But why is this festival called‘Apple Festival’?? I'm going to tell you about history of this festival.

There were people who lived in east of the Czech Republic. They were called the Moravian. In 1753, they arrived in America. Then they brought apple seeds from Europe and sowed them. According to the record, they advice to plant six apple trees each family. After several years, around the hills and parks was filled with apple trees.

Now, North Carolina is the 7th largest apple-producing state in the nation and Henderson County is the largest apple-producing county in North Carolina. The county grows 65 percent of all the apples grown in the state.

By this history, apples were one of the important American life histories, so Apple Festival is a pledge of gratitude for Moravian.

MOVIE★

I introduce my favorite movie “Sister Act2”!!



This is a musical comedy. There is a club singer who is not famous, and she create many happenings in a convent which is sheltered her. Then she is appointed choir, and she arrange hymns to rock music. Finally, hers choir win the gospel contest!!




In the first place, gospel was made by black man, they were made to work by white man and made to change their own religion to Christianity, but they believed exist of God in Christianity, then they sing a song for God to help themselves. Gospel was since become more artistic, and it was gradually become popular in pop-music circles.



In this movie, a very famous singer appears as Rita Louise Watson, her name is Lauryn Hill. She was born in South Orange, New Jersey. She has sung at church and appeared video drama as actress when she was young. In 1988, she formed Fugees, and debuted, then she released solo album, and its CD was sold twenty million!! She sings many songs in this movie. Of all others, I like Joyful Joyful the best. If you watch this animation, you can not help crying! Her voice is powerful and beautiful, so I moved by this song.




I like this movie soundtrack better than any other movie soundtrack. It is gospel, but not ordinary!! It was arranged into rock, hip-hop and rap.

I have took singing lesson for five years, and sometimes I have sang gospel, so I was impressed with this movie when I watched more and more. Sister Act taught me enjoyments of singing. Do you become to want to watch Sister Act2?!
