Entry 1
Item 1: Short story
Look inside before you judge others
A young couple moves into a new
neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young
woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very clean, she said,
she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained
silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman
would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was
surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her
this."
The husband said: "I got up early
this morning and cleaned our windows!"
Rhetorical devices:
Metaphor: the women (people who like to criticize and judge others),
window(our outlook on life )
Message: What we see when
watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Item 2: Cartoon
- Metaphor: the two rabbits
(facebook addicts)
- Overstatement: the seriousness of
facebook addiction of two rabbits
- Irony: the two rabbits are
talking about the disadvantage of facebook but they are still
addicted to it.
Message:
Facebook has serious effects on daily communication.
Item 3:
Lyrics
Because
you loved me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth
that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my
life
For all the wrong
that you made right
For every dream
you made come true
For all the love I
found in you
I'll be forever
thankful baby
You're the one who
held me up
Never let me
fall
You're the one who
saw me through through it all
You were my
strength when I was weak
You were my voice
when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes
when I couldn't see
You saw the best
there was in me
Lifted me up when
I couldn't reach
You gave me faith
'cause you believed
Em everything I
am
Because you loved
me
You gave me wings
and made me fly
You touched my
hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith,
you gave it back to me
You said no star
was out of reach
You stood by me
and I stood tall
I had your love I
had it all
I'm grateful for
each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know
that much
But I know this
much is true
I was blessed
because I was loved by you
You were my
strength when I was weak
You were my voice
when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes
when I couldn't see
You saw the best
there was in me
Lifted me up when
I couldn't reach
You gave me faith
'cause you believed
I'm everything I
am
Because you loved
me
You were always
there for me
The tender wind
that carried me
A light in the
dark shining your love into my life
You've been my
inspiration
Through the lies
you were the truth
My world is a
better place because of you
You were my
strength when I was weak
You were my voice
when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes
when I couldn't see
You saw the best
there was in me
Lifted me up when
I couldn't reach
You gave me faith
'cause you believed
I'm everything I
am
Because you loved
me
You were my
strength when I was weak
You were my voice
when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes
when I couldn't see
You saw the best
there was in me
Lifted me up when
I couldn't reach
You gave me faith
'cause you believed
I'm everything I
am
Because you loved
me
I'm everything I
am
Because you loved
me

see…”
- Overstatement:
“You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could
touch the sky”
