School uniforms are bad

All around the world, students wear certain clothing. Which is school uniforms. Every parent ad teacher force the students to wear these 'school uniforms.' Well- the real problem is is this good for students? Well. school uniforms are not beneficial for students.
  First of all, school uniforms stop students from socializing with other student.s I fudamentally agree that students may wear some inappropriate clothes without school uniforms, But this is also a part if students' expressions. Thus, clothes help us to express ourselves. But school uniforms are just makes students hide themselves. Moreover, because students can do this they ca also socialize with other students. Clothes- they are also big part of self expressions.
  Second, it's against student's rights and it causes stress. Every student also has rights  to express themselves. As I said before, but school uniforms are just ignoring them. And because of this, students can also feel stress and their grades will also decrease. There is an actual study for this: at one school, the grades had fallen quickley and students also surveyed that school uniforms gives them stress.
 Those were my two reasons why school uniforms are bad. But however there are also these opposition arguments: School uniforms makes student focus in achedemic studies. Moreover, if the students wear school uniforms, they can less focus on fashion. However, this isn't true. If they wear school uniforms, they can get stress. They can also get stress.
 Second, some people say school uniforms ca n prevent school bullying. In addition, they believe that school uniforms can prevent them being judged for what they wear. However, this is also wrong. Because in school may people have the same economic situations because they all live near each other.
  In conclusion, school uniforms are bad for students. First, school uniforms stop students from socializing with other students. Second, it's against student's rights and it causes stress. However, some believe school uniforms are student's motivation to do better, and prevents school bullying.

Response Essay : Movie 'brave'

movie trailer

Last Friday, we saw a movie called 'Brave'. This movie is a 2012 animated film produced by Disney. It is very touching and tells us a valuable lesson: choosing our own fates and realizing the importance of our loved ones.

Merida

Like any other Disney movie, the main character Merida is a princess.. Her mother keeps expecting her to be perfect, like her, and to be a successful leader later on. But Merida is hopelessly drawn to archery, which is out of her mother's topic of being perfect. As her mother keep on forcing her to marry a disagreed marriage, she gets frustrated and runs off to the forest, Merida's favorite place to play and explore on. As she wonders on the forest, she lands on the grounds

covered with tall rocks, and finds a willow of the wasps, believed to lead people to their fates. As the wasps lead Merida to a witch's house, and she offers the witch to buy all of her products and gets a spell, which turns her mother in to a bear. As the two daughter and mother strangles to find a solution, they realize what is really important, love and freedom of fate.

  In this movie, you can often she Melinda and her mom fighting- a lot. I think her mom shouldn't force Merida so much related to her future. Merida wasn't so satisfied with her being perfect, and her mom is keep forcing her and giving her pressure, ignoring the fact that Melinda likes archery better. I think that her mom doesn't even have rights to chose Merida's own fate. Every person should have the freedom to live their own lives with happiness. And following what you like is exactly the part of happiness. But I guess Merida also is responsible because she did not try to discuss the issue with her mom. What they really should have is understanding each other. Even adults should listen from their children. Only if they had listened to each other!

and Merida

   My second response to the movie is about Merida's rather selfish attitudes towards others. I'm not saying she should ignore her opinion's toward her mother was wrong. Even though Merida was angry, she shouldn't have lied to her mother and acted naughtily. She should have sat down with her mother,  calmly discussing without violence, not ripping the travesty off. Even if she was angry, that kind of behavior is unacceptable for healthy relationship with her mom. Or, chaos will happen, and it did.

lessons indeed!

  But the movie taught us a lot of lessons. Te first lesson was managing your anger. Because Merida couldn't, her mother almost turned into a BEAR. This shows that we should be careful of what we wish for, and try to manage the anger you and main .
The second lesson was about choosing your own fate, even if you become successful,
you wouldn't be happy. Like Merida, you should choose your own fate and future, while of course taking the responsibility for it.

 The third, love. In the movie, Merida doesn't understand her mother, but when her mother turns into a bear, comes to understands her mother's love, hope, and thanks towards her. As in the movie, we should realize the love around us and be thankful for it.

  'Brave' was a very touching story and taught me a lot of lessons. I think the movie had a great structure too. It was a nice move!

Diamante poems- writing forms and stuff

what I learned in class the other day..
I just thought it would be nice to post in this blog and
summary them..:)
--------------------------------------------------

watch this video for quick summary! 

What is a diamante poem?

Diamante poem is a style of poetry that is made up of seven lines. The words form the shape of a diamond. The form was developed by Iris Tiedt in A New Poetry Form: The Diamante 

A diamante poem is a poem that makes the shape of a diamond. The poem can be used in two ways, either comparing and contrasting two different subjects, or naming synonyms and antonyms for another subject.

In the poems, the subject is named in one word in the first line. The second line consists of two adjectives describing the subject, and the third line contains three verbs ending in the suffix -ing which are related to the subject. A fourth line then has four nouns, again related to the subject, but only the first two words are related to the first subject. The other two words describe the opposite subject. The lines then are put in reverse, leading to and relating to either a second subject or a synonym for the first.
from wikipedia

examples

you can also write poems in synonym and antonym too.

For example:

for synonym

and

for antonym.

but you have to write in this form:

                             noun          

                     Adjective-Adjective
                         Verb-Verb-Verb
                      Noun-Noun/Noun-Noun
                         Verb-Verb-Verb
                       Adjective-Adjective
                             

                              Noun

Ode to CHAPSTICK

 Dear, Chapstick, 

How I remember the day I first met you. I went to a shop  full of cosmetics filling up the   space with clean senses of smells.

  And you were in the middle of the bookshelf , wiggling the scents out of you, with your dear friends of chapsticks of all kinds. I would have chose the other one, but I just chose you, I guess, with the meaning of challenge.

Your yellow and long body with unknown words all over you. I took a scent of you and you just blew me away, with full of green grass and the scent of flowers.

I bought you right away shoving you in to my pocket carrying you everywhere. It wasn't my intention when I melted you away with my hot pack :(( I was so suprised, but I guess you became solid again coating me with your warm scent.

I will always bring you there and now, till you fade away but I guess I would  still remember your scent and buy the exact same one, just like yours.

From, your's truly,
Dayon
