Hollywood

 

I read this book “Hollywood” is written many things about Hollywood. As you know, Hollywood is famous for wonderful films, and there is an essential place now, but it was different in the past. I was so surprised to hear that! In addition to this, I knew many things about Hollywood. I introduce the part of the things about the area.

First, Hollywood wasn’t call Hollywood, the place called Nopalera. I was surprised, because the famous area’s name was different at first! I introduce the summary about the origin of the name. In 1853, there was nothing there, only one small house and lots of tall cactuses. By 1870, farmers began to move to the place, because it was good to grow crops there and they called there the Cahuenga Valley. The farmers brought orange and other trees with them and the trees grew well. Therefore, more people heard the beautiful Cahuenga Valley and its wonderful weather.Harvey Wilcox and his wife Daeida often visited the area, and they loved the quiet roads and their green trees. Harvey bought land in the valley, and he wanted to sell land to people for houses. One day, Daeida heard a land near Chicago and the land’s name is Hollywood. She loved the name, and Harvey liked the name, too, so they named their land Hollywood. I didn’t know that, so I’m glad to know that.

    

       Second, I introduce the history of movies.“In the early 1890s, W.K.L.Dickson and Thomas Edison of the New York Edison Company made two inventions, the Kinetograph and the Kinetoscope.” The two inventions were used for watching moving pictures, but only one person could do! I surprised many people couldn’t watch moving pictures simultaneously. When could the people watch movies at once? “Soon after, in March 1895, the Lumiére brothers showed people in France a new invention, the Cinématographe.” The invention allowed many people to watch movies at the same time! These inventions are source of movies, and some movies were made in 1900s. The movies were silent and monochrome films. When could the people watch color movie? I want to introduce the answer, because the answer and the history about movies is so interesting! However, the continuation of the story is so long, so I want you to read this book and know the answer and the history!
