Anime and Manga


Anime is a Japanese video cartoon that began when Japan
tried to make movies in the Western way. To make these
“Western” movies, the money was not enough, places were
difficult to film, and Japanese actors looked different
from other people In the World. So, directors preferred
cartoons and asked artists to draw villages or people not
found in other movies; for example, they started making
people with big heads, lots of hair and colorful eyes.

Most Anime movies come from Manga or comics, which means written and drawn stories. During
the 1970s, many Anime movies were made from Manga written by Osamu Tezuka, and artist
well-known for his writings about the future, wonderful machines and amazing adventures.

Here in the West, we believe Anime is about Japanese cartoons, but it’s actually the word they
use in Japan for any kind of video cartoon. The same happens with Manga, which in Japan refers
to all comics everywhere, but in the West it means Japanese comics. Anime movies are made
with the help of computer programs and special teams, while Manga can be written and drawn by
a single artist.

International companies rewrite Manga stories from Japanese into other languages and sell
them. However, some fans do this before the companies in order to share the stories online for
free. More people can read Manga now, but some companies say that’s a form of stealing.

My school
My school doesn’t exist anymore. The buildings were knocked
down are being in service for 50 years. In 2012, Hartridge
High School was renamed Llanwern is now much smaller than it
used to be. The buildings now occupy a single site. I haven’t
been back since it was rebuilt, but the pictures look jolly nice.

Página 6 de 14
When I went there in 1968, the Hartridge school was known as one of the largest
schools in the country. It had 2,000 pupils, and had three separate schools: lower
(11-13), middle (14-16) and upper (16-18) and covered more than 40 blocks. We liked
being close to the railway line, and we were proud to have our own swimming pool.

Although it was good to have so much space; the physical environment was of little
consequence, what really mattered was what we learned. We were taught everything
from how to enter college to how to look after large areas of trees. We also took sport
very seriously. At school, we learned to believe in ourselves and we were taught that
anything was possible. My school was exactly that – teachers believe they could teach
everything and everyone.

I hope they continue with the same educational system. Schools succeed when they have
good teachers and ideals. Don’t think attractive new purple buildings automatically
promote learning. The gray, old school served us well because the people in it believed in
the power of education.
