Final Exam

I think I won't get a good score on my final, because I have a feeling that I will miss many question on the multiplye choices just like the past test. This happens to me sometimes, because sometimes I don't read enough times and when I don't read enough times, I can't memorize the story very detailed. I worry most about question 11 and the last question. I worry about them, because if you have one of them wrong, you can get them all wrong. I choose ballad for the question 11, and so as on the last question. I wrote a lot of sentences on the last questions, and I don't think I can get full credit on that questions, cause I think I don't have enough details from the story to support my answer. I am most confident on the first essay question, which is the question about how to read a poem. That question is pretty easy for everyone, cause all you do is write down what happen and how you read the poem. I can get higher score by reading more, asking questions, and listen to the teacher. Well, I hope I don't miss too many questions on the mutuplye choices.

Heroism Today

I don't really think of many heros today. Well, mabye there are, but I just don't know. The hero in the old times that I know are George Washington, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Sun-Yat-Sen, Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Einstein. Heros in the modern world that I can think of are Obama and Ma-in-jiu. I choose Obama as a hero, because he is trying to end the war in Iraque and Afganastan, unlike George Bush. Also, the economy of United States is getting better. I choose Ma-in-jiu as a hero, because he makes Taiwanese richer compare the time when chen-sui-bien was the president. Also, he brought peace to both Taiwan and mainland China, instead of war condition. I don't think heriosm is dead yet, because it is not too hard to be a hero. For example: people can be a hero just by cleaning you room or helping an old person to pass the road. Anyway, even thougth there arn't as many heros today, but there are still some heros that we can't see.

True or False

Personally, I think it is ok for people to lie sometimes. It is ok to lie for art work or lirature pieces if that lie does something useful. Sometimes, people need to lie in order to help people, like doctor. Doctor will sometimes meet insane or maniac people, people that think their life is miserable and meaningless, so they want to die. Doctor need to say something good, even though it is not true, to help those people. Otherwise, the population of suicide will just increase rapidly. It is sometimes ok to lie about the lirature pieces, because the writers need to make the stories as interested as possible. That way, more people will like to read, and more people will be edjucated. Even though the stories in the book are not true, the stories have done something useful. Basically, I think it is necessary to lie. Even though lieing is not a good thing, lieing can be helpful sometimes. So be smart, lie when you need to lie! It is not a shameful deed! Many people lie too, like lawyers, doctors, and even president.
