Entry 1:

Item1:  parables 

The mouse, the cat, and the rooster

A little mouse went into the yard, she walked around and then went back to her mother.
_"Oh, mother, i saw two animals .One fringhting, the other nice.''''
_"Tell me what the animals were like" said the mother.
_" The frighting one was strutting about the yard"''said the mouse."He had black legs, a red comb, goggley eyes and a hooked nose. When i past , he opened his beak, raised his foot and began to shout so loudly that he scared me stiff"
_" That''s the rooster", said the old mouse."he never does anyone any harm.Don''t be afraid of him.But what about the other animal?"
_" The other one was basking in the sun.He had white neck and smooth grey feet.He licked his white chest and waved his tail gently as he looked at me"
_"You are a silly thing!" said the mouse." that was the cat"

- Rhetorical devices:
     1. Humanise the mouses, the cat and the rooster  with the human behaviors. They have language, thoughts and understand each other
     2. Antithesis: frighting-nice ; loudly-gently ;
- Messages:
     1. Don’t assess something by the appearance, the knowlege is accumulated by the experience
     2. Children are pure and naive, they evaluate something simplely as they saw


Item 2: song
 
Trouble is friend


Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh.
No Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh.
The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh.
Your fine for a while but then start to loose control.

Chorus 1:
He's there in the dark,
he's there in my heart,
he waits in the winds
he's gotta play a part.
Trouble is a friend,
yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh.
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh.
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh.
So don't forget as you ease on down the road.

Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm.
I won't let him win, but i'm a sucker for his charm.
Trouble is a friend,
yeah trouble is a friend of mine. Oh oh!

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel.
And how I try to make him leave; I try.
Oh Oh I try!

- Rhetorical devices:
     1. Repetition: “Trouble is....” ; “he’s there in ....” ; "i try"
     2. Rhyme: no-go-slow ; morn-storm ; dark-heart
              Foe-grow-know-road ; arm-charm
     3. Humanisation : trouble becomes a person who has personality and behaviors
- Message: Trouble is an important and unavoidable part of our life. Let’s go throughout it instead of going around it. It makes you become stronger and more confident, it makes our life becomes better.

 Item 3: Cartoon



- Message: People nowaday are more lazy and passive, when the problems happen, people blame for something or someone.

  1. I dont know why my comment disappeared. :(. I'll post it again.
    Item 3
    Basing on this cartoon, i quite agree with your message. However, it does not show clearly that people nowadays are more "passive". In my opinion, the cartoon just ironizes people's lack of responsibility in every life fields, which warns everyone to look back themselves.

  2. Item 1: I agree with your view. You can't judge a book by it cover. Sometimes, the appearance does not show the essence. In life, you should never appreciate a person without communicating and listening

    Trả lờiXóa
  3. item 3:
    i agree with Thanh. i don not think the word "passive" is suitable here. it just shows the laziness and irresponsibility of people nowadays

    Trả lờiXóa
  4. With the cartoon, I somewhat agree with you that human nowadays is rather lazy, they depend on outside more and more. That is reason for you opinion that they are passive?

    Trả lờiXóa
  5. It just shows either laziness or irresponsibility of people nowadays. I agree with Giang and Thanh's idea.

    Trả lờiXóa
  6. I think your item 3 has some problem. i am not sure you are right when you use the word passive in this case.

    Trả lờiXóa
  7. I think that item 3 is a little magnified because there are many people who are industrious, it is not completely definite to say that people are nowadays lazy.
