Poetry appreciation

I think that I have been able to appreciate poems more. Before our class did some analyzing poems, I did not know what poems talk about usually. Furthermore, I have also learned the different methods that are commonly used by the poets to express their feelings like using sound words, words that rhymes, simile, metaphors... I have also learn the different types of poem. For example: Haiku, which has 5 syllabus in the first line, then 7 syllabus in the second, and lastly 5 syllabus again. Some of the poems are in a more serious style and have rhymes in the poem whereas some are free-verse. Personally, I prefer the serious style of writing as that is easier to read and understand. I like one of the poems that we go through on the daffodils very much as it really makes me visualize the scene of the poem. The poet describe the daffodils using similes like stars, milky way. Therefore, I think that we should discuss and analyze more poems in class together.

2 Things I learn in Language Arts

I think that I have learnt how to do comprehension in a more effective way. Firstly, I have never done the way to analyze a passage that Mr. Lundberg teaches us. I find it very effective. The method is write down 3 general ideas that you can observe from the passage. Next, you would need to highlight the main points of the passage. For those vocabulary questions that you might not know the meaning of the word, you would need to see the context of the sentence. Other than that, you can still is the prefixes, suffixes, and the root word of the word so as to guess the meaning. This method of guessing the meaning could be also used in reading storybooks as I would feel tired to check the dictionary if you see any words that you do not know in the passage especially when there is a lot of new words. Therefore, I think that my comprehension and summary writing is improving!

Next I also think that I have learnt to write better especially writing blogs. Blogs is just like writing a journal which everybody can see. Therefore, we must be very careful of what we post. We have also learnt in one of the Language Arts lesson not to pst racist comments on blogs. and we have also went through one incident about a person posting racist comments on blog. This people might want to make their blogs seem more interesting and attract more readers but they should also know what to say. Now, after writing different types of blog posts relating to the school, I think that I can write more fluently now as compared to previously and it is also easier to express my thoughts! Now, writing blogs is not a type of homework to me and I feel that it is more to a relaxation. However, I also hope that we should not be restricted to write only about things related to the school as I think that we should be exposed to write different things.

Walking away analyse

Step 2: Loosing, escaping, sad, dissapointed, memories, shadow.
Step 4: Touch-lines, eddying away, irresolute, football, satellite, selfhood, pathos, gnaws at my mind still, like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem, day/play/away, see/free/be, away/convey/clay, so/show/go.
Step 5: no adverbs, absence of fullstops, gnaws at my mind still, like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem.
Step 6: day/play/away - rhymes, see/free/be, - rhymes, away/convey/clay -rhymes, so/show/go -rhymes.
Step 7: No.
Step 8: I think that this poem wants to tell people about the feeling of a parent seeing his child growing up, and one day leaving him. I know this as he wrote "like a winged seed loosened from a parent stem". He was very sad to see his child leave him, as he wrote "that hesitant figure, eddying away", shows that he is not willing to let go.
Step 9: a) persona b)a particular person c) sad d) neutral e) it sounds more formal and it is easier to read as every one. three, five of a paragragh rhymes f)I have understood the poem better. I have learnt how to use the different methods of writing a poem like rhyming, simile, metaphors etc. to create a better effect on the poem.
Step 10: I think that the writer is trying to tell parents that one day, parents have to let go and let their children enter the real world and face reality. Although one would be sad seeing his children leave him, he must know that it is for his child's own good.

Poem: A Gluttonous mice

There once was a gluttonous mice.

Everyday, it'd throw a dice.

Superstitious it was,

to say,"Of course!

Dice'd bring me a lot of rice!"

Poem: Listening to Sounds

I heard the owls hooting in the dark.

I heard the sheep bleating beyond the hill.

I heard the wolves howling under the moon.

I heard the sparrow chirping on the trees.

I heard the dogs barking at the rabbit.

I heard the horses neighing on the field.

I heard the bulls snorting behind the fence.

I heard the bees buzzing in front of the flowers.

I heard the frogs croaking on a lily pad.

I heard the mice squeaking in its hole.

