1.      Poem:
                          “ Có đất nào như đất ấy không?
                            Phố phường tiếp giáp với bờ sông
                            Nhà kia lỗi phép, con khinh bố
                            Mụ nọ chanh chua vợ chửi chồng
                             Keo cú người đâu như cứt sắt
                             Tham lam chuyện thở rặt hơi đồng
                             Bắc Nam hỏi khắp người bao tỉnh:
                             Có đất nào như đất ấy không?”
                                                                               (Trần Tế Xương)


Covering all the poem is tone of bathos which expresses author’s deep sadness and his pain together with his anger when his hometown changes positive under the rule of French colonialism.
Besides, the author used a rhetorical question at the beginning of the poem and repeated it at the end. This rhetorical question and repetition help him to emphasize his heart-break.
“Đất” means not only his hometown but also people in this village and real life. The metaphor in this rhetorical question shows author’s sorrow when his hometown has become “deformed” and hallowed tradition has lost.
 Moreover, he also used simile: “Keo cú người đâu như cứt sắt” . the overstatement: “Tham lam chuyện thở rặt hơi đồng” and the bathos tone. Though these rhetorical devices, people in his village are describe clearly. They are rapacious and always consider money be most valued and over everything.


2. Story:

Một đàn ếch đi ngang qua một khu rừng và hai con ếch bị rơi xuống một cái giếng. Khi thấy cái giếng quá sâu những con ếch còn lại bèn nói với hai con ếch kia rằng chúng sẽ phải chết. Hai con ếch mặc kệ những lời bình luận và cố hết sức nhảy ra khỏi cái giếng. Đàn ếch nhao nhao bảo chúng đừng vô ích, hãy chấp nhận cái chết không thể tránh khỏi. Cuối cùng, một con ếch nghe theo lời của đàn ếch. Nó gục xuống chết vì kiệt sức và tuyệt vọng. Con ếch còn lại vẫn dồn hết sức lực còn lại tiếp tục nhảy lên. Đám ếch trên bờ lại ầm ĩ la lên bảo nó hãy nằm yên chờ chết . Con ếch nọ lại càng nhảy mạnh hơn nữa. Và thật kỳ diệu, cuối cùng nó cũng thoát ra khỏi cái giếng sâu. Đàn ếch xúm lại: " Không nghe chúng tôi nói à?" Chúng cứ hỏi mãi trong sự ngạc nhiên và lúng túng của con ếch nọ. Cuối cùng sự thật cũng được một con ếch già hé lộ rằng con ếch vừa thoát khỏi cái giếng kia bị điếc và nó cứ nghĩ là những con ếch khác hò reo đang cổ vũ cho nó!!!....

The above story uses the metaphor. Through the image of frogs, story wants to talk about people. The frogs drowning a deep pit are metaphoric image for people who have difficulties in life, others are people around them and frogs’ sayings are encouragements to them. The story shows the force of people’s saying. If they are encouragements, they will help people to overcome every difficulties. In contrast, they can kill them. Therefore, be careful with your sayings.

The above picture using bathos and metaphor express throwing rubbish carelessly.

The Pet Shop

 


Cody and his sister April decide they want a dog. They head down to the local pet store and have a look around.

It is a very small pet store that doesn't have many animals.

The owner of the shop is a nice old man named Mr. Smith. He walks over and greets Cody and April.

"How can I help you?" he asks.   

"We would like to buy a dog," April responds.

"Ah, well, we are not a big pet shop," Mr. Smith tells her. "So we only have two dogs to choose from."

They ask Mr. Smith to show them the dogs.

Mr. Smith leads them to the back of store where the two dogs are. One of them is a very big bulldog named Buster. The other is a very tiny chihuahua named Teacup.

April wants Teacup. Cody wants Buster. They walk outside to discuss.

They can’t agree on a dog. April suggests they race home for it. The winner of the race chooses the dog.

Cody agrees, then tells April her shoelace is untied. When April looks down, he runs off and gets a head start.

