ASP Assignment7 -The Desert Island-

We discussed what should we take 12 items to the island. My friends said very interesting opinions, therefore I enjoyed very much!!

I think we should take
pot, knife, rope, matches, gun/ammunition, fishing pole, first-aid kid, chain saw, toothbrushes/toothpaste, TV, and book.

My friend said that we should take only the item to enjoy our life, because we can live without some items by using nature creatively. It's so interesting opinion, however I cannot make some useful goods from nature. We need at least pot, knife, rope, matches, gun/ammunition, and first-aid kid to live in. Pot can use to cook and to store water. Others are not so important. I like toothbrushing, therefore I need toothbrushes and toothpaste.

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is the Fisherman as Artist. That's because this novel is strongly influenced by Hemmingway's experience. Hemmingway loves fishing and seek the romance in the sea, therefore the old man behaves as artist. For example, the old man go on fishing in spite of he cannot catch fish for eighty four days, and he fight with the big fish for a long time. Moreover he is proud of that he is a fisherman. He respect DiMaggio whose father is a fisherman. It is difficult to understand why the old man is particular about fishing. By using the approach that the fisher man as artist, however, reader can understand why the old man run a risk.

ASP Assignment6 -P&D practice-

We practiced P&D. We didn't have enough time to prepare for presentation, however, everyone did very interesting presentation. It was difficult for me to ask a question because I concentrated on listening English. I couldn't afford to think. I have to be a good audience!! In our group, we had active discussion. We had complex and interesting topic. For example, Japan is good democracy or not. I don't remember why we discussed this topic, however, I enjoyed this discussion. I haven't done my presentation yet, therefore, I am very nervous. However I will do my best!!

ASP Assignment6

We learned how to use google document to present some topics.
My thesis was ''chocolate.'' It was difficult for me to find a likely movie, so I thought it is important to select good thesis. And I enjoyed presentation, because everyone select very interesting topics, for example "natto" and "disney." It is difficult for me to use computer. However, by using computer, we can watch movie. It is effective way to use movie in presentation, because audience can understand a topic easily.

ARW Blogging Assignment5

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him. Three adjectives that describe Santiago are old, confident, and kind. The reason why he is old is that according to OMS, he is thin and gaunt with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck, and the author call Santiago an old man. The reason why he is confident is that he went to the sea alone, even though he was old. I think that he want to show Manolin that he was strong by fishing big fish by himself. The reason why he is kind is that Santiago suggest to Manolin that he should stay with a lucky boat. Santiago thought about Manolin very well. Three adjectives that describe Manolin are kind, faithful, and lucky. The reason why he is kind is that he took care of Santiago very much. For example, Manolin said to Santiago "Keep warm old man," when Santiago was going to bed, and Manolin made dinner for Santiago. The reason why he is faithful is that he obey his papa's advice obediently . And Manolin said that "I must obey papa." Manolin is a good child. The reason why he is lucky is that he has a lucky boat. Only by changing a boat, he could caught good fishes.
