Reflection 7


  Recently my class had to read a book "Cadide". Some of us didn't have to read it because we already discussed it in secondary school with mr muszyński and I was one of those people. Unfortunately I didn't read it back then so I had to do it recently. This made me think about our attitude to things that we are somehow forced to do. I mean as far as I remember I couldn't read this book earlier because it was incredibly boring and I didn't like the language it was written by but maybe I also felt like this because it was obligatory. A lot of students don't even start or don't finish their books and I think it is partly connected with the fact that they have to do ut. Even for me-a person who likes reading it is sometimes hard to get through those books and this is certainly caused by my attitude to them. I think this is a huge problem because then we might be less keen on reading outside of school.

  1. Maybe the blame should be put on the choice of books. 'Candide' does indeed sound a bit old. Even in my school days we found the language a little hard to cope with. On the other hand, it's a classic so every educated person ...

Living off the land of Hawaii

  Nowadays we're dependent on big industries and I think that it's a problem. Usually we have to buy food that shops provides us but it's getting less healthy because it's mass grown and polluted by dangerous chemicals. Whereas, if it's organic, it's usually more expensive. This video shows that there're still people who provides food for themselves by hunting or growing it. For some it may seem primitive but I think that it's better for the environment, healthier for us and also cheapier. words: remote place, descendant, self-sufficiency People usually don't live in remote areas. Children aren't self-suffient because they're dependent on their parents. After king's death his descendant inherits the crown. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXEepvG6Hc&pbjreload=10

Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring

A Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It might be as popular for the same reason as Mona Lisa which is the mysterious look that impresses viewers and the history hidden beneath it. Although this technique is very painstaking and time-consuming, the smoothness of brush strokes makes a unique character to the woman's face which is innocent and simple. The lighting has also a big impact on its atmosphere. It highlights most important elements and draw viewer's eyes. Words: indeterminate, to gaze, painstaking Some paintings have  indeterminate  meaning. You should be  painstaking  to do your job properly. I was  gazing  out of the window while travelling by train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-jLsoA1i_o

How to recognize Italian Ranaissance?

  To recognize renaissance in general you have to know its features. Firstly, artists started to admire human body for its anatomy and proportion and therefore, focused on naturalism. They also didn't concentrate on frontality but tried to put people in complex poses from many points of view which helped in expressing emotions. It was the first time when background of a painting was so important and the perspective and atmosphere were included (the way of blurring shapes and colours to make it less intense so that it looks like it's far away.). The revival of plants starts in spring. God is meant to have the eternal life. In the Bible a dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YiL9MNyGKE
