Dickinson 25, 27

Poem 25: I think this poem is about two friends separated for a long time. The tone of this poem makes me feel kind sad. The theme is about when Dickinson finds her good friend after a long time. When she gets closed to her, she couldn’t be recognized immediately by her because as time goes by, Dickinson became different from before. But she recognized Dickinson’s foot immediately because there are some special mark on her foot or the sound of the foot. I think Dickinson may try to explain time change a lot things but there are still something will never get changed as time fly.

Poem 27: This poem shows how Dickinson loves sun. Because at morn, she can’t see sun; she can see sun at the noon. At the beginning of sun’s rise, the light, location and size of sun always change. Later it will be firmer. Dickinson worries that the sun will leave her for the transport later as she said “She- was mute from transport- I from agony-” She regard the sun as linnet and when the evening gets closed, the linnet flew away. The tone of this poem is also kind sad because she can’t keep the sun forever.

8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Dickinson Poem

I have read the poem number 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

I’m going to analysis poem 8 and 12 in my opinions.

Poem 8: After I read this poem, I felt Dickinson is very generous. Dickinson describes how generals she is by describing “forgot”. As she said it can bears a sword and pierce an armed man. When she is hurt by someone or something she isn’t very upset and tries to be generous and happy instead. The best way to accomplished this is trying to forget. I feel very energetic from this poem.

Poem 12: This poem shows how Dickinson loves autumn. We can know she is describing autumn from meeker morns, brown buts, fallen rose, maples and scarlet field. After she described autumn, she says she’ll put a trinket on. Dickinson shows her love in a lively and bright way. I can feel the love and happiness from the tone.

(1)Analysis of Dickinson's Poem

I have read the poem number 1, 2, 4, 5, 6

I’m going to analysis poem 2 and 5 in my opinions.

Poem 2: (There is Another Sky) This poem is about optimism. The “darkness” here means troubles and difficulties we met in our life. But if we are optimistic, we’ll never mind those darkness and go to see the other serene, fair sky and bright garden instead. We need to enjoy our life in a joyful way.

Poem 5: (I Have a Bird in Spring…) This poem is about optimism too. “Bird” is a metaphor which means her treasures. When her treasures have gone, she thinks they’ll come back to her again. She doesn’t need to worry those things which are not worth to worrying. All the things happened to her are natural logics. When bird is gone, the beautiful flowers Rose will appear. When Rose is gone, the bird will be back in spring. She regard everything she experienced is joyful and bright.

                                  China’s Culture in Europe in 18 Century

     In 18 Century, China was controlled by Qianlong Dynasty, and it’s a very prosperous time of China. Europe was very interested in China during that time and they were influenced by China in many areas, such like consumption, dress, literature, science and even education.

     King Louis XIV admired China’s culture very much. And one day he hold a very fancy party, and he dressed China style clothes and sit down on a luxury Chinese chair. Everybody was very surprised by that. And this is just one part of the China fashion in Europe. King Louis XVI who likes China cultuer very much and sited in the China style chair with Chinese dress.

The missionaries in Europe who have been China brought lots of Chinese literature book to Europe. And they described China as a very great country.  Matteo Ricci brought “The Four books” and “Five Classics” from China to Europe. And his “the Diary of Matteo Ricci” describes the thoughts of China’s morals and religions. People like Matteo Ricci introduced China’s culture and influences to Europe. Then a great fashion of “Chinoiserie” appeared later in Europe.

After the Great French Revolution, French brought China’s imperial examination system to their government and education because it can make poor people become nobles.

Experience in the Earthquake (Memory of Earthquake).

May 12th, 2008 was a tragic day for all the Chinese people. It was one of the heaviest earthquakes in China. The earthquake happened in the city I lived called Mianyang at 2:28pm. And the center of the earthquake is in the towns called Wenchuan and Beichuan in Mianyang. I'll never go to forget it.

I still feel so bad when I recall this history. I was a student in a boarding school. When the earthquake happened, I was washing my face before going to school. I never experienced an earthquake before. And when it happened, I just heard some noises "DONG, DONG, DONG…" from the flat in school. Then I felt the building was shaking, and it was very hard for me to stand. Later I heard that one of the teachers in the building yelled " It's an earthquake, get out   here". Then I run as fast as I can with several friends out of the building. But when we got out of the building, we didn't know elsewhere to go. It was all buildings around us, and they seemed to almost fall down. After several seconds, we got the idea that we needed to go to the nearest and biggest playground around us. But there was a building between the playground and us. We were very afraid of that at first, but knew if we didn't across the building, we would die anyway when the building fell down. Then we hold our heads and crossed the building. It was very lucky, that although we felt many breaks fell to us, we didn't get heavy injured. When we got the playground, we found many school mates were there. Some were crying others swooned on the ground. And I could see the ground fracturing over there.

     After I got back home, I knew that the earthquake was 8 magnitudes and the middle of the city wasn't destroyed heavily. The real disaster was happened around the city. After the earthquake happened several days later, I went to the real heavy disaster area with my father. I didn't see any building stood there on the way to the heavy disaster area Beichuan. I could see half of the mountain was green, and the other half is sand because of the collapse. I heard that one mountain was divided into several mountains, and several mountains mixed together one mountain. I can't imagine what would go to happen to those people who travel to the mountains and live in the mountains. The roads we drove   were broken because of the stones and sands from the mountains. And we found that we could only get the boundary of the towns because there was no way to go there. There were only two ways can get there, one is from the sky, and the other one is the road were just built for rescue teams.        

All the Chinese really wanted to do something for the people who were in trouble. I brought all my pin money to the Red Cross. Later, I went to the sanctuary in my city and help them carry food and water to the displaced person. Although I felt very tired I still keep carrying, and when the people asked, I said I'm fine. I saw the people from the disaster area were full of mud and scars. Bloody people were in the hospital or somewhere else for cures. I also saw a line of children who were also from the disaster area without their parents. They were so small and even didn't know what happened and if their parents were still alive. Compared with their pains I found my pains in school, family and anywhere else are really nothing. When I saw the news from TV, I found that lots of the people in the disaster area were covered by the building. They didn't have any food or water, the only thing they had is the desire to be alive for themselves and their families. Because of the desire, I saw many miracles happened.

     Although it's a very big tragedy that more than 20,000 people died in the earthquake for all the human beings, it's a very good lesson to the people who are still alive as well. We have nothing to complain compared with them. And we need to keep the desire to be alive whatever happened to us. I'll never forget that day.
