Analysis of Via's work

In this poem , the size of the texts are totally different .The writer starts from largest to the smallest. It shows the mourn expression of the writer.In this poem ,the writer uses an abstract line.The shape of the text are totally can not be seen as a real shape, because in this poem, there are so many types of phases
The writer also crosses the "WRONG" word , to convince the reader that it has a wrong meaning.
The word "fall" it is set from up to down, to give an effect the real definition of fall. In the fourth line, the writer put many spaces, because from the word "away" .


Sometimes
Sometimes you need to d i s t a n c e
your self to see things clearly
Sometimes a little rebellion
is a good thing
Sometimes you have to forget
what's g  o  n  e


Analysis of Nadia's work

In the second line of the first poem , the writer put a big space of the word "distance". It is separated to describe what distance is, which is "faraway". In the second line ,there is a word "Clearly" ,the writer bold the text and make the size bigger, to show a convincing effect, so the reader can easily read it. Next is the word "little rebellion" ,it designed as a tiny font. And also the writer crosses the word "forget" , it means the writer wants to shows  a firm decision effect.Some of the lines are longer and some are shorter..And as the reader can see from the last text, the extra spaces are given in that part ,by taking the word " gone".

Poem Analysis

Does It Matter? 

Does it matter?-losing your legs?
For people will always be kind,
And you need not show that you mind
When others come in after hunting
To gobble their muffins and eggs.
Does it matter?-losing you sight?
There’s such splendid work for the blind;
And people will always be kind,
As you sit on the terrace remembering
And turning your face to the light.
Do they matter-those dreams in the pit?
You can drink and forget and be glad,
And people won't say that you’re mad;
For they know that you've fought for your country,
And no one will worry a bit. 

Forever Friend

You are my worst friend
You are my best friend
You are my naughty friend
You are my innocent friend

You are my song friend
You are my wrong friend
You are my right friend
You are my bright friend

I love to see you
I wish to see you soon
For me you are no less than a boon

You are my beautiful friend
You are my dutiful friend
You are my just friend
You are my first friend

Nobody is better than you
To love you is what I always do
you are a friend
Whose friendship has no end.

You are my friend-
forever best friend.......... 
By : Nitya More

DISCURSIVE WRITING 

Chips are absolutely containing MSG ,can you imagine if it comes to our body? Consuming chips similarly  give an opportunity to the viruses of cancer to get in. Another point is ,consuming to much MSG can cause obesity. It means your weight will be increasing by eating one pack of chips? What about you bought ten packs of chips?
As much you consume MSG , as much impacts that you can get.
Another point is, life would be  much better if you don’t consume a food that kills you. Keeping away from chips is a good reason to be healthy.

On the other hand, although there are many good points of consuming chips. First it is an alternative for middle-low people who could not buy main foods for example rice.  At least chips can hold your hunger and also chips is instant foods, so people do not need to cook it or serve it. That’s why people prefer skip their breakfasts and so on, they prefer to eat chips because it is simple.

Eating chips can reduce people’s boredom, especially when people at home while watching television.

IMAGINATIVE WRITING

I have one cute girl in my class. She is nice, kind and annoying. She is Nadia or you can call her Nadi . She has a beautiful smile with rosy cheeks and her narrow eyes.
But on the other side ,she will leave me alone *well actually I still have Dimas , an innocent boy I've ever known, he has narrow eyes, so actually both of them have narrow eyes except mine. I still need Nadia ,everyone needs her. So it is kind of silly thing if my beautiful classmate replaced by him .

*I believe Nadia would smile to herself when she read this

Commentary

- This is a commentary of Nadia's post and it is originally composed by Via -
Nadia's blog

The writer’s purpose is to give information about her own life and to create sympathy. . In the first paragraph ,the writer puts “injustice, racisms, criminals, “.Actually injustice and racisms are abstract nouns, so the writer supposed to put crime than criminals. And at the second line of the first paragraph the writer should not put comma before the word “ and”.

The writer tries to attract the reader by sarcastic sentence the first paragraph. The reader is forced to imagine what it must be like to live in fear of one’s life in cramped conditions.

