ASP comment 6/15

In 6/15, we watched the movie that is made for the first ASP class. In the movie, I didn't used to talk in English, so sometimes I stopped talking. I was glad because I could fell some improving my English skill!
after that, we discussed about "the most useful thing in ASP" "the most interesting thing in ASP" "the most enjoyable thing in ASP". I will upload the movie of discussion, so please watch that.

And after that we took picture with Rab! YEAR!
Thank you Rab!

ASP comment 6/11

In 6/11, we discussed about "what is the 12 items that you bring to isolated island?".
Rab said at first we have to think material to live, for example, fire, air, or food.It is very efficient way to discuss, so we tried to do this way. First we wondered we couldn't decide only 12 items, but as soon as we started to discuss, we found that we don't need so much items to live. We decided only 6 items.

I think we need some ability or knowledge in order to survive, so my list is this.

1 survival knife
2 the lens (to make fire)
3 axe
4 books "How to make medicine from nature"
5 Drum can (to take a bath)
6 blue sheet(useful?)
7 book "How to make instrument to catch the animal in nature"
8 book "How to play in nature"
9 book "how to fish in nature"
10 book "how to cook good dinner in nature"
11 book "how to spend time in isolated island"
12 book "how to talk with nature"


In short, we need only 6 items!

ARW Blogging Assignment 6 (OMS)

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is Santiago as Christ Figure. The old man lives with the boy for 40 days. In Christianity, this number is blessed number. It is because after Resurrection, Christ live for 40 days and dead. So it is a metaphor that the old man is Christ and the boy is disciple. And also the old man goes to the sea to catch the fish for 3 days. For the old man, this 3 days are full of struggle. And the term that Christ was dead is 3 days, and after that, he resurrected. Which mean that Christ is full of struggle for 3 days.
I think It is very persuasive aspect, but I wonder that sequence is not same between the old man and Christ. The old man spent with the boy for 40 days, and after that, he spends on the sea for 3 days. However, Christ is reverse.

ASP comment 6/1

Today, we learned about how to make good presentation.Rab said the good presentation have little word, and I strong agree with this. After that, we made power point of Meiland in group. I felt that choosing the picture for presentation is difficult. Our group's topic is that difference between high school and college so we tried to use the picture of high school's class, but it's not fun. Our thinking is that fun is very important because through own experience, we know that the presentation which is not fun is only boring. So we try to express the idea in metaphor. But we couldn't finish finding good picture for presentation to the end...
