Compare and Contrast

The journey of John and the coyote is a great contrast to look at. The journey of John is a mystery to him, he might die, he might not go to heaven, he might get killed on the route, but he moves on. The journey of the coyote was a play, he was just walking around and came upon this mysterious giant that can eat other people.
John's journey was base on a strong dream, a very solid background for him to start this incredible journey while the coyote's journey was just for fun and came upon. John have a very strong spiritual desire for his journey while the coyote is really just playful on his journey. Their encounter was really diffrent too, John had to prevent all of his obstacles and run away while the coyote killed the giant easily just by finding his heart in the cave. John's setting of the story also differs from that of the coyote's. He went to a place where everybody is dead, and the coyote was saving everybody.
Their journey however have some resemblance on the settings. They both faced things from the forest, Jogn had to avoid the forest people while the coyote also faced a giant and some people from the forest. The both of them received a warning from someone on their journey to ask them to turn back and abandon the path while they regarded the warning and moved forward.

Conflicts - Internal and External

By the waters of bablyon talks about the main character goes on the journey to New York, the place of the dead and the Gods. The place of the Gods were forbidden to travel to, the east are not for people to go to and it was said that the ground burns forever.

The main character faced huge internal conflict. The pressure in the start of the story by his father was quite great as he kept on telling him it is forbidden and you shall not let your dreams are you. Later on he decided to go on to the place of the gods, regarding the conssequences on his soul or the pressure around him. Death in the place of gods created a big conflict to his mind, he tried to tell himself that he saw enough but his inner mind wouldn't beleive that and he proceeded. The tales also created a great conflict in his mind about the things that is in there.

The external conflict are the things around the city of the Gods. The city of the gods had radiation before but as time passes, the radiation passed and the main character did not feel the radiation. The forest people was a great external conflict as they might kill him and stop his journey. The lake was strong, the dogs in the city is fierce and the spirits that he said is around him. He believed that his the son of a priest and no harm can hunt him, the belief helped him out of troubles and his faith was his ultimate power.

The main character faced alot of internal conflict as the thoughts of spirit and death troubles him much. The further he gets in the city he expierences more and more of the place of the gods and he learns how to avoid danger such as using a door.

Unfamiliar Place

I remember the smell of fresh cut grass everyday when i go to Cal Poly in America for my summer classes. Cal Poly is a local College around my house and is a actually pretty famous school for their architectures. I remember the first day i was walking alone from my car to my classroom. Wondering what the people will be over there and their ages. Hoping that i can get along with them. As i walk, i have the urge to touch the classrooms and feel the wood and think about my summer. As i walk near it, i smell the people smoking cigarettes and then i realize i will be hanging out with lots of 20 to 25 years old people. It was a interesting expierence as i see all these Saudi Arabians or koreans all hanging out together and smoking. As the first day passed, i immediatly get to know my first friend. She was a big smoker but she continually to advise me not to smoke. After my first friend, i immediatly know all the other people in the school, then everyone know me, the teachers, the passers all know me. It was a very interesting expierence for me the knowing all these people and starting from someone who is absolutly new to a new palce can get to know everybody so fast. One of my favorite thing in the College is the cafe. Drinking starbucks is probably the biggest boost you will need for your day and pleasure. Me and mmy friends often sit in the cafe and discuss the super hard materials i get in the school, plato's theory, Carl Marx and Eric Fromm. All these are fustraqting and fun to study with a friend. The smell of coffee and hot girls in the coffee shop are also a pleasure for me. The hottest waiter in starbucks was so used to seeing me all the time she always know what i want and we became good friend. It seems liek i just change the big campus to another one of my big party house with all these friends around me all the time.

QuickWrite - By the Waaters of Babylon

The famous novel, The lord of the rings was a great and fantastic book of adventure. Inside the book, the main characters, Frodo and Sam embark on a journey to get rid of the ring, the powerful ring that can turn whoever wears it invisible and actually quite evil. In the story, i believe that Frodo doesn't learn much, while Sam learned important moral and value in a man.

Frodo's role to me was a wierd man. He didn't seem to learn anything throughout the movie except maybe he was acting more and more cooperate to Sam but he was actually looked kind of mean or spoiled. In the end the whole journey was somehow way too much for him and he left with the elves to their lands for redemption on his soul and mind.

