General analysis on the short stories

story one "The new dress"
The new dress is about a women who has withdrawn into herself and is so self concias about her surroundings that she reacts in a paranoid way. Mabel Waring has a low self esteem mainly because of the short comings in her life and that of her family. this we are made aware of when she mentions that she never really got to marry the rich sultan she had wished for but had married an average man who had to work for a living. when Mabel Waring is invited to the party she decides to design a dress which she first finds beautiful in the setting of the workers humble working room or home however when she arrives at the grand ball she feels ridicules and ugly. the reader is given the impression that Mabel's perspective can not be trusted that all of this is in her head and that the is nothing wrong with her appearance and that the problem is within her. Mabel thinks that everybody is somehow looking down upon her and that everyone is better than her. this is emphasised when she compares herself with a fly trying to crawl out of a soccer of milk and sees everyone as a dragonfly. her sense of inferiority is such that even when she trys to imagine everyone as flays she cant achieve it. she lives the parting with the thought of accidentally finding a motivational book and being transform. how ever the reader understands that this is highly unlikely and that her life is a vicias cycle and she is not likely to change. Mabel Waring's sense of inferiority is such that she can never transform herself. the writer deliberately creates a strong contrusts between the the protagonist and setting to illustrate the core of Mabel's internal conflict. Mabel as a character never develops and the story ends with the unlikely notion of her transformation. looking at the plot Mabel wheres a dress to a party and lives in shame because she feels that she is ridicules and that everyone is aware of how preposterous she looks.

The worlds language

this essay will explore how Akpome in his article "The politics of language" examines how inadicute english exposure during the early stages of a students educational life leds to the pupil bieng anable to cope and compete with other students from abroad. the essay will look clously  at how south africas history has actualy led to the relactance towards the language and how this is cripling the students and leding to adrop in the entry requrements in higher education.

Arkpome illustrates that he understands that embracing the language of the oppresor is not easy hance he says he does not mean to "over simplifiey a complex situation". however he feels that south africsns should "deal with the issue with pregmatisim". they should be realistic to the fact that english is the ligua franca of politics of business and of education. what he is ephesizing is that english is the global language in use and that if messures are not taken to adapt to that fact, south africa will be an incompetent country.

the auther does not say that south africans should abanden their home language but rader that they should learn them simultaneously with english. he further illustrates thatdespite the fact that students are tought in their mother tougue they still do not seem to improve.his agument is that our local languages are not well developed and that it is impractical for the country to deny its children the chance to learn tghe language which as he illustrates is the dominant language at usage internatianaly.

Symbolism

Symbolism in “The suit”

The suit is the obvious symbol it symbolises Matilda’s infidelity. It also symbolises the lover. But this symbolism of the suit being the lover is created through Philemon’s cruel and unrelenting punishment. He torments his wife by constantly reminding her of what she has done in a form of making the suit a visitor she has to care for. This suit symbolises her shameful acts and she has to live with them day in day out. The suit anywhere else is just a suit but because it is used differently in this story it is symbolic.

The second symbol is the candlewick bed spread. It is mentioned twice intentionally as a symbol of personal space familiar to Philemon, his territory notice how he notices it every time he is in the bed room. The second time around it is ruffled this means it has been tempered with it has been disturbed. He sees it this way because in essence it is not the candlewick bedspread he sees it as the violation of his private space as an invasion of his territory. Which probably explains why he behaves like an animal in his execution she has done this wicked thing in his lair. The emphasis on the candlewick bedspread also symbolises territorial imperative. Looking at things in the animalistic way the alpha male is the one who owns the territory and he marks his territory to show a form of authority of ownership. The candlewick spread is a symbol of the mark he has on his territory. His authority is violated when she brings another male in his den. He feels justified in his actions because both the house and the women belong to him and both have been violated.

The religious reference is also another symbol. It symbolises heavenly judgment the constant idea of God judging Matilda. Not only has she done this wicked thing to him but she has also wronged God this content judgement on her from above is further emphasised when she passes by the church taking the suit for a stroll and feels daggers on her skin. The fact that the is a constant religious references through the prayer, the fact that he has never drank and in their conversation symbolises the constant presence of God and Godliness which moves away as soon as she commits adultery symbolises God moving his cover from her and from their household or radar their marriage. This is seen through all these things being reversed, he was not drinking after what she does he starts drinking. The grace was shared at meal time and they no longer pray after she brings ‘their visitor’.

