One Stanza

#1 Picture
Gorgeous flow of liquid gold, smashing into another flock of golds
Rushing down to the end of the world, fast as chitah
I can hear them singing out loud, it washes dirt on the rocks as it flow
I can't see the end of the fall, seems as though it would go forever

pearl reflection

“If this story is a parable, everyone takes his own meaning from it, and reads his own life into it…” was a basic interpretation quote the author gave us at the beginning of the story, I noticed that this was author’s little message towards to tell us that, we should take some meaning for ourselves along we read it. Therefore I was keen to read some significant message throughout the story and take my own meaning reflecting back on this ‘Pearl’.

As the story began, I thought it was quite optimistic atmosphere on people’s attitude, however as I read along, it began to reveal its moody feeling into it, the tone clearly showed what author was trying to tell the audience. As it goes through characters are slowly ruined by their lack of circumstance background they have. It gives an example how would people will be if we’re in that kind of position in our lives.

In the story, it clearly shows the matter of wealth which the characters inside faces, I looked carefully at Juana and I found out that she was very sensed brave, because she chose her family to lose everything instead of only possession she had, the pearl. I know it’s nothing for some people nowadays, however back then and especially to the family like Kino’s, their life depends on that one thing.
I think that author used the pearl to illustrate and reveal real love of character, to help us to contrast with ourselves if we were in that situation.

After reading this book I found that there were a lot of connections between one of the characters inside, such as Coyotito because he tried to earn more money by selling the pearl for good price, which refers me back and reminds me of the time I thought the same way he did.

Therefore this meant later on, this book gave me a moral message that it connected with my life with the various of events happened inside the book together, I knew what the author was saying at the beginning, and what he told the parable was about that taking my own meaning from the novel.

He never listened to her, whatever she told him then he just did things in opposite way. No one knows why but everyone doubted that he had serious mental issue, just by looking at his usual behaviours and attitudes, they could guess he's going to get into big trouble in his life.

Moody story

Today's my birthday, 3rd October, I don't know why but I feel somebody's missing. It was my dog, Bob and I remembered that he just passed away last year, on my birthday which was exactly 1year ago since then. He died unluckily on my birthday, which made my birthday no longer be called "happy"birthday.
It was heavy raining day, with bunch of dark clouds all over the sky, I felt really depressed that day because I just felt that something bad was going to happen. Just coming back from my school lessons, I sprinted back to the house to have a shower with all the stuffy rain all around my body. Soon as I arrive, I saw Bob fainted in front of the door without anyone at home. I took him to the vet and got him checked, however the vet said he was already infected by serious diseas long time ago, and said it's too late to get him cured. 30minutes later he wasn't breathing....

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy.
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry, be happy now.
CHORUS: Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry, be happy.
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy.
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy.
(Look at me--I'm happy. Don't worry, be happy.
Here I give you my phone number. When you worry, call me,
I make you happy. Don't worry, be happy.)
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy.
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy.
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy.
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry, be happy.
(Don't worry, don't worry, don't do it.
Be happy. Put a smile on your face.
Bon't bring everybody down.
Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is.
Don't worry, be happy.
I'm not worried, I'm happy...)

Bob Marley- Don't Worry, Be Happy

I chose this song to symbolize for the happiness, because I thought th lyrics inside it really match up with the title happy. It's basically saying always be happy because it will make everything go well, and don't worry otherwise everything will frown. Also the theme inside it has positive feeling and even the music sound really blue, which I think it explains most of the facts about happiness.
Author is trying to give a message that happy will change everything you do, and happy worth more than anything else.

New Unit Reflection

I've just won $259, 000, 000! I feel like I have control over the whole world. I'm thinking what kind of things I can do with this money, and questioning myself that "Will I be able to live without working just with this money for my entire life left?" and "Shall I do good things for the world with it, or spend it only for my good?" I'm thinking I will spend it by myself, because I wanted to do so much things which cost fortune for normal people, first buy the Lamborghini and Bugatti then buy house in Las Vegas, etc for personal stuff. I was thinking that I was going to help the poor people however now I just want to do so much things for fun with it that I must do during my life.
