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

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.
Trả lờiXóaThat's all. Thanks:)
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.
Trả lờiXóaTo Tra My:
Trả lờiXóaI 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 !
congratulation! You have done a good job. Your item number one and item number two are analysed clearly as weel as in detail. However, I have a suggestion for your item number three that the message should be like Kieu Anh's opinion.
