Special Relationship of the Old Man and the Cow



By Oh Uhl, Student Editor
 


 If I think about an indie movie, Old Partner, a cowbell sound still comes to mind. A cow, it has no

 

name, has worked every day even if it is rainy or snowy for thirty years. The cow walks with a limp as it immediately falls down. The old man walks like the cow. They resemble each other. The old man drives a cart very slowly as the cow pulls it looking not only greatly pleased but also sorrowful in the country landscape.
A cowbell sound, especially, is felt sadly. Whenever I feel sad, hearing the broad Gyeongsang-do dialect of the old lady, the old man’s wife, makes me laugh. She is jealous of the relationship between her husband and the cow so that she tells either her hard-luck story or swears about the cow. Finally, the cow dies. I cannot forget what the old man said. This is the summary of his mind about the cow, “Even if, this cow is a beast that cannot talk, it is better for me than people.”

 


Watch It Just for Fun

 Boys over Flowers is one of the most popular dramas these days. It is so popular that people are interested in all facets of the drama, including actors, fashion, Original Sound Track (OST) and shooting locations. Its original work is a Japanese comic book. It has already been made into a drama in Taiwan and Japan. The key to its popularity is its main characters whose group name is F4, Flower 4. They are handsome and rich in the drama.
Another key to its popularity is the story. The overall story is very simple. It is a romantic love story between an ordinary girl and a rich boy. It especially appeals to women who dream of romantic love. Although the drama is criticized for some aspects like unrealistic contents and Japanese manners, we should accept it by considering its originality. It would be better to watch this drama just for fun. It is a good drama to forget our worries or troubles while watching it.



 

 


Between Family and Freedom


By Lee Min-Young, Student Editor
 


 This book, My Sister’s Keeper, is about Anna who was born with the same genes as her sister Kate to save her from a malignant sickness. She gives all she could give to Kate without defying her

 

 

 

parents. Suddenly, she sues her parents and refuses to donate her blood and kidney. She does not want to sacrifice herself for a million to one chance. The plot of this book is written from several points of view. This helps to understand everyone’s feelings and experiences.
If I were Anna, I could not have the courage to declare my intention, but in Sarah’s shoes, I would resent Anna because I would already be too highly stressed out to take care of Kate and her complicated matters. It is a conflict between freedom and dignity of life. The book’s material is very unique and something to think about. I think it would be nice to read and discuss the story with your friends!
