I Am Back Here Now

Improving my English skill can be attributed to a process of output, for example making presentations, writing essays and blogging, which is so essential that I'd like to bear it in my mind all the time.

Though I am introverted  to the degree of being reluctant to talk about myself, actually I want to make myself understood more deeply. In short, I just want to express all stuff about me, while I am afraid of it. Maybe, I fear being rejected or underestimated because I've been  haunted by negative aspects of my character...    Sorry, I come not to grasp what  I wanna communicate by this article.

Fortunately, there are a lot of nice people I can respect, so the existence can make me alive everyday. 

I know what I said is too emotional to arrange, but it's how I've felt. 

I appreciate with all my heart my peers and teachers motivating me to become more confident, to go forward and to do what you want. 

I'm sleepy now, so I will be willing to reflect useful tips for being a active scholar later.

Thank you and good night! 

Dear ZOTERO..

At first, I wasn't able to understand for what ZOTERO is and how to deal with it, but I felt like making good use of it in the end. Now that I don't know if my several citations are correct or not, the function deserves to work immediately. Nevertheless, I want to go on citing evidences on my own to maintain my academic skills learned in the ARW class.

Pushing up Priority!!

Frankly speaking, I have trouble in keeping up with homework about the essay. However, there is little time to stop to think, so I have to manage my time by limiting the time to do tasks. If so, I could spend more time sleeping. To me, it's a vital matter, and also, it's better for me to use efficiently my priceless time as a college student, that is, I guess that "Time is money."
Now, I want to know your present priority in writing the essay.

Struggle Stands for....

It is interesting that the story is not Santiago's struggle against awing nature but human beings' natural place in the world. It is worthwhile to discuss the structure of this book where one side to kill must be faced with the other side to be killed because it is the most primitive relation between living things. To be honest, our daily life sometimes gets stuck in a rut, so that we seldom encounter such a struggle as an isolating fight on the sea. However most of us have the desire for struggle, defeat and death. I think these trials can cause us to revive our instinct by confronting unexpected adversities. Therefore, people may be proud of struggle, defeat and death.

Bias behind all the Books

 In the last class, there ware three points to focus on. These are called 3Bs: Background, Biography and Bias. Concentrating on each theme, I was able to find new phases of  OMS like a prism. Especially, bias attracts me most. Whether it is positive or negative, it could influence the content. For example, because Hemingway (Santiago) thought of the black people as a strong species and might have respected them, he used the word, "nigger" in the book. It's interesting.
Concerning backgrounds, it is set in the middle of the Cold War,so the world were faced with the danger of breaking out war. Boosting economy happened, but actually people are always threatened by the fear. Now that we couldn't feel the same as my own experience, we have to search authors and history for such information.  


I'd like to be a more fluent blogger!

Stoicism is what?

Stoicism is one of the greatest virtues, for persistence is considered as a  strength of  will.  Exactly, I agree with the idea. However, the author, Ernest Hemingway, seems not to be a respectful person. His      character must be disagreeable in contrary with his sensible text. A man of stubborn is usually misunderstood, however gentle he/she is. Maybe so was Hemingway.
  As for the content of OMS, WHEN and WHERE is interesting for me that  I want to know about Cuba, which hadn't adopted the communism yet. Because such pre-reading information will give us more profound comprehension, we need to make time to research before reading, as is always required in ELA.

CWT stands for Clear What to Take advantage of!

When I took CWT(Course Wide Test) on Friday, as I had expected, it was hard for me to decide a kind of fallacy used in an example. In most cases, I had no idea about which answer to choose. if I had thought the questions logically, I wondered I could have chosen the right answer. For example, concerning "law school students" assumption, it seems to me that it suggested that we observe what it is as you look. Frankly speaking with finding assumption, we should somehow divide our thought into one and objective. Therefore, it can give us to self-evolved opportunities. As the assumption, inspecting essay or something for fallacy is also practice to improve the skill of criticize.
