LIFE STYLE

Literature is a part of life. An art, a life style. It makes person creative. It provides to think different way. It seperates person other ordinary people. Literature makes me feel; creative and free. It makes me creative because it makes me think different. Person can think differently in front of an event which other people think same thing. He\She can make different sentences. And also it provides freedoom. Person is free in his\her mind. When we read a book, we dream the characters, how they are looking. This emotion just belogns to the reader. We can make comment by ourselves. Literature always provides people good things. You begin to love read and after a wwhile you begin to write a story or a diary. You develop your dream world. That’s what literature fells me.

500 DAYS OF SUMMER

The narrator cautions us that this is NOT a love story. And indeed it’s not. An enchanting Zooey Deschanel plays a girl named Summer. Summer hooks up with Tom, a boy who works in her office as a writer of greeting cards. Summer doesn’t believe in love and does not want a boyfriend. That doesn’t stop her from having an intimate relationship with Tom.

Tom ends up falling in love with Summer even though she doesn’t share his romantic feelings. Therefore, the movie can’t really be a love story, but it is a story about love. It’s also a heartbreaking portrait of the pain that results from a one-sided love.

I advise everybody to watch this film

Eid al-Adha & Halloween

Eid al-Adha is a festival of Muslims that is celebrated all over the world. Eid-ul-Adha is also known as the festival of sacrifice and sacrifice feast. Eid- ul- Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of Dhuj Hijja, the Islamic month according to the lunar Islamic calendar. The festival of Eid- ul- Adha is celebrated in the remembrance of prophet Abraham readiness to forfeit Ishmael, his son for god. The story about this festival tells, how Abraham was ready to kill his son and remained true to God. The story tells, how Allah told Abraham, to lift up the foundation of Kaaba that was a holy place in Mecca.God also asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, in a dream. Abraham along with his son started moving towards Mina for the sacrifice. Some of the daemons tried to direct Abraham away from his way but Abraham was true to god and as he was just set to kill his son, God stopped him and gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead of sacrificing his son. This festival is thereby said to be a festival of sacrifice. Some people celebrate Eid- ul- Adha because it ends the pilgrimage or Hajj for those Muslims who make a trip to Mecca each year.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand.
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain. The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops. The festival would frequently involve bonfires. It is believed that the fires attracted insects to the area which attracted bats to the area. These are additional attributes of the history of Halloween. Masks and consumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.

The First Impression of University & ELL Department

  The first week when I came university, I was boring. New friend and new city seemed difficult to me. Some people already knew each other. Most of them were from Gaziantep. It seemed they more enjoy themselves rather then me and I had to play the mysterious and silent student. I wasn't like this situation but I couldn't make anything about this situation. Because of my personality, making friends was difficult for me. Although it difficult to get used to university, in the end my friends, who I have now ,very valuable for me. I already knew students in ELL class from last year. In terms of friendship I didn't feel any trouble in ELL class. I meet quickly the other students who I didn't meet before. Teachers are very good even though they have strict rules. I'm guessing we will like each other. We started good and hope to continue like this.
  I wasn't had a huge expectation from university but the elders of mine told me different. They said that I can do whatever I want. I think they missed the monetary problems or they told me their dreams. Of course I can do whatever I want but firstly I have to have money. As a result, I'm studying more beautiful university than the other friends of mine. I'm happy to be here and I hope it will continue for 4 years...
