My Favorite: Chemistry




     Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, properties and behavior of matter. It is interesting for me since it just looks like magic in some aspects, for which they products or make very different material behind amazing reactions.
     Chemistry is concerned with atoms and their interactions with other atoms, and particularly with the properties of chemical bonds. It is also concerned with the interactions between atoms (or groups of atoms) and various forms of energy. Every item exist contains this or that lots of different atoms or molecules. They make up the life and wrold. So, the deeper human want to find the basic, chemistry have a more important status.
    Besides, it is sometimes called "the central science" because it bridges other natural sciences like physics, geology and biology with each other. So, I love it, for its fantasy and his comprehensiveness. Every time we mix different items into a beaker, they material may convert to another one and may have a bright-color.
    The etymology of the word chemistry has been much disputed. The genesis of chemistry can be traced to certain practices, known as alchemy, which had been practiced for several millennia in various parts of the world, particularly the Middle East.
 As for me, my major in college will be chemistry, when I can spend more and more time on the experiments and find the interesting reaction principles.

O Captain My Captain

              O Captain, My Captain.
                                               written by Walt Whitman


O Captain my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.




    It is the most fantasy and magic poem for president Lincoln, which is also was most impressive and popular poem at that time. Of course, it talks about a captain who is brave and help his ship get rid of risks and danger. As far as I think, the image I found from Internet is very suitful and appropriate. In it, the captain holding the sword, lifting the eagle, stands infront of the sea within roaring waves.


   He, The captain,who found the new lands for all members on the ship,died, left the cold and dead body. His eyes would not open, his heart would not beat, any more, no more. He died." But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead ". 

    How sad it is! He devoted his life and future to dirct others find the better future, but the consequnce he got, is death. He is a hero. President Lincoln, as the captain, was a hero in a great number of peoples' hearts. Although I am not an American, I can still imagine how people admire their captain, the hero, president Lincoln.
    




Nature Poem


                                    When I first see the poem with a picture, I fall in love with it.
When I was a very young child, I was curious about it.
Is it fly? Of course not.
So ,I think about it.
Now,still.
When I see this poem, I have a new feeling. Sometimes we can link the spider have some commons as people have. As for, sometimes I am a spider as it too.
We never have a long break to have a rest. In china, there is byword: it is never to old to learn. So, we are always running on the road to knowledge.
My favorite lines are when the author says, "Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space".
For human, the world is big and almost people can not travel all over the world. As for a spider, a garden is amazingly big and it will be very difficult for them to connect its net and find the feasible path. A spider must be lonely, it may be the only one in his area. However, it will not stop and give up. The only thing spiders will do just work harder. I'm not sure if my thoughts were correct but thats just the first image that popped into my mind when i read it.

What I Carry

Every day, the things I must carry:
My school id
Two cell phones: Chinese and USA cell phones.
Glasses.
And several textbooks,whose names are:
The Things They Carried
Myers's Psychology For AP
Chemistry the central science.

School ID:
It is one of the most important items which decides if I can have food for lunch. If I leave my school id in dorm, I will be upset that I will not have anything to eat during lunch and see others eating happily. Unfortunately, because of its small size, I ignore it few times a week. Each time I forget it, I tell myself: My lunch, my delicious lunch, I miss you!

My cell phones. The Chinese one is used to send messages to my girl friend and it is the only function it has. Sending messeage is the most common way for us to communicate, since the calling is not allowed in school and the fee is expensive.
As for my USA cell phone, it is excatly useless.

Glasses, I wear every day beacuse my myopia. Without my glasses, I can hardly see anything, so that the efficiency for every course I have will be as low as I do not understand.

  Last but not least, Textbook, such as The Things They Carried, is the book we are reading for English IV. I just made a mistake and lost 10 points since I left the book in the dormitory. Although I told myself I needed to bring it, I still forgot to carry.

My holiday

  As for my winter break, I came back to China and go to a small city which is called Yiwu. The first famous items for the city is smallware, it is international and is accepted all over the world. So, it is a international city in few peoples' eyes. But excatly, when I was there for visting the girl I love but who does not love me, I change my mind. It is developed but still keep the vallge style soemwhere.
  For urban area, the buildings and atmosphere are same as they are in Shanghai which has been an international city for about 30 years. However, when we went out the city to some rural area, we can find the different lifestyle we can only find in some orignial village.
  It is not the most important significent event happened during the period I lived in this city. She became my girl friend! It is one that I dreamed for a long time. When she agreed to give me the identity of her boy friend, I felt it was unreal.Was I dreaming?  But I realize It is true. It was not a fantasy. So the trip I went to the international city is very impressive and very importent to me.

