Summary Madden NFL 13, or the entire game series as a whole, is about Football, one of the greatest sports ever created. Now in the game series, you are able to play a quick game, play in career mode as a player or coach, and play online against people from all over. The game itself is rather challenging for those who have never played before, especially if they have no previous experience with either playing or watching football.This game is definitely targeted towards those who have a real interest or passion for the game series, or football in general. Now as far as rules and conventions go, there are simply too many to list, as i would have to include a copy of the entire NFL handbook.the scoring system is rather easy to understand, a touchdown 6 points, PAT(Point After Touchdown) 1 point or 2 points, field goal 3 points, and the never­mentioned safety 2 points (a safety is simply sacking the opposing team's quarterback or another player in possession of the ball in their own end zone). overall the graphics are very smooth, especially for a game that came out in 2013, though they have definitely improved since the days of madden 2004 and 2005, where it was not as easy to become fully immersed into the gameplay, as graphics were subpar at best.

Game over Final score Baltimore 28 Indianapolis 21 Interview With my Roommate Jason What are your thoughts on the game? At first it was a little bit confusing with the controls but a little button mashing here and there kind of figured out after a while. you get used to trying to figure out how to press particular buttons for the particular move you want your characters to do. In comparison to other games you have played, how were the graphics? In particular the graphics of the game are a whole lot better than the ones I played granted, the games I played are much older they cut the rendering very smooth where everything was more rounded off compared to being so square little to no pixelation whatsoever everything ran smooth. Was there any part of the game that was particularly challenging to you? In general the hardest part was just understanding the controls and being able to do it quick enough that you could actually play well. it would take me a long time to be able to get used to the controls. If there was one improvement you could make to the game, what would it be? One feature that probably help make it easier would be to have them go over the controls that would go slower so you had more time to react. and a better view of the options you had seek a better decide on how to play and then eventually work yourself up to speed How would you rate your overall gaming experience? Even though I'm not much of a sports person, I found this game to be rather interesting since it requires a lot of thought for your strategy. Would you continue playing this game, or even recommend it to a friend? i'm really more of a pc gamer, not one to play on a console, though would recommend it to those who have an interest in the sport. If you aren't familiar with this type of game, what game types are you most familiar with? I'm more familiar with the sandbox games and the stars wars battlefront series than I am sports games however I have played a skiing game before. Taylor Coffey Assignment One Rough Draft “Supernatural” from the CW September 28, 2015 ● Observation one is coming from the first thirty minutes of episode twenty­one from season ten of the show ​
Supernatural​
from the tv station the CW. Observations two and three will be coming from episodes twenty­two (observation two) and twenty­three (observation three) of season ten. The components of the observation are coming from the actual time of the length of the episode. For example an event that happens at 7:30 means that event happened seven minutes and thirty seconds into the thirty minute allotted observation time of the show. ● Quick summary of necessary background information: ○ The notes that make up this observation are taken from different settings because the show is set in numerous different environments and settings. This is partially because Dean and Sam, two of the main characters, go from state to state investigating different odd occurrences that possibly involve the supernatural events or forces. Before going any further a simple definition of the term supernatural is any event or situation that is linked to a force beyond scientific understanding or goes against the laws of nature. Probably the most simple example is a ghost. ​
Supernatural ​
is set about a world much similar to the one we live in today. This show can be graphic at times but it is the action, story, and gore that captures the audience, ● Throughout the observation we will be discussing certain ideas and topics such as the figured world, actors, artifacts, communities of practice, domain, practices of the community, and literacy practices. This topics will be defined and examples shown as they are observed in the show. ● Figured world:​
A figured world is a community or large social structure which has its own specific practices, rules, traditions, and other specification or components of their figured world. ○ In the show ​
Supernatural ​
there are specific rules and conventions for appropriate behavior. One of the most important being to never take on something you can’t handle alone. For example in the show Sam and Dean rely on one another to stay safe when the threat is too large. This is shown throughout every season and it was even shown in this episode when both Sam and Dean go to save Charlie, another main character, from danger because they don’t know the exact severity of the situation, Another rule for appropriate behavior is not to move in on another hunter’s turf without permission unless it is urgent (A hunter is an individual who hunts down and kills forces of the supernatural nature). In my opinion another major rule in the figured world of hunting, is trust because if you can’t trust another person with whom you are working with then how can you rely on them to have your back when in danger. Another rule that comes along with having a career as a hunter is that you can’t have any relationships because the chances the people in the relationships will get hurt because when enemies can’t get to you they go after things you love. Also it is not really a rule in hunting to use fake names when investigating a case but it does help in the long run with keeping the secret of being a hunter. A closing point for appropriate behavior is being secretive of being a hunter because if people knew what you were doing they would most likely report you to authorities and plus you don’t want everyone knowing your business. ● Actors: ​
These are individuals that play one or more specified roles with figurative world. These roles are fulfilled by actors because they are important to the story line and often are meant to complete a certain goal or purpose. ○ Dean and Sam​
­ These two are by far the most important characters because the whole show is based around them and their adventures. They both fulfill the role of hunter because in the show they hunt down and kill supernatural forces. Of course they both have their smaller roles such as Dean being the big tough protective older brother and Sam is the younger more caring brother. ○ Charlie​
­ She fulfills the roles of friend, family, and ally to Sam and Dean. Her purpose within the show is to help the Winchesters (Sam and Dean) with certain tasks, She serves as the tech head for Sam and Dean’s hunting squad within this episode. She uses technology to help find information and to solve problems. Charlie is also basically family to the Winchesters making her a linking stone between Sam and Dean. ○ Castiel​