I heard the roosters crowing in the morning.

I heard the turkeys booming to each other.

I heard the pigeons cooing peacefully.

I heard the ducks quacking on the water.

I heard the pigs grunting in the mud.

I heard the cats meowing in its warm basket.

Life is a wrestling match

Life is a wrestling match and you never know

your future, which lays ahead of you.

Victory or failure?

You have to fight yourself.

You clench your fist, tighter and tighter,

knowing that fate, lies in your hand.

You stared at him, he stared at you.

Ever so cold, ever so silent.

You bit your lips and shivered in fear,

waiting for him to strike.

The teacher was fierce,

her look was scary,

we had no choice

but to listen intently.

The clock slowly tick away,

ever so slow.

My stomach was groaning with hunger,

and it was one more minute left, RECESS!

The aroma of fried rice

wafted into my nostrils,

and into my stomach it goes!

Back to class,

and study!

Droaning of teacher's voice,

and the unbearable heat in class.

BOREDOM!

At last the bell rung,

carried my bag,

and home sweet home!

The bag was heavier, much heavier,

with tons of homework in it.

Poetry

There is another sky by Emily Dickinson

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

This writer uses hyperbole method, like “another sky”, “another sunshine”, “ever serene and fair”, “leaves are ever green” and “unfading flowers”. All this words are sort of exaggerating and that is why it is hyperbole. The poet uses this method to write this poem because he or she wanted to invoke an emotion or a language to the reader.

I like this poem because I feel that I really can understand what the writer is trying to tell us. This also means that the poet has succeeded in his work. I always loved nature, and the poet wrote all the little things that he or she observed in nature though that may not be the point which he or she is trying to tell us. This poet also described the garden as if a heavenly place and all the sentence which she writes flows very naturally. Therefore, among all the poems, I like this poem most as it is short and sweet.

No Free Health Care in Singapore

“There is no free health care in Singapore.” Says Health Minister of Singapore.

As the medical fees are getting more expensive nowadays, citizen of Singapore are complaining for free health care in Singapore. However, the Health Minister of Singapore insists on no free health care in Singapore. He claims that if health care is going to be free, then the citizens of Singapore would not be aware of the importance of their own heath and would take their own health for granted.

I totally agree with his statement. Although countries like Australia might have free health care, it does not mean that their citizens would be like the Singaporeans. If one does not take care of their own health properly like they fight and when they play soccer they play in a very rough way, when they get very seriously injured until their injury is incurable, they would regret forever. Australians know the importance of their health. Therefore, Singaporeans must learn from them if they want to have free health in Singapore. However, I think that the Health Minister of Singapore should spare a thought for those who are poor. If they get sick, they would have no money to pay the medical fees. Therefore, I would suggest that the health minister of Singapore to give free health care to only those who are needy.

Increasing Numbers of Underage Drinking

Nowadays, more and more teenagers and adolescent are being caught for underage drinking. Why is this so? This is because those selling beer and alcohol does not care and does not bother to check if the people are below 18 years old although they know that this is against the law. They only cared if the teenagers could afford to pay the money for the beer. If the teenagers get drunk, they could get into brawls. Teenage girls that get drunk could also get raped or being physically bullied by other people. Therefore, I sat that this shopkeepers that sells beer and alcohol are being very irresponsible.

However, I am not blaming the entire fault on these shopkeepers. The teenagers have to be blamed too. These teenagers are surely aware that underage drinking is not allowed in Singapore. However, they still drink when they are underage. The reason behind this is simply because they did not study well and often failed their exams, therefore, they think that everything is over and drown their sorrow in beer and alcohol. Most people would think that their parents are at fault too. However, in most of the time, their parents do not know where they are going as they just say that they are going out with their friends. Let us go back to the topic again. Why are there an increasing amount of teenagers drinking when they are underage? In my opinion, I think that this is because the standard of the exams are getting harder and harder and thus, more teenagers are failing their exams and felt that they have no potential in studying and gave up.

