First Week of School

Last week, I started a new school life. I came to The Webb School as a new sophomore student. The Webb School is an awesome place to study and live. On my way from the airport to Webb, I realized that I had not seen any bare land without plants. Even in the summer, in mid August, the weather is still nice and warm, not extremely hot.
My first impression of my dorm, Chambliss, was actually not that good. I got lost a lot trying to find my room. But soon, when I got familiar with Chambliss, things became better and better. You will never feel bored in Chambliss. Plus, the view from my room's window is pretty.
There are a lot of differences between Webb and my middle school. In my middle school, they always ring the bell before meal. Frankly, I was waiting for the bell ring in Webb. And obviously, I missed my first breakfast.
Yesterday, an eclipse happened in TN, and the whole border community went to MTSU to watch this spectacular astronomical phenomena. That was my second time that experienced the totality. Unfortunately, I wasn't fully prepared, and did not have chance to take satisfactory picture.

The Name Game

Ashima is a feminine version of Asim, which means "boundless" or "limitless" This is actually the opposite of her life in America: as the most culturally conservative member of the Ganguli family, she suffers a lot from the life in the town. She couldn't fit the life here. quote: For being a foreigner, Ashima is beginning to realize, is a sort of lifelong pregnancy – a perpetual wait, a constant burden, a continuous feeling out of sorts. Ashoke is a variant of Ashoka, which means "without sorrow"; this name is directly This name was borne by Ashoka the Great, a 3rd-century BC emperor of India. Ashoke has come over a very difficult obstacle: a near-death experience of a train crash. However, he decided not to remember the disaster itself but all the other good things happen after it. quote: Though there are only inches between them, for an instant his father is a stranger, a man who has kept a secret, has survived a tragedy, a man whose past he does...

Journal 5

Journal 5: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Describe what these three statements mean and their contradictions. How would you rationalize these statements? War Is Peace is a slogan used by the Party, which first appeared in part 1 to describe a situation that a nation or a country will only be united with a common enemy. When a country is in constant conflict with an enemy, the party will gain justification for certain actions that are not plausible during the peace era and people's attention will deviate from the internal government to external intruders. With these conditions created, the people will be less likely to revolt and create a stable society, which is equal to "peace" in the party's definition. Secondly, the slogan Freedom Is Slavery means that any unsubordinated people in society will be eventually bounded to chaos. If everyone act in their own way of interest, they will get not the freedom but the chaos. The party used this s...

Who are YOU

1. A book that left a lasting impression; made me think; etc. is ___________________ because........... (150 words minimum). 2. Who are you, and where are you going? (150 words) Steven: 1. A book that left a lasting impression is Moon and Sixpence by Somerset Maugham because this book argues the conflicts between materialism world and spiritual world. The protagonist is a British Stockbroker named Charles Strickland who has married for seventeen years and makes an impulse decision to go to Paris to be an artist. Throughout the book, the protagonist was struggling to escape from bondage of “sixpence”. Even though he is strong enough to ignore the fame and wealth, he was not able to reject his human instincts. This book made me ponder for a question: did I ignore the moon above me while I was looking for sixpences on the ground? Although I, as a student, do not have real concern toward material aspect of life, my pursuition and efforts are still focused on material gain. I was do...
