ELO Beijing Through the Lens Day 3- Liu Li Chang

We first made prints in this shop with many chinese art pieces. We used a piece of stone and ink to make a 福 word on red paper. Then we had time to walk around the street to see other shops. After we had lunch, we returned to the same street and took more photos of the road. It started raining so we walked back to get on the bus.

 

ELO Beijing Through the Lens Day 2- 798

First we went to a museum called the UCCA, seeing different forms of art and taking pictures. Then we walked around the area, looking at the shops and tunnels around the place. The art museum was very large but also seemed a bit empty as each room was huge. They also incorporated things like audio and videos to put us in the scene of the inspiration of the art of where the art was made.

ELO Beijing Through the Lens Day 1- Hong Luo Si

The temple had a bamboo forest in front of it, with small pagodas and a lake with fish. The day was pretty hot so it provided shade for us to take a break under.

I’m Shunfei; I have no experience in photography but like sneaking photos of my friends and recording life. I’m really afraid of the heat so I almost never go outside during the summer.

Title: Wild Born

Author:Brandon Mull

This is the first book of the series Spirit Animals. I noticed that Meilin was raised to be a strong warrior, but is actually really unbalanced with her emotions and feelings. I also noticed that her spirit animal helps calm her down.

I finished Eragon over the break, which is the first book of a trilogy.

I noticed that Eragon is really quick to act on his emotions, like when his father and Brom died.

Boxers: Do They Deserve The Bad Reputation?

The boxers do deserve a bad reputation. Not only did they bomb a mine under the french legation and blame foreigners/new churches being built for the droughts and floods happening, but they also killed a lot of foreign missionaries and Chinese converts. When they bombed the french legation, they showed that they were hot-headed and quick to act because they could’ve just worked things out of they didn’t agree with something but they chose to bomb a mine under them, forcing the French and Australians to seek shelter with the British. This made the relationship between foreigners and boxers even worse, making coming to a truce even harder (not that it happened). When they blamed the foreigners and the new churches being built for the droughts and floods happening, they showed that they were really quick to blame others for things that they didn’t do. As people say, “Innocent until proven guilty”, so when they blamed them it showed the biased thinking of them, because it might just be someone else who “made god angry” or the climate change. But the worst is that they killed a lot of foreign missionaries and Chinese converts. They are going against the missionaries because they think that they should be able to follow the religion they want to follow, but when they killed them, it was the same as what the missionaries were doing because they are forcing the Chinese to stick to their own religion. This also showed that they were ruthless, killing not only the missionaries but also killing the people that were once part of them.

 

Midsummer Nights Dream Daily Magazine Cover

This project is from the story Midsummer Nights Dream, written by William Shakespeare. I chose Lysander because I saw immediately that he was full of personality, and there were a lot of conflicts that revolved around him or he participated in. I chose this image because the feeling the person gives me is pretty close to Lysander. I feel that Lysander is a really hardworking, determined, and loyal type of person with a warm smile that he only gives to Hermia, especially when Theseus, Egeus, and Demetrius were all pressuring them. I am really proud of the subtitles like “The Ultimate Gossiper” and “Fight or Flight”. I thought of those while I was writing and never actually really thought about it, but I am pretty glad it came to mind when it did.

 

Humanist? Me? Yes? No?

I

I would give myself a 7/10 because I want to be in control of my own life, do what I want to and like to do, and hold on to my individual dignity. I do not go to church, but sometimes I talk to the stars thinking that they are the people that died. I believe that people aside from the really rich could become great, but reality says otherwise because if you grew up on a farm in a really poor family then the chances that you would move to the city after college or even going to college are slim, very slim. But for the rich, even if you don’t have grades as good as other people, your parents could afford to help you with a lot of things, therefore filling up all the good jobs. I mentioned that I don’t go to church, but in China, we don’t vote so it’s not like in America where we get to vote, although we all live under the government, and people go to church willingly. I am not interested in a classical culture like their architecture, literature, etc, but I know there is a classical culture in the world.
