It was incredibly superb that the store which sells toys finally opened with a one day sale that no other store in this small town would ever have since I since into town with my parents because my parents wanted to have a job here and because of that I had to familiarize myself with the environment which is quite weird as compared to the environment I faced last time so I think I am lucky enough to have the store opened since the store is filled with very cheap toys that I really like and if I saved enough money I could buy at least some toys for me to play after school and I could also compare them with my friends’ toys since they have toys and I do not and I would not feel sad about how little toys I have.

Online Lesson # 9

1) He is describing the long guns to be cannons on ships.

2) The Jackies in the poem are probably people who are in charge of the cannons in the ship. They were singing war chanties to celebrate the death of the enemies.

3) The shovel will finish the job of what the gun did.

4) The significance of the title is to show the citizens and soldiers are just tools to contribute towards the war effort.

5) The effect of the contrasting actions shows that war is repetitive and pointless because it causes destruction to the work created. The persona’s attitude towards the soldiers and workmen is that they are endless working tools towards war.

6) The harder part is to build a society back up again rather than bringing it down., such as the case of World War 2, Japan was the cause of World War 2 and caused much destruction in its path, but the America’s bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused many deaths and a huge amount of destruction, which eventually led to the end of World War 2. Many countries took a long time to rebuild after Japan’s attacks, and caused many problems, such as Singapore taking 15 years to recover while the Japanese only arrived for 3 years. Therefore the harder part is to build a society back up again.

7) Deaths are becoming quicker and more silent, the drum of hoofs change into motors running, showing the changes of sounds heard during war, and the future wars are silent, deadly, showing the change from men to machines, the sound of wheels and the loss of war cries.

8) Gaddafi has been kicked under the dust recently, and the citizens follow their own cause,showing the change from leadership to democracy.

Same-sex marriage.

I do not think that same-sex marriage will become legal in Singapore.
Some examples why the government would not legalize same-sex marriage is because of the low fertility rate in Singapore. Having an all-time low of <1.5 fertility rate, Singapore needs to have more younger generations. High literacy rates are one of the reasons resulting in low fertility rate, so what high literacy rates, people would think that same-sex marriage are naturally wrong and should not be legalized, and since people were not planning to even marry people of the opposite sex why would they marry people of the same-sex? Having problems like this would high literacy rates would put Singapore into a shock state when same-sex marriage are legalized because Singaporeans do not have high birth rates nor marriage rates, so having same-sex marriage legalized, the rates would be low and it would be useless to have it legalized then. Also by having same-sex marriage legalized, there would be a difference in the number of people available for marriage in one sex or the other, causing an unbalance. Another example would be that Singaporeans would not be supporting the idea of same-sex marriage because of them complaining over foreigners coming to Singapore already. By having those complains, Singaporeans would not be tolerant against same-sex marriage because of the influence it might bring to the younger generations or investors coming into Singapore. Furthermore, some religion considered same-sex marriage as a sin and Singapore is a multi-racial country, there would be other people from other religion and they would probably show discrimination against people who are involved in same-sex marriage, causing in prejudice between religion, mistrust and hate between people in the society and the government would mostly not legalize same-sex marriage in Singapore because of the likeliness of riots happening again, mostly between religion when people of a religion is involved with same-sex marriage and thus people of their religion would be against the government for legalizing same-sex marriage thus I feel that same-sex marriage will not become legal in Singapore unlike the rest of the government did 6 other states in America.
