seeing a play like this in real life and is change my though about it. Before I think is really boring and not funny but after the show I really like it. If I have a change to watch other show like this and would definably go and watch it.

                                      Sookan life in America.
         Sookan life America is being very normal. She still has to go to the

dining to work to be able to keep her scholarship. She still have to do

baby-siting for Ms. Bennett in her free time, to make her own pocket

money so she can have money to going to the movie or going shopping

with her friend. Ellen and Marci is still her best friend in school because

Sookan meet them everyday, Ellen is her roommate and Marci room is

this next to Sookan room, and they are really close to each other, they

always helping each other out even through they share a different

personality. In Christmas no matter where they are they still remember to

buy other person a gifs, Marci, Ellen and Ms. Bennett is the most

important people for Sookan in America. There is only one thing that

Sookan worry about is her classes they she take mostly is European

history, the class that she doesn’t what to take because she think her

English is not good enough to take this class. But I think she can do it

because she is the hard worker like her mom. She going to the library

everyday even though she is very busy with all the work that she has and


the most important thing is she always have Marci and Ellen or even Mr.

Bennett that are negative speaker will always be more than welcome to

help her not just in History even help her to improve her English. So with

all the relationship that she has, she will be very successful in America.

 If she will be success and happy in America, there is no reason for her to

come back to Korean even though her family is all live in Korean, but in

America now Ms. Bennett family make she feel she has other family

beside her so she will feel warmer when she missing her own family and

make her not too homesick and come back to America, that will same

more money for her mom, because she do baby sitting at Mr. Bennett

house everyday than that will bring Sookan closer to Mr. Bennett family,

not just that Mr. Bennett cook something for Sookan or even in Christmas

she not forget to give Sookan a present In my opinions I think Sookan will

make more friend in the school year and maybe she will have a handsome

American boyfriend like Ellen. After Sookan graduate then she will come

back to Korean and bring all of her family to America then she will make

her own money to take care of her mom and her sister two people who

care about her the most because I think that is Sookan dream and that is

the reason why she come to America because she really love his mom the

person who never complain about anything to make money for her to

study in America, because in the story there is a since that Sookan just

want to come back to America to hug her mom and talk to her mom.

Fist come to America.

Same with Sookan, I have a really long flight to get to America. It took me 25 hour, the funny thing is I have to transport in Korea her country fist and then get to the America. On the air plane I really worry that,  how can I live with out my parent? how is the food there? is there any Vietnamese or only me and my brother is Vietnamese?. I also have a some question like Sookan, how can I make a new friend? Would they understand me? How can I keep up with them? Would they like my? Would I like them. I think all people who going to America to study will have the same worry, but I'm more lucky than Sookan because I have my mom and dad come with me for the frist week. When I come to the airport like Sookan I have to go to newyork city first, the airport was a lot huger than what I think people here is really different is have a lot of differnent multiethnic and a lot of people come to Americe. Only line up for entry is take me other hour.
