1a.The main feeling that the author is expressing is the persona's dissapointment in his class and how much he detests the class's attitude.For example,it can be seen from his use of the metaphor "unruly hounds" , in the stanza,this is used to show that the class are hunting for knowledge with the teacher leading them,as hounds are known to be loyal to their master,which in this cas is the teacher,the word unruly means that they are not listening to him and are disruptive in the lesson.The use of the word quarry is a pun,as it could either mean that they are looking for vast knowledge,however,another use of the word quarry could be in the term stone quarry,which could mean how hard it is for him to lead the class to learn as stone is known to be hard.
The second stanza shows how much he is insulted by the quality of the work that he received from his students.As could be seen from the poet's use of the metaphor ,insults of blotted pages,this metaphor show that he is insulted by the probably vandalised with the drawings of the students on the sheet of homework.The pun endure the brunt shows that he feels hurt that the students don't take his lessons seriously.
The third stanza shows how the teacher is offended by the students as could be seen of the use of the pun toll as it could mean that taking his salary,or it could mean that he is taking some sort of punishment set by the students.
1b.The tone of anger in the poem is explained through the format of complaining.In the poem,the persona seem as though he is complaining to the reader.This is effective as it brings a sense of closure for the reader to the persona's plight as the reader could remember his school days and recall if he had done the same as the persona's students.The format of complaining is also useful in showing us the inner feeling of a teacher,as the persona expresses to us his feelings of teaching.
My favourite food is the hainanese chicken rice,as the taste is unique.I have started to like eating it from the very first time that I have ate it,which was when I was five years old There are many factors which I like about the Hainanese chicken rice.The skin is soft and chewy,the meat is succulent and so on so forth. The texture of the skin is smooth and you can even swallow the meat the feel when the smooth skin of the meat into the throat is unique and feels good.The smell of the chicken rice freshly cooked has a special fragrance and provides a good appeite for the eater.The chicken rice is food for the eyes as well as it looks well and does not gives you a bad appetite. The chicken rice has a unique flavour and that is why I like it more than any other food in the country.Those and the taste makes it truly unique and is indeed a wonderful and cheap delicacy for the eater.And the food is easily found,which is convenient for the people who do not have the time to go to places.Blog post#1:My december holidays and the first day of school
Name of article:Over 1b flu vaccine orders This article speaks of the Northern hemisphere countries ordering more than a billion of H1N1 vaccines for the countries.Countries such as Greece, The Netherlands, Canada and Israel ordered enough double doses to inoculate their entire populations. I personally feel that this act of theirs is deeply unnecessary as it causes a shortage for the other countries and the other countries may have to do selective vaccinating which may cause more lives to be lost. The countries certainly do not need that many vaccines and should be wise enough to buy just enough vaccines for what they need,so as to allow other countries to save more people. The companies could not keep up with the demand for these vaccines due to the slow reproduction rate of the strain and the WHO should look into this and get more companies to work on this problem and solve it as soon as possible,so as to settle the demand problems. In conclusion,i feel that the Northen hemisphere countries should be ordering less vaccines and the Southern hemisphere countries should order more countries to save their citizens.WHO should also look into the possibilities of employing more companies producing the strain so as to imcrease the production rate.

The topic today is What are some tips you would offer fellow students to stay healthy? I would encourage those who are sick to just remain in bed and recuperate as their bodies need time to recover from the illness and thus they should not be sleeping late to work on projects,do homework or playing computer games.Staying up late when your body is still frail from the illness is irresponsible as it harms you body and if you fall sick again,it is troublesome for your parents. Those who are healthy should cherish their health and take homework for those who are not in school due to sickness.They should do more exercise and eat more fruits so as to boost their immunity system. Fruits are a very important part of a healthy diet as it boosts your immunity syatem and contain lots of vitamins to strengthen the body.It is especially important to take in lots of vitamins in emergencies such as the current situation. In conclusion,those who are sick should focuse on recuperating and those who aren't should take care of their own body.
The topic for today is :What are your thoughts about home learning? Is it more effective than learning in school? In my opinion,home learning is a more flexible way of learning,for example: during normal school days,I normally have to wake up at 5.15 in order to catch the bus,but during home learning,I could wake up as late as 7.30 to finish my work.It provides me with ease and allows me to learn at my own rate,even though some teacher like to spam us with homework through the website where we can't complain.(I'm not mentioning names). In a way,it is certainly a much more effective way of learning than going to school,but unlike in school,you cannot get immediate answers from the teachers,you have to either post a question on their websites and patiently wait for their reply or you leave it blank and ask when you go back to school. In conclusion,the home learning certainly is a effective way of learning.However,I personally feel that learning in school is better as it allows us access to the vast knowledge of the teachers.
My favourite poet is Homer.I have read some of his works such as the Odyssey,his biography is completely unknown and it might even be possible that he completely did not exist. He is traditionally known as blind and various Ionian cities are claimed to be his birthplace.His works are highly superstitious as was the tradition in Ancient Greece.HIs work talks about ten years after the Fall of Troy, the Greek hero Odysseus still has not returned to his kingdom in Ithaca. A large and rowdy mob of suitors who have overrun Odysseus's palace and pillaged his land continue to court his wife, Penelope. She has remained faithful to Odysseus. Prince Telemachus, Odysseus's son, wants desperately to throw them out but does not have the confidence or experience to fight them. One of the suitors, Antinous, plans to assassinate the young prince, eliminating the only opposition to their dominion over the palace. Unknown to the suitors and his son and wife,Odysseus was actually alive except that he was imprisoned on Oggyia an island belonging to a nymph who fell in love with Oddysseus. I feel that his works are deep as the story is full of the poems and i may sometimes have to spend some time figuring out the meaning of each poem,which adds to the trill of reading the book.I feel that he has great spiritual strength as he make wonderful poems even though he is blind.His story are about the gods and somehow relates to our current life, such as the gods having affairs with normal humans which relates to the current society with people having affairs.His most famous works are The Odyssey,and The Iliad. "A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king."This is quoted from Homer in The Iliad,I think it is interesting as it speaks of only having one ruler instead of a multitude of rulers,it is a good way to prevent war from breaking out as the ruler will have supreme control so that there would not be any wars. So little is known or even guessed of his actual life, that a common joke has it that the poems "were not written by Homer, but by another man of the same name," and the classical scholar Richmond Lattimore, author of a good poetic translation to English of both epics, once wrote a paper entitled "Homer: Who Was She?". This shows how little about Homer is known,which makes him very mysterious.
