Entry 1_Đỗ Trà My

Item1: Story

                                                      Two Wolves - A Cherokee Parable


An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."

  • Rhetorical devices: 
Metaphor: two wolves two opposite sides of a person: Bad and good

  • Message: Each person has  two opposite sides: bad and good. To becomes a good man or a bad one depends on every action you do every day

Item 2: Poem

My Love
By Tasha Shores




                                                    My love is like an ocean
                                                    It goes down so deep
                                                    My love is like a rose
                                                    Whose beauty you want to keep.


                                                    My love is like a river
                                                    That will never end
                                                    My love is like a dove
                                                    With a beautiful message to send.


                                                    My love is like a song
                                                    That goes on and on forever
                                                    My love is like a prisoner
                                                    It's to you that I surrender.

  1. i see you have done a good job. But i would like to have a small suggestion to your item 2. there is still 1 rhetorical device which is alliteration in the first paragraph: down-deep.
    That's all. Thanks:)

  2. well done! But I have a suggestion to your item2. I suggest that you should clarify your message. For example, Love is something extremely large or romantic, sometimes can be simple things bring us various emotions that we are immersed in it.

  3. To Tra My:
    I think your first item as well as the second one are analysed quite clearly anđ sufficiently.
    For the last item, as the picture show the image of a skeleton (symbolizing a person) is driving the Earth to the hole of death, I suggest that the message may be " No one but human beings are rapidly destroying the planet by their own"
    However, congratulation on your entry !
