Entry 1

Item 1: Picture

" Cá hóa thạch" - Nguyễn Hữu Lộc

Rhetorical device:

-         Irony: The carps which are drawn beautifully in Hang Trong picture  now become ugly with exposed bones in the black water near the factory.

-         Symbol: The black river stands for the polluted environment caused by the factory. The exposed bones stand for the death of creatures in water.

Message:

               Factories are releasing toxic chemicals into rivers, which makes the environment seriously polluted and destroys the lives of many creatures there.

Item 2: Fable

The fox and the crane

              The fox invited the crane to dinner and served the meal on the plate. The crane could pick up nothing with his long beak, and the fox ate everything herself. Next day the crane invited the fox and served dinner in a jug with a narrow neck. The fox could not get her muzzle into the jug, but stuck his long neck in and drank everything himself.

Rhetorical devices:

-         Metaphor: The way that the fox and the crane treat with each other ( The way that people treat with another ones)

Message:

              How you treat with other people around, you will receive the same way from them.

Item 3: The song “ rolling in the deep”- Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your sheet bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

[chorus…]

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

[chorus…]

Rhetorical devices:

-         Overstatement: Count your blessings; turn my sorrow into treasured gold; throw your soul through every open door.

-         Metaphor: Fire ( hatred); scar ( the sadness was caused in love)

-         Repetition: Chorus

Message:

                    In the real life, when you are lovelorn, it is your bravery that can help you see the truth clearly and overcome the sorrows which were caused by love.
