Octomom vs. One-Child Policy

Today we wrote our thoughts about Octomom and One-Child Policy on sticky notes and posted them on the board. The average to the thinking was middle. I also Put mine at the middle of the board because I thought every moms has right to have as many as children they want to if they have enough money or source to raise them because it costs alot of money. They can save some money by wearing clothes that their brothers or sisters used to wear but the occuplets are all same age so it will cost much more than others. Also if I agree with the one-child policy, it will be also not fair to the moms who wants 2 or 3 children. So my conclusion is that between 1 to 4 children is best but when a mom give birth to like more than 6 or 7 I think the doctors need to give advice to them.

One-Child Policy

Today we discussed about 9-6-3 we did for homework. We read a story about One-Child Policy in China and wrote 9 things dicovered 6 things interesting and 3 question. Today we just dicussed in our small table groups. After the discussion, we wrote on a yellow piece of paper about the disagreement and agreement of the policy. I sticked mine right in the middle, because I cannot disagree or agree with it. Because, if there was no One-Child Policy and they let every married couple in China to have as many babies they want China's population will cover all over the world and there will be not enough sources and food to feed every people in China in the future. But it's also mean that they can have only one child and if they have more than one child the parents automatically lose their jobs. So I think they could find new policy that everyone likes.

Sonnet 7

I think that the Sonnet 7 means the sun rising and setting but also age and youth. Because when I heard and see what the musicians did today at class, Aidan was rising and setting and told us that they think it's sun rising and setting. Also at first only some of them started but when Aidan was in the middle they were all doing loudly together. When Aidan was going down they started to be quiet.




Lo! in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye

On this two lines I think it's the rising sun if I read carefully the thick letters.
Burning head=the sun.





Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,

It could be the sun and it's noon because 'middle age' can be the sun on the middle of the sky.





From his low tract, and look another way:
So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon

I think it means that the sun is setting. Because I think the another way means that it's looking at West where it sets.



I think that William Shakespeare spoke figuratively to life of a person to the sun.
When son rise you are young when sun sets you are old. So I think this poem is very hard however, also very interesting.

Sonnet 7

Lo! in the orient when the gracious light

Lifts up his burning head, each under eye

Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,

Serving with looks his sacred majesty;

And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,

Resembling strong youth in his middle age,

Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,

Attending on his golden pilgrimage:

But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,

Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,

The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are

From his low tract, and look another way:

So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon

Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.
