Murder will out

 I've read a book written by Agatha Christie for the free voluntary reading project. Its title was: And Then There Were None. This was one of the best I have ever read. It contained a lot of mystery, excitement, thrill and unexpected turns.

The plot was extremely well-developed; nobody could turn out who was the murderer. The story starts with an introduction of eight different people, but one thing is common; they have the same destination called Soldier Island. However, when they arrive at that mysterious island, they cannot find their hosts, but the old butlers Mrs. and Mr. Rogers. What is more, other strange things appeared, there is a nursery rhyme on the wall about ten little soldiers who all die successively, and there are ten small, head-shaped sculptures on the table. Then after all, they all die in the same way as it was written in the poem.

Who was the killer? It was obvious that only one of them could have done it. Finally, we got to know, that it was Justice Wargrave (even his name is strange, isn't it?), the lunatic judge, who have arranged all of the murders including his own.

 The "Andless" Story

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to the theater with my friends. However, it was not a usual one, it was a play, the Animal Farm from George Orwell, but performed by addicts. In my hometown, Komló, there is a famous institution, called Leo Amici, for these kind of people. So this performance was the part of their quitting process. For me, seeing these people was very moving, because when they act, they were so talented. They remade the play with the sense of humor and a lot of irony.

After the play we could talk with the members of Leo Amici. All of them told us how they suffered from alcohol or drug addiction. In the end, they also mentioned that, despite they had been over a long journey in this place, they have to work hard every day in order to be a full member of our society again, and this is an endless story for them. Finally, I realized how good persons they are! I hope them the best!

"In practice the ideal image transmitted by media is in fact overly distorted."

I've read this sentence in Katie’s blog (http://drawlife-katie.blogspot.com/), and it has really drawn my attention, because I perfectly agree with her. When I turn the TV on, nothing else can be seen, but beautiful, charming ladies with fancy dresses, who are happily smiling into the camera, if only just this could be the normal standard.

This is really surprising, because in fact, these ladies may feel themselves exactly different. They have to go on strict and cruel diets in order to preserve their good-looking body, and this is what hard to be noticed for an inexperienced teenager. If you ask children who they idolize or who their role models are, they will most likely answer with their favorite skinny models and actress. Why is society allowing this to continue? This isn't healthy.

The result of this bad influence is, that more and more young girl would like to be extraordinarily thin, and in the worst cases they ends up in the hospital with anorexia or bulimia. I think that health is more important than following the latest trends and the media should take this under consideration too, before they broadcast programs with wispy girls.

Think about it! What comes next?

This post will be based on a 9gag-photo (http://9gag.com/gag/3650448 ), which I’ve found really interesting and worth thinking about it. This is a really creative caricature of the great destruction of our modern society.

Since the population has increased more and more people have the desire to destroy the nature and build houses instead of the trees and plants. If we continue like this, probably there will be no future for the next generation.

I know this is trivial, and we have heard about it so many times before, but it's still a problem what need to be solved. Even a few years ago, I couldn't imagine, that the forecasts what have been made by scientists and experts will come true. But now, like a shot, the climate has changed; once it's raining cats and dogs, once we can't bear the hot. What is more, animals lost their natural habitats, and in the worst cases it can cause deforestation which is irreversible.

So what can we do to protect our nature? In my opinion, first we should utilize what we have and stop tearing down the environment mindlessly in order to build new skyscrapers or factories because of the big company’s self-interest. Of course, there are other things to do, for instance we can plant new flowers and trees, but it is almost impossible to stop this process, we could just pray for the Earth to survive as long as we live here.
