Armi Ratia, Marimekko

Marimekko a finnish business of  textile and the clothing business. It was invented in 1951, by Armi Ratia and her husband Viljo Ratia. Marimekko designs and produces clothes, textiles and accessories with the brand of Marimekko. Marimekko doesn't sell only in Finland but also in many other countryes. Marimekko does have own stores, in Finland 23, and also in Europe including in England, Germany and Sweden. Ari Ratia doesn't live anymore, but she was a legend, espeaially for me. She invented a really good and successful company. Ari Ratia gave her whole life to this company. 

                           Armi Ratia was born in 1912died in 1979 in Finland. She was one of the popularest businessman in Finland. Ratia did  work in fabric or clothing business whole her life. She studied arts and crafts when she was younger. In 1951 she invented Marimekko, and it became a huge success in Finland. I think Armi Ratia is really important person for all in Finland. Everyone has something what is bought from Marimekko, maybe clothes, bags, towels, sheets or some tableware. Everyone also does recognises the print of Marimekko, the original flower. There has been named a park for Armi Ratia in Helsinki, Kaivopuisto. 

                           I use a lot of Marimekko stuff, clothes, but the most in my home there are sheets, towels, coffeecups and all my makeup bags are from Marimekko. I think the fabric is nice, and I like to use them because they are strong, and don't get broken. Also my mom has been a Marimekko fan for whole her life, so Marimekko has been close to me and in my home already when I was a kid. That's why I chose to write about the inventer of Marimekko.

Narrative The story about the icebear Tommy

Once upon a time there was one big, very white icebear. The icebear lived in a zoo in Newyork, and he had been named Tommy. Tommy was a star of the zoo, people always came to watch and adore him and Tommy liked it. He always posed when people took photos. Tommy seemed happy, and glad but always after a day when people had left he was all alone. He didn't have any friends to hang out. When Tommy was younger he had a friend, an other icebear with him, but he died couple years ago, and after that has Tommy been all alone. Tommy has a big cage all byhimself. There are monkey Martin who Tommy speaks sometimes, but only then when Martin gets out of his cage.
                        One Morning when Tommy was sleeping like normally, he woke up when Martin came yelling and running to Tommys cage. Tommy tried to calm Martin down but he seemed to be too exited about something what Tommy didn't understand. Martin had  an idea, that Martin and Tommy should run away from the zoo, and only for one day. At first Tommy said directly no to the idea, but eventually did Martin change Tommys head. Then one day they left the zoo, it wasn't that easy, maybe easy for Martin cause yes he is a monkey but for Tommy it was little harder, but they did it succefully.
                       Martin and Tommy had really great day in Newyork city, people did take photos of them and they liked it. The day was sunny and warm. Martin and Tommy walked in the Central park. People was beíng amazen how suddenly an icebear and a monkey just casually walks in the Central park, but Martin and Tommy didn't mid it. After a really good day in freedom and city did Martin and Tommy feel homesick already, so they decided to go back to the zoo. There they have enough food and a good place to sleep a rest. Then Martin and Tommy realized that was their home, and there they do belong.

From kindergarten we all, the whole group went to same elemnetary school, and we was in the same class for 9 years. So we were the same goup for 12 years. Then on 9th grade which was the last year all us together, we sang this song in schools spring festival, and i startedcrying. These lyrics are really good and they were just right for us. After that always when I hear this song all the good memories comes to my head, and I feel melancholic.
Anssi Kela was also a part of my childhood. We always used to listen Kelas songs at home with my mom and sister. That's also why I decided to choose one of Anssi Kelas songs.

THE GUARDIAN FILM SHOW

THE GUARDIAN FILM SHOW

I watched a video review of By tge sea, Hector, The forbidden room and Sisters.
Of the movie Sisters was said that the caracters are like mothers of all partys. The Hector has a Canadian director. Angelina Jolie Pitt is the main caracter in the movie By the sea, she actes a person named Vanessa. I haven't seen any of these movies, but everyone sounds intresting i think. I would like to see every of them, but maybe not the Hector it seems a bit pressing. The most intrsting movie is maybe By the sea. I love Angeina Jolie Pritt she's my favourite actress. I think i might go watch this movie. I also like that kind of movie what By the sea is. Also Sisters movie sounded rellay good, I like the actres in the movie and I like comedy movies. When you watch comedy movies you don't have to think anything and always don't have to also concentrate so much to keep in the plot.

I chose a movie that me and my friend have seen. Napapiirin Sankarit 2. Actually we went to watch it together.The movie was better what I exepted. I watched the trailer before i went to see the movie, and I didn't think it would be that funny. I also have seen Napapiirin Sankarit 1, and I think Napapiirin sankarit 2 is much better. It's common that the second part of some movie is not so good as the first. But Napapiirin sankaarit 2 was much better than the first. The genre of this movie is comedy.
The storyline of movie is that there is a wife and husband who lives in Lapland of Finland. They have one child. The husband is a little silly and doesn't take care of the child ever alone. But now the wife goes on a weekend trip to a hotell with her firend, and the man has to take care of the baby on his own. He decides to go into a wedding and take the baby with him, someone stoles the baby and eveything crazy happens. In movie there is no plot twits, the plot is kind of predictable.The caracters is movie are very good, the wife is Pamela Tola and the husband is Jussi Vatanen. There are also side caracters like Timo Lavikainen, Kari Ketonen, Miia Nuutila and Joonas Nordman. Miia Nuutila is the friend of wife and Timo Lavikainen is her boyfriend.
