Robert Frost - The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I've read this poem in literature class and I love it still. This poem is talking about choice. In the begining, "Two roads" means there are a lot of choices in our life but we only can choose one which we really want. The second paragraph means after you choose a goal and you look back to other choices, you find actually there are no difference at all. The third paragraph means we don't know the outcome before we make the decision, also after we choice one goal, we cannot sure whether we will feel regret or not and doubted if we should come back to the begining. The final paragraph says we will look back from the start and realize that if we choice another road at first time, the consequence will be totally different. I think the summary of this poem means there are many choices in our whole life, but after you make the decision there is no way to start over again.

Come on!!

This semester will come to the end in three weeks, I can't believe how come time can pass so fast. It's no doubt that we have to finish a lot of things and become busy in these three weeks, also we have to prepare for finial exam. I think this time I have to plan well about finial exam because last time I didn't prepare well. I can't wait for the winter vacation, so I wish I can pass all the exams and finish everything perfectly. So, I think now I have to study and finish some reports!! Come on!!

Lose Weight

About these two words I don't ever think it will happen in my life. Actually before I went to junior high school I was normal height with other girls. But when I went to junior high school I grow tall quickly because after school I played basketball with my friends everyday. So I think that's why I'm such tall now and no matter how much I eat, it is still hard to get fat. My sister also has same situation as me. She is also tall and doesn't get fat easily. I think we are lucky sisters, we don't have to care about "weight" and we can eat everything we want. Haha! By the way, Candance always says that she wants to lose weight and become thinner, but actually I don't think she is fat. I think everyone isn't perfect, but I think natural beauty is more important!

Again

The cold I've got three weeks ago is not recovered to health yet. This month I have been to clinic for three times, it is so painful to got a cold for such a long time. I still remembered that when I study in senior school, I have been cough for three months and the doctor said that might be an indication to asthma. I was so scared and I can't believed how come the condition was turn to so serious. Tow weeks later, I went to another clinic. Amazingly, I was recovered to health in a short time. I think every clinics has different ways to diagnose a patient's condition, so I think maybe this time I still have to went to another clinic........

Issue - Disney Channel

Haha! I'm a big fan of Disney Channel, I'm so fascinated in their short plays such as "Lizzie McGuire", "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and "Hannah Montana". These short plays are all funny and make me laugh!

"Lizzie McGuire" is really funny because sometimes it will use cartoons character to show the funny side so that it will be easy to unsterstand. Also I love the heroine, she is so pretty and she act well, too.





"The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is my favorite short play. Zack and Cody are twin, they always do some stupid things and really funny. Every characters in this plays are also funny, sometimes I just can't stop laughing. I love them so much!




"Hannah Montana" is really famous in America, teenagers and children are all know about her. The heroine is Miley Cyrus, she also publish her album by acting this short plays. She really sings well and the play is really funny,too.

Wonder

This semester will come to the end in four or five weeks. Time is going so fast, everything just rapid happened. As for me, I think it is a good thing because I also want to graduate as soon as possible, actually I still thinking weather I have to transfer to another school or not. I know it is a big decision and also hard to do but I still want to try. I wish I can find somewhere I can dependent on and gain more happiness. It is painful to stay in a place which you really don't like, many things only yourself know about the feelings and only yourself can solve the problems. So I wish I can live more happier and gain more smile.

Gay rights

I think parents in Taiwan really cannot accept if their children are gays or lesbians. Taiwan is a conservative country, so it is hard for people to accept such things. But I think recent years, this problem is become more smoothly, many organization are willing to speak out their opinions and people also willing to listen. I think it is a good begining because hunan's thoughs is more open than before, so I think we have to learn to accept new thoughts. Gays and lesbians are also human, so I think we have to treat them equitable and accept them.

Bad Mood

These days I've been psychology tired, I don't know how to say and I don't want to explain again. Too many things I have to do, I hope I can finish it as soon as possible. I don't want someone bother me. So I hope "you" can have some self-knowledge and I don't want to talk about your things again, and stop asking me reasons about the thing which happened recently. You always regard things are not your bussiness, but actually it's all about your bussiness and you never did it by yourself. It was me always devote and you totally know nothing. I am fed up of your attitude, so please just get out off my sight!

My thoughts on 'The Times of Harvey Milk'.

user comments

Harvey Milk

After watching this film, I think he is a remarkable man in that time because he was the first gay man to be elected in California, and is one of the earliest gay rights activists. I think no one can do as same as he did. He is not to care what other people think about or what they criticize him, he just do the things which can help citizen and bring them advantages. I think he help a lot of people who are afraid of to speak out about their opinions and beliefs. In this film, I think citizen also give Milk a lot of courage and supportability. A successful supervisor must have to catch people's mind and gain their trust. I very admire Milk's enthusiasm, he fight for rights and does not care he is a homosexual, although he had murdered finally, it's no doubt that he is ever a remarkable man.

Family Reunion

Yesterday we had a family reunion because my grandfather's birthday is coming. We had a happy dinner party, I talked a lot with my cousins and shared many things which happened recently. After dinner we had a really big cake to celebrate, everyone sang the birthday song to grandfather. It was a happy night, I also went to KTV with my sister and cousins. We had a good time there, too! I can wait for New Year coming so that we all can have a reunion again!

I got a cold!

It's so painful! The weather is always change recently. Sometimes very hot, sometimes very cold. So that I have got a cold. Now I have very serious running nose, when I sleeping, I feel I can't breathe easily and I also can't sleep well. Oh! Now I wish I can feel better as soon as possible because got a cold is so painful and I can't focus on everything!

I want to buy a car !!!

I really want to buy a car now because I have been didn't drived cars since I got the license this summer vacation. It has been a long time, I afraid that I already forgot any skills, so I very want to buy a car to practice. Driving cars is really insteresting, after I learn it, I notice that actually driving cars is not difficult as I think, it is very easy to learn and the test is also very easy, too. If I have a car, I can drive it from my home to school. Ha ha! It will be very interesting and I think I will be excited on the way. So I wish I can get a car as soon as possible!

Still Busy

Recently I also have been really busy. Last weekend I had to prepared for phonetics because we delate the midterm exam for two weeks. And other subjects also have many reports and assignments. I always get busy this semester, I wish the winter vacation can come soon so that I can relax, otherwise, I think I will get tired of school life and maybe I will give up the final exams. Oh on! It is so terrible. I don't want it really happen! So give me holidays right now!!

Issue - promise

Promise is very important between ourselves and others. If you promise someone to do something, then you have to finish it. In my opinion, I think promise is related with trust. If you don't bring about what you have promised, than no one will trust you anymore. So it is a important thing we have to realize. I think most teenagers will not attach importance to promise, sometimes they just be perfunctory. They don't look ahead and back of the situation before promise something, so that they always cannot get trust. So I think we have to think carefully before we promise others, if the thing is over your ability to do, you can refuse it instead of lose your faith.

Response Question

In my opinion, I don't think medical testing is a good thing, not only for humans but also animals. Nowadays more and more testing for medical research, although it is a new way to find solutions about medical problems, we have to notice that animals always be victims in every research. I think animals also have their rights, so I don't think the research is justified and necessary.

I think animal testing on cosmetics is also unfair to animals. I still don't agree to do research using animals. But in fact, it is really have greater risk to humans if we don't use animals. I think if we want to solve this problem, we can find some substiude to do the research or something inanimate object instead of using animals.
