WEEK 4 - WHAT MOVIE BEST DESCRIBES YOUR LIFE

"WHAT MOVIE BEST DESCRIBES YOUR LIFE"

Hello guys, how are you? I wish you feel better now :D Oke, in this assignment i will tell you about “what movie best describes your life”. The movie what describes my life is “The Imitation Game” the movie based on true story and the movie happen in 1939 after Britain declares war on Germany during The Second War.

Oke, this movie tell about “a mathematician Alan Turing, he is the first computer creator. He make a computer to break the code of Enigma. Turing is accepted by Commander Alastair Denniston of the Royal Navy for a code-breaking job at Bletchley Park, working alongside Hugh Alexander, John Cairncross, Peter Hilton, Keith Furman, and Charles Richards. They are instructed to break the code of Enigma, which, as Maj Gen Stewart Menzies of the MI6 explains, allows the Germans to attack British and American shipping, leading to famine and the loss of life. Turing works in isolation from the others, to the disappointment of his colleagues, and he concentrates all of his efforts in creating a machine, as opposed to calculating by hand.” Alan Turing is my inspiration, because he a mathematician but him make a machine that save many human lives.

When Denniston refuses to fund the machine's construction, Turing writes to Winston Churchill, who arranges the funding and names Turing as the team leader.

Turing's team, which needs more people, places a crossword puzzle in the newspaper, and conducts a mathematical examination for candidates, eventually selecting Jack Good and Joan Clarke.

The machine is eventually finished, and Turing names it Christopher, but it takes too long to execute, whereas the ciphers of Enigma are changed on a daily basis. Denniston wishes for the machine to be destroyed and Turing fired, but the other cryptographers threaten to quit.

At the engagement party, Turing realizes that the machine can be sped up by prerecognizing routine phrases such as "Heil Hitler," and the recalibrated machine starts to quickly decode transmissions. However, the team realizes that, should the Royal Navy act on the new information, the Germans may realize that Enigma is broken and redesign it, thereby voiding the team's work.

As such, the team conceals the success of the machine from Denniston, and delivers the results to Menzies, who uses his influence to prevent the team from being fired. Menzies works with the team to determine which pieces of information can be used while arousing the least German suspicion. Around this time, Turing discovers that Cairncross is a Soviet spy, but Cairncross argues that the Soviets are allied with the UK, and threatens to expose Turing's homosexuality if he tells anyone. Turing finds Menzies in Clarke's home, suspecting her of being a spy. When Turing reveals that the spy is Cairncross, the latter explains that he already knew, and has been using Cairncross to leak information of low importance. Shortly after, fearing that Clarke is in trouble because of her secret involvement with the team, Turing reveals to her that he is a homosexual, hoping to drive her away. She is unfazed by this and Turing lies that has never cared for her. They break up but she refuses to leave.

As the war ends, Menzies tells the team to destroy all of their work and never speak of their achievements to the world.

In 1951, back in the interrogation room, Nock is stunned by the story and says that he cannot judge Turing. However, Staehl has the charges pressed and Turing is given a choice of 2 years in prison or chemical castration. Turing chooses the latter. He is visited at home by Clarke, who witnesses his physical and mental deterioration. She comforts him by saying that his work saved millions of lives. In the end, the team is shown in 1945 burning all of their documents, and a caption reveals that Turing committed suicide in 1954 at the age of 41.

Oke, the describes of my life from this film is he buffetings,and he hard work to keep trying although he fail but him never give up! And he love story with him fiance shame with me, I break someone’s heart by telling the truth to men. And actually still a lot of the same nature to me but enough to me and God only knows :D

WEEK 3 - TWO THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO BRING EVERYWHERE YOU GO

"TWO THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO BRING EVERYWHERE YOU GO"

      Hello, guys how are you today? I hope you feel better today. Oke, for this posting I will tell you about “two things that I have to bring everywhere I go”. Actually many things that I bring everywhere I go, but in this posting I will tell you just two things.

      The first things that I have to bring everywhere I go is a phone, I choose my phone because with my phone I can contact someone if I need a help, I can contact my friends to enjoy with me in a place, I can contact my friends to tell about something information, I can search the place that I want to visit with use my internet connection in my aplication phone that is google maps, I can search and find something information with internet connection in my phone, I can play games in my phone if I boring, I can listen many songs everywhere I go with my phone, and etc. The phone is so important to bring everywhere we go, because we don’t know what happen in way to we if we go to everywhere, to be on alert we must bring phone if something happen we can contact someone to help we.

    The second things is wallet because usually in the wallet we bring a STNK, SIM, KTP, ATM, photo, a lot of moneys, etc. So, if we forget to bring wallet everywhere we go that can be big problem if all of your contents in your wallet very important like I mention in up, its so dangerous friends!!! For example, when you while go on a trip suddenly raid by police happen and you forget to bring your wallet that contents your STNK, SIM, KTP, etc. Wowww! That can be big problem and you must dealing with police. I have ever experience raid by police in Sekadau City. At that time I must return to Pontianak to take care of my university lecture cost 09.00 o’clock, and then I see my rem lamp motorcycle do not live so my father bring my motorcycle to machine shop. In the road to machine shop my father hit raid by police at Rawak Circle Traffic,my father forget to bring my STNK and the SIM was died so he call me to go him location and bring my STNK, SIM,and KTP and my uncle deliver me to my father location. After that I say with the police that “I forget to bring my wallet and I was call my father to brought my wallet” after that I show he my STNK,and my SIM but he don’t care he ask a question to me “you want your SIM, STNK, KTP, or your motorcycle to seizure? You must to choose” and I say to him “but my father was brought my wallet to me and now I must go to Pontianak” and he answer “yes, I know. Now you must to choose you want your SIM, STNK, KTP, or your motorcycle to seizure?”. So I choose my STNK to seizure, and I must to join a session next month to take my STNK. And then its my story from my raid by police experience hahahahaha I hope all of you never have a experiencing like me.