­ He has the role as an angel sent down from heaven to fight for the survival of heaven but to also work to save humans from demons and other supernatural forces just like Sam and Dean. Castiel works to help the Winchesters whenever he can. He is also fulfilling the role as counselor or adviser for Sam and Dean by giving them feedback on plans to help them in the right direction. ○ Crowley​
­ Crowley serves the roles of King of Hell and ally to Sam and Dean. Crowley helps Sam and Dean often because all three of them have a somewhat close relationship because of what they have been through together. I guess one could argue that Sam and Dean aided Crowley in becoming King of Hell. Crowley also has the role as son to his mother Rowena whom is a powerful witch. ○ Rowena​
­ She fulfills the role as an experienced intelligent elder grand witch. Rowena also possesses the role of mother to her son Crowley who is the King of Hell. In this episode she is aiding Sam in deciphering the Book of the Damned which possibly contains the solution to removing the Mark of Cain from Dean's arm (The Mark of Cain which originates from where God cursed Cain for killing his brother Abel and placed a mark on Cain to warn others that killing him would provoke the vengeance of God. ● Artifacts:​
These are physical tangible objects or items that are important to an individual or the whole community either culturally or socially. Items that are significant in its own special way. ○ Mark of Cain​
­ The Mark of Cain is important to both Sam and Dean as well as the entire figured world because the mark is extremely dangerous especially on a hunter because they are always killing and getting in fights which makes containing to evil side of the mark even harder. The mark is important to Sam and Dean because it on Dean which makes him a ticking time bomb of danger. If Dean isn’t cleared of the mark soon it won’t be pretty for anyone because the mark makes him more dangerous and risks him turning complete demon if he lets the mark consume him. Everytime he fights someone or kills something the mark becomes stronger. ○ The Book of the Damned​
­ The Book of the Damned is important to everyone because almost everyone evils wants it so they can create chaos. It is of absolute importance to Sam because it potentially contains the cure to remove the Mark of Cain and Dean wants it destroyed because of the danger it could cause. ● Communities of Practice: ​
Groups of individuals or demons that have either shared beliefs, customs, means of communication, methods, or other things of culture. ○ Hunters​
­ There is a large group of people known as hunters who hunt down and kill supernatural beings and forces. These hunters follow specific rules, guidelines, and regulations pertaining to the topic of hunting. Hunters sort of have a shared means of communication including verbal and written communication. ○ Demon families/colonies​
­ Demons have families and colonies in which they are a part of because it is what they were taught to do whether it be good or bad smart or dumb. These colonies and families have their own customs, values, and means of communication to practice their Communities of Practice. ● Domain: ​
The shared devotion or commitment to a community of practice’s stated interests and goals. The main focus or foci of the group. ○ Mark of Cain ­ ​
The Mark of Cain is only on Dean’s arm however everyone around him is affected by the influence of the mark on Dean. The mark increases violent thoughts and the possibility of violent actions. Dean is the only individual who has to fight giving into the mark both physically and mentally. Others also are affected by the mark because it is a danger to both them and the world. ● Practices of the Community: ​
These are ways in which individuals within the community complete various tasks as well as social practices or traditions. For example Sam and Dean are a part of the hunter community because their father was a hunter which caused Sam and Dean to become involved. ○ Solving cases​
­ Sam and Dean go around the country solving cases having to do with supernatural occurrences. The Winchesters stumble across a obscure case and go to investigate to determine whether or not it is a supernatural case. After they determine it is a supernatural case they hunt down and kill the demon or whatever supernatural force caused the crime. ○ Posing as Detectives or Federal Agents​
­ Sam and Dean often pose as federal agents so that they can have overall jurisdiction and so they aren’t suspicious being around a crime scene. This is one way that the Winchesters complete the task of solving a case to ultimately hunt down and destroy evil. ● Literacy Practices: ​
These are ways of communicating within the community and the figured world as a whole. This communication can be both verbal and nonverbal where nonverbal an action such as body language or written communication. ○ Texting​
­ In the show pretty much everyone texts to inform others if the situation is not urgent. This is the third most used method of communication with the first being talking on the phone and the second being talking face to face. In this episode both Sam and Dean text others but no that often. ○ Verbally talking on the phone​
­ This is the most used form of communication within this episode because it is the fastest way to contact someone when you need them fast. Calling someone is common because it is quick and efficient. ● Observation one: Episode twenty­one of season ten ○ 1:00 ​
­ There is a brief period of flashbacks of prior events that have happened in previous episodes which gives the viewer a refresher of what has happened thus far. All of the main characters are shown in this collage of flashbacks. The flashbacks show Dean in the middle of a house covered in blood with dead bodies all around him. This shows the true purpose of the Mark of Cain which is to make you good at killing which is what Dean is good at. The flashbacks also show Sam not burning the book of the Damned which is bad because Dean wanted the book destroyed and Sam lied to Dean. Sam is also shown as working with Rowena in order to save Dean which if Dean knew he would shut down Rowena’s help immediately. ○ 10:14​
­ Sam meets up with Charlie, another one of the main characters, to seek her help in deciphering the code for the Book of the Damned so that they can read the pages and learn how to save Dean from the Mark of Cain. However Charlie also thought that the book of the Damned was also destroyed and she doesn’t like the idea of lying to Dean because he is practically family to her. Charlie agrees to help Sam decipher the code but only because it is to save Dean. ○ 13:09​
­ Charlie is with Sam and Rowena when Castiel enters. Charlie asks Castiel if he is in on this deal of lying to Dean as well and of course he is. This is Rowena’s first time meeting Charlie and Castiel and she associates Charlie with being a witch as well as asking Castiel what he is. When he tells Rowena he is an angel she doesn’t believe him. Castiel is there to basically keep the tension at a low between Rowena and Charlie since Sam can’t be there all the time to play referee. ○ 14:24​
­ Charlie, Castiel, and Rowena all agree to help Sam in order to help cure Dean. Charlie and Rowena will attempt to work together to crack the codex so that they can read the book of the Damned. This is a big deal because all of this is happening behind Dean’s back which never works out good. ○ 15:56​