E-Resource Feature Focus: History

I think that this type of learning is much better than just memorizing the facts. If one only memorize the facts because of marks, he or she would be probably bored of memorizing after a while unless that person find any interesting facts that he or she would be interested in looking for more information on that particular fact. However, in this case, one is not being forced to memorize facts because it is being tested or marks were being allocated to that particular topic. Contradictory, one is just reading casually about the history of countries and therefore, one would most probably find interest in doing this type of reading as there are no marks allocated so there would be no stress and one also would benefit from it as he or she would learn more about the history and would look for more information himself.

However, as this website does not cite external sources of information and is single-handedly maintained by Russell Tarr, the Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, therefore, students are needed to exercise their good judgment when referring to these resources. Most students might think that this is very troublesome. However, through exercising good judgments, they would also develop critical thinking skills, which would help them in answering inference questions in Integrated Humanities. Therefore, I think that learning like this is much efficient than learning in the school as this is active learning but in school, most of the time we would only memorize facts.

Dear all,

I think that we should have more of this NLB Book Exchange event. It benefits us a lot. As it allows the public to exchange their used books and share their passion for reading with one another, it will certainly make people learn how to appreciate books and develop a reading passion. Young students like us certainly need motivation to read more books especially chinese books as they are less read and not appreciated. Therefore, students tend to read more english books and dislike chinese books. I hope events like this will promote the reading of chinese books. This event also supports the call to adopt a green lifestyle through environment-friendly practices, such as recycling and reducing wastage which is very good as the global warming is getting worse and worse and getting out of control. This event would certainly let people know that the environment is very important as we were told to bring our own plastic bags. However, I think that we seriously need more activities like this as the temperature is rising at a very fast rate, causing the polar caps to melt. We need to let people know the importance of the environment as quick as possible as many people are still non-environmental friendly and if it goes on like this, the condition of the global warming would worsen. Therefore, having more of events are certainly very important as it benefits people in many many ways!

Thinkings on library week

Dear all,

I think that we should have more of events like this as it benefits us a lot. It allows the public to exchange their used books and share their passion for reading with one another, it will certainly make people learn how to appreciate books and develop a reading passion. It also is a good way of recycling books that are to be thrown away(maybe). Nowadays, young students like us certainly need motivation to read more books especially chinese books as they are less read and not appreciated. Therefore, students tend to read more english books and dislike chinese books. I hope events like this will promote the reading of chinese books. For the part on games, I am also very supportive as it bonds students together. However, if students treat this very competitively, this games would not end up nice as students would be angry or be a sore-loser if they lose. I am also very pleased with the donation part. we must support people that are old, disabled or poor that needs help. They are very pitiful and there should be more activities of this kind that promotes donation. Having all these events, the library is very active.

a)When she offered flowers to the sacred rock in the sea: http://images.travelpod.com/users/ulka/10.1253142917.offering-flowers-light-to-ganga.jpg

b)When the medicine-man arrived to help her mother: http://www.dlisted.com/files/3_21_112307_delgado_mary.jpg

c)When Pinto is poisoned: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2128/2466981095_54123aa6e3.jpg

a) It can be seen that this woman in the picture is very shocked. Her mouth is wide opened, her hands are touching her cheeks astonishment, her forehead crinkled up and her eyes are full of disgust, astonishment, fear and sadness. Lila must be very shocked too at that time too seeing Pinto, being poisoned. She must be also very scared of this person who poisoned Pinto and worried if he would find them and hurt them again. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.

b) It can be seen that the woman’s face in the picture is full of anxious, sadness and a little of relief. Lila, seeing that a medicine man had come to see her mother, who has a high fever then, must be relieved. However, she is still not sure if the medicine man can save her mother therefore she is anxious and sad. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.

c) It can be seen that this old Indian’s face is very solemn and serious, offering flower. Lila is certainly very solemn too as this procession is offering blessings to the god. Lila is most probably wishing to the god and hope that her mother will turn well and her father would abstain from toddy and their life would be better. Therefore, I think that this picture fits the context very well.