In the second paragraph , there is an error in the first sentence where the writer only a tobebefore the word become. The tobe is supposed to be eliminated. As in the first sentence,  the writer should use past tenses because it tells about what had happened.

At the same time, the clause shows the writer’s story was tense. The article shows that she never was in a good condition. The writer puts lots of conflicts there, which can make the reader become attracted and feared.

In the third paragraph ,the writer starts to tell her story from the first time she went to school ,by taking the word “school was like a prison “ shows that her day was filled with war,.

Next, in the fourth paragraph ,the writer uses the words “Latino’s, Chinese, Ghettos, and a white kid” signifies that the writer’s school was acist. The writer puts oxymoron word which is “It’s quite painful.

The fifth paragraph the writer uses a figure of speech which is repetition, that can be found in a word “Shouted at each other, mocked at each other” .The word “each other is repeated.It is used twice.

In the seventh paragraph, the writer uses a sentence  “my Chinese friend died “ the writer uses sarcastic tone. The writer actually should put a euphemism to make it more smoothie.

In the last paragraph ,the writer uses capital letters,it is seen from the word “SHE COULD TEACH US UNTIL WE FINISHED OUR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.  the purpose is to give an anger effect .

At the end the writer shows that the teacher’s dream which is  “make her students better” is coming true. And the writer uses a pleasant tone.

Erin Gruwell : The Woman Who Brought Freedom

               

An American teacher was born August 15 1969 in California. She inspired lots of people and  was known for her unique teaching method.  Teaching in a public school which consist of American, Chinese and American-African races. Then she made those different races became like a family. How incredible she was.

She began teaching her students in 1994 at Woodrow Wilson High school  in Long Beach, California.
First day of going to school seemed like the worst day that she had ever felt.  No students were listening to her, they were just busy with their people and then went fighting with each people and Gruwell couldn’t stop them. The second day was the same, no changes but she kept trying and learnt to be more patient to face her students.

On the next day, Tito ,one of her students was drawing an African American’s  face with extremely large lips. Gruwell told her students that there was a type of caricature that the Nazis had used during the Holocaust. When only one of the students knew what the Holocaust was, Gruwell changed the theme of her curriculum to tolerance. Holocaust is a murder that was claimed to be done by the Naz to wiped-out Jews around Europe, so only a few Jews who were saved in the Holocaust time.

Gradually, the condition changed and it was an incredible time for Gruwell.She could teach them and made them become educated people. Everyday, her students were reading books that she had bought until all of them were attracted to read and read it again ,especially  the Anne Frank’s book.

In the fall of 1995, Gruwell  gave each of her students a bag full of new books and asked them to make ‘Toast for Change. After that, she saw a turn around in them . The students went on to surprise everyone. A sad news came to Gruwell that she was divorced by her husband, Scott.  It was because she spent almost a whole day with her students and  Scott thought that she couldn’t take care of him.

Gruwell bought new books from her own pocket and invited guest speaker who could inspire her students. This guest was special to compare with others. This guest was related to Anne Frank’s book which was their favourite book. She was the women who helped  Anne Frank .

Gruwell returned to Wilson High as a full-time teacher. She aksed her students to make journals of their lives. She also had the students to read the books written by and about other teenagers in times of war.Then she asked them to make a book that consist of their stories with the title The Freedom Writers.

Writing journals became a solace for many of the students, and because the journals were shared anonymously, teenagers who once refused to speak to someone of a different race became like a family. At the end all Freedom Writers graduated from high school and many of Gruwell’s students went to attend college.

My diary entry..........

Friday January 10 , 2014

Dear diary, today I feel so lonely because my dear classmate is not coming to school. I really miss her so much, she's the one who always makes my whole day amazing. I mean sometimes hahaha just kidding.

She's amazing, first she's pious and have a lot of knowledge about Islam ,she spent her day by giving advices to people. I know this year will be the last year for me and her. I don't know what will happen to me when she is gone, maybe go to  Japan and meet her or maybe just stay here with boredom. Even we are separated ,we will still fight to face and pass Cambridge Examination together.

