Holiday Reality

If my dream, plan, hope, fantasy, or whatever you like to call it for the holiday is the description of heaven, then my reality would be hell. Basically, absolutely nothing I predicted happened. I went to this Xiemen place instead of Japan. It wasn't very bad but it is like hell compare to Japan. Furthermore, because we traveled the whole break, I didn't get to visit some aunts and uncles for red envelopes. The rest of break is filled of nothing but boredom. Didn't watch movie, didn't play ball, didn't do nothing. All I did is stare in the space thinking and doing nothing at all. BUT, through this, I realized many things that I never thought about, understand many truth that may be once hidden or concealed from me. (OK, that sounds a bit too deep...) I caught this stupid fever right when I return and got really sick. I skipped the practice test because of this ridiculous sickness. Glad that there is no homework for the break. Awesome. I get to sleep like 80% of the day.  So again, like I said, dream is always WAYYYYYYY above reality, and when things happen, people feel the free fall to the ground. Stress is accumulating even when I am thinking or even typing like now. I surely do hope I don't hit hard on the reality for the rest of the year, especially when I hold great expectations.

Holiday Plans

What would I want to do in my holiday break? Hmmm....I would like to go to Japan. I heard the skiing part is awesome there and the stores there are amazing. The railway there claim to be better than our High Speed Railway. Also, I absolutely want to go there because there is  SNOW!! Snow is one of the most memorable part of my life in Canada. I missed it for years. It going to be so awesome if I can go there. I also want to hang out with friends during the break. Movies and UMC sports time sounds fun. I actually prefer UMC more because I am certain that I will gain a few kilograms during the break. For some reason, Chinese people eat A LOT during the Chinese New Year. It is REALLY a LOT.  If I can, I want to skip the SAT practice test planned by the school (STOP STRIPPING OUR BREAK!!)  However, it is not possible. The school planned it on the very last day of our break, which basically mean we have school one day earlier!!! THIS IS MADNESS. Everything else should be fine. I wonder how much of this fantasy will take place in real life.

Justice?

Justice is been morally right/ clever/ whatever conscience agrees. Basically, it is what the angel on the right shoulders say.  The harp, halo dude in white robe somehow always agree with all other angels in the world..establishing the sense of justice. I was going to say Mayella Ewell is just (imagining a hot girl here....) earlier today, before I watch the real movie (she blinds my eye...NO!!!!....she is unfit for Tom, absolutely horrible looking~ once again proves last entry Film vs. Print). So basically...umm...nobody other than Atticus recieved justice. Atticus defended Tom (angel way). Jury..sigh* is horrible....destroying everything... been racist(devil way), and inflict direct damage to Tom. Tom ends up miserable without doing anything, so he is not getting justice at all. Mayella and Bob Ewell, definitely did not receive any just. Mayella lied and gain advantage (not just!!!) and Bob destroys another negro and can enjoy his daughter (this is so~~ wrong!!!). Basically, I will call this book a place where God is absolutely absent (eintein theory).

Film v Print

Movies are way different from books. Movies are animated, and they are cooler than books. Movies provide concrete imagery and actions. There is a good side and a bad side to this. The good side is movies condense a scene that may take several pages in book to describe. The instant imagery gives the audience the idea of the work. This prevents misinterpretation from the story. However, by creating concrete image, it solidifies the characters and scenes, preventing any deviation to the plot explored by the readers. This disables the readers from imagining. Books usually earn more credit and is more popular because people can imagine them and twist them to their ideal interpretation. However,  with movies, the image may disappoint the audience by been different to what they thought. With movies, though, can allow audiences to picture what the director/author wants with rigid facts and details that may not be able to be mentioned in the story. After all, it is impossible for a book to describe everything in the scene. In short, books leaves the picturing to the readers, while the movie directors assume this task.

American Poetry Today

Poetry, to some crazy literature guys and some nerds future bosses, is an expression, a demonstration of their feeling. To them, poetry is a kind of art, masterpiece that can only be appreciated by people with passion (more exactly nerdiness, I have passion for games and Facebook yet I fail to appreciate poetry...zzz) In fact, I detest poetry. They cause me great pain for showing up in SAT I... However, my hatred is directed solely to the very original poem itself, not its side product. The new modern poem hidden in our society nowadays is commonly known as rap. Raps not only use rhymes like poems, but also use sounds to fill the syllable gaps, like the most common, yayaya, yo yo yo , YEAH!!! Like I said, the original poems are useless in my life. I am a math guy, science guy, and slightly barely art guy, NOT LITERATURE GUY!!!! But, rap is now an indispensable part of my life. The fast beat allows me to think better. (I think with beats, so faster means I think faster!! ) For other people now, poetry only mean marks and points for English students and "expression" for some literature weirdos (oops..scratch that) elites.

Letter to the World

Emily Dickinson wrote “This is my letter to the World/that never wrote to me.” This shows she is a very egocentric person. She believe getting a response is an absolutely necessary thing for the world to do. (ok, I need to admit I am like that sometimes). Also, from the tone, it seems like she has complaints of the world. She doesn't like how something turns out. We can also assume that she is a recluse, lonely women, as the world, she say, doesn't pay too much attention to her. It may be the world fail to recognize her in the way she do to herself, so she believe the world is in debt to her and need to respond to her. The failure in doing so makes her feel excluded and dispatched from the rest of the world, which is a sad thing. It is true that her talent is really covered up until 70 years after her death. It may also mean the feeling she have when all her friends leave her, leaving the world, dying. This statement has several different tones possible to be interpreted. The most serious and common way is through the pessimistic and sad way.  Many believe it is because all her friends, the people that compose the world she knows, dies one by one, and by losing them, she can no longer get response from those people.

Boot Soles

From my point of view, “If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.” simply means the person has been under strenuous criticism and endless complaints. So, it is like a female A telling male B, if I ever leave, its because you throw my dignity on the floor, step on it, and throw it out the window (its like gum so some must stick on his shoe!!!). LOOK AT YOUR SHOE FOR WHY I LEAVE!!!! That's basically everything. Well, there are of course more ideas and interpretion, but, psshh, they are just not as cool as mine. One may be husband murdered wife from stepping?? (ahh...last sentence of the wife...). Mr. McCool said it might be some guy is leaving and might just die somewhere else, returning to Earth and got step on. He makes people feel like he is honest and sincere (probably not, all literature guys are sly and evil and.......(shhhh....)). When I see it, I am angry!!! This guy is so pessimistic with Mr.McCool's interpretation.  This is an act of war against optimistic guys like ME!!! This guy also pisses me off because in my definition, he is a really getting bullied without using swear words and make himself sound so smart. It is really annoying.