THE WORDS LANGUAGE

This essay will explore how bill Bryson in his article "the words language" uses hummer and a conversational tone to illustrate why he says English is the universal language. it will also look at how other languages have words that English cannot compare to and the concept of borrowing from other languages.

Bill Bryson is saying that English is fast becoming the universal language despite the fact there are still those who cannot speak the language properly. He substantiates this by mentioning that even countries such as France who due to the war against english encrochment were not likely to speak the language are now communicating in English. To emphasise his point he goes on further to say that the language is so broadly spread that there are more English students in china than there are people in the United States.

 English is the one language with a vast command of words. To ague this further he explains that  English has borrowed a lot of words from other languages so that it can express a sentiment he uses word the reader is familiar with such as the borrowed word macho. He argues that English is the most versatile language and the most easily spelt one. This may be said to substantiate the fact that it is easier to learn which he mentions in his article.

He uses hummer to bring across his message that English is the most developed language. This is done throughout the entire article. He mentions that Gaelic has words that are so outrageously spelt that one is given the illusion that the spelling and punctuation was devised by separate communities, meeting in separate rooms. He mentions how the Italians have gross or radar disgusting names for food and how the Arabs are said to have 6000 words for camels and Carmel equipment!

The text is written in a conversational tone. This is illustrated when he states that the residents of the Trobriand Islands of Papua New Guinea have 100 words for dug and then further says "don't ask me why" as if he were talking directly to the reader. The writer uses a conversational tone to make the reader familiarise with the text to bring across hummer and to invite the reader into the text by using everyday language which the reader is familiar with.

Bryson ague's that other languages lack the command and versatility that English has by saying that the Eskimos despite having fifty types of words for types of snow they do not have a word for snow. He further substantiates this by saying that English is the only language were you can roam with considerable freedom between passive and active senses. This is illustrated when he says that you can say "I kicked the dog" "or the dog was kicked by me"

The writer brings to surface the fact that the British and the Americans are drifting apart. That in the future they may not be able to understand each other. He then says that even though they will confuse each they won’t confuse the word as there has been a lot of borrowing from the language.

He argues that English is fast becoming the language in use globally. He states English has become 'the ligua franca of business, since, education, politics and pop music.

ESSAY WRITING PART ONE TEST REVIESION

The story of an hour

This essay will explore how Kate Chopin uses characterisation, narrative point of view and setting in her story "the story of an hour” to portray Mrs Millard’s internal conflict and develop the story bringing across a certain message about the convictions of society imposed on women during the time the story was written.

Characterisation is the process of developing a character. In literature we have a dynamic and static character a dynamic one is usually the one who develops because he or she changes. It is safe to argue that Mrs Millard is a dynamic protagonist who has a conflict within herself and even her fate. This is illustrated through the event of her husbands supposed death and how she reacts towards it. When the writer explains that she has heart trouble the reader is able to predict that she will moan the husbands passing. However the reader is made were of her internal conflict through her development. The text first describes her as fail with lines that bespoke repression. The lines on her fair face tell us that she is young but with wrinkles and wrinkles on a young person mean that she is troubled and these things she pounders upon have probably led to the first outbreak hence there is knowledge of her heart problem. Chopin then develops the protagonist by fader explaining that she had certain strength. This is seen when after she reacts as society would expect her to by crying when she is told of her husband’s passing she then locks herself up in a room and starts to look at her possibilities. If one were to study the context of the story it is written in a time when women were so dependent on men. the expected reaction would be to ponder on thoughts about an inability to cope without the husband but Mrs Millard does not confirm to the norms of society she develops into a strong resilient character though her internal conflict. One would argue that the conflict is between her and society however the conflict is between her and the ways of society. she does not publicly fight back the convictions she abides by them hence she marries and her sister knows nothing of the conflict because it is something she keep to herself and also because she is also far convicted in the ways that life should be that she does not since that her sister may want something different from life. At this stage she is still a static character she is the same until she gives rein to the concept of freedom. Here the reader learns that she did not love the husband as well as she should and that she is relived by his death. The point in which she acts different from what is expected shows an element of change of conflict which is eternal. She is a duelled character whose different sides are at conflict she has to abide but she does not want to. When she does finally give in to change she develops which is the key element of characterisation

