The importance of the drawing in Persepolis.

The drawing in book Persepolis is as important as what writer write in the book. Therefore the book tell us the story and the thoughts about the characters in the book, and the drawing shows us the psychological activity of the characters. We can find out what they feel and their emotion by looking at the drawings. For example, in the third page, we can know that most of the children in the school don't like to wear the veil, because all their faces are looking sad and we can see anger from some of them in their eyes. Also the drawing can be the trastition for the story. Just like what we saw in the first two drawings, because of that girls are unhappy about wearing a veil, they use the veil to do silly things or even throw them on the ground in the fifth drawing on page 3. I think the first picture writer draw on page 52 is really important, because it show us a 6 years girl's idea about torture and waht she thinks that when people was cut into pieces. Therefore it makes the whole story become more realistic and it let us know a different sespective from a 6 years old girl who lives in Iran and have lots of experiement which normaly the girl in her age doesn't have. For the example, the demonstration in Iran and the death of people near her. Also this drawing become a transition to the rest of the story. It will show us how Marjane was changed when she grows up by the contrast between this picture and the picture in the 116 to 117. We can tell that Marjane grows up and change her feeling about people and death. As you can see in the book the drawings are as important as the words write on the book, and it really help us to understand the book well.

Reader you are

In the Collage, I have written a lot of interesting facts about how I read. First,I put a title called <Read>, because I think it relate to all the information I have put in the collage. Second, I put a picture of a man holding a kindle which is my favorite equipment for reading. It not only shows that I like to read with kindle but also shows that wherever I go, I will always bring the kindle with me, only except the time I am sleeping or doing sports. Also I am a little bit lazy, so I prefer to read with kindle in a comfortable environment than read a paper book in the library, so I put a picture which a man is reading in bed. Besides that I put a picture with a clock and books. The reason I put that picture is I am a fast reader. I have done a record before that I can finish reading a book with 30000 pages in less than a week. After that I showed a picture of a book called <the 13 and a half lives of Captain Bluebear> which is written by my favorite author who's name is Waler Moers. He is a German writer, and his book is a mixture of comics and fantasy novel. His writing is always entertaining people with his humorous and unusual but wonderful thinking, and that's the type I like. As you can see reading is really important to me and it gently become a part of my life. I can say that reading is my favorite things to do and while I am reading I feel myself keep in touch with a another world which I have never meet before. Ps( the picture at the bottom is my drawing of my best advisor who's pointing his finger to the blackbord.)

Who am I and what am I doing in this course?

When I feel sad or in a bad mood, I always listen to the music. As the music playing, I become relax and all my bad feelings will go away. So, listen to music is one of my favorite things to do. Here are three of my favorites songs to share with you guys, and I think all of them represent part of myself.
First, the Chinese song called <Dear> which is a background music of a movie. Sometimes I think that pure music is better than the music with people's voice. It can leave you more space for your imagination. Just like me, I am a person with bunches of imaginations and usually I like to have a peaceful and a relaxation  atmosphere. As you can see I am not a very rock person and I like to stay at home peacefully on weekend.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWsibLqDvEk&list=PL36E2F04945C05806) the links for this music.
Second, the song called <Push aside all>. It is really strange that sometimes I will be a completely different person than what I usually does. I become really excited and aggressive and be enthusiasm to everything. Just like every coins have two side, this song represent what I think and how I feel at the time I am a very rock people.(https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=冲开一切) the link for the song.
Lastly,the song called <old boys>. I like this song because it is like a 
microcosm about my memory in junior high school. So every time I listen to this music, I feel I go back to the time when I was that aged.
Three goals: 1.I want to improved my writing skills.
             2.I want to learn how to write a poem.
             3.I want to write a novel.

"Have a place and time to sit with your thoughts. Pray before sleep, or read a great poem. Sacred words will clear your crowded mind."
                                                                   ------ Seize the day by Judith Ortiz Coler
I like this part, because I think people need to take time to clear their worriage and pressure. People should free their self and do the things they like. Take off the mask, and be yourself.

5 ways to make a positive and effective class

First, I think it is really important to have a good learning atmosphere. When people in class are working hard, that will drive others to work harder. Second, student should have a positive attitude to learn. If students participate to class and answer the questions actively, the class will become more and more  effective. Third, students must following the rules, that will decrease many time wasting problem and make the class more effective. Fourth, teamwork is also very important. It can make the class become more creative and everybody will have chance to talk about their thoughts of the problems. Lastly, students must be respect to others.
