Hi Dung,
ReplyDeleteI have some comments after reading your post"
Item 1: I totally agree with your thought
Item 2: I think it indicate the unfair things in education. I dont mean any specific kind of education. Did you see the word "fair". it is clear that Monkey is the animal that can run with the highest speed in all of them. Thus, why it can be called " fair selection"?
Hope that my comments are useful for you :x

Hello Dung
ReplyDeleteI have some comments on your entry
Item 1: the message can be clearly understood and i agree with the way you wrote the message of the poem.
Item 2: the picture is actually about inequality in life. The man said "a fair selection" but it's not unfair at all coz some animals can climb the tree, others cannot right? It's not just in education. It's in every field of life!! So the message, i think, should be: the inequality in life.
Item 3: The clip has a great meaning and you did find it out. Congrats
Hope my comments will help you to improve your entry my friend :D

ReplyDeleteHi Dung, I wanna give you some of my comments:
ReplyDelete- Item 2: I don't agree with your message. I think it implies unfair education. You can see from the picture, in the same exam but it's indeed useful for monkey, because olny it just climbs the tree. That's unfair to other animals. So, the message in this piture is education must have exams that are suitable for all of students. By that way, we select the talent people correctly and fairly.
- Item 1 and Item 3: I definitely agree with you, that's good :D
Do hope my comments will be helpful for you :)
hi Dung,
ReplyDeleteAfter reading you entry, I want to give you some comments
item 1, I agree with your rhetorical devices and message.
item 2, I think it is not just in education field. "fair selection" is true because it is an exam that is hold to gain the definite aims like selecting a good animal or evaluating the ability of each one. each one has different strengths, hobbies, characteristics so the teachers or interviews don't have choose a question suitable for all of them. therefore, in my opinion, the message also refer to luck.
I hope my cmt will useful for you.
item 3: i think you should add overstatement to your rhetorical devices because it is difficult for kiwi bird in nailing an array of trees to a side of a cliff. I want add more information that when the kiwi bird drop from the top of mountain , it can die. therefore the message is when a person has a great effort to archive what he want, he dare to change everything.the success always go with the sacrifices
