Books or movies
Today we have many books and movies. Some books were converted into movies, but the film rarely is the same as the book. We can find out which is better by looking at the strengths and weaknesses of each of these.
Let us for example take the Harry potter movies and books. We can see slight differences between the concept of the book and the movie. Some people prefer to read the book and some prefer watching the movie. Doing both is enjoyable in different ways. If you have a good imagination, you can easily picture episodes in your head while reading and books also contain more details.
If you have read all the books and seen the movie versions of the same stories, it would be easy to see the differences. I prefer books, because they are more interesting and intriguing. In Harry Potter, there was much more detail in the books than the movies and I enjoyed the characters more in the books as well. Also, there is no eighth movie so if you want to know what happens you will have to read the book. Both the movies and the books show the friendship and adventures of the main characters.
I think books are still better, because they expand your vocabulary and provide interesting topics for discussion. On the other hand, books often contain some parts that are difficult to understand and watching the movie may make complicated topics easier to grasp.
Goals for the New Year
Setting goals allows you to be more organized in achieving success in your life. Goals are important, because they motivate and push you to become a better person. My goals for 2023 include being more productive and making my family proud. In Samegrelo we have traditions for the New Year. Mekvle is one of these traditions. The Mekvle is a person that visits your house, wakes up the family members and gives them sweets and wishes everyone happiness. We also have a unique Christmas tree made out of carved, thin wood. It is replaced every year so that it won’t bring last year’s unpleasant events into the next year. All family members gather together and have a feast. We enjoy fireworks and usually spend time with our families.