On the other hand, I believe Sam learned quite alot and his good man heart was even better. His was very caring to Frodo, warning about the journey and became more and more tolerant to him as the road gets more harsher and dangerous. He was willing to take risk and face danger then Frodo did. In the end he had a great life and a great wife. I believe that was a happy ending for Sam for all his growth of tolerance and caring.

Making time more slowly

Writers can make time moves very very slowly, like its been a hundred years when only 10 minutes passed. They can also make millions of years time pass right at this very second. The usage of words and the punctuation stnads a very big part in how the writers change the time of a story.

Finney uses alot of flashbacks for the character, he have a major part of the story thinking what might be like if he fell down the ledge and nthe times that he have spent doing all that work. There are also other techinuques where Finnry uses alot of punctuation mark such as commas and no periods. Making the sentence rather long and stretches the time. Careful details also increase the time zone. A moving of a muscle, a tingle in the toe and all that flow of inner feelings can cause agreat load of time and words to be used and feel like time have passed for 1 and 2 hour when all the thing Tom have been thinking was ust simply 8 minutes.

values

Each person's values differs, some may say their family and others may say is something within themselves that makes their life inportant. I believe that an outside force is stronger than an inside force, such as friends. Your friendss matters alot of your descisions in life rather than your families. I improve by doing things with a friend rather than with my family, friends and friends can pull themself together due to their similar in interest and i believe that's the thing that makes a person to improve what they're good at. With improvements you can grow better and better at the things you like and get the approves of other people. Friends also affects diffrent parts of a person's life besides improving both of your interests they also supports you alot.
I found that sometimes having the approval of multiple friend is greater than your parents as your friends are excited abotu watching you doing something that you have never tried before. A friends impact on one of oyur descions are also essential. They might tell you something is bad once and you already decided to change your mind while your parents tell you millions of times and you didn't care and you kept on doing the exact same thing.
Friends are a greater im,pact on me than parents even though my parents always supprted me, however i think that the judgements and support a friend gives me are even more effective than a member of my family give me.

The house of flying daggers

The setting and the plot of "The House of flying dagger" is rather interesting. The picture showed a very clear situation of excitement and a signal of surprise as the people on the bamboos show. The people are upside down in a gesture of sliding down without their face shown, a very interesting and surprising way to appear. The background of the picture with a very thick fog on the ground while the light could still shine through is a very secretive setting, signaling that this place is not suppose to be seen. The horizon of the picture as it fades out into the background is also interesting, right at the point the fog and land meets it disappears. The man and the guys on top could be allies or enemies, the way its taken and how the main person in the picture is facing made it hard to tell. This is one very interesting picture as it uses light, fogs, and gestures to clearly shows the mystery of the setting adn the element of surprise.

A Expierence, shared all around the world

Anybody in the world will always have a first crush or a first hatred of somekind, it didn't matter if it was to books, a person, your mom and dad, a rule, or maybe a thing your firend did. All this is part of emotional release and everybody have a common expierence of this. I beleive a perfect example for a expierence that is shared by all people is definetly the feelings of love and hatred. These two feeling are shared universally and carried out diffretly by everyone.
Everyone treated love a diffrent way, some will secretly love a girl or a boy while some other people will very open;y proposed and express their feelings to everyone. Everyone carrys it out in their own fashion and some amy go so radical they will sacrifice everything they have just for a smile or a wink from their love ones. It got so exteme they lost everything due to their love ones but they feel its nothing. I've known friends who are so shy to the people they love they wouldn't tell anyone or even go talk to her, while one of my other friend devoted all his time hext to his dream girl regarding homework, snack or lunch money just for her.

Hate is a common understanding for everybody, and it might just get overdosed when someone hates everything that's around them. The opposite of love is hate and people will definetly have a taste of both feelings. People can hate everyhting, starting from a game, a movie, a family member, someone from school, anything can be hated by a person. Its a global expierence as it can get stronger and more dangerous to everyone such as murder. Hatred can easily happen to everyone and it can also get stronger around people as it turns into the thought if killing someone.
