Fallacies

The pervasive mass media are making people easy to express their opinions. They can post their essay on their blog and web site, and comment about others’. Even though we can get others’ ideas and opinions easily, there are problems that we have to solve. Because the opinions that we can access is not written by experts, it is easily distorted.
In the web page that deals with that “who is Barak Obama?” I could find many fallacies. The writer who maintains that Obama is a “radical Muslim” is committing many faults. He stretches the meaning of specific facts related to Obama.
That is not enough to define that Obama is Muslim with reason that his father was Muslim. In addition to misconstructions, there are many allegations and factual errors. For example, the Basuki School which Obama attended in Jakarta, Indonesia is not Muslim school. However the essay mentioned that Obama attended the Muslim school.

My goals in ENG 101

As an international student, I do not expect to be improved as much as other American students. However, I think there will be many things that can improve my English skills including writing in English 101 class.
My goals in this class are an improving my skill of composing sentences and grammar. In addition, I want to get more words. There are no objections about that it is very important to gain many words for international students. I am slow at writing because I have to translate sentences that I want to talk and compose those in my head. By writing as much as possible I want to improve writing speed too.

Art Museum

In drawing something, I think the composition of objects is important as much as the skill that can depict the object realistically. The first picture that we saw in art museum had typical composition. It had diagonal position of characters and we could find perspective in the picture. The method that puts objects along the line from each corner to center is the easiest way to express perspective. And it is helpful to express what the most important thing is in this picture.
Other way to emphasize the important thing is lightning and shadowing. The painter focused the main character by lighting up. The lighting has an effect that makes the object looks like being front and important.
Not only the picture we saw, but also other pictures in art museum have these methods in pictures.

Ishmael Beah Presentation

At the lecture, it was interesting for me. Actually it was hard to understand perfectly what he was talking about. So I might missed detail contents or important things that he wanted to let us know. However, I felt many things from his speech.
When he was young, he participated in war. He killed people and had drugs to do that. I think most people cannot have such experiences nowadays. I can feel his fear that he felt in the war a little. Because my country has been under suspension of fire for fifty years, young men in my country have to go to the army for two years. I finished the obligation. So I know the fear when I have a gun and shoot something. Even though I was not in the war it was so fear. I surprised at his age in the war. He must have been under so much stress at that time.
I think anyone who did not see the enemy who were ready to kill me cannot know the fear.
