Spring pool Glass Factory trip

Today we went to spring pool glass factory on Neo Pu Road, it is about twenty minutes away from our school. On the way to the Spring Pool glass factory, I've just found out that there's also lots of glass factories sits on Neo Pu Road. After listening to the manager's presentation, I've know that because of the mass of natural gass and silicon ,therefore Hsinchu have become the famous glass production city in Taiwan.

During the time when we are visting around the factory, every workers are really concentarted on their own work, cause each of those machine are working with high temperture which will definitely be dangerous. There's not must face expression on those worker's face, I think is becuase of those high temperture and their carefullness, but I can feel their impression of doing glass by looking from their glass.

GE Lesson

Today in Global Ethic, Kevin is the one that teach us lesson about Austria. In today's overall lesson is base on the some basic information and the history of Austria,and also learn about what is xenophobia. After that we read some articles of Austria and discuss about it.

During the two activities, it was interesting and I have learn pretty much of it. From the first reading activity Quikwrite, we are reading an article is about what happen to the Austria society now, and what do the Austrians thinks about got control by lots of different countries before, for example like the German, Romans and French. After finish reading that article, it have makes me think of Malaysia, Because from my research of Malaysia. Before they have also got control by lots of different countries and lots of foreigners came. So it have cause the country become have no identity. From the second activity, we have split into groups and argue prompt which relate to the Austria. I think the last activity is also pretty good, because the prompt have include all the information that he teach first and have organize all the ideas together in the end.

Poem: Grandma

her husky voice, catches my attention
she slowly waves her hand and calls me over
I walk next to her quietly and listen
look at her profile, so warm and tender
the wrinkles on her face remind me of time
the old rough shaky hands and her hunched back
explains her hard work throughout these pastime
photos all bundled up in a sack,
yellowish photos preserve all her memories
every picture narrates a different story
like to see her smile and listen to her voice
when I am lost or feel melancholy
her smile is like the sunlight in the dark
that will always lead me out through the dark


Reflection:
Her old kindly voice have catches my attention
Waving her hand and calls me over
Listen to her quietly
From her profile, I feel the warm and tender from her face
All the wrinkles has tells the her ages
From her looking at her old shaky hand and her hunch back have show all the hard work in her life
Photos in the sack
The yellowish photo have all grandma's memories
every pictures are like different stories from her memorize
I like to see her smile and listen to her voice
Every time when I feel sad or unhappy
Her smile can always make my unhappiness disappear
And will always tell me where to go when I was lost.

Ancient Greece enviornment

Greek environmental status was very unstable; Greece is smack-dab in the middle of an active volcanic zone, so earthquakes and volcanoes eruptions were very common and because of this, oracles became popular in Greece. Oracle is when god speaks to the people about what will happen in the future. Also, the soil in Greece was not very good for growing crops or plants because there are many mountain ranges, rocks and it always lacked enough amount of fresh water. Based on the reasons above, people did not like to live in Greece, therefore, most of them moved to Egypt and Fertile Crescent (which is in West Asia). Most of the people that lived in Greece are soldiers.

There are also many beaches in Greece. People only need to spend few days of walking time to get to the sea because the distance from the center of Greece to different coasts is only fourty miles away from the sea. There are many islands out side of Greece. Because they lived close to the sea, they relied on fishery. Most of the Greek cities are around the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, so Greeks often sail trade from one city to another. They also send their own soldiers out to help other countries to fight, but those countries needs to pay them money.

Kuso T-shirt

kuso is a word and that means you do some thing fun and joke , it is a word from japan. the reason i think this word become popular is when japan start the kuso fashion and lots of country start using that word on clothing or even on the TV show . so "kuso" this word is become popular and popular in other countries. i don't think we change the meaning for "kuso" in Taiwanese version .i think that kuso will mess or play with dominant/mainstream or corporate culture is because it express what the teenager like , like to design some funny word (swear word) or picture on the clothing , they want to be cool and special . So i think that is the main reason that kuso is so popular now .

Parables

I'm a monkey,and I live in a really nice forest. There are lots of beautiful tall trees and delicious fruits. Everything was so peaceful and good until one day we saw some animals. They wore strange things on their bodies. They carried a strange little silver shiny box and a long thin shiny stick. When those people saw us, they started running toward us. At first I thought they just wanted to play with us. But after a minute, I saw that they caught my family and friends and threw them rudely into a big box made with some shiny branches. I was so scared, I don’t know what should I do, at the same time I feel lonely, lots of my friends and family got caught. Suddenly I felt got poke by some sharp thing on my leg, slowly I felt dizzy, and than things in-front of my eye turn black.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in another forest. There were still trees around, but not as many as in my home. Outside of the trees were lots of cold shiny bars. Outside the bars there were lots of animals standing around and looking at me. I didn’t know why they were looking at me, and I didn’t know why I was here. Where were my friends and family? I felt so scared and lonely. After that day, I didn’t laugh anymore. One day, there was a man. He came into my place, and took me to a small shiny box. He carried me to a big strange stuff , It could move very fast, but it was very nosey. I closed my eyes because I was so tired. The fruit I have now is not good us the fruits I have in my homeland.

I opened my eyes. This was another different place, and there were no trees around. There was a big puffy colorful house. The men brought me in to the house. There were lots of animals in there. But they didn’t all look happy, Suddenly a big hand grabbed me out from the cage, and he put a cold heavy thing on my neck. It was so uncomfortable; I felt pressure on my neck. After a few minutes, the men put me on a big colorful ball and wanted me to stand and walk on it. But I failed. The guy grabbed a big stick and hit so hard on my body. And he put me back up the ball and wanted me to do it again. After a few days, I was so tired. They wanted me to practice those tricks everyday, and if I failed, they would whip me so hard with a stick and not give me food to eat.

I couldn’t stay here anymore, and I DIDN’T WANT to stay here anymore longer. I want to go back to my beautiful homeland. So one night I decided to escape from the horrible place. I ran as fast us I could. I didn’t sleep for many days, because I didn’t want to let those people get me and I wanted to back to my home.

After two weeks I finally got back, but things were so different. Those beautiful tall trees and fruit trees have disappeared! Someone cut them! Where did the trees go? Where did the fruits go? I'm so hungry ... and I'm so tired.... where’s my home?

reflection of "Instinct"

Instinct is a pretty touching movie, it's help me connect all the information in Ishmael. And now my brain really start thinking about those serious problems that takers do. In the begging of the movie, i just think Ethan is a person who have mental problems, things that he said was just not really important. But when he talks about his memories with wiled gorillas, i slowly understand why he chose not to talk and hate people. Another point i think it touches me a lot is when those black prison is bully others to get the ace card and go out for free, this have shows the weak are the prey of the strong in the world. Because Takers they have better technology weapon ,so they kill the leavers and rule them ,cause takers thinks they are the best .But that's wrong, and i agree what Ethan said, everyone is equal , no one has the right to control others!!
