Bullying

What is bullying? Have you been bullied?

Bullying can be seen in schools, on the street, or any places that have people. Bullying can be in many different forms. It can involve fighting, with bare hands or with weapons, one person or a group of people on one or another group. When accusing something that happen on someone completely innocent, it can also be bullying, so that person need to take care of whatever punishments or things that are caused by the event. In school, or in some offices, there can be people that just do all the work people gave them. When a student tell that student to do the homework for him, it is also bullying. Bullying is like when any person or group of people are against each other and putting burden on them. I don't think that I have been bullied for real. There are times where friends will tell me to do something in a funny mean way, but they are not for real.

911 Earthquake - This event happened in Taiwan when I am a little kid. I remembered people running out from their houses. But since it is not really a big earthquake at where I live, so we didn't go though things as bad as those who lived in the areas the earthquake occurs.

Because I Could Not Stop for Death

This poem is a darker poem, where Emily Dickinson is talking about the death. In the first stanza, she talked about the death stopping for her because she couldn’t stop for death, and only her with death in the carriage. For the second, the death drove slowly without hashing, and for politeness, the speaker put away all of what she is doing. Then they drove pass the school, fields of grains, and the sun. Next the speaker told about her gown, what she is wearing. They also passed a house that the speaker can barely see the roof.

Essay Question

Question: 
In your own words, describe the tone of "Women."  Identify the origins of the tone based on what you can infer about the life experience of the speaker.  How does the speaker communicate her attitude through her words?  Use at least two examples  from the poem to support your response.


Answer: 
The tone in the "Women" is kind of casual but have a really deep loving feeling inside. The speaker talks about what the women did and compare them to armies or generals on how strong the women are. The women have to do nearly all the house works, even hard works around the houses. The speaker looking at her mother's work, knows that the women back then have all the works to do. The speaker is at the desk with the books when the mother told to them to study. The speaker might be studying all the books, but the mother never know any herself, because she is too busy with her works to do so. The speaker's feelings are inside the poem when she describe the works and how strong the women are. Also, the last few sentences, where the speaker said things about how their mother does not know any of the books. It shows that the speaker knows how hard the works are for the women.

There are no material things in my family that I would like to inherit from my family. Maybe that I don't know if there is anything that I can keep or inherit from my family, and I have never think about that. If there is something that I would like to inherit, I think I would like to have something that has an important memory, or meaning to the thing. For talents I would like to inherit, I don't think there is any wonderful talents from my family that I would like to inherit.
