ARW Blogging Assignment 6

The most useful approach to use in critically analyzing The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway is Santiago as the Archetypal Hero. A hero always fights with someone who is like another hero or who is completely antagonist. In this story, the former is the big fish and the latter is the shark. Also heroes finally success in everything even though they have heavy handicap. They overcome their handicap with great effort. In addition, heroes are perfect in their personal. The old man has all these elements, so I think he is written as archetypal hero.

ASP class at the second period in 6/4 Fri.

Today, we have class at Bakayama. Everyone was happy to hear that!

We practiced P&D about Meiland using some slides. I made presentation about difference between high school and college. I read my note many times, so rab said "Eye contact!" and members of our group also realized my false. I think when I make presentation, it is better for me to speak without any notes or with very very simple note.
Four people, including me, of our group made presentation about similar topic of Meiland, but all of us made so different slides and speech that I could learn how to give good presentation.

ASP class at the second period in 5/28 Fri.

I practiced presentation and discussion(P&D) in a group of 5 members. We made presentation and discussed about Meiland because we have already read, thought about, discussed in class and tested. However, it was very difficult because I forgot about the content of Meiland and I left my ELP reader in my house.
Presentation was very difficult. I had to speak in English but I must haven't read anything. I have to say not only body of the presentation but also say about my background and have a Q&A time. Usually, someone asked question and I had to answer then. It was very effective practice to speak English, but I couldn't feel comfortable this time. On the other hand, discussion was so exciting that the time for discussing was too short. Everyone had idea and there were many different opinion. It was helpful to understand about Meiland well.
We couldn't finish that practice, so we continue to practice P&D next class.