­ Sam and Dean have caught a case where a man scooped out a woman’s eyeballs and jumped out of a three story window. Dean and Sam determine that this is the guy from the Stein family whom originates from the original Frankenstein family. Sam gets a call from Castiel which makes Dean even more suspicious that something he doesn’t know about is going on. After Sam and Dean leave as agents the man they are looking for shows up and kills the man who talked to Sam and Dean. This man the Winchesters are looking for is Eli Stein. ○ 27:07​
­ Dean captures Eli Stein when Stein tries to kill Dean in an alleyway. Dean takes him back to the bunker for questioning and interrogation. Eli explains how his family roots from the Castle of Frankenstein. Sam gets another mysterious call from Castiel that makes Dean more suspicious. Eli informs Dean that the Book of the Damned cannot be burned because it is protected by a spell to keep it from being destroyed by anyone which causes Sam’s little secret operation comes unraveled. ● Observation two: Episode twenty­two of season ten ○ 1:00​
­ As is in all episodes of the show ​
Supernatural​
, there is an one minute recap of what has happened over the previous episodes. In this recap we see the scene of Sam and Dean interrogating Eli Stein in the hopes of learning more of the family history and practices. We also see Eli Stein breaking into Charlie’s apartment to kill her. The final scene we see in the recap is Sam assuring Rowena that he will kill Crowley, her son, as soon as she finds a cure for removing the Mark of Cain from Dean’s arm. ○ 3:51 to 7:02​
­ The scene opens up with Sam and Dean in the middle of a clearing in a forest chopping wood to build a pyre, which is a pile of flammable materials to burn a dead body respectively and religiously, in order to burn Charlie’s dead body. As a viewer, one can tell there is a lot of tension between Sam and Dean in this scene because for the most part they don’t speak to one another due to the circumstances. Dean is pretty much livid with his brother because Sam dragged Charlie into something Dean said to forget behind Dean’s back. They finish the pyre and set Charlie’s body on the top and set it ablaze. Sam begins to apologize to Charlie and Dean abruptly cuts him off saying, “Shut up. You caused this, you don’t get to apologize.” This really shows the amount of anger Dean has toward Sam right now as well as the tension between the Winchesters at the moment. Dean also tells Sam he wishes it was Sam and not Charlie up there. This comment also shows Dean’s anger and the tension between the Winchester brothers. This scene ends by Dean telling Sam that the thing with the book and Castiel ends now before someone else gets hurt. Dean says he is going to find whoever did this and take away everything they love then kill that person. Dean then walks away from his brother Sam. ○ 21:35 ­ ​
Even though he promised to terminate any further activity pertaining to the book Sam receives the key for the codex of the Book of the Damned that Charlie solved and decides to continue with Rowena reading the book. Rowena forces Sam to hold up his end of the bargain which is killing her son Crowley who is the devil. Sam lures Crowley to a specific location and shoots him in the back with a Devil's trap bullet which is simply a bullet with the star of David carved into it. This shows what Sam is willing to do in order to save his brother however this also goes against what Dean said because he told Sam to drop it. To me this shows that Sam is desperate and genuinely wants to help his brother. Sam is unsuccessful in killing Crowley and thus comes close to death because Crowley could have killed Sam but he didn’t because Dean and Crowley have become close friends. Crowley also allows Sam to live in order to deliver a message to Rowena as well as so Sam knows the only reason he is alive is because Crowley allowed it. To me this shows that Sam is desperate and genuinely wants to help his brother. ○ 28:05​
­ Dean wakes strapped to a metal medical table in a mysterious room in the Stein’s mansion after barging in to kill everyone. Monroe Stein introduces himself and he is the leader of the Stein family. The Stein family has a tradition of taking parts from other humans and installing them in family members of their own. Dean explains that if Monroe kills him he will come back as a demon and will be a whole lot meaner. He attempts to play operation on Dean and Dean kills all three people in the room after escaping from his restraints. ● Observation three: Episode twenty­three of season ten ○ 1:31 ​
­ Just like any other beginning of the show ​
Supernatural​
there is a short but sweet recap of what happened in previous episodes however this recap is special because it includes the whole season’s events since this episode is the season finale. This recap covers pivotal moments from all of the events leading up to the present time. This recap basically combines the whole season thus far in a one minute flashback collage. ○ 4:14​
­ Dean has left Sam behind and is attempting to move on in the hopes of not harming anyone he loves ever again. He is in another state investigating the case of a dead teenage girl. Sam and Castiel are attempting to locate Dean while also assisting Rowena in reading the Book of the Damned. ○ 7:48 ​
­ Rowena talks to Sam and Castiel, explaining that she knows how to remove the mark from Dean’s arm. ○ 10:32 to 12:09​
­ Rowena is reading from the book and explaining to Sam and Castiel what they need to complete the spell to remove the mark from Dean’s arm. She interprets that there are three things required for the spell which include something created by God but forbidden to man, something created by man but forbidden by God, and the third ingredient is something Rowena loves since she will be completing the spell. Sam and Castiel figure out that the three ingredients are the forbidden fruit, the golden calf, and they don’t know about the third ingredient. Castiel figures out that Rowena loves a little Polish boy named Oscar. Rowena says this is impossible. ○ 14:59 ​
­ Dean is in a motel room washing his hands when he looks up into the mirror and sees some disturbing images. He basically sees everyone that he has hurt who he was close to since he go the Mark of Cain. Dean freaks out and goes on a rampage smashing pretty much everything in the motel room. ○ 18:49​
­ Sam finds the motel where Dean was and Dean has left Sam his car. Dean is running away for good. ○ 20:17 ​
­ Dean has summoned Death and is asking Death to kill Dean so that he can’t hurt anybody else. This shows Dean’s care fro looking after those he loves that he would be willing to die to ensure their safety. ○ 21:23 ​
­ Death says he would love to kill Dean but he simply cannot because the mark is the first curse known to man and nothing can kill Dean. Death says he could remove the mark but Dean must share it with someone else to keep it locked. Death explains that the mark is the key and lock God used to lock away a great evil that came before the world we know was created. Death explains that he can relocate Dean somewhere where he would still be alive but not on earth or near anyone he could hurt. ○ 23:25 ­ Dean calls Sam to say his final goodbyes before Death relocates Dean off the planet. Sam attempts to talk Dean out of whatever it is he is planning to do. Dean tells Sam he has made up his mind and there is nothing Sam can do. ● Interview: I chose to interview my Dad because he also watches the show ○ Interview questions ­ ■ Briefly discuss why you personally watch the TV show​

