Movies or Recordings

My favourite movie in 2009 is "Bride Wars". I like it because it shows all the jealousies and tricks of women when they aim the same thing even they are best friend from childhood. But their friendship cannot be changed so easy like that cuz they still always value each other. I think friendship is always valuable even though people have misunderstandings. So I like this movie to show the changing action between 2 brides.

BOOKS

1.Unsolved Mysteries of History
http://www.amazon.com/Unsolved-Mysteries-History-Paul-Aron/dp/0760745080/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255257676&sr=8-30

i like to read books about mystery. its so fun! It tells me a lot that i dont know so that i become more curious about this world, not only the mystery of countries, but also of human, natyre. Though lots of mysteries are unsolved, im still always interested on it. i have lots of mystery books, but most of them are Chinese.

2. The Pilgrim’s Progress
http://www.amazon.com/Pilgrims-Progress-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486426750/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255259539&sr=8-1

I read this book about 1 year ago. Its interesting that author named the people as their character. It talks about the process that the christian went to the Celestial City with difficulities. It tells me no matter how hard I need to do, how difficult the road i need to go, i need to insist on what i want. After i try to do it with hard-working, i'll gain a lot!

3. Farewell to Manzanar
http://www.amazon.com/Farewell-Manzanar-Jeanne-Wakatsuki-Houston/dp/B0017GXC6A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255260294&sr=8-2

This is talking about the whole life of a girl during the war. She lived in a bad surroundings, eatting bad meals. That let me think about myself. Even im not rich like some public people, i still life a good life. I have everything that i want. One Chinese says: Be contented with what you have!

Media Impact

I would to set the topic of my reserch on "Will the behavior of hot idols affect audience". Lots of people have the idol that they admire, not just teens but some old people do have. Cus idols are the pulish, everything that they do will be zoom in and zoom in. So its so easy to make influence if they make mistake. So i want to see if the fans will follow what they idol did.

I would like to use servey mothod to do it. i'll search the respond that the audience wrote online about the mistake of one idol. Then i'll make my own questions like "what do you think about his/her behavior?" "Will you still support him/her?Why yes or why not?" "Will you think that's cool stuff but not mistake?Will you follow?" I'll ask the questions by seperating 2 groups: one is age under 18, the other is age over 18. And i'll observe the wear to figure out if audience imitate the apparel of idols.

My hypothesis is :the teens may have impact by their idols somehow, but the adult will analysis it by objectivity.
