Hi everybody. My name is H.Anh. I enjoyed watching cartoons and my favorite movie is the cartoon about Tom Tom and Jerry. Tom & Jerry is an American animated series was shown on television and theater genres from short films to feature film. Produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for MGM studios. Tom is a blue and white cat. He keeps home for a normal family and has a very free life. His job is to pursue Jerry every day. Jerry is a brown house mouse. He used to live in a deep cave behind the wall. Although they hate each other very much and are always looking for ways to hurt their opponents, but when Tom or Jerry falls into really dangerous situations, the two become another savior. The film is an endless confrontation between Tom and Jerry, bringing a lot of laughter to the audience. I love this movie because when I watched it I felt very happy, feeling like I was returning to my childhood.

One definition of what separates us from other species is our ability to construct narratives from our random thoughts, memories, and imaginings. We are a species of storytellers. How and why we construct stories remains a mystery, one being explored by biologists, anthropologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and researchers in semiotics and linguistics. One common thread in the research is that stories help us make sense of our lives.

Brian Boyd, author of On the Origin of Stories: Evolution, Cognition, and Fiction, suggests that we are hard-wired to tell stories. Boyd argues that art, in general, and fiction, in particular, have evolved from cognitive play and serve an evolutionary survival function. Our oldest stories, our myths and fairy tales — the story about the hunter and the stealthy lion, or the one about the fox and his invisible cape — may have determined whether our primordial ancestors lived or died. Over time, these stories have become embedded in the warp and woof of our culture, and while the danger of a humanly cunning lion may no lo nger fit our lifestyle, we get the point. Viewed literally, lions can maim us; taken symbolically, understanding and honoring the ways of an intelligent and powerful predator might help us navigate certain obstacles in our lives.

I’ve recently written several blogs about fairy tales. Fairy tales present simple stories that are still relevant as guides to the archetypal patterns in our unconscious minds. They are also teaching stories and cautionary tales that speak to the mythopoeic in our psyches, that aspect of our minds that think in metaphor and symbol. Like our ancestors who lived closer to nature, and like the cosmologies of many indigenous peoples, we, too, have the capacity to experience a tree as a spirit helper or a demon or a bewitched prince. While the earliest folk tales emerged from peoples who possessed a less sophisticated notion of the world, their repertoire of emotions and the stories they wove around them were not dissimilar to our own. Greed, loneliness, jealousy, sorrow — these continue to be our human burden. Cinderella, Bluebeard, Sleeping Beauty are our contemporaries, their journeys to selfhood or self-destruction familiar to our modern souls.

One way to more fully experience the wisdom of fairy tales is to write your own. Through objectifying the contents of our unconscious by drawing, sculpting, writing, dancing, we find the healing symbols within. The Red Book is a record of Carl Jung’s own plunge into an almost psychotic state after his break with Sigmund Freud in 1913. Characters from his unconscious welled up in his conscious mind. Methodically, with terror and fortitude, he recorded his dialogues with these characters as if they were flesh and blood and Jung even painted images that illustrated his experiences with them. Jung sometimes feared during this period that he was toppling into a psychotic state, but by working consciously with these figures, he found he was able to hear their wisdom “from the other side.” These encounters later lead to his theory of Active Imagination, which he somewhat describes in this advice to an analysand about working with her dreams.

Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter cutting wood in the forest. Suddenly, his axe broke and fell into the lake nearby. He started to cry. A Buddha appeared and promised to help him take the axe back. For the first time, the Buddha jumped into the lake and fished a gold axe. But the woodcutter said it wasn’t his. For the second time, the Buddha fished a silver axe. However, it wasn’t the woodcutter’s axe, too. And for the third time, the Buddha fished a iron axe. The woodcutter cheered and confirmed that was his axe. The Budhha praised him for being honest and gave him all three axes.

Where I live, the specialty is beef noodle soup. This is a very popular dish in our country. Pho noodles are made from rice, which is made from the best types of rice. The broth for beef noodle soup is made by stewing beef bones in a large pot for a long time. The broth for another kind of pho is chicken noodle soup made from stewed chicken bones. Thinly sliced boneless chicken and served with chicken noodle soup... Tell me about your favorite dish where you live.

Vietnam is famous with its traditional and delicious dishes. All of them easioly bring to anyone's mouth indeed, but as myself, I enjoy spring rolls best. Spring rolls are lightly fried rice -paper rolls, smaller and crispier than Chinese egg rolls but more flavorful. They are filled with highly seasons morsels of crab, shrimp, chopped vegetables, onion, mushroom, vermicelli and eggs. To prepare them, place the above mentioned filling on a thin rice pancake, roll up then fry. Finally, spring rolls, when fully prepared, are wrapped into some kinds of fresh vegetables, then doused in fish sauce. My mother usually cooks spring rolls for me, especially on important days in year, such as Tet holiday. When I eat them, I feel all of my mother's love that she reserves for me. To me, they're the most special dish in this world
