ANNE WITH AN 'E' S01E01 Review

Scrumptious. Agony. Wonderful. Cherry Blossoms. Red Hair. Ugly. Skinny, Freckles.

These are some of my fav terms Anne spelled with an "E" used to express herself on the pilot episode of its 1st season. I am delighted, or I should say "Enchante". It truly brought me to the wonders of living on a beautiful farmland like the Green Gable. Actually, I really did not catch where Green Gable is, I heard the word Australia in some of their conversation. But I am pretty sure it isn't the Down Under, for I saw no kangaroo or wild animals roaming around the fields. It's obviously not in the Great Britain nor Ireland - I heard none of their accents on this episode. Well, maybe in North America, but I am not sure whether in Canada or what state in the USA. Perhaps I'll find out on the next episode.

I like the way Anne speak herself, especially the one she had with Rachel. I laughed - it brought me great delight. The way she compose every sentence make me feel I am hearing stories of make-believe or of the talks of wonders. Of course, I must admit, I felt sorry for her experiences before she came to Green Gable. The moment she said that she never had the chance to be a child breaks my heart into pieces.

To tell you the truth, I already watched the first 2 episodes of the second season. It was an honest mistake, I thought I was downloading the two episodes of the 1st season on Netflix because it first appeared on the selection. Well because of that - I knew about Nathaniel and his gold affair and the testing of soil on the Green Gable. But no more spoilers. That's it then. Cheers! Good night! (I can say good night because I had a good one, and I hope you had too.)

VASCO DA GAMA

Remember when European explorers tried their very best to find a route to India? Well, we present you, the famous Vasco da Gama. A Portuguese sailor and the very first European to find a sea route to India. He made Portugal a great power in the 1500’s, his discoveries rally round open trade between western Europe and Asia. By the times of 1460, Portuguese sailors had already begun to explore the west coast of Africa and by which time Da Gama was born in Sines, Portugal. Bartholomeu Dias aspired the route to India when he sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, at the southern tip of Africa in 1487. Eventually, King Manuel I of Portugal asked Da Gama to continue Dias’ explorations in 1497. With the order from his king, Da Gama sailed from Lisbon on July 8, 1497 with four ships and about 170 men. Instead of following the African coast, as previous explorers had done, he sailed bravely into the South Atlantic. After three months out of eyesight of land, Da Gama r...

ROMAN EMPEROR: BEING NICE

Being an Emperor of a great big empire, requires attitude and ability! Would a nice person succeed as a Roman Emperor? The possibility is limited, as we can read throughout the history of the Roman Empire, few passed the requirements to be called “nice-person-successful-emperor”. I'm not saying it's not possible, but a leader must show aggressiveness in cases that needs seriousness and haste. Being a all-nice-person emperor, hmmm not that good enough. I'm saying an emperor of a great and big empire needs to master all attitude, to use each for different purpose and usage. Published: January 27, 2019