Supernatural​
because I enjoy the action and ideas behind the supernatural forces. I also watch the show because the plot and characters interest me. ■ No matter how mad they are at each other, at the end of the day they care about one another very much on a brotherly level. ■ The actors chosen for the roles fit perfectly because of the way they look and their personalities. ■ I don’t have any major concerns besides the fact that the directors killed off Charlie. ■ The season would have been better had Charlie not been killed however I see the reasoning behind killing her off the show. ■ I want Rowena to be killed off the show because she is crazy and needs to go. Assignment one Kim, KyungHo The figured the world I am observing is the Korean movie title of Sunflower. The reason why I selected this film because it brought me a lot of thoughts by being touched even if this is old movie rose 2006 watching it with my mother. Every time many kind of movies release every year with equipped higher quality of producing effects and more exaggerated for exciting and fun on the movies sometimes. I couldn’t find any of those what they really have nice plot and realistic pure emotional sense on it. I just want to strongly recommend it to someone who’s interested in Korean movie. The figured world I am observing is someone’s beautiful life of the Sunflower movie. From the first scene of movie the main actor name “Oh TaSik” holder one small notebook in the train going to somewhere, when he opened it there’s a plenty of list that he will do it such as “eat walnut in the train” then when he did, just checked it as done. This actor was grown up in dark world, was so vigorous youth and fearless with a hard heart. Once he was young, accidently was forced by other gangs. He stabbed one person to death then he lived in the jail for long time. And the first scene was he got out of the jail from expiration. The world became dedicated and developed since he wasn’t in the society outside of the jail. The movie shows that a family without father story between this man. A son, one of family members was that “Oh TaSik” killed. We know that we can never forgive someone kill families screwed our lives in suffering. But in the movie who name “DukJa” she absolved his unpardonable sin and made him into her family. So one family formed “Dukja”, “Oh TaSik”, and “Dukja’s daughter “Choice HeeJu”. It changed his life trying to live new one and works hard everything what he given be a man of sincerity. However, criminal professions in the past interfere into his striving to live another person. There a wide range of communicates of practice displayed along with showing his effort to alter his life back to kind, normal as hard worker from heart and criminal people where he worked before but he put his feet down to change his life. In his life is getting entangled with them, they think he has something in mind as it’s strategies when he came back after person life but it wasn’t true. It tells us sometimes what we made a decision we should be ready to take it despite yet knowing how much it will damage you or bother you. Also the movie gives us many kinds of lessons from practice as example when “Oh TaSik” gave a gift to “DukJa” with his first salary made me touched could feel love and be thankful that I have own stable family and real mother too. Rule and convention Rule – it’s a frame of doing people have to follow, there might be some punishments if people do not listen to it. It made by genealogy opinion which has to go harm others or bother them after obeying with the rule making less conflicts to the others like law or policy in school. It uniforms people as one so that they are well organized to do something in their group. Examples in my observation notes, ‘killing people’ is murder, should go to jail with apt period and if someone wants to have other lands, should have receive authority of territorial right. It can not be your own land if you just want to have that land. Conventions ­ its kind more than pledges, promising with the others about making something is worth to both of them after they agree with it. We can not tell the others with your idea that they have to feel the same. Examples of observations, main actor promised himself that never drink, never fight and never cry again but at the end of the movie, he can not make it. Convention is different from rule that its breakable. ( Observation 1) " Sunflower" 0:00­3:00 ‘peaceful song’ main actor Tasik is sitting on the seat in the train running to somewhere. He picks the hand size of notebook and look at it the first page of it written cover as “I will never drink again, I will never fight nor cry again” after he pondered a while he get some Korean snacks called walnut from his bag and eat two hurry. Then back he holds a pen with small notebook and leaf the pages. Several sentences seemed written a long time ago, each pages’ rim is old. He found one sentence which “eating walnut snack” and make cross lines on it as it’s fulfilled or accomplished. Later he got off the train and walking on unfrequented street toward the ‘Sunflower restaurant’. ”The movie title of Sunflower appeared” 3:00­5:00 Tasik took a seat alone in the restaurant drinking water and it looks shy or clumsy. Heeju, she’s tapping her shoulder with a fly stick and looking at Tasik. This is their first time to meet. ‘silent continue between them’ at that time, Heeju hit the table front of Tasik and say “Hey”. And she asks him “you’re retarded, aren’t you?”. Tasik says that the field of sunflowers is gone and it’s changed a lot. Two of them look outside of the restaurant. She told him that her mother’s out now and come back tonight. Tasik is lagged and says nowhere to go. Heeju says “you said you’re from here, no friends?” Tasik has no idea where he can stay until late tonight. She then recommends “Sauna” which a public bathhouse. He’s now in Sauna and make another cross lines in the sentence “going to a public bathhouse” in his notebook. And be ready to change his clothes. But he’s finding hard how to use the cabinet with technology system using his key to open it. ‘cabinet making sound is an error’. And someone who’s worker approach Tasik and says “stop playing with that thing, it’s delicate sensor”. But Tasik said sorry and wants him to know that it wasn’t intention because he use it this first time. Worker turn back to his seat and talking to himself ‘no wonder it keeps breaking, you have no idea how expensive is and if broken…Are you loaded.’ And he stands up and approach him again but worker found Tasik with a huge tattoos everywhere in his body part. 5:00­7:00 Two polices in the cop having a relaxing, nothing to do with the violent scene in front of them near a bar and talking to each others who’s hitting a girl is one of ‘Changmu‘s boy’. And one police ask new policeman about reporting they receive it in or not. New policemen says no. Then they really don’t mind it and turn the subject ‘Changmu and Yangki’ they are bickering over that Club Oracle. So need to hold their mind. There’s war brewing. Two of them can never be friends because they are thugs. And adapt policeman asks new one to get some food. New policeman asks “what about her?”. Respond “they didn’t call it in and we’re shorthand. We got no time for that and it’s time to eat”. Then they leave. 