Welcome to my vision!

Hi, all

Welcome to my vision!

This is the first time to make my own blog which is an another challenge to me.

Personally, I'm back to TC, Columbia University to finish my study.

This is very challenging decision to me, which I believe to go forward my vision.

Especially, I'm happy about coming here with my family (James, Thomas and my husband, Alex)

I hope this transition will be a wonderful experience to me and my family and happy to share with all of you.

  1. Comment of Indian Camp by Hemingway

    I’d like to share my feedback of reading the article of Indian camp, describing the characters depending on key words or sentences in the story.

    1. Nick
    : “ Nick did not watch. His curiosity had been gone for a long time.”
    “ He felt quite sure that he would never die.”
    - I think Nick, as a young boy, experienced much of reality during one night. And his curiosity has gone, observing Indian man’s death, Indian woman’s delivering the baby. It was a huge experience, both Birth and Death. Sometimes our curiosity is being kept till just before the truth, then, it just goes away or it makes us more matured and serious of the truth.

    2. Nick’s father
    : “No. I haven’t any anaesthetic,”
    “But her screams are not important. I don’t’ hear them because they are not important.”
    “He was feeling exalted and talkative as football players are in the dressing room after a game.”
    “all his post-operative exhilaration gone.”
    -I think he is representative as one of the professionals who has a lot of knowledge and experiences but no heart. Not hearing screams of the patients may be necessary to focus on the work, but Saying that is not important seems to be inhumane. But Indian man’s unexpected death made him realize that bringing his son to the camp was too much for the boy and come back to the identity as a father.

    3. Uncle George
    : “Uncle George was smoking a cigar in the dark.”
    “She bit Uncle George on the arm.”
    “the young Indian who had rowed Uncle George over laughed at him.”
    “The young Indian smiled reminiscently.”

    - He seems as a father of baby by smoking a cigar or Indian lady’s biting him, which could be a scene of delivering baby between husband and wife. Also by young Indian man’s laughing at Uncle George and smiling reminiscently, we can tell there is a story between Uncle George and the Indian woman and young Indian knows the story.

    4. Background
    “Uncle George was smoking a cigar in the dark.”
    “The sun was coming up over hills.”
    “It felt warm in the sharp chill of the morning.”
    -At the beginning of the story, there was darkness in the setting, but at the end of the story, the sun came up and it felts even warm. I think the story gets through the turnel, which could be called, ‘life and death’, and moves forward to the next step of life with positive hope.

    This kind of reading literature and reviewing them was a new experience to me and gave me some sense of connecting the ‘words’ or ‘sentences’ and ‘the understanding the whole story’.