Comments For Other's Blogger.

  I am interested in biological weapons which may cause severe consequences. As I know, it was first used in World War II and killed lots of people. Nowadays, there are many countries which are still focus on biological weapons. But for many reasons, it says this invention was paused. For the blogger itself, the eassy is short and a picture is used to make the post be more active and specific. The form is simple and clear. On the left side, there are some advertisements; Beneath the eassy, the bulk of blank are the places for comments and collections. Unfortunately, there are no comments and collections.

The Funny Amazon Review

Banana slicer?
This invention just makes the banana peel be fantastic as a masterpiece. Yes, it is very beautiful but is it useful?
- -Although I like the masterpiece, but as for banana, it's worth is eaten. Not the peel but itself.

My Own Reflection

  Blogger, the important communication program nowadays, which is used by most people everyday. However, I began to use it when I enter Eng IV course, I feel so uncomfortable when I was using it. It is different from the word that can point out the grammer problem. Because of this, I alwasys have some grammer problem when I write a post and put it on my blogger. I still feel a little nervous and shy that everyone can see my article and may find some problems from my essay.
  One afternoon, Mr.Parsons told me to stay and talked about my post together. After his introducation and my own understanding, I am better familiar with it. Since I am not the native speaker, having grammer mistakes are normal to me. But I directly believe grammer will be a piece of case after I contact more and more American culture.

The Leader in Vietnam War

  Diem, the first president of South Vietnam (1955–1963). In the wake of the French withdrawal from Indochina as a result of the 1954 Geneva Accords, Diệm led the effort to create the Republic of Vietnam. According to considerable U.S. support due to his attitude against Communism. In 1963, He was killed by some violent soldiers. 
  Diệm's appointment came after the French had been defeated at theBattle of Dien Bien Phu and were ready to withdraw from Indochina. At the start of 1955, French Indochina was dissolved, leaving Diệm in temporary control of the south. A referendum was scheduled for 23 October 1955 to determine the future direction of the south. It was contested by Bảo Dại, the Emperor, advocating the restoration of the monarchy, while Diệm ran on a republican platform. The elections were held, with Diệm's brother and confidant Ngô Dình Nhu, the leader of the family's Cần Lao Party, which supplied Diệm's electoral base, organising and supervising the elections.
He loved a gril who was his teacher's daughter when he was young,However, the gril left him and as the result of it, He sweared would not marry until he died.
Without family, he concerned on his nation, tried to make it be better and better.

The Problem I May Meet in the Future

                     When is a risk worth taking?

  Every people have his or her own lifestyle, some perfer to take an adventure whenever they can and some would like to have a peaceful and simple life without any risk and danger. As a result of different lifestyle, people have a different idea about the risk and positive or negative attitude. As far as I concerned, I think it is very dependent. When is a risk worth taking? Good question.
  When we are children or not mature enough, we may never familiar with risk which may cause a very dangerous or harmful consequence. When I was about 7 years old,considering if I should do homework, I always hope teacher would forget the assignment or will not check it. Because of this thought, I would go to watch TV instead of doing homework. There was a risk, just for doing homework or not, the result will be different. First, if teacher did not check it, everything was ok; however, he must be very angry and think I was lazy. Shall we take the risk? Is it worth? Of course, the answer is no. Students should do their homework every single day,
  When we became a teenager, we began to have our independent thought and may fall in love with somebody. If we are luckly enough, the people we love just love us too, it will be very easy. But unfortunately, most people can not love the right people, which means the people they love do not love them, called One sided love. At that time, the risk appear and they need to have a decision. First, giving up and choose another aim. Second, keeping love and try their best to move the people they love. My girl friend just told me that sometimes love is just a feel I had and was not related how much you had done. So, loving someone who does not love you is a kind of taking risk. After all, love is unpredictable and uncontrol. As for me, this kind of risk is worth takting, if the girl is exactly the one special and can not be forgotten.