The music that I think that would fit well with the first five chapters of "the village by the sea" is Chopin's Prelude 06 B minor Lento Assai - 'Tolling bells', which was played at Chopin's funeral. The link to this song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP45-zmQd40 . This song is very serene and quiet, starting and ending in a very sad tune. As life is very hard on Hari, he seems to see the future as very dull and hopeless. Therefore, the music is soothing but sad. As previously being mentioned, this song was being played at Chopin’s funeral, so the music is certainly very sorrow and grief. Hari’s mother could not walk and his father is a drunkard who only knows how to drink and owe a lot of people money. He also always takes the money earned by Lila and Hari to spend on toddy. Hari and Lila are no longer studying because they need to help out with the housework at home. Everyday seems to be the same and boring, therefore, the boy’s future seems very bleak, which is expressed as the tune of the music and the stress of the boy and the girl is being expressed as the background music, which is a very dead and solemn beat. I hope you will enjoy the musicand understand more on the music!

Preparation of Chapathi

Roll out two more chapatis, then begin to cook. Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat, then place a chapati on the griddle. Cook for 30 seconds, then flip it over, cook for another 30 seconds and flip again. The chapati should puff up and become freckled. When this occurs, remove it from the griddle to a towel-lined basket, brush lightly with ghee or clarified butter, and cover to keep warm. Stack the breads on top of each other. When the first three are done, reduce the heat under the griddle and roll out the next 3 chapatis; then turn up the heat and cook them. Continue rolling and cooking, rolling and cooking, until the dough is gone.

Choice of music for "The lamb to the slaughter" by Roahl Dahl

The music that I think suit best is Chopin Nocturne no. 8 op. 27 no. 2. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cxkLZoEFEk&feature=related .

The music starts very soothingly in major key, just like when Mr Maloney came home, her wife thought that it would be any other ordinary night that is peaceful and calm. However the music slowly change into still soothing, but in minor key.The meaning is that the wife starts to sense that something is fishy and not right. Slowly, the music starts to ascend louder and louder, as Mr Maloney told her wife that he wanted a divorce, which is a big shock to Mrs Maloney. Mrs Maloney did not dare to believe what she heard, and the music quieten down in a sorrow tune as she felt that everything is over. The music then turned in to major key in different pace like brief or slow as she thought for a moment the different happiness that they had together previously. However, as she turned back to face reality, she started to become very angry, disappointed and have the urge of wanting "revenge" as the music turn into the loudest of the whole song as thoughts raced through her mind and she gets very infuriated. "Why did my husband betrayed me? Why did he..." Mrs Maloney thought. As the music turns very quickly from minor to major, then from major as Mrs Maloney killed her husband with the lamb leg. Then the music turns into very peaceful as she thought that what will happen to her and her child inside her stomach?And as she faced the reality, she thought that she was going to get killed and she thought once again that everything was over.

Thinkings

I think that the princess, which was semi-barbaric would rather kill the man than let the other women marry him as she was a cruel and heartless person. If I were the princess, I would also kill the man or else I would certainly be mocked at by the other woman as she stole her man away from her and had succeeded. Partly because that she was a princess, that is why she would not allow anybody to hurt her pride or break her heart. She was a princess, not any other ordinary woman who had no power. She was selfish, and her selfishness resulted in a person's death. Would she regret killing him? I think that she would most probably forget that she killed the man she loved so much as she most probably have done this type of things. However, this would cast a shadow over her heart and she would always, or forever feel that something inside is loss. If the princess had cherished her love and if they were so true to each other, then the princess would have begged her father not to do the test on him or else, she would have told him the forget her pride and tell him the door to the marriage. In a nutshell, I think that love is not selfishness and it would need a sacrifice when needed.

Ending("The lady, or the tiger?"by Frank R. Stockten)

Slowly, the man opened the door. Suddenly, the air seemed to tense up. The moment seemed like eternity. Perspiration dripped from the man's forehead, his back soaked with sweat. For a moment, everything seemed to pause. Everybody stared at the door and watched. Nothing seemed to come out. "Was that the silence before death or the..."the man thought out loud.

