ARW Blogging Assignment 6

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as Archetypal Hero.

My thinking of "Archetypal Hero" is no talking, and just complete their work and carry out their duties. In this book, when he is at the sea and fight with the big fish, there were just himself and fight with fish without giving up. And also he has confidence so much. His skills of the fisherman, body strength, mental power, and his beliefe. I think those are the roots of his confidence to fight with fish.

ASP Meiland presentation (June 8th Tue)

This is what I recorded today.

Class Review 5/25/Tue (ASP)

Today, we had A lecture about using "Google Presentation".
When we prepare for the presentation, there are some thing that we need to care.
One is use visuals like pictures, photos, graphs or videos. It will make presentation better and we can get more attention from listers. But when we use video, it should be around 2 minutes. 2 minutes is the best time that get more attention and don't lose attention from listeners.

This is a document of the presentation that I made today in the class

Blogging Assignment 5 (ARW)

The main characters in Old Man and the Sea are Santiago, a fisherman and Manolin, a boy who helps him.

Three adjectives that describe Santiago are cool, proud and economical.

From page 11, line 6. "many of the fisherman made fun of the old man and he was not angry". It means that he does not mind what others said. So he is a really cool guy.

And next, from page 10 , when the old man tells boy that "stay lucky boat". He didn't want to be worried by boy and he was not like that so he is kind of proud. At the last, from page18, line 22. "His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun". It describe that Santiago is a man who are really economical. Those three are the Santiago's characters.

Two adjectives that describe Manolin are kind and loyal.

From first part of the book, old man couldn't get any fish for 84 days. But Manolin didn't give the old man away and he wanted to stay with his boat. So it describes Manolin is really kind. And also, he is loyal because he did not forget old man's kindness and he believe the old man that his father because of his youth experiences. Those two is the charactaristic of Manolin.

(ASP) Class Review 5/21 Fri

Today ,we learned about how can we have a good presentation.

1.Content
2.Structure
3.Deliver
These three are the key of having good presentation.

1. Content
Content is information of the presentation. We better to have high quantity information and high quality information.

2. Order
We have a best order to have presentation.
Greetings → Thank Audience → Self Introduction (name / background) → Topic Introduction (theme / topic) → Outline → Body (main Information) → Summery & Conclusion → Q&A time → Thank Audience

Background and Topic have to be connected. that is called "establishing credibility".

3. Delivery

It is also important for having presentation that presenter's behavior (body language). He / she can't read the text, need to have confidence, looking everyone's eyes and so on .


These three content is really important to having good presentation.