Narrative point of view is all about who is telling the story. In the story of an hour we have a limited third person point of view as the narrator only has excess to Mrs Mallard’s thoughts and emotions. this narrator is close to the character to an extent that it gives the text a first person narrative as if it were telling the story from Mrs mallards eye view this is shown in the constant way the narrator defends the way she thinks "she had loved him often she had not then the narrator goes on to say what did it matter anyway. First person narrative is always trying to make justifications for its actions this is why we are given the illusion that this story is told from Mrs Mallards eye view. This is essential to illustrate the conflict she has with herself. the reader needs to have access to Mrs mallards thoughts and emotions to can understand that she does not wish to confirm to the norms of society that she does not react differently to her husband’s death because of spite but because she longs for something outside of what she is living. It is like wanting to live a city life when the city is not yet in existence. Luise wanted to live the twenty first life during a time when such a lifestyle was unknown. It justifies the toll this had on her heart and the fact that her sister does not know of her conflict. Most third person narrators are all knowing. In this story the narrator knows that this is the wrong way to think, that Mrs Millard’s does not confirm to the norms of society and that everyone thinks she died of joy that kills. this irony is the to emphasise a point that the conflict was unknown because it would be close to abnormal to think like that hence the  narrator tells the story in a way that tell us that the sister is unaware of what is going on. The writer use a third person narrator because it gives her the chance to step back and give both point views in the story unhampered. These points of view which are the views of society that a women should be dependent on a man depicted through Josephine and Richards and their reaction through trying to break the news to her in a delicate manner showing that they think that losing a husband is too tragic more especially for a woman like her. Then we are showed the other side through the protagonist’s thoughts and emotions which are given more credibility because they are told from a third person narrator. it could be that the Copan’s is trying to convict the audience the story is original written for that women should not be treated like the property of men and that they also do have thoughts of their own and do not all which to live for marriage. It could be that she uses a third person narrator and kills the character so as to not publicly create the impression that she is fighting the norms of society which is intelligent considering what happened during the apartheid era. All those who publicly declared their rebellion to the ways of society paid a heavy penalty. She probably opted for a third person narrative to make it seem like she was talking about somebody else’s thoughts while she was bringing into surface her own thoughts and emotions.

 

Time to move to the next level

things are moving at a fast pace. I feel it is time I did something constructive. its not going to be easy but I think its worth it. Dreams, such things can bring forth such ungovernable agony in ones life. have I considered the fact that it may not go my way that I may not achieve this? I have. lord it has been all I have been pounding upon since I decide to follow this dream.

I dream all the time of things such as colliding with darkness and infusing the word with light so that they can see the hope which is the Lord. A wise man once said it is better to light the candle than to coarse the darkness. do I fear the dark? I don't in actual fact I am a night person it is what is in the void that I should fear but I don't know if I do. Lets go back to that dream shall we I desire to bring forth everything to the light so that it may be exposed. I want to bring to the people THE LOVE OF GOD by making them know this God who is the only God. as a writer I can advance towards this dream and trust me I will 

test reflection

In writing the test I felt that some questions were blurry and unclear. I straggled consistently on the marching pairs questions especially the teacher conceptual frame work question. I felt that I did not have sufficient knowledge regarding certain concepts an example would be the question on computer storage sources. I was not exposed to computers untill I qualified to be a university student. Despite the fact that I was familiar with most of the terms as I am an avid reader I could not possibly have obtained knowledge regarding which storage source came first or had greater mass storage. I felt marginalised as I was working with something I would never have been able to afford. However I feel that the university is doing a lot to assist me in improving my computer skills directly and indirectly. I felt that the format of questioning did not assess ones competency with computers.

I will however look on the expects I did not do well in which is basically excel I am a word person figures are frustrating for me but if i was able to get 68% on Maths I feel with great effort and hard work I can be able to transform the 46% mark into a good mark. This blog is my study realm and I know by blogging and taking note of my modules and task I will develop great computer skills. I feel that competency in this subject is through authentic learning and I am willing to get down and dirty. I will not capitulate that inferior mark will not determine my future not by a long shot.

history of education

definition of education

Education is any form of instruction whether  formal or informally used to impart knowledge or a skill. It is any activity used to teach, instruct or pass on knowledge.