7:00­10:00 Changmu gathered his own thug members in his small business night club, “sugary, carbonic acid gas, Caramel, phosphoric acid. A lot of good stuff in it. Gulp it down. Drink it, hitting you is useless and so ignorant, once Club Oracle is completed, we are done suffering, until then, do your job right!. Tasik visits Changmu and Changmu got shocked to see him that he has get out of pension life for 10 years. Tasik just wanted to drop by and say hello. And told Changmu he’s going to see Yangki too. After few hours, Tasik and Yangki got out of Yangki’s business building with two his workers. Tasik says “leave me alone whatever I do, I’m trying to live changed life. happy to see you’re doing well, bye”. “Yangki says “call me if you need anything help”. After Tasik left him. He is talking to his workers that keep an eye on him. 10:00­15:00 Tasik backs to sunflower restaurant. Heeju welcomes him again says “I thought you drowned at the sauna, mom’s been waiting”. And she calls her mother name ‘DukJa’ come out. When DukJa sees his face and runs to see him closer asking it must’ve been hard and how are you. And she felt bad as called ma’am by Tasik. She wants him to tell her as mother, mom. After the restaurant closed, DukJa, Heeju and Tasik had dinner together. DukJa looks happy. Heeju brought Tasik to room where he will stay as one of family members and explained the room was her brother own before he died. After she showed the room bring him to the top of the house for conversation what she wants to tell is that she does not want him expect to treat him like a real brother and she doesn’t know the story between her mom and Tasik also totally hate living with a total stranger. She was so against the idea but she gave in to her because it was her wish. She gives a piece of advice for Tasik’s pathetic life, “being dumb isn’t just bad, it’s a crime. It makes others suffer”. Tasik is lying on his bed and reminding ‘I will never drink again, I will never fight again, I will never cry again’. 15:00 20:00 the next day of early in the morning, Heeju is calling sleeping Tasik to give a house key. He is listening to what she saying that forgot to give a key last night and use this to lock the door if he goes out, there isn’t much to steal, though. Tasik is looking at Heeju’s school uniform. Heeju says “why, never seen a pretty girl?”. And she left house for going to school. At the market many people are celebrating the election on Cho Pansu. He is promising with people to make the market renovated bringing back customers saying that the development doesn’t go itself, should take us abandon old things and accept new things. Everyone agree and saying thank you shaking hands with him. Cho Pansu got his car and smelled his hand then ask his driver go give him a tissue to wash up his hand showing a disagreeable impression. “its disgusting, let’s get out of here”. Tasik visit the police officers to write confirm signing for his status. Some of policemen came in the office say hi to everyone in the office. And one policeman grab Tasik’s paper while walking by. “what are you doing here?”. Tasik respond “I was told to report to..”. “not that, why would you come back here, I know Korea is freaking small but, why here? don’t you know me? We went to middle school together and you bullied me like crazy”. Their conversation continue in out of the office, the policeman who is name Cho Minsuk was graduated same school with Tasik. Minsuk is saying him leave this town for sake. Tasik says “I will be good, Trust me”. Tasik now in the hospital to see a doctor with his big scale of tattoos. When he was younger got tattoos to intimidate people because he doesn’t want others brother him, but now he thinks it looks horrible. A doctor agrees with his opinion. Tasik wants to wipe out these all tattoos clearly but a doctor considers its not that possible to erase without leaving trace and its under huge cost and time consuming saying “it’s a work of art, why don’t you leave it?”. Tasik is really please to him to do. Many nurses and other doctors are watching his tattoos at his back. 20:00 27:00 A big screen post attached on the building saying ‘I will make life easier for you. City councilor Cho Pansu. DukJa visits Cho Pansu office in the building to tell him stop bothering her by sending thugs that she will never sell her Sunflower restaurant to him. But he says “I am doing everything to develop our community”. When she left the office, Cho Pansu said “everybody on earth is bad”. After she got home, DukJa and Tasik are making Kimchi together. She is calling him as a son and saying wants him work in her restaurant. The scene changed with Yangki office, Yangki got a news where Tasik works at Wellbeing Garage from his workers. Yangki looks more dubious with Tasik went to the hospital to have the tattoo erased. 27:00 32:00 Tasik went to the top of house to smoke. When he is about to light on his cigarette, Heeju speaks “who says you can come up here? This is the only place of mine on earth”. And she let him smoke. Tasik is asking that can call him as brother but she doesn’t him expect that the situation if he would be good brother to her not she would to be good sister to him. Tasik pointed a wound on her under eye and asking what happened. She says “there is only one reason for it, I am so pretty and the world wont leave me alone”. After he met Heeju went to his room and checked his note to make a mark ‘smoking’ as its completed. Next day in the morning, two cops are examining Tasik is working. Cho Minsuk explaining who is Tasik to his succeed. “Both Changmu and Yangki were scared of him, he kicked out of high school and started causing trouble. Back then Choi Dopil ruled the town, but he couldn’t stop that ass. Within 2 years, he lost his turf to him. Then Yangki and Changmu were his underlings, that was 10 years ago. When drunk, he becomes a beast. Dopil didn’t know that and gathered up his boys to get rid of him but he ended up dead. After Tasik went to jail, everybody thought either Yangki or Changmu would take it over. But this guy named Byungjin who limps because of Tasik, teamed up with Cho Pansu who was a pimp then and took over town. Byungjin was stupid. Yangki and Changmu alleged loyalty to Cho Pansu. Byungjin thought he would ruling the town, but he thought wrong. That’s what happened and he is back”. After his explanation, they went Tasik’s workplace to see his boss for interview about Tasik. “when he first showed up, I was so nervous, I even prayed for him to leave, but he begged me for a job and I couldn’t say no. I didn’t want him to hold a grudge against me. So I thought I would fire him if he was the any good, But he works so hard. I hate those who goof around, but I love those hard workers. Tasik became good!”. And cops are asking about drinking. “we all went drinking and asked him to drink some. He didn’t. He is changed, very good.”