Item 4:
The man who went to
Heaven and to Hell
In hell, it was monstrous. Scores of people sat across from each other at
various ten foot, round tables that each had a plate of delicious food in the
center. Each person, however, had a thirteen-foot pair of chopsticks that
prohibited access to the food, and so each person was sad and hungry.
The man went to heaven and saw the exact same scenario:
Multiple ten foot, rounded tables with delicious food in the center and each
person with a pair of thirteen-foot chopsticks. Yet, in heaven each person was
happy and well fed.
Why? Because in heaven, the people were feeding each other.
Rhetorical devices:
Metaphor: people in Hell - people who are selfish
people in Heaven - people who care for others
food - everything in life
the way people eat - the way people live and treat each other
Message:
Making other people happy is the greatest way to find happiness yourself.

ReplyDeleteThe message she said is right. I just want to add my ideas like: using all your senses to feel,believe,love and appreciate miracle of life
Item 1:
ReplyDeleteI agree with anhngoc
the dragon should be the symbol of China's economy
Also, the bull should be the symbol of US's economy, as Wall Street is the symbol of Us's economy.
Therefore, the message should be a comparision between the 2 economies, not between China's economy and US's stock market. They're not in the same field.
In item 1, I have same idea with Nguyễn Xuân Dương.
ReplyDeleteIn item 2, the poem is very short and concise. The life is extremely beautiful and colorful, enjoy it!
