ARW Blogging Assignment 6 (OMS)

The most useful in critically analyzing The Old man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as a Christ Figure. I think this approach is most appropriate because there are many evidences that Santiago represents Christ Figure in the story. First, Christ sacrificed his life to cover the guilt of all people. Like him, Santiago tries to get the big fish for dear his life even though the trying is very difficult and dangerous. So the old man and Christ are alike in being willing to do the crucial things. Second, Christ was crucified and his hands were hurt. Santiago's hands injured too in the middle of fishing the big fish. So the injured his hands represents Christ. Third, Christ is loved and believed by people in the world. Like him, Santiago is loved and respected by Manolin. In the town, there are great fishermen except for Santiago. However Manolin says to him " The best fisherman is you ". So both people are alike in person who is great and reliable person and loved from people. I think this approach is most appropriate by the above evidences and reasons.

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 passionate, inpatient, and humble. First, he has passion of getting big fish though he is old, so he is passionate. Second, he endured even he hadn't fished for 87 days, so he is inpatient. Third, he didn't mind that his pride was damaged and got sardines from boy. He leaned humility naturally, so he is humble. Two adjectives that describe Manolin are curious and kind.

ASP Assignment 5/21 class

I learned about the way of presentation in 5/21 class. In presentation, there are three important things. First, content is important. It is information. To present well, we should gather many informations, and in addition, they should be high quality. Second, structure is important. It means order. In general, the following order is used in presentation.

1. Greeting
2. Thanks audience
3. Self introduction ( name/background )
4. Topic introduction ( theme/topic )
5. Outline
6. Body ※more informations
7. Summary&Conclusion
8. Question time
9. Thank you

3( background ) need be connected with 4. This is because connection establishes credibility. Third, delivery is important. Delivery is attitude for presentation. We should speak , making eye contact. It is good to make eye contact for 5 minutes. We should not read manuscript.

I practiced this way of presentation in ARW class. It was very helpful for me. I want to be good at presentation.

ASP Assignment " The desert survival problem "

My score was 66 and my group score was 26.

In our group, we concluded that people should not escape from the desert but should stay there and request the help. Because, to escape from the desert is very dangerous. So we thought how survive.

We thought that food and drink are most important to survive. Next, we thought tools are important which is helpful for asking the help. For example, Plastic rain coat, Parachute, and Torch. It is nice for people to use them like flags. We thought that these tools become sign which people are there.