. Two cops look doesn’t believe it. 32:00 40:00 Byungjin is driving a car with Cho Pansu talking about the Sunflower restaurant hasn’t taken care of it. Because of that he can take build up the mall. They have bought all the land around it except Sunflower restaurant land. Cho Pansu hit Byungjin’s head at the back and asked him to call two boys Yangki and Changmu. Heeju is dozing in the academic schools and after class dismissed ask her teacher about life with how important learning Mathematics. Where it will be used in their life and she gave an answer it depends on kinds of life that there might some people have jobs related to it. When they are talking, Heeju found Tasik is reading introduction books and suddenly teacher, she called Tasik’s name. Heeju is wondering their relationship. The teacher and Tasik continue to talk each other outside of school building. She went to jail to see him but Tasik refused to see her. Tasik said that he is glad to see her became a teacher. He wanted to see her once and for all to say sorry. Their conversation finished. Heeju is looking something in the shop through the window Tasik came to her asking what she is looking at. She is telling what she looking at that is a portable multimedia player (PMP). She explained further it can let you take pictures, play music and watch movies with it. Tasik says “you are lying, tell me even you can watch TV with that, knock it off, I am not stupid”. Tasik leaves the place first. Two of them are eating street food. Heeju says “you can do integral calculus?”. Tasik said “yes”. “how do you do it?”. “do the differential backwards”. While they are talking at opposite side one crew of people coming, who crush on Heeju is name ‘SangChul’. He found Tasik and Heeju ,they are together. And SangChul with his crew kicked Tasik and dragged him to the under bridge. Crew girls holding Heeju and boys keep kicking Tasik. “get up, asshole, get up”. But it looks Tasik defending himself well from those punches. SangChul says “she’s mine. Ive been eyeing her for 2 years and you are hitting on her?”. Tasik says “you are totally mistaken, I am not hitting…” succession of hitting by SangChul. Heeju screaming “stop it”. SangChul asks Heeju whats going on between you and him. Heeju does express that doesn’t like SangChul and asking stop to hit Tasik. Tasik stands up and asks SangChul “leave her alone, will you?”. SangChul passed out and says “what did you say? You are digging your grave today”. And SangChul calls two big guys to hit Tasik. And suddenly Tasik’s coat was torn and everyone watching Tasik’s terrible tattoos especially Heeju is surprised. Tasik is busy to hide it and leave the place. (Observation 2) 40:00 45:00 Tasik is in his room to take some scars on his body. The door is opened by Heeju and she gave a ointment to Tasik and says “don’t tell mom what happened today, I don’t want her to freak out and how do you know the math teacher?”. Tasik says “we just knew each others”. Heeju smiled. At this time, congratulations on Cho Pansu election as city counsilor. Cho Pansu, Byungjin, Yang kind and Chang much are together in the bar room. Changmu and Yangki are opponents to each others with hoping to have Oracle club. They are doing their best to give good impression to Cho Pansu to give the Oracle authority. Cho Pansu mentions Sunflower restaurant and Changmu says “if she doesn’t listen, I will bulldoze the place”. But he doesn’t know Tasik is living together with DukJa in the restaurant what Yangki knows. When Changmu and Yangki in the restroom. Changmu says “Oracle is mine, okay?”. Yangki is trying to say what he wants him to know “I don’t know if you…”. “what?”. Changmu cut his words and keep saying “I will take care of that restaurant and take over Oracle. It’s a piece of cake”. And he left. Yangki smiled. 45:00 50:00 The next day, the cars stopped, Changmu gathered up his boys and be ready to get the restaurant at the same time Tasik is eating breakfast in the restaurant. Thugs entered the restaurant. Tasik is trying to do they stop breaking things and found Chanmu just entered. Changmu got shocked that he touched Tasik’s restaurant. “Tasik.. stop it, guys! Stop it”. Tasik is asking “they are your boys?”. Walking to him. Changmu were hesitated and got a choke by Tasik. “leave. Its my mother’s place”. “your mother?”. DukJa came out from kitchen and broke them up. Changmu is hurry to leave with his boys. “shit, I almost got fucked”. Later, Changmu visits Yangki’s office to complain about what happened to him a while ago making almost terrible mistake with Tasik. “you know Tasik was there, you wanted me to get fucked?”. Yangki says “you never listen to me and whats important is what he has in mind, okay? You think he is back for nothing? Even Mr. Cho canteen stop him. If so we are screwed”. 50:00 58:00 In the car, Cho Pansu is wondering why the restaurant is still existed passing by Sunflower restaurant. Byungjin is driving and explained the reason. “don’t you remember? Tasik from 10 years ago”. Later Cho Pansu called Yangki and Changmu in the construction of Oracle club building. “he is back in town and you didn’t tell me?”. A kick on Yangki’s shin. Changmu says “we have been watching him but he is done with this field”. “this field? What is wrong with this field?”. A kick on Changmu’s shin. They are suffering from pain. Byungjin is just watching three of them. Heeju and Tasik are feeding a dog. “he is tougher than he looks, be nice. By the way, you do integral calculus well?”. “a little bit”. Heeju looks she doesn’t believe it. Now two of them are sitting with reading the books, Tasik showed how calculus works. Heeju surprised “I can not believe this, you didn’t finish high school and are better than me”. Tasik says “when I was in there (jail), there was this math teacher, he started teaching me to kill time. I was a cell leader and he was nice to me”. Heeju says “that means you had a private tutor, the reason why you are good at it, what about English teacher?”. Tasik says “I waited for one, but none came”. Heeju keep pleasing to Tasik how to do integral calculus. Tasik smiles and says “being dumb, it’s a sin and makes others suffer”. Heeju was thinking and says “what the… is that a joke? You are laughing at me? You think you are something because you are better at math? I am sorry I was nice to you”. Tasik keep smiling. Heeju looks at him. “don’t laugh that way, looking stupid is your concept, isn’t it?”. The sky is getting red, the sun is going down with warm in two of them. In the room DukJa and Heeju. Heeju is lying down on the floor reading cartoon books. Heeju told her that she has finished her all studies to DukJa. DukJa scolds. “listen to yourself, you can never study enough, without studying hard, you can take make it in life”. Tasik appeared and asks. “mother? Can I come in for a while?”. Tasik got his first paycheck today so he bought a small gift for mother. DukJa is touching. “you should have saved it for your future”. She carefully opened it there is brown shoes. Tasik feels shy. “I have never done this before..I don’t know if you like them”. DukJa is crying. “how could I wear these.. Thank you”. “no, I owe you so much, Thank you”. Heeju is secretly showing her gesture as hugging pose at beside of DukJa is touching those shoes. Tasik saw it and hugged DukJa. DukJa is crying hard. Heeju is alone at the top of house talking to herself. “when will I get a job and do what he did? Damn, I should age fast”. Tasik came up the top. Heeju is looking at him. “I told you not to come up here”. Tasik giving a PMP as its gift for Heeju what she wanted to have. She surprised. “trying to suck up to both mother and daughter? Mom promised to buy me this”. “fine then, I am going”. Tasik took it back and going down to his room. He checked the words ‘buying gifts’ on his note. The door is opened, Heeju made a cup of coffee and silently giving it to him. And Tasik smiled and make a coffee exchanged with a gift. Heeju closed the door and jump up by feel happy. 58:00 64:00 Heeju is having fun with PMP what Tasik gave it, taking objects around her, a dog and she zoomed in Tasik with tattoos. “that’s a dragon and a bamboo..”. And she saw a small note in his poket. She took it from the poket and Tasik surprised. “Heeju, no!”