Cody runs as hard as he can. He really wants that bulldog. He looks back. April is so far behind he can’t even see her.

Cody finally gets home. He is tired but he is happy. He knows he is the winner.

April arrives a few minutes after Cody. She congratulates him. They return to the pet store to purchase Buster the bulldog.

However, when they arrive they only see Teacup the chihuahua.
They ask Mr. Smith where Buster is.

Mr. Smith gives the details. He explains that a few minutes after April and Cody leave, two boys walk in and buy the bulldog.

Cody looks at April, and she holds back a smile. Cody sighs. He turns back to Mr. Smith.

"Sometimes you win the race, but not the prize!" Cody smiles sadly. "We’ll take the chihuahua, please."

THE END

Entry 1
CATS
I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep.
In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
1.     Rhetorical devices:
-         Simile: the man and cats have same qualities.
-         Paradox: woman loves cats which have qualities like man but they hate man.
2.     Message: woman hates man’s qualities.
Entry 2
“I LOVED YOU”
-        Puskin -
I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
The former love has never gone away,
But let it not recall to you my dole;
I wish not sadden you in any way.

I loved you silently, without hope, fully,
In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain;
I loved you so tenderly and truly,
As let you else be loved by any man.
1.     Rhetorical devices:
-         Rhyme: soul – dole, away – way, fully – truly.
-         Repitition: I loved you.
-         Simile: As let you else be loved by any man.
2.     Message: Describing a desperate love and a melancholy tune, the poem  shows a vehemence and magnanimity of people’s heart with a non-resultful love.
Entry 3
PHOTO

1.     Rhetorical devices:
-         Simile: the race between the rich and the poor.
-         Symbol: Graduate symbols of people who study well but are still poor; the man sitting in the car symbols of the rich
-         Antithesis: the rich >< the poor
2.     Message: Be not proud why you’re poor but excillent; however, ask yourself why you’re excillent but still poor.

Item 1
     A Poison Tree
                             William Blake

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole.
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see,
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.


Rhetorical devices:
   Paralellism: I was angry with my friend;
                         I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
                         I was angry with my foe:
                         I told it not, my wrath did grow.
Rhyme: friend – end, foe – grow, fears – tears, smiles – wiles, night – bright, shine – mine, stole – pole, see – tree.

Metaphor: ( an poison tree )  anger
Message:
Stifling anger will only cause the anger to grow

Porfolio Entry 1

1, Poem

Hell and Heaven

Hell is other people who
No matter what you do
Always find something to judge
They drag you through the sludge
And see through your thin disguise
As they shred you with their eyes
All their faults and lack
They place upon your back
Unable to see their own transgression
It becomes their only obsession
To find all of your flaws
And all your broken laws
And they won’t even let you live
Because they refuse to forgive

Heaven is other people who
No matter what you do
Choose to see the best
In you and forget the rest
They don’t dwell on your sin
Since they want all to win
They don’t create divisions
By their prideful derisions
Of those with whom they differ
For they know that the transfer
Of their own guilt to another
Will come back and smother
Their efforts to be free
And their search for unity

Jean-Paul Sartre

He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give up in despair. Then a thought came to him, and he took a pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that intothe Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher.

The Tortoise and the Hare

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about whowas faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he

was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realised that he'd lost the race.

     Rhetorical devices :

+ Metaphor : the Hare ( the arrogant person ), the Tortoise ( the humble person ).
+ Simile : slow-fast, hare-tortoise.

     Message :

Be slow and steady.
We are humble and look up on opponents ( other people ) although we are better than them.

ITEM 1: A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Rhetorical devices:
-          Simile: love- red rose, love- melody
-          Overstatement: the sea gangs dry and the rock melts
-          Rhyme: June- tune, I- dry, sun- run, a- while- mile
-          Metaphor: sands of life: difficulties

ITEM 2: The Elephant Rope
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
Rhetorical devices:
-          Metaphor: elephant – sustainer
Message: make anything happen for yourself  despite failure
