A few good men

I shall apologize for this delay in uploading the summary, cause I didn't have a convenient access to the internet.

Dawson and Downey are two marines (=a soldier who is trained, especially one in the US Marine Corps or the British Royal Marines) in the US Marine Corps at Guantánamo Bay who have unintentionally killed their fellow Santiago. They are accused now of killing them; and the lawyer Daniel is assigned to defend them in the court. Santiago had asked to be transferred through writing letters to higher ranks and this made the colonel who was the head of the marines angry. Meanwhile Jo, who is more familiar with such cases related to Guantánamo Bay tempts to help Daniel in the case. She believes the problem is related to a code called “Code Red”. Code Red is actually a special order given about lazy or casual marines in order to somehow punish them. The problem is that the colonel would not admit that he has ordered the Code Red! His fault is being so proud and at last our lawyer Daniel takes advantage of this fault.

On the way of the lawyer and his colleagues’ working hard, Mathew, who was below the colonel tries to help the two marines out of the charge. He tells Daniel that it had been a Code Red and that Santiago was not going to be transferred opposing the colonel’s statements. Mathew commits suicide unfortunately feeling guilty about Santiago’s death. Daniel bravely asks for colonel’s attendance in the court; which was a serious threat for him if it did not work. After an enthusiastic argument between Daniel and the colonel with Daniel’s trying to make the colonel accept his guilt for ordering a Code Red, the colonel’s pride makes him fall into the trap and accepts the guilt to keep his pride.

Put "to trouble" or "in trouble"...

Well, I thought this would put an end to the discussion of "how to use trouble". As you know, for several times we almost quarreled about it;) and didn't come to an obvious conclusion...

In trouble:
Difficult / Violent Situation
a situation that is difficult or dangerous; a situation in which you can be criticized or punished: If I don’t get this finished in time, I’ll be in trouble. He’s in trouble with the police.

Put someone to trouble:
Extra Effort
trouble (to sb) extra effort or work SYN bother:I don’t want to put you to a lot of trouble. I’ll get it if you like, that will save you the trouble of going out. it’s no trouble (= I don’t mind).

A Nice LOVE Story!

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it, God had put all the human "qualities" in a separate room. Since all the qualities were bored they decided to play hide & seek. "Madness" was one of the qualities and he shouted:
"I want to count, I want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek "Madness", all theother qualities agreed. So "Madness" leaned against a tree and started to count: "One, two,three..." As "Madness" counted, the qualities went hiding. "Treason" hid in a pile of garbage.. "Lie" said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom ofthe lake. And Madness continued to count "... seventy nine, eighty,eighty one..." By this time, all the qualities were already hidden except "Love ". For stupid as "Love" is, he could not decide where tohide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know howdifficult it is to hide "Love". "Madness": "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when"Madness" got to one hundred........."Love" jumped into a rose bush where he hid. And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!" As Madness turned around, "Laziness" was the first to be found,because "Laziness" was too lazy to hide. "Madness" searched madly andfound "Lie" at the bottom of the lake. One by one, Madness found them all except Love. Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, "Envy" whispered to "Madness" "You only need to findLove, and Love is hiding in the rose bush." "Madness" Jumped on the rose bush and he heard loud cry. The thorns inthe bush had pierced "Loves" eyes. Hearing the commotion God came intothe room and saw what had happened. He got very angry and cursed "Madness" and said since "Love" has become blind because of u ...ushall always be with him" And so it came about that from that day on,
"Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness!
