Journal 18: It's hard to say GOODBYE

It’s last time to write my last journal. The time is going too fast, I totally remembered my first time to do this. At the beginning of the semester, I complained why we have to do journal for every week, and too much homework to do every day. But the time goes on, l felt very plenary in this semester. Even it spends me lots of time on writing and rewriting many drafts, and to be honest, that’s really helpful. In my memory, we had a group presentation, An, Cindy and me with a group. We worked every hard, and they helped me a lot during prepared the presentation. Finally we got really good score for our present. There is lots of happiness memory in my mind. Besides of my group’s partner, I also like other my classmates. We worked together, learning much news knowledge in class. We shared our happiness and complain. We saw the movie with eating fries, designing an advertisement in class. It was really happy in every class, just besides we had a timing writing. I had lots of words want to say for my classmates and also want to say THINK YOU to my kindness teacher Sean! You teach me a lot, even I got lots of trouble in my essay, and you still help me in patience.  

At the end, I hope our teacher and all of my classmates have a wonderful vacation! I saw some of friends are preparing to go back their country. I wish they had a great holiday, and don’t forget connect me!   GOOD LUCK FOR OUR PROFESSOR! GOOD LUCK FOR OUR CLASSMATES!

Journal 17: Reaction to Film: Baraka

On Monday we saw a movie Baraka. To be honest I felt this movie really bad at beginning. Because of it have no plot not actor and no dialogue. I felt uncomfortable that I never see this style movie any more. However, when the movie goes on, I realized that the movie without words, all the screens is coming from pictures also showing a wonderful feeling for people. I was amazed by the images and the camera technique. Especially for the sequence of screens, this moment we are still macaques that mimicking the human face and imagination, the second minutes, the picture come out Mount Fiji in Japan. By contrast, although this movie style is really different by others, we still can know the questions it brings to me strike me, and it makes me rethink about the human life. There are lots of content that we need to consider. Such as different countries have different situation. The poor countries need to have their food in rubbish station, but some rich countries; they don’t need to care about their regular life. This movie is really encouraging me to go forward in the future. We still have lots of knowledge to learn, and we were easy to enjoy our life without consider the unfair life. We are thinking so individually and separately, so after this movie, I think everyone need to give a new situation in the future. Is it necessary to chance our regular life or just enjoy our satisfied our life. Even this movie is shown many years ago, but it still has a good influence by people, especially the people who lives in an easeful life.

Journal 16: letter to my mother

Dear mom,
This is a letter for you that i have something to do adn really want to talk with you. At the beginning when you saw this letter. I have a little required that i want you read by yourself, expecially except my father. Because of if he read this letter, he was definitely say no! So i hope dear mom you read only.

For my decision, i really wanna have a tatoo, i know you will be very angry, but please have a calm mood to read before I explained. The first time I really like to have a tatoo when I looked prison break, I saw the actor have a whole tatoo in his body, I was attracted by the beautiful pattterns. It's look very handsome and amazing. After that, i really wanna have a tatoo, but actually not in all body, maybe just one parts in my back or arms. I knew you will very care about I wheather can receive or not, but i can tell, I can do that even it's really painful. On the other hand, you will worry my future such as career or my job. But actually I will do just a little tatoo in my back or somewhere very secluded. That's my boss wouldn't be see anymore. By the way, the tatoo also is the symbol for the real boy. When I played basketball in the playground and just wear a half sleeve, showing my tatoo to everybody, that looks real cool. That's really I want. Also I think most of girls like the who has tatoo, that showed the boy's indepandent and  inimitable, so you don't worry about your son cannot have a girlfriends.

For those reasons, I wanted you can agree with have a tatoo and don't worry about me. The only one things we need to think that how we faced to my dad. I put all my hopes to yours, mom. I trust you can pursude my dad. Anyways, even i got a tatoo, I will still a good guy, and love you forever ! By the way, if you agree with me, you can help me to choose a pattern!

Jeffrey R.Young (2006, Jun12). Wikipedia founder discourages academic use of his creation.the chronicle of higher education.  Retrieved from: http://chronicle.com/article

The Wikipedia's founder said that teacher want to tell students the definition in Wikipedia is not always they wanted and sometimes that ideas can lead the students in a wrong way. the answer in Wikipedia always good and convenient to research, but the students need to separate which one is they needed and which one is not useful. Because of all the sources are getting together and students should compare and choose which one is good for them research.

During the interview, The Wikipedia's founder whose named Wale suggested that Wikipedia is used in many ways. Such as the reader read a history book and they confused something in the book. Then they can use Wikipedia to search what they want. It's pretty simple way to search, maybe only for a vocabulary or a name they want to know. By contrast, for the students, they study in history subject. When they did their homework, they not only to do research only for a word or a sentence, but only need to know the whole story for the book or history. That Wiki's information is not enough any more. The students need to work hard by themselves without Wiki.

The mainly idea is talking about Public education; argue equitable access for all students to a full range of educational programs. The master plan for higher education, what is left behind is students who are willing to spend 60 hours sleeping on the floor to get a better education. Finally, they argue about in a public statement, it’s hard to get together between high quality university and lines of communication.
