The story is about Wesley Gibson (McAvoy) a frustrated account manager and his discovery of the fact that he is the son of a professional assassin.After this discovery, he decided to join the Fraternity,the secret society where his father worked.The plot is like: Wesley works at a bank with overbearing boss and takes anti-anxiety medicines for his panic attacks.Sustaining an ordinary and routine life, Wesley encounters a woman,Fox, who says that his father is murdered by an assassin,Cross, and he is now hunting Wesley.He joins the secret society and he takes some defence  and attack courses. The society also gives order about killing people and they say that it is destiny that decides who will die.When he is ready to fight,he can take revenge of his father and serve the society.Cross leaves a clue to Wesley in order that he can find him,a clue with a bullet on his shoulder.Then Sloan who is leader of the society tells Wesley to kill Cross by saying that this is order of the fate.When Wesley chases up Cross, Sloan says Fox to kill Wesley.Wesley finds Cross and tries to kill him but Cross doesn't want to kill Wesley. At his final attack,Wesley kills Cross and Cross says that he is the father of Wesley.At these moments,Fox follows Wesley and tries to kill but she fails .Running away Wesley learns that Cross is his real father and the society deceits him as they know that the only person whom Cross can't kill is his son,Wesley. He also learns that Cross opposes to society as it does fraud so it makes him kill his father.Then, he wants to put an end to society but he is alone and society consists of more people.He learns his father's tactics and attacks to society.Through the end, he is surrounded by the members of the society.They are about to kill him.He tells the truth them and no one but Fox believe in him.Hence she kills everyone in the society including herself.

I liked it very much as it contains thrill,action and parental love together. The stars in the film are another effective cause to choose this film. The events and scenes are very effective and creative.It is not just a film but also some criticism.We can see that everything we believe in may not be correct and we can't see truth.However, our truth can make the wrongs correct.

    REFLECTION TASK 2A

The Effects of Smart Phones

I want to talk about effects of the smart phones because people are very interested in these devices nowadays. We can see that three out of four people have smart phone. With the improving technology,the life is getting easier for people. Smart phone is one of these technological devices which affect people's lives.Thanks to this device,people can pay their bills on the phone without going to banks.They can have lots of applications which are useful for them. People can find almost their all needs in one device. Not only people but also companies and organizations benefit from the smart phones.They can make more sale for less cost and they can have a chance to reach to wide range of costumers because people check their message boxes in the phones rather than their e-mail boxes in the computers. Although it seems that there are lots of benefits for people, there are also negative impacts on people. For example,  people record every important knowledge 

 on the phones and they use these phones much more than their brains to remember somethings. This causes their brains to weaken and lose the knowledge in the minds as the unused knowledge is forgotten. Moreover,people become unsocial when dealing with the cyber world in the phones.They spend time with messaging with people instead of speaking to them face to face.This situation may lead their communication skills to get worse.What's more, they may be affected from radiation of the phones. This affects adversely their health and they may have health problems.In conclusion, I think that people shouldn't depend on the smart phones unless they need these phones because these devices bring damage with the advantages.

                Reflection Task 1B
Today, I am introducing a man, Jadav Molai Payeng, to you. Maybe, a few of you have heard of his name. He is a forest worker from Indıan. He has a farm and sells milk to make living. In 1980s , he joined a tree plantation project over 200  hectares area with the other workers. After the project finished, other workers left but Molai chose to stay there. He looked after those trees and planted more trees.After a while, he transformed that area into a forest.The forest was named after his name ''Molai Forest' which homes to over deer, rabbits, elephants and other animals.There are also several thousands trees. Molai is not just looking after trees but also protecting animals from the poachers and people.He wants people to protect the world as he thinks that world is more beautiful with its natural beauties.I think we should take his attitude as a role model for us. If we want to benefit from the opportunities the world presents us, we should presents some opportunities to it ,as well. For example, we should also plant trees and we should try to make the world more beautiful by protecting it. We should try not to damage it, so we shouldn't cut off the trees and emit the gas to nature.

  THE POEM FROM PERSPECTIVE OF THE KING KONG
 

I used to destroy the buildings,
Everyone would beg  me when I stood up
Now in the morning I am staying in a cage
Roam the streets I used to crush
I used to roar in that streets
Hear the fearlessness in my voice
Listen as the crowd would scream while running
Now they are happy with my absence
One minute I can understand their reasons
I discovered that my loneliness is their happiness.

I am Zehra and I am a student in METU. I live in Mersin but I graduated from Kilis Anatolian Teacher Training High School,which means I was a boarding student in high school.

I want to talk about my hobbies, also. I like listening music and watching folk dance. Actually, I also want to do folk dance. At the same time, I like some tv series, ,for example Leyla ile Mecnun which was very comic and absurd.However, it was  banned just because the actors protested against Gezi park evident.Here is a short scene from it.

Apart from this, I like spending time with my friends.Last year was very suitable for this purpose but I generally sat in my room and watched Tv series.I have some exceptions,though.

As for this year,I had some difficulties in the lessons and some other things.Yet, I believe that people can do anything they want.I believe that but I don't put this belief in practice
