Fairytale affect children

Almost every child likes to read or listen fairytale. Fairytale is totally different to the real world, we have prince, princess, and castle. When i was a child, i dream i can become a prince, i could help and save the people who needs help. In fairytale, everything is beautiful, shin, and perfect. But unfortunately, is totally different to the world we are living. Child laren from the fairytale for honest, integrity, and brave, that is wouderful for children. But fairytale can not teach the child what they need to learn for living in this real world.

Snow Day

Today, a snow storm comes. This is another storm after last week's super snow storm. I love snow, since the first time i touch it at the first year i came to the United State. My hometown is in south China, like Miami, it could not snow. So i dreamed many times of the view of snowing. It must be very beautiful.
Fall 2003, "come, it's snowing." my cousin yelling me. This is the first time i see the real snow and touch it. I could not believe my eyes, it's really really beautiful, much more than i expect.

Second Spring

Second Spring

We have no passions left to love the spring
Who had suffered autumn as we did, alone
Walking through dominions of a browning laughter
Carrying our loneliness our loving and our grief.

How can we know another spring.
For there will come no flower where was fruit before
Now we have little use for spring's relentless seeking
Who walked the long, unquestioned path
Straight into autumn's arms
Who saw the summer passions wither
Into a leaf to hide our naked tears.

Earth is still sweet, for autumn teaches bearing
And new sun will warm our proud and cautious feet
But spring came once
And we have seen the road that led through summer
Beautiful and bright as clover on a hill
Become a vast appalling wilderness and rain
While we stood still, racked on the autumn's knowing
Binding cold love to us with the corners of her shroud.

This poem speaks of Spring as a beautiful season, that may never be replaced. The poet uses many types literary techniques, such as personification and metaphors. The poet says "cautious feet," an example of personification. An example of metaphor is when the poet says the earth is sweet. Also, simile is used to describe the road is like clover on a hill. After Spring, it will become Summer and then Fall. The seasons do not stop changing, for they will keep on going. One season will replace the next. But, since it is a cycle, the second spring will come again. The poem at first has a tone of sadness, but by the end transforms to a happier tone. I think this poem can be compared to our lives is a cycle as well.

I Forget

I forget the first word i had said that i am learning to speak.
I forget the way to travel from my home to my school in China.
I forget the first time i learn for computer.
I forget some of my teachers' name.
I forget the first time i touch the snow.
I forget my first boss.
I forget first book i had read.
I forget how to write some Chinese words.
I forget something that i forgot.

I REMEMBER

I remember when i was 3 years old, my grandma and grandpa came to The United State, i was alone in China. I just cry, and cry. I don't even know what is sad by that time, but right now, i know i was really really sad at that time.
I remember them, even i already forget their name. They taught me the word of FRIEND, we play, we smile, we cry together. But after i moved, i lost them forever. 1991
I remember the first time my father took me to school. Tall building, big soccer field, everything were beautiful.
I remember my first pet.
I remember the park that i play soccer ball everyday.
I remember the first time i play for the school soccer team.
