Rabbit Proof Fence part 2

For all the aboriginals,

We British are very sorry about our plan to take the half caste child from the people and tried to make them Britten. We were mean, cruel and no second thought about what we are doing. On behalf of all the people, I A.O. Neville will officially apologize to everyone. I was supposed to make the Aboriginals happy and feel comfortable but instead I was named as 'Devil'. I think I fit the word 'Devil' because I had interfered to your normal life and make it as bad as hell. We are all ashamed of what we did so I promise to you from this moment on, I will never think about changing the Aboriginal people to Britain. For the consequences, I will learn how to speak the native language of the Aboriginals and try to negotiate to them before I act. I think all the people of aboriginals include some suggestions about what actions individual people could talk about what should we do about the reconciliation process. As always, we are very sorry.

Rabbit Proof Fence

A hero is someone who takes action for something that is necessary and someone who thinks and takes care of others first. So, I think the character Molly is a hero because she saves herself and the others to make them happy. For example, if she comes back she will be a hero of their family and the other half-cast child to not give up escaping. She also wants to have a normal future for herself and the others. But, this incident will affect her father’s job and can get into really big consequences. They could lose house, being killed and more. But to sum it all up, I still think Molly did what she have to for the sake of her sister which is a better choice then being forced to be a British.

Learning Profile Blog Outline_YooJoon















'I learn best when by focusing on the details.Processes by analysis,verbalization, and writing'. I really agree with this quote because for me to understand all the important things by enjoying and focusing on the details. Also, I prefers structured learning and appreciates orderly sequencing of information. This connects to me because in order for me to get good grades, I need to know the instruction orderly.

But, I need to improve on to connect to information emotionally or kinesthetically. This really connects to me because I need to emotionally interact with my peers. For me to improve on my education, I need to be positive and have enjoyable sensory motor experiences.
During stress I may have problem seeing the big picture, so strategies that would help me in my learning is that I'm able to pick up details of information through the eyes and ears even under stress. Also, I need everything to be planned out for me(plan it before act). If I'm under stress, I can't get my gestalt hemisphere to work.

I would like my teachers to know that I am both an auditory and visual learner. My biggest challenge for me is to have access to my right brain easily. Because of my dominant hand, eye foot are all opposite the logical hemisphere.

How can Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man?

I think Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man because his ideas for everything was and reborn from the Rome. Also, his way of thinking is very extraordinary and mystic. For example,he drew the Mona Lisa's smile. The smile is very different because you can't really tell by the smile if she is happy or sad. On the other hand, he was characterized as a true Renaissance because he think outside the Roman Catholic Church. Besides that, he was an inventor who made a military canon which is very useful in war. Also he was very known as a scientist because he sculpted the foetus of a actual women. Adding to that, he was a very famous inventor by his bicycle, helicopter, an "auto-mobile", and some gruesome weapons.

Brunelleschi's Virtuosity

I believe most prompted Brunelleschi to succeed in the construction of his masterpiece is virtuosity. Using creative leadership, Brunelleschi showed many of the famous architectures and the magistrate his designs of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. He was able to accomplish by his technical skill, fluency and Creativity. Also, he found a way to not let the rain water leak from the roof. Besides that, he discovered a skill that doesn’t allow the dome to fall in the inside of the dome. In order to construct the dome, he was able to think something no one else had ever done before, and to redefine architecture and engineering of Roman Empire. He was also gifted with special knowledge of or interest in art and architecture. The actions and decisions of people effect change greatly, take a look at Brunelleschi’s dome. If money had not been provide to Brunelleschi, the dome will never be standing. Also, Florence will not be same as today. “In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts mind there are few.” Suzuki Shunryu. She says that new ideas come from your basic knowledge.

Where do new ideas come from?

For me, new ideas come from imagination. Because imagination allows you to think of new ideas. All the famous invention came form inventors. Thomas Edison who wanted a new source of energy instead of fire. Then, he invented electricity to made everyone's life better. Also, the Wright brothers wanted a transportation that is faster than train and cars. So, they wanted invented airplane. In conclusion, I think new ideas come form everyone's imagination.

My favorite short story

In the short stories unit, I have read 3 stories, The Sniper, Lamb to the slaughter and Thank you ma'am. The stories are all good. But, my favorite short stories is Lamb to the slaughter. Because of the interesting plot. Also, I love how Mary Maloney calculates the whole crime scene. Besides that, my favorite part of the story is when she feed the lamb to the police.