. Heeju is avoiding Tasik to hold a note. Heeju speak out the words on the note. “let me see, ‘I will not drink’, ‘I will not fight’, ‘I will not cry’. Its my Mom gave you, right?”. The reminiscent scene rise up about a note. DukJa gave him this note when Tasik was inside jail. Whenever the weather changed, time to work or before going to sleep. Tasik tried to make lists on the note that he wants to do or his wishes. That note affected him to endeavor to be motivated to live right way. Embracing him with warm heart even though he is killed her son ‘Choi Dopil’ DukJa forgave him with that note. Heeju is laughing. “this is so funny, ‘peeing on the street, getting full from coke, getting hair dyed,’ they are all boring and what is this? ‘kissing my breath out’? Fine, I will give you this one.”. Heeju marked on a note. “here”. Tasik got his note and checked the word with cross lines ‘going on a picnic’. Tasik smiled. Heeju posted a paper that their restaurant is closed today for a picnic. Tasik put his foot under river and thinking deeply. He is just watching a stone under cleaned visible water. Small fish swimming around water. “its ripe”. DukJa torn watermelon into two in a tent. Heeju says “I finally got to understand integral calculus”. “you said that you hate math because of that” DukJa said. Heeju says “Tasik taught me how to do it. He is good at math and he wants to go to college”. “son!, if you get into college, the tuition is on me. Come over here, get some watermelon”. DukJa is really happy with news. Heeju put her earphones in Tasik ears and her favorite song ‘princess can not sleep’ turned on’. “look into the camera!”. Heeju set her PMP function as camera, taking picture three of them and the back ground is their Sunflower restaurant. 64:00 72:00 At evening, Byungjin waited Tasik from his work finished. “you live with Sunflower lady?”. “I am sorry about your legs”. “no point talking about the past, I forget about it. Mr. Cho Pansu, he wants to build a big mall. He is bought the field of sunflowers except that restaurant standing in the middle of it. That made him very upset. You know what I hope you leave town with her otherwise, your family will be in trouble. Cho is a ruthless bastard. I hope not to see you again around here”. Byungjin leaves. There was two boys hiding back of trees who Yangki sent to. Yangki called Changmu about it. Changmu says “but it was not Cho who met him”. Yangki says “who is Byungjin? He is under Cho. Use your head. That’s for thinking. I think Cho made Tasik an offer. What would that be? It can not be anything small for him. Its Oracle”. Changmu anxious, “what about us?”. Yangki asks him to take care of restaurant. He will deal with Tasik. Changmu laugh with consent. The next day Changmu with his boy visit Sunflower restaurant to trash it. They destroy the restaurant and hurt DukJa and Heeju. When Tasik came its already late in the situation those thugs gone. DukJa, Heeju and Tasik are cleaning broken piece of restaurant. Heeju holding her broken PMP, “its broken, I don’t think they can fix it. But pictures are good, though”. Tasik looks so mad. Meanwhile Changmu is celebrating what they have done today. On that occasion, Tasik visit Changmu. “I have no business with you, let me talk to Mr. Cho”. (Observation 3) 72:00 78:00 Tasik went Mr. Cho building. “I have a favor to ask of you, I promised to myself that I would never fight again. Help me keep that promise”. Cho says “I force you to fight? What makes you think that? I was going to ask you help me with my business ”. Tasik says “I have a job”. “you should have bigger goals in life”. “I am satisfied now, Thank you but no thanks. Do me this favor”. “it’s a favor? More like a threat to me”. Tasik left his office. Mr. Cho is calling to someone. The next day, thugs come to Tasik where he works at the garage. Those thugs asks something special Tasik to put wings on their car like in the movie flying car. Tasik says “we don’t do that here, please go to a different garage”. Then right after saying that thug punched Tasik. And even garage owner hit by them but as Tasik promised to himself that didn’t against them. Covered the owner from hitting. When thugs left them, owner says. “I am glad you didn’t lose it”. 78:00 80:00 Tasik and DukJa in the restaurant, and Sangchul suddenly came in and says “its true, you did get beat up, when I heard you got beat by petty thugs. I didn’t believe it, but its true. I know the whole story. How can you adopt a guy who whacked your own son? You call that a family? You whacked her son, right? Cho Dopil”. Heeju accidently listened this all saying at the door. When she got a panic, Sangchul left the restaurant. 80:00 85:00 “its late, go to your room to sleep” DukJa said. “he really killed my brother? Did he? How could you do that? How could you adopt a man who killed your son?”. “things happen in life. It was an accident. After the funeral, I went to see him in jail. I wanted to ask him.. what he did to deserve that. But then he started crying, saying he was sorry. I would never seen anybody cry like that. Seeing him cry, I realised that he would just made a mistake and that he wasn’t a bad person so I visited him a few more times, watched him 10 years, he was a good kid. So I decided to make him my son. I must be crazy”. Two of them fell in sorrow. Heeju went to Tasik. Tasik says “sorry, I wasn’t thinking right, I will leave, take care of you mother”. Heeju says “what about us? Mom and I were happy to have you with us. Now you are leaving? You are so funny, you come and go as you like? I am thankful. I came to thank you and you tell me you are leaving? My brother was her son but he was a piece of shit. He would beat her for money. I was very young when I heard that he died, but I was very happy. That mom would never be beaten up by her own son. Don’t go. I don’t care what others say. And mom is happy with you. I have never seen her that happy. Live with us”. 85:00 90:00 DukJa is copying Cho Dopil, dairy to make a material evidence. And showing it to Mr. Cho. “so you are saying, I ordered Dopil to hit Tasik. So one died, and the other ended up in jail? And I cheated Dopil out of the field of sunflowers?”. DukJa says “if you leave Tasik and us alone, I will keep quiet”. And she showed her son’s diary. “I couldn’t care less if you become a congressmen but if this diary gets out, you are going down”. After she left, Cho examine again the dairy if this real one or not. Byungjin says its Dopil’s. Byungjin asked him what are you going to do then he said I should take care of this. Byungjin called Tasik to tell this how much DukJa will be in trouble. “she blackmailed Mr. Cho and he will not leave her alone. Blackmail was about what happened 10 years ago. It was Cho’s work. He gave Dopil the order. What she knows is true. I am telling you Cho will not let this slide, Tasik. Be careful”. Tasik get back home and Heeju is wondering if DukJa is been drinking all day after this morning. “mother, I am home”. She is telling that nobody can touch them now, she fixed the problem. Then she continues to sing.. ‘fall, this lonely night, bugs are crying…’ 90:00 97:00 Sangchul is begging his pardon on his knees to be gang member one of Changmu thugs. On the street focused one biker who wearing helmet with a brick. Other side there is Heeju standing near signal lamp from school. When the green light on, Heeju is walking towards the cross street but when biker swing a brick to her then she fell down in the middle of road and became spattered with blood. She is surrounded by people caring and moved to the hospital. Her left eyes is terribly swollen and big scars on forehead. She in unconscious. Tasik doesn’t know what he need to do outside of the hospital room and DukJa is just watching Heeju’s face. Two of them going back home. DukJa opened one box, “she got hurt because of me. If I had sold the restaurant, it wouldn’t have happened. I didn’t think I wanted that much out of life. Tasik, she is family. Nothing is more important than family in life. So we will sell the place and leave. We will start all over”. And she is giving a bank card to Tasik for surgery which saved for her wedding. Later, Tasik called Byungjin to see Mr. Cho. In the Oracle, Tasik, Yangki, Changmu Mr. Cho and Byungjin are together. “what would you want to see me for?”