Entry1_Do Thi Ngoc Mai

Item1: Song

The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

There are many kinds of hardness in our life. In under no circumstances should we have to try and climb them. We maybe lose but keep moving and keep the faith you will figure out the difficulty.

Item2: Fable

The two roosters and the eagle
Two roosters were fighting by a heap of dung .One rooster was stronger than the other.He fought the other rooster and drove him away from the dung ,The hens crowded round the rooster and praised him..
The rooster wanted everyone in the neighbouring yard to hear of his strength and prowess. So he flew up onto the shed, flapped his wings and cried out::
" Look at me ,everyone.I beat a rooster!There is no other rooster in the world as strong as me."
At the moment, an eagle flew up , knocked the rooster down, dug his claws into him and carried him off to his nest.

Rhetorical devices:
-    Metaphor:
o    The rooster (winner): a strong man.
o    The eagle: a stronger man.
Message:

The enemy is often defeated by his own pride. You have to know that “you are strong but there are other men stronger than you”

Item3: cartoon



Message:
People usually don’t realize what they want to do until they are on the eagle of death. You should find down the target before you have a plan as well as pay more attention about what make your life more meaning full when you can.

  1. I am quite agreed with these messages, however I also want to add some ideas:
    - in item 1, I think the message also includes that effort is one of the most important things we need in our lives, so we should try our best to do anything.
    - About item 3, in my opinion, the author also want to show the importance of time for each other. Time flows very fast, so we need to spend your time reasonably.
    - About item 2, you really do well!!:))

  2. (item 1) Well, I see some metaphors: the center one is "the climb" - life, "There's always going to be another mountain", "Always going to be an uphill battle" - the continuous difficulties, and so on. And I agree, they are all about life and struggling.
