Entry 1
Item 1: Poem
How do I love thee ?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. (a)
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height (b)
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight (b)
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. (a)
I love thee to the level of every day's (c)
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. (d)
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; (d)
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. (c)
I love with a passion put to use (e)
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. (f)
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose (e)
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath, (f)
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose, (e)
I shall but love thee better after death. (f)

ReplyDeletei have read your comment and try to edit my post :D
thank to you that i can completely finish my post .~
First of all, I just want to say that your 1st entry is really interesting. I have an exciting time reading this. After reading, I have some comments:
ReplyDelete1. About item 1, it is a good poem. I think there are some more rhetorical devices in the poem. For example:
-A bout rhyme, I found some more: Praise-faith; Breath-death; Freely-purely.
- Or some similes: “love as quite need of sun and candlelight”; “Love as men strive for Right”; “Love as they turn from Praise”.
- And with the message you give at last, I think the overstatement: “I shall but live thee better after death” is very important to lead to the conclusion.
After all, I totally agree with the message you’ve given here.
2. About item 2, the story is so meaningful. The rhetorical devices and the message you found is reasonable. However, I have some different thoughts. Belows are my thoughts:
- The place where rain water drips down the yard: the ability of people to keep yourself and change the society as well. (metaphor)
And the message I can capture from the video is that:
In every circumstance, we need to be flexibly enough to adjust ourself to it but don’t loose yourself, find you own way and then change the circumstance.
3. About item 3, I really like this picture. And I agree with you about the rhetorical devices and the message here. Besides, I think it’ll be better if you can shorten the message and make it more strong.
Anw, I enjoyed your entry so much. I like your three items. Thank you for finding and posting this!
-Item 2: +I think you should not choose vietnamese clip because it's quite simple and easy to understand.
ReplyDelete+The message should be briefer: people in this life have to be flexible and adapt to all situation that may happen.It is the key of success
