I’d like to tell about reading the episode 3, which is
called «Russia» and it is one of the episodes of the «Inanimate Alice». When I
was reading this story, I was excited, because it is about Alice’s life in
Russia, in the country, where I live. That is why I had been reading the story
with especial attention.
The most interesting things were pictures and animation.
They show us the atmosphere of the episode. But I think that they were a little
bit depressive, grey and dark. Russia isn’t so gloomy. Also I liked Alice’s
description. She described us a lot of details, that’s why story was
interesting and valuable.
Also it’s important to say about some difficulties in
this episode. And it is music. During the story we can hear very strange music,
sounds and voices. I suppose that Russia associates with such type of music. It
was horrible, frightening, scaring and grimly. It is really a good idea to
change it, for people’s calmness.
I think that moment with school’s description is my
favorite. It’s really a dream school. We can notice how foreigners imagine
Russian school. But unfortunately it isn’t true; our schools don’t look like
this one. But I believe that one day we will have such schools, because it
looks modern and it can help students to be more successful.
To sum up, I’d like to advice to future readers: read
whole story (all episodes) carefully and enjoy their time during the Alice’s
story.