The princess had betrayed him. A huge tiger, almost thrice the size of him, stepped out of the metal cage. It bared its sharp fangs, and let out a loud roar. Not those skinny, young, weak and inexperience tiger but it was those that would send chill down an experience and armed hunter's spine. Its fur, or rather its coat, reflected light off its smooth skin under the blazing hot sun.

Without any warning, the tiger pounced. Swift and silent, the tiger arched its back and landed on the man's body, pinning the man to the ground. The man struggled for its life but to no avail. The tiger was too strong for him. It slashed at him with its sharp jaws and stood back for a moment.

The man tried to stand up, but he was too weak. Then, he collapsed to the ground with a loud "thud". He used his last ounce of strength to turn his head to look at the princess. Everything he saw was red. The princess stared at him with eyes so cold and hard. When the tiger finally did his fatal pounce, the man saw the princess turn her head away. However, he saw tears brimmed in the princess's eyes before total darkness. A man, a true man died in the evil hands of a princess.

Hello readers,

There are alot of differences between the movie of Lamb to the slaughter and the real story of Lamb to the slaughter.

1) Mrs Maloney was not sewing when her husband was coming home.

2) In the story, Roahl Dahl did not specify what Mr Maloney told Mrs Maloney but yet in the movie Mr Maloney said that he had an affair with another woman.

3) In the movie, Mr Maloney actually told Mrs Maloney to try to stop him from leaving the house when Mrs Maloney beg him not to leave her.

4) Mrs Maloney ate some grapes in the movie but not in the story.

5) Mrs Maloney rehearsed in the story but not in the movie.

6) Mrs Maloney push over tables and chairs and dropped her groceries and did not scream in the movie but in the story, Mrs Maloney did not push over tables and chairs and did not dropped her groceries but screamed in the story.

7) The policemen came and said that it seemed more like a fight took place in the movie but in the story the policeman did not say anything.

So, readers, I think that writing a story and filming a movie have different purposes so filming may change the story line of the story.

(Diary of Mrs. Maloney from "Lamb to the slaughter" by Roahl Dahl)

Dear diary,

I'm very tired today. Not only tired, but also sad, disappointed, shocked, and most of all, confused. Why did all this things happen to me??? How am i going to live from today onwards??? Oh, what am i going to do??? Hope that you will listen to all the things that happened today.

I killed somebody, dear diary. But i don't seem to regret. Why??? Am i becoming a cold-blooded murderer???Sigh, i just feel that all the things are over.

I loved and hated that person. He seems to be a nice person, but when i get to know him, he seems to be those kind of irresponsible jerk, that took love as a kind of game. Don't you know him well, dear diary???

I was waiting for my husband this very night, excited and happy. Today, I had gone for a check-up and the doctor said that i was pregnant!!! I was sure that my husband would be extremely happy when he know that we would soon have a baby.

"Brroommmmmm!!!"I heart pounded hard and fast. My husband was back. Just as i expected, i heard a key turning on the lock and a tall, big figure walk in the door. A detective, he was.

"Hi darling!"I told him and kissed his cheek."Let me take off your coat, will you?"

"No."His voice was cold and hard. From that instant, I feel that something is wrong. Usually, he was not like that. Maybe he was tired, i thought. Then I poured him whisky and said,"Darling, you are tired, aren't you?"He kept quiet and stared blankly outside the window, into the dark. Then he gulped down his drink. "Should i pour another bottle of drink..."I asked sincerely.

"I'll do it." he said. He stood up."No, I'll do it." I said."I can do it."he said in a firm tone."Now, darling.I think it is going to be quite a shock to you.I hope you wouldn't get angry."

An affair with another woman!!! I was totally flabbergasted. I felt dizzy. NO, he must be joking. I lied to myself."You must be joking, darling?"I forced a bitter smile. But he shook his head.

"I would make your supper."As i walk into the kitchen, I felt as if the sky is falling. My husband even lied to me!!!He told me that he had conference daily, and I actually suspected him and started to question him but i actually believed him. I thought that we still had love in each other. I thought...

