8th week (5/31~6/6)

About 2 months have passed since we entered ICU.
I feel time passed very fast, but if I look back I feel the entrance cermony was long time ago story. May be this 2 months was thick.

This week, we reviewed argumentation and started discussing about TOMAT.

*Argumantation*
I really thank Susan teaching us very detail about argumentation.
Fallacies, syllogism, and assumption were complicated, but I think Icould understand them.
However, I still worry whether I can write argumantative writing by using or not using those skills.

*TOMAT*
I read TOMAT twice (actually, 2nd time was just skimming).
When I read first time, I couldn't grasp the image of the story. I couldn't picture each scenes in my head and I thought it was little bit boring.
However, when I read 2nd time, my image got clear and I started understanding the depth of the story.
I started to think about old man's feeling or what author want to say.
In first time, I think I was not in the story.

I heard that there are many symbolic expressions in TOMAT.
However, I can find few of them.
Did you found any of them?

And also, I thought it is important to concern about the story relating with about author.

That reminds me-
I saw a picture of Hemingway when he was young. He was handsome guy!;)
You should check it.lol

This is all for today.
Thank you for reading:)
