Chuseok- Korean Thanksgiving

On 4th of October South Koreans celebrate Chuseok, which is something like Korean Thanksgiving.
추석 (Chuseok), also known as “hangawi” (한가위), in the traditional agricultural society was the time for farmers to relax after their hard work. Now Koreans, several days before Chuseok, go to their ancestral tombs to clean them and pay respect. In the morning of “Thanksgiving” Koreans perform charye  (차례 – ancestral worship ceremony) and put plenty of dishes on the offering table of charye. After that, the food used for charye is eaten by the family members and shared with relatives or neighbors. On that day Koreans would eat bite-sized half-moon-shaped rice cakes stuffed with sweet fillings called Songpyeon (송편). Another important tradition during that day is Ganggangsullae. This circle dance is performed by women and it combines group entertainment with dancing and singing.

Live-shoot series- K-drama system

Obraz
The live-shoot system usually looks like that on the beginning  only two first episodes are being filmed and after drama being aired they continue to shoot the rest of series. Normally one episode is about 60-70 minutes long and it’s aired two times per week. But why people use this system since sometimes filming and editing may also take place at the same day as airing(even few minutes before the airing!) and it’s really risky? Well, sometimes it takes time for production team to get a confirmation of airing time slot and they don’t want to take a risk of not being able to recover production costs. Another disadvantage of this system is that it leads to harsh working conditions, for example actors due to not organized filming schedules or last minute script changes. However, you can find some benefits from this live shoot system since Korean viewers like to give a feedback on the dramas. Knowing what viewers think, script writers can re-work the plot and increase drama’s ratings...

Hovenden's "The last moments of John Brown- video 2

The video that I've watched was about Hovenden's painting called "The last moments of John Brown".  For me, one of the most interesting things in the video was simply the figure of John Brown. How he tried to fight slavery using also very violence methods and how his actions divided people in America. I was very surprised by the fact that after his execution he had been heroized by Northern press during the Civil War. However, when we get to times of the First World War historians tend to look at the John Brown in the very negative light. martyr People were debating in America whether John Brown was a martyr or a murder. incite The opponents of the current government conspired to incite the riot. abolitionist The abolitionist movement tried to end slavery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7o-kAP8PqA