. “my family will leave town”. Mr. Cho laughed and says “nobody’s stopping you to leave, but if you commit a sin, you get punished for it. Give me one of your arms and I will let you go”. Yangki and Changmu are getting feel uncomfortable. DukJa is packing her and daughter things. Tasik sit on the chair and rolled up his right clothe. Byungjin is stirring a knife in the bottle of drinking and after that he slowly stabbed Tasik’s right arm. “you will be able to hold a spoon”. Tasik is having extreme pain. Yangki and Changmu can not see that picture. Mr. Cho looks satisfied. After only Tasik and Byungjin in the car, “Tasik, your arm is fine, don’t worry. You know what I mean? And have a good life somewhere else. Consider it as a last gift from me”. In the Oracle, Mr. Cho orders Yangki to kill sunflower lady and get a dairy to wipe out. 97:00 102:00 Tasik got back to the hospital and touching Heeju’s hair. Talking to unconscious Heeju, “its okay, everything will be fine. I will protect you with my family. We will be happy again”. DukJa is alone in the house and holding old pictures reminding, saying to herself “my dear son, only if I could see you again. If I have to pick the most difficult time of my life, its when we built the restaurant. After your father died suddenly. We were so poor then, but what kept me going was you. You were mean to me later, but I believed you would come around one day, looking back, it was toughest time but at the same time, I could not be happier then, building the restaurant together. I wanted to keep the restaurant. But those bustard are forcing us out. I am sorry. Mom is so sorry”. When she finished speech Yangki’s raid made to choke her to died in the house. There are brown unused shoes from Tasik close at hand. Later she died, Yangki gather a diary and with dead DukJa, let her fingerprint as its seal to sign confirm and then make her as suicide crime hanging neck on the celling. Tasik found her died and do nothing but cry hard. “mother, open eyes mom.. mother!”. Days passed, Tasik is looking at a picture of the late DukJa. 102:00 108:00 That day, the Sunflower restaurant is getting dismantled. Yangki and Changmu are watching it, “she should have listened to us, she got too greedy”. Tasik is stunned and just watched that the restaurant is getting removed then walk to somewhere. Seeing around the house, Tasik is looking at those shoes what he gave them to DukJa. At beside something is shining that is earing when Yangki fell down while he was killing DukJa. Heeju are awakened and calling anyone at beside Tasik hold her hand. She asks how DukJa is that she doesn’t know what happened to her, Tasik lies her she is okay. Heeju a little crying and saying, “I said I would call you brother, brother.. do me a favor”. Tasik accepted that a favor and went to a photo studio but the studio is closed. When Tasik look around, he found one picture which three of them with happy smiles were taken last time by Heeju’s PMP. Heeju displayed it. Tasik is crying. And he starts to drink that means he broke his two of promises. ‘I will not cry again’, ‘I will not drink again’... 108:00 115:00 In the built Oracle. All thugs are busy to have rehearse to welcome Mr. Cho. “attention, bow”. Mr. Cho looks around huge, grand view of Oracle club inside. Everything made by splendid gold has curved wide stairs. In the middle of the club having the feast by food, luxury drinks. Mr. Cho says. “nothing is impossible if you push it, how nice of you to work together”. Yangki says “it is all thanks to you”. Changmu says. “thank you, sir. We will do our best to run this Oracle club well”. They inclined their drinks to each others. ‘crying sound’ Changmu heard someone is crying in the club, “can not you hear it? Who the funk is crying?”. Tasik showed up, “its me, fucker. You know what? For 10 years, I regretted and promised to myself. Did you have to do it? You should not have. Did you have to take it all from me? Motherfuckers!”. Changmu is staring at him, “are you out of your mind?”. Yangki is having pity on Tasik pretending that he didn’t kill DukJa. “I heard about that lady and her daughter. Its so sad”. Tasik drawn out earing from his pocket which Yangki’s and threw it on the table in front of him. “it will make it sadder for you”. Yangki picked it and says. “I was looking for it, you had it”. Tasik looks around and asks. “who messed up Heeju’s face?”. Sangchul says and walks to Tasik with a knife swaggeringly. “its me, got a problem?. Tasik snatched a knife away from him and catches his arm making it twisted as bad. Sangchul fell down straight holding his arm and crying with fear. Tasik called Byungjin who has been helped Tasik. “Byungjin, leave here unless you want to die”. Byungjin listened to him and walking out of the place and before he leaving, saying Thank you for letting him alive. Byungjin is out. Tasik says. “if you commit a sin, you get punished for it. Consider it my punishment as sweet”. And set his cigarette alight. On the floor has spoiled oil around exit doors to be blocked. And Tasik threw his cigarette on it. Fire comes intensively, Mr. Cho asks his thugs to set off those fires. Tasik lost his temper and started to fight with more than 10 members of gang. Nothing can not stop Tasik with his extremity of pain and misery. Hit by steal, but keep going to hit them all almost to dead. Fire is getting moved to other walls. Bloody beaten gangs are suffering by Tasik. Tasik answers violence with violence a more stronger feelings made him turning his normal life what he hoped into back previous life when he was cruel, a brute. Tasik grabbed Yangki’s neck at the back and choked as hard enough, this picture is matched with how the way DukJa died. Tasik were stabbed by a knife. But he is still following Mr. Cho who avoiding Tasik to be dead man. Chanmu blocked Tasik, but that was Changmu’s action to death. Mr. Cho reached to deadlock and Tasik picked one cudge. Tasik knock him to death ruthlessly with sobs. After he killed him, he just sitting in the middle of fires around in the club. Reminding DukJa’s saying. ‘did you drink? did you fight? Then you will not be crying…forever’. Tasik die by crumbled building with fire. “Mom, Heeju.. I am sorry”. 115:00 the end of movie After few years, in one university. Heeju became a succeed professor. Heeju is watching the picture there three of DukJa, Heeju and Tasik were smiled. And she imitates with a note what Tasik was doing with it. Making cross line on the words ‘passing a thesis examination’. One student asked her “teacher, let me ask you something. Were you in love with Tasik?”. Heeju says “Love? I don’t know..”. “teacher, what do you think love is?”. “its about happy moments and good memories. If you remember, love doesn’t change”. Interview (by Kasumi) 1.