I have lots of experiences with her and it is hard for us to stop it now. But, however we have to support each other, no matter how far she goes , I want the whole world to know that we are together.
I hope one day there will be a new student in my class and will sit beside me, I wish it is girl, if it is boy...( no comment)

Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahi wabarokatu.
Dear  Xavic

My dear grandchild, how are you? I hope you are fine and under the protection of Allah. I want to tell you something important that can affect and bring you into failure.

There are plenty of high school students influenced  other students to follow their bad behaviors. After school they hang around to catch one student and force them to drink  alcohol and the other drugs until they are addicted.

With this letter I do not want my beloved grandchild getting influenced and I just want to remind you to be more careful.


Lots of love
Grandma

The Fabulous Tree


 










When I was child , I was known as a fabulous girl. I loved to play soccer with my friends even all of them are boys
,but I have a reason because my girlfriends didn't want to play soccer.
I liked to see the view around the soccer field ,because the field was on the top of the hill ,the field was surrounded by trees ,when the trees were blown by the wind, they flapped their leaves with thundering sounds.After playing soccer I liked to sit below a shady tree. I felt so comfortable.This tree was different from the others. It has a big hole in the middle of it's stem, so I can put anything inside it. Sometimes I like to devoted or wrote a story then I put it inside it's hole.When I was taking a rest , I was fanned by it's leaves which made me so sleepy. I felt like it was my best friend who always be there when I was suffering from the sunlight. My fabulous tree had soft bark,that didn't make my skin sore when I leaned on it. I thought this tree was created for me to be my friend when I was alone. That's why I named it the fabulous tree.

North Borneo Railway



Last year, I, as a travel writer, went to Borneo.I used a train to Borneo through North Borneo Railway . I was very interested in travelling  but much disappointed because of the bad services at the local station. There was no time table shown and I was uncertain what time I can go back to find a famous place and I couldn't enjoy my travel . It was actually a vintage train and I didn't know whether it was comfortable or not.The facilities were not completed yet , no air conditioner, it was rickety and also the food were less tasty. I prefered not to eat the food , I'd rather starved than to eat those odd foods. The journey made me so dizzy. I was not physically fit and in the end I threw up. So,when you are going to visit Borneo and use the North Borneo Railway , you should bring plenty of plastics and bring lots of food.
  I thought this would be the best time in my life, apparently it was not .This experience must have a historical value and I believe it is inappropriate for travelers who are not ready for the condition.

My Childhood Memory




I was looking the view around my house , at that time, I was standing on a tree so I can feel the wind touching my skin. The wind pierced to my ears and blowed the tree , it was like I'm flying like a bird. Suddenly a women was approaching me ,she spirted a scented perfume to her body, so when the wind was blowing ,the smell was change it was become fragrant . I couldn't smell the fresh air again then  I asked the women to keep away from me and I said " if you were here the air was getting smelly!" She was resentful by my words then she waggled her hair and go away. I knew that my deportment was annoying.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
The scullery maid....was cooling her cheeks by the lily pond. There had always been lilies there, self-sown from wind-dropped seed, floating red and white on the green plates of their leaves. Water, for hundreds of years, had silted down into the hollow, and lay there four or five feet deep over a black cushion of mud....fish swam—gold, splashed with white....poised in the blue patch made by the sky....It was in that deep centre, in that black heart, that the lady had drowned herself.
Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again....And I shan’t recover this time.....I am doing what seems the best thing to do....I can’t fight any longer....Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer....I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.

The writer’s purpose is to give information about the scullary maid’s life and to create sympathy.This shows that her life was very pathetic by seeing the text , the writer uses normative words and concedes that the scullary maid’s life was full of sorrow . It is preposterous to describe “cooling her cheeks by the lily pond”  whereas lily pond is a vegetable, actually it is describing that her daily activity is just living in scullary ,washing dishes and only vegetables that always accompany her everyday.
An indignation picture of scullary maid is created that she has given up of her life ,it is described by “ I shan’t recover this time” it means that it ever happened to her. Nostalgia is created in her mind “ i don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been “ that she ever did something with someone  and to evoke the past of her memory that she convinces  that she and that someone are happier than the others.