I took out the frozen lamb leg and took it out for my husband. And I saw him packing up. "Don't go!!!"I feel as if the world is falling apart and i am actually crying and begging my husband. "Try to stop me."He seems to be a totally different person now. A cold and heartless creep. He did not even turn around and talk to me and continued packing. Simmering with rage, I finally boiled over. I walked up straight to him and "WHAM!!"

And he was dead. Lying there on the ground, he was stone-dead.

Now, i start to figure out that trouble was brewing. Police would come!!!

Being a detective's wife, I knew exactly how the police did their investigation. First, I rehearsed in a mirror so that I wouldn't sound suspicious, then i needed to find an allibi. I went to the grocer to buy some vegetables and when i went home, I made a mess in the living room to make the scene look like a fight, i threw my bag of groceries down and screamed as loudly as possible, hoping my neighbours could hear me. Secondly, I placed the lamb into the oven. Then, I called the police...

In a jiffy, the police came. The policemen were trying to find out who the murderer is, looked for clues and the weapon used for killing. The police searched everywhere, then finally came to the oven.
"You are hungry, right?Would you like to have some lamb chop and coffee?" I asked the policemen. After some agreement issues, they agreed as I beautiful lamb leg and served it with coffee to the policemen. While eating, the words that i would never forget is, "We searched the house, and what if the weapon was right under out noes!"

Diary, am i evil???Have i done wrongly???Anyway, thank you for letting me pour out all my misery to you. Hide yourself properly!!!

Love, Me.

Hi everybody,

The previous topic that i have learnt in my Language Arts class is plagiarism. I have learnt that plagiarism is an illegal way to copy another's original idea and work, yet still many people chose to commit it. A plagiarist faces heavy fines and may sentence to jail. Some people commit plagiarism intentionally because they think it is fun or maybe because they think people cannot catch them plagiarizing. Some do it to quick-fix researches, some commit the crime accidentally by paraphrasing or does not quote facts. I think that we should not plagiarize as I think that this is the same as stealing. We be fair to the original author as it is their hard work. We should come up with our own ideas before making reference. If we want to use other people's ideas, we must cite its source. Some people may not know when to cite a source, so I feel that the best way is when in doubt, cite sources or just come up with our own ideas. By citing sources, one would make his idea more original as his idea is distinguished from those of his sources. So, I hope all of us would not plagiarize and think of ideas using our own abilities!!!

According to the results of the "meaningful" diagnostic test, I have learnt that i am actually logical, myself smart, nature smart and a little of word smart, people smart and not that much of music smart and picture smart.

I seriously doubt that the test results is even true. Firstly, the test results show that i am actually logical. However, in my P6 life, i was always reprimanded by my chinese teacher because my composition was always out of the point. Or maybe, I have become more logical? :P Anyway, i don't think that i am not music smart, because I learn piano till grade 5 and my parents always say that i am musical and i like to listen to lots of music like chopin's nocturne, mozart's sonata and some other non-classical music like John Denver's song. And maybe i have become less musical???

Though, I do agree that I am myself smart as I think that learning by myself is more effective than learning in a group(for me!!:D) because there are surely a lot of distractions when people work in a group as the more playful ones might suggest to play and so the work will be left undone.

Now, to nature smart!! Why am i nature smart???I am nature smart as I care about the nature simply because I LOVE THE NATURE!! I hate selfish people who causes pollution to the earth like people who smoke and companies that cut down so much trees that even they lost count of the amount of trees they cut down. Actually, i cannot blame them totally when I myself have not achieve to be VERY environmentally-friendly. Actually all this issues about the pollution and destroying of earth are ALL caused by HUMANS, which are ourselves!!

WOWWW!!!I did not know that i am a little of word smart and people smart!! HAHA!! Maybe it is just because I learn faster when i know the meaning of words or learning with people???

I know that I am not picture smart because I do not really work well with pictures like mind maps and photos though i know that I can appreciate beautiful drawn pictures. OK, at least i know that i have to improve on picture smart!!

Though I think that this test is not 100 percent true, however, at least I analysed where my weakness are and I will try my best to improve!!
