Daily Reflection #2

On today's lesson, Mrs Gunther talked about talent. We got the privilege to look at some of the problems our society faces on finding their talent. I believe that I have a problem too. I think of myself as someone who has no talent in any specific thing, but just OK at it. I sometimes have a inner conflict with myself about it. I feel I would rather be best at one thing, then just be ok at everything. As I was taught that we were thinking to modest or worried, I got the courage. I hope to find a talent someday.

Daily Reflection #1

Our first lesson was on choices. Mrs. Gunther talked about the everyday choices we made in our lives. At first I didn't notice these small things were choices we made because it was our daily habit. However as I got to think of my options more on the even simplest thing, it proved that we did make choices everyday of our lives. Also we were struck with the question of which future to choose: money, fame, or God. Honestly at this stage of my life, I feel that money would be the most important, as any other teenager might agree. However, I believe I would change as time passes and hope that God becomes my future.

This image, “American Gothic” shows a very strong voice for sadness in the picture. If you just look at the picture as a whole, it is just a picture of a married couple having a normal life and farm for living. However, if you analyze the specific details of it you could easily tell that it has a sad voice. First, the very obvious detail, is the couple’s facial expression. We can’t really tell if the grandpa is sad, just that he is not happy. The main detail we have to look at it is the grandma’s glare at him. She is obviously not happy, her facial expression and the way she looks at her husband tells us that she is not satisfied. Also, the background is another major portion of the voice. Even though it looks perfectly fine, the small dark smudges gives us a dark feeling, which is why we feel sadness in the voice of this painting.
This painting basically shows love. It is very obvious in the picture, because of many details. First the girl’s facial expression when she is getting kissed shows joy and peace. Also the background is decorated with flowers and bright colors. Also you could see that they are wrapped around a bright cloth. This shows joy in both of them and how they are not separate to one and another shows unity.

This painting is one of the most famous painting existing today. It is the “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. As you can tell from the background, the painting has a sort of a scary voice, and a confusing voice. Starting from the face and body line of the human, all the way to the background, it is all curvy. This gives us a sense that it is not really normal. Also the facial expression of the man shows that he is shocked, which gives a sense of fear in the voice.


This is another famous painting, “Weeping Woman” by Pablo Picasso. This also shows sadness voice in the image. Since the title of this painting is weeping woman, and the action she is showing we already know that she is sad. Her eyes and hand motion is a big clue as to why this painting shows sadness. Moving on to more specific details, we could see that her face is broken. This also symbolizes that her heart is broken showing the main sadness of the picture.
This is an painting portraying an tragic event. It is titled “The Slave Ship”, and it shows tragedy and sadness. If you look closely, there are many slaves on the sea dying. This was because the boat couldn’t hold them all due to the typhoon. The slaves get overthrown, and meat a tragic death. You could see the boat in the background, leaving, and gives the feeling that it is sorry for the slaves. Also, if you look more closely, you could see some slaves trying desperately to survive, which gives more sense of sadness.