Important expects of education

Intention- Education is not something which is done for the fun of it. it is men to impart certain skills and knowledge. it is goal driven and serves a purpose. which is to educate.

Environment- Education cannot exist on its own and is entirely dependent on the environment. we educate indirectly by means of the environment.whether we permit chance environment to do the work and whether we design the environment makes a huge difference.

Physical environment- the way the room looks the lighting the arrangement of furniture will influence how we feel about the lesson. in turn our social relationships will influence how we view these things

Commitment- those who educate do not act in a value free way. they commit themselves to the task at hand regadless of were it takes place. education must be infomed by certainm principles and values.

Educatin vs Indocrenation

E ducation as opposed to indorenation is aimed at or comits to:
promotion of well bieng
trueth
democracy
fairness and equality

A school- IS A BUILDING WHERE KNOWLEDGE IS TRASFERED FROM THE TEACHER TO THE LEARNER.

DEMAND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

Demand is made up of those who what to travel those who might travel and those who just are not interested in travel. demand is the travel generating region.

determinants of demand

demographics; household size, age of children etc.
disposable income
mobility; ability to move aroud freely e.g own private car
government regulations; visas
socio cultural factors; trends
competitive prices
geographical factors;climate, urban /rural

Maslow hierarchy of needs

self actualisation
self esteem
love and belonging
safety
physiological

ELEMENTS OF DEMAND

Effective/actual demand-the ones who travel and use tourism facielities
supressed demand-do not takke part for some other reason
no demand-they simply dont whant to travel
potential demand-motivated but have no time or finances to support travel have potential of being part of the effective demand.
deferred demand-lack motivation usualy have problem with the supply side of things

 

tools to guided reflection

authentic learning

authentic learning is the way to go and I can prove it! We all know one learns best when motivated to learn and what better way to attain this motivation than to do what you love to be involved in the process of making it happen then to be told what is supposed to happen. innovation is one of the key expects of authentic learning so you better start getting your hands dirty doing something so that you can learn it radder than hearing about how you can learn  it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            DO  DO YOU HAVE AN ON LINE IDENTITY? Well if you don't better start creating one but be carefull not to post things that Will tarnish your reputation and completely ruin you in every expect of tour life. social media can be so much fun its limitless you can Brag, find yourself Prince charming however beware of the frog thing. You know expecting man to turn to our image of expectancy can be disastrous and worst of all the one on his or her profile picture may not be the one you are chatting with. put that in mind before meeting him in his own territory at his own terms you may not make it out alive.

the teacher as a reflective practitioner

As a teacher you need to constantly reflect on your practise. You must reflect in practise, on practise, and for practise. you need to be aware of the fact that no two lessons can be the same when you reflect in practise you are constantly engaged in this self talk were you assess the lesson you see weather or not they understand you. during this reflection process you note they are not getting you what can you do to reach them what other way can you  explain this content or topic so that they can get your point. when reflecting on practise you look back on the lesson "what happened?" "what can I improve?" "what went well?" you consistently give yourself feedback on the lesson so that you can improve. reflection for practise is looking ahead "what could go wrong?" "what should I prepare"? "what if this does not work"? this helps you to anticipate what the lesson may entail what could be a treat and misconceptions the students may have on the topic.
What you need to know

• content knowledge
• pedagogical knowledge
• curriculum knowledge
• pedagogical content knowledge
• knowledge of learners
• knowledge of educational contexts
• knowledge of educational ends, purposes and values

content knowledge is subject knowlage

this is specific subject knowledge when you know your maths your tourism you can answer most subject related questions.

pedagogical knowledge means knowledge of how to teach

the are a lot of people who know something but cannot explain it to others in fact their explanations live you more confused then before a person with pedagogical knowledge knows how to teach so he or she is understood.

 a curriculum reafers to the teaching and learning and learning activities and experiences which are provided by schools.

this is alist of everything the deparment whants teachers to teach learners.

knowlage of the people whom you are to teach.

this includes their learning abilities their background things that may come in the way of teaching such as cultural delimas and learning disabilities.

knowlage of educational context is all about awerenes of the available resources

this  also about the policies of the school the resources and facilities avalable.
