ADVANCE ENGLISH I METAPHORS



Today, 

September 5, 2022, we talked about Sylvia Plath's exquisite poetry "Metaphors,"   The hardships and emotions she had throughout her first pregnancy are discussed in this poem. Today again Eak Sir separated us up into different groups and assigned us the task of first discussing pregnancy and then interpreting the very poem. It was an extremely helpful and productive session since we learned about Sylvia Plath, her life, and what it's like to be pregnant.

While being pregnant is a wonderful thing for a women, I agree with the author "Sylvia Plath" that it also takes a heavy emotional and physical toll on the expectant mother. Pregnancy causes numerous imbalances in the female body, resulting in mood swings, cramps, cravings, and other difficulties. The mother may also experience negative mental effects if the pregnancy was unintended or unplanned. This could have been one of the causes behind Sylvia Plath's suicide attempt. Therefore, I agree with the author's viewpoints on pregnancy which is presented in her poem "Metaphors."

Through this poem, the entire class, including myself, learned about the difficulties that a mother must face in order to bring her child into this world. We all learned the value of carefully planned pregnancy and proceeding only when both the mother and father are fully prepared. If this is not done both the mother and the unborn child may suffer physical and psychological harm. It also teaches us that, as husbands and fathers, gentlemen have a responsibility to take good care of their pregnant wife and support them during their most tiring times.

Plath describes a sense of helplessness in the poem's final metaphor. If I were the author, I would have ended the poem with a ray of hope for the pregnant women who are in the same situation as Sylvia Plath. This could have given the poem a happy ending and benefited the pregnant women who would read it in future.

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I SWORD OF DAMOCLES 20th October 2022   After a long absence, Dr. Dawadi attended English class today. We discovered that he had been in an accident. We resumed class after hearing the entire story from Dr. Dawadi. Last week, Dr. Dawadi taught us a lesson: school is bad for children. Today, he taught us an ancient story, "The Sword of Damocles." As a part of our participation, Dr. Dawadi made us read the literature and analyze it.  The legend has it that Damocles, a courtier in the palace of Dionysius II, frequently bemoaned to his king Dionysius II his misfortune, which doomed him to a life of squalor and hardship. He often told King Dionysius that he was fortunate to have all the riches and comforts he desired. So, Dionysius II made Damocles an offer to trade roles for the day. However, Dionysius warned Damocles that the burden of being a king was so great that he must find a means to nev...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I HITCHHIKER Dr. Eak Dawadi's class began at the usual time. Today we were taught Roald Dahl's short story "The Hitchhiker." The story tells how one guy dealt with getting a speeding ticket. In the story, the narrator is driving to London when he stops to pick up a hitchhiker. The narrator explains that he always stops for hitchhikers because he used to be one and knows how difficult it can be. The narrator and hitchhiker get to talking, and the hitchhiker becomes very secretive when the narrator asks what he does. However, the narrator doesn't push the issue; again, he remembers that an endless barrage of questions can be annoying for a hitchhiker. Eventually they discuss the narrator's nice car, and the narrator claims it can go 129 miles per hour. The hitchhiker says there is no way it can actually go that fast; the manufacturers probably lied to him. This is a really interesting tale. It features complexity and story twists. It is intrigu...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I THE LOTTERLY Eak Sir came to our class today and inquired as to whether any of us had ever won the lottery. Then, one of our friends related his story of winning the lottery when he was still in school. Sir then decided to call the entire class to the front and direct them to stand in accordance with their height. Each male had to select two girls to make a team. Following team creation, he assigned a job to each group. Our group was given the assignment to find all the characters' names in the chapter. Following group presentations, Sir gave us a quick overview of what the chapter really covered. The backdrop for the narrative is a little American community. Every year, there is a tradition of holding a lottery in which the winner is selected among the villages. In contrast to previous lotteries, the lottery winner is sacrificed by the villagers to ensure a bountiful harvest of their crops. Mr. Summers, the village's oldest man, announces a lottery in which...
