New Governmental Directions for Revising the Korean History Textbook

New Governmental directions to revising the Korean History textbooks for middle schoolers 


1. Erasing the history of dictators Park Jung Hee, Jeon Du Hwan, and Lee Seung Man.
2. Erasing the history of 5.18 Pro-Democracy Movement.
3. Erasing the history of Pro-Japanese actions in the Japanese colonial era.
4. Accentuating how South Korea was the only legal republic signed my UN.
5. Accentuating the justification and how it was an unavoidable incident for the dictators to rule the country for such a long time.



Okay this is the reality of this country's education.
so the fabrication of the media was not enough for them:) 
they even had to fabricate the history. fine.
I am not raising my children here in the future.
seriously, I feel so ashamed of the fact that I am being educated in the country, ruled by those who think we still live in the 1960s or something.
Do they really think this sort of FRAUD can still trick the students....?
(Why are Chosun, Donga, and Joongang so silent about this?? :D )

111011 A Paragraph Describing Myself in Three Words

While following the stream of justice in my life, I sometimes get too angry or hot tempered. Though I naturally don’t like to get too stressed out of anything, and would not want that anger to stay long in my mind, I keep the rage in my burning heart at unjustness, because of the desire to pursue something right. Rooted from this kind of anger, people sometimes call me radical and I feel so proud of it. I believe everyone in my age should earn the braveness enough to make at least a frowning face at this rotten government and the society of Korea. Although I might seem a little different from other high school students in a sense of seeking a different goal, I bet I would not feel ashamed in describing myself as a lovely girl. My loveliness comes out from the fact that my heart beats so fast in from of “the boy”, the fact that I brush my hair in the morning thinking of him, and the fact that I try to sleep at night with him in my dream. I, as a person, can be expressed in words from the far ends of very different sides.

1st Reading Journal on "The Body"


The Body impressed me even with the first few pages. Since the first novella of the book, The Shawshank Redemption, was a bit of disappointment in some sense, this one impressed me compared to that. I really liked the vivid expression on each of the characters. I could easily imagine what kind of characters they are, with what they like to do and what kind of experiences they have had. Because I only got to read the first 30 pages for now, I really wonder what would happen next in this novella. I am waiting for the time I get to read more so that I can write more reading journals on it. I am very much excited to read now.
