Oh my god!! I really made many mistakes in my last entry, just wanna point that out.
Well I really didn´t do many things for english the last week. I only watched "the social network" , which my brother bought on thursday. It is actually kind of funny , because when i watched it in the cinema i thought the film was pretty cool. And when i watched it on dvd i didn´t thought it was cool, i thought it was a masterpiece!!!!! The film is really good, and even if you hate facebook you should see it because it is about betrayal and a broken friendship.
Here is a link to a very interesting video with Mark zuckerberg and Jesse Eisenberg ( he plays Zuckerberg in the movie). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhyefOJIH3w

Yesterday I finished reading "The Accidental Billionaires" , and I think it is pretty awesome. The book is written by Ben Mezrich and it was published in 2009. It is pretty much about the founding of "Facebook" and that is a very , very interesting story.
In 2003 the two, young Harvard-Students Mark Zuckerberg and his friend Eduardo Saverin came up with the idea with a social netork called "thefacebook". Both were not really the cool guys on Harvard but "thefacebook" became really popular on the campus and it seemed like everybody loved it. The identical twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss asked Mark , some time ago, to make a social network for them and after they found out that he invited his own social network, both think that Mark has stolen there idea. But he did not really care , and because of "thefacebook´s" popularity Eduardo and him are starting to think of cash. So Mark moves to Chicago, where he meets the "Napster-Founder" Sean Parker , who wants to be part of "thefacebook". Mark agrees, but Eduardo does not really like Sean. The whole "Facebook" Company, but Eduardo is now moving to Chicago. Escpeccialy Parker think that this is very stupid from Eduardo and comes up with an idea.........When Eduardo had come back to the team, he finds out that his 33,4 % where set down to less than 10%. Instead of him Sean Parker is no the CEO of "Facebook". But some time later he has been invited to a party, where suddenly the cops arrived and Parker was busted. So Mark writes him one of the most sarcastic letters of all time................"I´m CEO, Bitch". On the last pages the author tells that the Winklevoss twins sued Mark and they had won 67 Million Dollars. Eduardo sued him to, but no one knows how much he had won. THE END
I think the book is pretty cool, interesting and sometimes funny at the same time. Because I had seen the movie it was quite easy for me to understand what was happening.

Well I finished reading "Winter´s Bone" 4 days ago, and the last 20 pages are pretty stunning!!!
Because Ree gets beaten up and nearly killed. But she does not give up. Suddenly 3 women appear and say that they want to help her. So they drive Ree to a see , where they say her father has died. When they get there Ree finds him, but then one woman gives her a chainsaw and say:" Girl, you need to cut off his hand to proove that he really is dead" I was really shocked when I read that. But Ree is the female hero, and she actually does it. THE END
I think the book is good written and sometimes thrilling but really not as awesome as the critics say, it´s not a masterpiece. After I finished reading "Winter´s Bone" I started reading "Looking for Alaska" ,by John Green who is by the way kind of my favorite author, and it is just great but unfortunateley I bought it in German.

Well I started reading "Winter´s Bone " by Daniel Woodrell and it´s quite good. I don´t think the book is as awesome as the critics say, but it´ s very well written and sometimes really thrilling. Oh maybe i should tell you what it is about.
The main character is the 16-year-old Ree Dolly , she lives with her 2 younger brothers and her sick mother in the Ozark Mountains. One day a police officer appears and tells her that her father , who left them some months ago, didn´t pay the bill for their house and that they have to leave it in some months. So Ree Dolly drives through the whole town for some help and she realizes that her father had many enemies and that her curiosity about what happend to him is very unwelcome. The officer visites her a second time and tells her that if she can prove the death of her father, she must not move from her home. After some time she also gets help from her uncle "Teardrop".
Well I couldn´t read further. But I´ll tell you next week how the book ends

When i was in England, I bought a Manga-Version of William Shakespear´s "MacBeth". Yesterday I read the first chapter. It was really difficult to understand , because the language was not even a little bit modernized or somehting like that, you can call it "Original Shakespear".
Like i said because of this it´s very hard to understand. But it´s a really thrilling and fascionating story so I´ll read it till the bitter end.
So: "All Hail MacBeth. That shalt be King hereafter."

Today I watched the movie "Taxi Driver" in English. At first i tried to watch without subtitles, but it was really hard to understand, so i added English Subtitles. After that the movie was quite easy to understand, althought i am not sure if i really got everything. I think i´ll watch it next weekend in german and see if i understood the movie.
