Letter 5: Mid-Autumn Festival🍡🍢🍡🍢🍡🍢

How time flies！It's almost the half of autumn. The burning hot weather finally went out, and the feast moment is just around the corner. It's no surprise that a lot of foreigners would be curious about Moon Festival as they heard about mythology handed down by Chinese people. Greek and Roman culture have numerous ancient stories, with lively characters like Zeus, though, our ancestors are also imaginative to this mysterious world. The story of Archer Yi is a good example. Jade Rabbit Grinds Medicine, Wu Kang Chops Down the Cassia Tree…… lots of stories have been spread ever since the Yao and Shun Era. Our Moon Festival tradition is the last thing you should miss. There are a great many foods you can dig in: mooncake, pomelo, and barbecue. Hope you have a nice day！🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

Letter 4: My Reflection on Twelfth Night by TAS🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

So glad to have a chance to watch this: one of the best William Shakespeare's works adapted by Taipei American School. Being a high school student, I hardly pay attention to English literature, foreign poetries or Medieval Europe. The only impression to this prestigious author is that he is a strange, stubborn, boring man who always wrote corny plays, thought negative to this world and lived in an abnormal way. Having watched the drama Romeo and Juliet, l was not touched by but rather consider it a joke.
However, it went differently after I join in this. I could imagine what an amazing drama it would be as the special decoration of the stage was in sight. This time, the fantastic Twelfth Night was featured in 1980's lifestyle, and the scene was moved to Miami and Havana. Rather than romance and classic, it mixed hip-hop, 1980's pop songs, and even funky dance. It really reminded me High School Musical, but it was much better. Much to my joy, we seated in the front row and were so close to those actors as to feel their breath.
 As well as the settings, the whole cast also played a crucial role in this big hit. Weird but cutting-edge clothes, fancy hairstyle, shiny accessories were their iconic characteristic. Generally, the stage show should usually be occasional, quiet, elegant, and sometimes make people sleepy. Nonetheless, their movement and conversation were so appealing that you couldn't help but glue on it. Acting smoothly and naturally, they turned a serious drama into a funny and fashionable one.
TAS' students surprised me with their perfect performance, making it an unforgettable memory. I hope I can see them next year！🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩
