LA poem

Bad Day
Kay Ryan

Not every day
is a good day
for the elfin tailor.
Some days
the stolen cloth
reveals what it
was made for:
a handsome weskit
or the jerkin
of an elfin sailor.
Other days
the tailor
sees a jacket
in his mind
and sets about
to find the fabric.
But some days
neither the idea
nor the material
presents itself;
and these are
the hard days
for the tailor elf.

4 Elements of poetry`
Imagery and Figurative Language(metaphor,simile, create a mental picture)
-- They described with elfin tailor and also for it’s not really describing but also about “reveals” took my mind.

Sound(rhyme) - When we look at first sentence “Not every day
is a good day”, we can see that the word day repeat 2 times again, so we can know it’s rhyme there. When we look at whole poem, then we can find that “day” repeats every time like some days, bad days, days, day. Whenever we read this poem we can feel the rhyme.

Speaker (voice) - This poem is about bad day, so the whole poem is about bad things, and pretty sad, so I think the voice should be really low voice and being really quietly reading.

Form(lines, stanzas)
-- Each line the word was 3 or 4. Why is it happens ? I think it’s because of each line just contain one idea and one theme and story.

Knowing the components of culture, describe what each would look like in ancient Greece and Rome.

Ancient Greece especially had a culture about olympic. The Greeks took games of all kinds very seriously, but especially physical athletic competition. They think that the gods want to see how strong are they and how fit are they, and they especially think that the gods would see their strong body and think really cool, so they used oil and some other stuff to be a good looking body. In Greece when we say sports they especially think about "olympics." Therefore now I would write more about "olyimpic" Young men (from richer families who didn't have to work) in most Greek cities spent a lot of their time training for these competitions, and the best of them were chosen to compete against the best young men from other cities. Then they would all meet, at the Olympic Games or the Isthmian Games or elsewhere, and compete for prizes and for the favor of the gods. Of course these games also served as good training for the army, because all these men would be soldiers as well. The events were the same kind as in the Olympics today: running, jumping, throwing a javelin, and throwing a discus. Only men could compete.

Elementary of poetry

We usually share elementary of poetry by 4 ideas. First - Form Second - Voice Third - Sound
Fourth - Imgery
When we go into these four ideas we can find more things.
Form - organized, stanzas Voice - speaker Sound - rhyme Imgery - metaphor, likeors, simile, illiteration. When poetry contain these things, then the poestry is really good poem.

Task A Hums

1. What is the Economic (business) system?


In Korea economic system was like almost poorist country in the world since 1953 ~ 1980, because we had the war with North Korea since 1950 ~1953, so everything in Korea were break so South Korea was almost poorist country in the world in 1950s ~ 1980s, but after 1980, Korea grew so rapidly about economic, they import and export a lot of stuff. Therefore Korea's economic grew up so fast. However one more problem in 1997 years, "IMF" Korea had a lot of adat from the other countries, but Korea did some campagin, so people can't spend their money to drink alcohol and smoking. They donate themselves to country and finally IMF problem has gone. ~ Therefore now Korea is one of the rich country in the world.



2. What does the Social system (daily life, classes, customs, etc.) look like?


In Korea there's one problem with social system, it's "racism", like for foreinger Koreans being sometimes rude to them. I think it's because, Korea had some serious historical problem with the other country, like in 1900 ~ 1945 years Korea colonised by Japan. Japan controled everything in Korea. Therefore for now Korean still can't forget about that huge historical problems, so I think they have racism in Korea. Another thing about Korea's social system is "Education system is way to hard". In Korea from elementary 1st grade they lose their freedom at all, they have to go cram school after their local school, if they don't have cram school then they will get F for every subject in school. My opinion for this is we have to get some more freedoms when we are young people.



3. What is the Political (government) system? Who has the power?


I think it's the president has a lot of power for our country, because whenever we have some meeting with like U.S or something, president should always go there and discuss about some problems between their country. Also always the president's opinion include in any decision for country, such as like tax problem. That's why do we care so much about president.



4. What are the Religions? Describe them in detail.


Korea has religions like Buddhism, and Confucianism, and also Catholic. People in Korea does not really fight with having problem with religions.



5. What are the various Arts (especially those your nation is known for)?


I think it's about sports, because when players get old and they have to stop to playing and new people will come and they might be specialize it and also might not be really good, so for EX) 38 old soccer players stop to play soccer anymore, and Korea national team was bad, but one time new person came to national team, and he's really good at soccer, so Korea became a strong country. Through this we can know.



6. What are various Technologies that are a part of life in your country?


Korea is one of the best country for technologies, such as many brends like samsung is from Korea and Hyundy is also from Korea, and also KIA is from Korea. Korea has many pc rooms but Japan had pc rooms faster than Korea, and now Korea has more pc rooms than Japan. Also many games are from Korea.


7. How does Geography affect ESPRAT in your home country? Go into rich details breaking down each component of ESPRAT.

In Korea there's cities in Korea. Seoul is the capital city in Korea most people live in Seoul or around Seoul. Every cities has different sounds, like sounds effect, seoul's Korean is the standard Korea language, but in Bu-San they add some effects in standard Korean in Seoul, and it looks weird to Seoul people. However still we can communicate each other.

What do government do ?

Government is organize of a country. Whenever citizens have problems, they visit government and government would solve questions. We probably can say that government people are representative people in that country. Government people lead their country like in any catergories, such as economic and environment, etc ,, like they count citizens tax and if there's something wrong they should solve that questions, so usually we can say that the government people do all things about a country. Varieties of their jobs are teachers for teaching students, because teaching is also part of their education system and also for country like when students grow up part of them might be a huge person and special person. Another jobs for government are like special offical for country, like police to protect their country from criminals. Everythings are connected by government, whenever we do some important thing, government should permit us to do something, and if they say we are not allow to do it, then we can't do it. We know how government is important for their country, so we care so much about government.

5 learning outcomes

I am going to write about how was I doing with 5 outcomes in 2 weeks.

Person of high character: We have a lot of new students here, most new students almost adapted, but still some of them are not really being active here, so I tried to be friendly with them, and show them respect. Sometimes I do some joke with my friends as a kidding, and often the kidding cross the line that I can't cross. I feel so sorry about it and I would think about it more next time when I do some joke with my friends and also during we play something.

Active learner: My English is getting better now, especially from 1 month ago, so I understand everything in class, and I know what to do, so it's really funny in class, so I ask whenever I have question about subjects, and teachers are always open mind, so I can have great relationship with them. Also for friends who have some problem with understanding and also for new students don't know how to do some activities, I help them.

Effective communicater: I think recently I am being really effective communicater in math class, because the section of what we are doing now in math is really curious. Also I like that kind of questions. To knowing something and gain our knowledge is really good thing, so I would be more effective communicater and I would like to get more knowledge.

Critical thinker and problem solver: There are still new students in our school, and some subject like a math, they might have some problems with doing GSP, so when new students ask me something I just solve their question if I know that question. Also think with critical way.

Community contributors: I think I do help people in our school, with any problems, but when I get to situations that I can't help them and I don't mind to help them, like playing soccer and they just come to me and asking me for help them. Then I get annoy to them, so sometimes I say "I will help you later", and it would be really cool if I can help them with any questions even the situation is kind of annoying. I will try !!

Science blogging

Blog: What science skills did you use during the SMASH Day activity? How do these science skills help us be better scientists?

I used gravity with doing the thing, like I thought that if we don't have anything hold it bottom I know it's going to fall down, so we made square with A4 paper, and hold the bottom of the stuff, that our group could even hold the thing, if the bottom was arch or something that it doesn't really have angle, it would be fall down right away.
I also thought about the how weight is going to be about holding thing between top and bottom, because if it's to light and top thing is to heavy it's going to fall down, and if it's fit it's going to be fit, so we thought about it and we used it to make our thing.
