A few days ago, I was sick and had time to think "whether I could post my writing product or not this week?"  I was very bored because of bed rest all the time. And began to feel the importance of maintaining healthy while I have many tasks like now.

RISK

11:35 AM by Dwi Arie Megawati
  Driving a car is an everyday activity, so most people don't think much about the risk. However sometimes terrible accidents occur, events that can injure or even kill people. Driving a car is perceived as safe (most of us don't worry when we get into a car). However, the actual risks of driving a car are high.

  Many people live in circumstances that create risk. However, different factors affect whether people worry about the risk. One factor is whether they see it as high risk versus low risk. Most people worry about risk only when there is a significant danger (when the risks become very high). Some risks are natural, such as bad weather or earthquakes. We cannot control these risks because we don't have the power to change the weather or stop earthquakes.

Vocabularies :

*Terrible           : Very unpleasant.
*Occur              : To happen.
*Perceived        : To notice or become aware of something.
*Circumstances : The conditions and facts are connected with and affect a situation, an event or an action.
*Versus            : Used to show that two teams or sides are against each other.
*Significant        : Large or important enough to have an effect or to be noticed.

The star of the game

3:16 PM by Dwi Arie Megawati
  On a fine afternoon after a heavy rain, my friends and I were ready to play basketball. When my friends and I  arrived at the court, the opponent team were already there. Seeing us approach the court, ignoring the soil around the court that was still wet from the rain. And suddenly… I slipped and fell on my butt in full view of every body. The pain was nothing compared to my embarrassment. I believe the whole court learned my name that day. What a way of becoming the star of the game!

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1

9:55 PM by Dwi Arie Megawati
     Last Thursday,  Me and my friends went to the cinema to watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1. Here is the following excerpts from the film, The movie lasts in 146 minutes long. The first section story filled by many unnecessary details in it, which makes the film feels like a movie with the actual short story but such a long stretch of time to make it longer.
     The story itself starts right where Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) ends, where Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), who is still in a state of mourning the death of his friend. At the same time his teacher Prof. Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon)and his friends is in custody to prevent the realization of the dream of the Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his gang who intends to kill Harry Potter. Powers Lord Voldemort himself had become a kind of terror with strength that not only covers those who know the world of magic, but also began to penetrate the world of Muggle (ordinary human), and even has taken many lives. Effect of Voldemort himself is now strong enough to be able to enter government positions in the wizarding world.
      There is only one way to be able to facilitate their efforts against Lord Voldemort in order to eliminate the antagonistic character by destroying five Horcrux (pieces of Voldemort's soul), who scattered in various parts of the region. The story of Harry's business together with two friends, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), to find a Horcrux and destroy pieces that enliven this tale of The Deathly Hallows - Part 1. Of course, among the stories there are several sections devoted to exploring the personal side of each character that makes the story of Harry Potter’s adventure increasingly crowded, darker and more complicated than the previous series.
     The biggest problem of HP and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 lies in the inability of the director, David Yates to keep the intensity of tension in the storyline of this movie. Maybe this is not going to be a big problem, if HP and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 duration shorter than 146 minutes running time, but with the duration provided, Yates seems to be much to play with the emotions the audience by presenting the intensity of the unstable - at one point the audience will be confronted with scenes that can stimulate adrenaline and then exposed to various scenes with the intensity of the flat, portions tend to be laborious and time duration is longer. Beyond the problem of the intensity of the story that less can be well maintained, this film is a film that is very satisfying. As the film offers a variety of scenes 'high-voltage,' HP and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is really that amazing movie. Various scenes drama was also presented a positive impact on the development of each character that is in the way the story - particularly the three main characters of this film. Through this film, soul and thoughts of Harry, Hermione and Ron getting more deeply excavated, especially Ron Weasley in this series seems to get more specific portion to show the comic character.
     The duration of running 146 minutes does not mean that all characters can be accommodated properly. Actually it is unfortunate to see Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter - who have a role with a very interesting character - only displayed in the portion that is not sufficient. But it is very understandable that HP and The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is a kind of appetizer for the second part will be described with a depiction of the final story is nice and magnificent.

Vocabularies :
  • Custody : The act of taking care/
  • Devoted : Having great love for somebody or something and being loyal to them.
  • Unstable : Likely to change suddenly.
  • Excavated : To make a hole by digging (passive).
  • Sufficient : Enough for a particular purpose.
