I'd like to talk about my passion in my life.
Let's beggin by wich one is my passion.
I think I don't have a concret passion that I can talk about but is a mix of things. Starting for the things that I see interesting, subjects that I can like as maths for and example but I think the things that give me more passion or motivation to do my responsabilities is my future, because my future depends on me, I need tu study if I want to work, and have free time in the day, because if I don't study is less the possibility that I could work less hours and have free time to spend with people I like.

Starting the chapter fourteen there is a text of Sy Mao, that tries to make reference to something with the rice.
It starts saying help your rise to rice properly. With this frase he uses a game of words to say that you have to help to grow up your children correctly. And in all the text using the word rice to make refference to children.
Then, the text talks about that growing rice will need patience, care and a tremendous amount of work. That is right, because you cannot think that your child will be grow up fastly, it takes a lot of time and you need to look for them everywhere, you cannot just leave them alone.
And in another paragraph it says the secret to growing rice is providing the proper enviroment. This phrase capt my attention, and I think that is the most important, because you're education won't worth if you leave him in a bad enviroment with bad people and friends, because the will take influence of that.
In conclusion, you must be prepared to have children with patience and responsability before having theme.

2-"You should listen to your parents and your teachers. They have experience and can show the ropes"

About this affirmation, for me is true but not at 100%. Because people ho have experience can support you with some things, but for some not. Bexause having expierence is not a sinonime of knowing all. They have to know that with the time the things change, especially when there are generations of difference

And the another point is that the support that they can give us musn`t be an opinion. Because they don't have to influence us when we have to make decisions. We have to make our experience.

In conclusion we have to hear them but not all the things they say.

In conclusion in these two chapters "the cow" talks about that she used to be called teacher because she was one. And they crticize her because if she is a teacher why she lives in the dump. And in cap 6 talks about the "aprehension" of Ki and Nissay. In other words, they are worried about the future of the things that are unknown

1.Look up the difference in meanings between the words empathize and sympathize. Why does the author choose these two words?
The author uses these 2 words because he tries to tell us that they can sympathize but not empathize, in other words that means, that people feel sorry of him, but they can’t understand what is he feeling.

2.  Is the poem optimistic or pessimistic? Find evidence for your answer.
I think is pessimistic because he is always talking about how bad he feels.
"They try, but don't understand
As to why I can't stand to stand
Under my own thoughts
'Cause my thoughts hunt me"
But sometimes the author talks about that there are opportunities and sometimes is not allways. And that shows that have some parts optimistic

3.  Who is the speaker talking to? Is the speaker’s gender revealed? Why?
The speaker is talking to all, who are reading the poem. The speaker gender is not revealed as the poem was made for everyone who can understand or feel what the author tries to show.

4. The author resorts to a game of words when he mentions the adverbs ‘always’ and ‘sometimes? What message does he want to convey?
He tries to say that saying always is not always. We use that when we have to use sometimes. In other words, we victimize us

5)  a) Literary devices are techniques that writers use to express their ideas and enhance their writing. Literary devices highlight important concepts in a text, strengthen the narrative, and help readers connect to the characters and themes.
Pathos: language that appeals to the emotions.
Metaphors: saying that one thing is another thing to make a comparison. This technique can make abstract ideas more meaningful to the audience.
Alliteration: repeating particular sounds in words. This technique can make words much more memorable.
Tricolon: grouping things in three. Politicians use this technique a lot.
Antithesis: placing two opposite ideas next to each other to create contrast.
Chiasmus: echoing the first clause in a second clause but with the order of important words reversed: ‘It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.’
b) Find examples of figures of speech or literary techniques the author uses in the poem. Explain their significance.
Pathos: “I’m sorry that you suffer ‘cause I suffer and I suffer.”
Metaphors: “I cut my wrists, buy my mom bleeds”
Alliteration: “They sympathize, but can’t empathize”
Tricolon: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry”
Antithesis: “I try to get better as I continue to suffer”
Chiasmus: “I’m sorry that you suffer ‘cause I suffer and I suffer”
