im back from being distracted by internals

okay so cause i cant think what to post and i had another scare that i forgot my password i decided to post.

here is a sample of what i have been labouring over...sad but true...this is part of my commentary on the poem 'sweet like a crow' by Michael Ondaatje for world lit 2.

"The imagery of the poem collates to seemingly emphasise the author’s understanding of human nature. The emotionless relating of death as well as life shows an acceptance for the natural world with its cruelty and blessing. The ‘womb full of twins’ can be seen as quite a clinical statement void of emotion and personal bond. The use of the ‘womb’ emphasises the view of the subject not as a person but as a container for new life. This vague detachment felt by the use of the synecdoche in this phrase is enigmatic as the entire poem is about eclectic images drawn together by what seems to be personal experience. This general description of new life may be written to bring the reader into the poem as this symbol of new life and the unspecified ‘womb’ could relate to any human female. The imagery of death and this raw account of the natural food chain follows immediately seemingly to balance the life carried in the womb. The balance of the personal interpretation as well as the aspects of core human nature is displayed in the raw images of life portrayed in the poem."

im proud of the above paragraph cause i basically talk about one word for about a hundred and that i use the word synecdoche ^^

The poem Sweet Like a Crow seems to echo the journey of a human’s perception. Focusing on the great natural qualities of Ceylon, the poem delves into an eclectic array of images. As the poem seems to cast aside ordered scansion and revel in chaotic rhyme the natural world shows its dominant position through the cyclical and inevitable portrayal of life and death. The nature of our existence is key to this poem as it focuses on the diverse experiences one may obtain through a life, and the soft irony is displayed as these events in turn are able influence how we view a new experience.

As you can tell by the lack-lustre conclusion. i abhor conclusions!

and you have no idea how many times i used the word imagery alone!!!

okay this is enough.

words words words

LOL so this is random

i found this after a funny word so i decided to put it here..you see they called a girl 'delectable' LOOLL like a bowl of soup!!!LOL!

"Instead of treating females as non-entities as Confucian orthodoxy had prescribed, the posters not merely showed them, but presented them as gorgeously dressed, professional women that radiated an air of self-confidence. To many, these 'modeng [modern]' girls were a reflection of women's search for a separate identity"

so does objectification give power to women or disempower them?


whatever your answer i bet it contains the phrase 'to an extent...'

...im so sick of the phrase 'to an extent...'

back to art all is almost done.

The sun will come out...tomorrow...its only a day away.

put on your ruby slippers IB friends and click your heels together. we only have four more months of school.

im sitting here doing tok and i have a problem. i dont know what it is but there is a problem.

so ive been told that there are different types of things we know
Known knowns= something we know and we know what it is.
known unknowns= something we know that we don't know <- of which this is one
unknown knowns= something we dont know of but we know
unknown unknowns= something we dont know about and we dont know that we dont know.

i dont really get it... i probably got it wrong and btw it really has nothing to do with tok.

tok depresses me...makes me feel stupid as probably with others too...i mean...gosh

Fascination with work

So I've been collecting data.
this data is about Disney Princesses.
I shall tally the scores now.


Jasmine Supported by: vivi and wensi
Belle Supported by: Me and half of Ying
Mulan Supported by: Danny, Wong, Katherine and half of Ying
Cinderella Supported by: Vincent
Ariel Supported by: Nadz, Steve and Emily Grace Shi
Aurora Supported by: Joanne

Congratulations Mulan (for those who don't know, the Asian one, big surprise there) but what is a surprise is that she won by half a person!!!

And thus Ying is featured in another odd predicament on my blog.

Due to world lit/art/math/school i cannot be bothered to go into more depth.
I was going to think about the princesses work and ours and bitch about that for a while...but LOL honestly cbf...

personal examples please...

so tok

because i am annoyed im writing this post
tok is silly

okay my topic as i have previously mentioned is ridiculous...

so i arrived at the idea that ....

" I believe that everything should be open to rational criticism when in the public forum however the individual should have a right to hold knowledge claims that are not proved by reason if there are no ill effects proven. Thus we should not have hold rational beliefs but for the harmony of society I think rational criticism must hold a solid station." -from my essay

Thus now i am looking at the way of knowing, faith. faith=fides which is the latin word for faith.

fides=trust, loyalty and faith

therefore how can it be trust if you can are able to rationalise the situation?
if someone can have knowledge in another way than just believing it how can you call that faith?

im sooo confused

okay so the idea now is that reason should be applied to the areas of knowledge rather than the ways of knowing ....maybe thats the thing and i just got side tracked ...debating a dead debate...crap okay tok...i hate thee.

plus
if anyone has personal examples that i can use -i have a snazzy one from transformers II- just please please comment and words i want interesting words to spice up my work!!! cool..so tok

The colour of twine is also an important factor...

well, get it? O.o

perception and reason

I decided i should blog or i would forget my password again. Now what to blog about well....good question...how about..hmm...well..im thoroughly bored. i know!!! tok...well you see tok is this thing we are subjected to biweekly and yes people i used the word biweekly or i could have used its synonym fortnightly wonderful eh?

anyway i get distracted by words oh gosh! actually i was reading this book online and it used the word 'boon' i mean how old fashioned!! it was so quaint i almost died. anyway i think to make tok interesting i shall throw in some strange words so if anybody has some good ones let me know!!

now our topic is no. 6 'All knowledge claims should be open to rational criticism. On what grounds and to what extent would you agree with this assertation?'

There are three of us doing this topic ying, wensi and i so you can imagine how productive we have been.
ying-caught finishing other work
wensi-caught attempting to find answers online to no avail
me-caught looking for a distraction
sav was there too but she was doing a different topic which i believe included reading emily grace shi's blog.

so a tok aliby: how do you know that we have not been productive??
answer: through perception and reason.
aliby: and i cant be bothered to point out limitations. sooo...

ill get back to physics now
