Distribution of Water

The water cycle is a process that recycles water and nutrients. It’s the endless exchange of water between land and water-bodies.

This Process starts when water from various areas like oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, puddles evaporates and goes to the sky and form clouds while being cooled. 

Once clouds are filled with water, precipitation develop, and waters comes back in form of rain, ice, sleet or snow. And since now two things can take effect: Water could become part of the ground, flowing into oceans or lakes by rivers and streams. Or it could go back up to the atmosphere and the cycle restart.

It’s very important for this to happen  because it deliver fresh water to every living being. Approximately 97 percent of the amount of water on earth  is stored in the oceans, and just a bite of the remaining 3 percent is usable as  freshwater. So if we change  the common  amount of water that go into ocean and lakes, the consequences could be a decrease in the volume of water that filtrates into the ground.

"Lion Heart"

Here I live an essay about how Amanda Chong conveys a sense of admiration on the poem "Lion Heart". 

In  this essay I am going to talk about how Amanda Chong conveys a sense of pride toward his country Singapore over the poem “Lion Heart”. Over the poem she talks about the Merlion, this is the mythical creator of Singapore. I personally believe that she conveys the sense of admiration by describing the Merlion as the most magnificent being in history.

In the first line of the first stanza when she said” you came out of the sea” show me that she has admiration to him because I commonly used “you” on this context to talk about someone that I feel is superior. Also on the second line “out of the sea,/ skin dappled in scales of sunlight” refers that Singapore is a city created by the sea and how Singapore emerged from the ocean as well as the Merlion. she Also conveys a sense of admiration using literary devices.

“In Crackling boats, seeds arrived, wind-blown,/ you summoned their colors to the palm /of your hand…” this brings up the idea of the new habitants of the city and how they abundantly became more and more, saying how fast the city has grown up.

In the stanza number five, we can see that the city has grown a lot over centuries. Stanzas 6-7-8 refer to how the Singaporean people  is forgetting their own origins and also forgetting the Merlion actions in the country, how he create it and the culture he have to them, also on the last line of the last stanza “ Five stars in the red tapestry of your sky” refer to the Singapore flag  and is a call for them to look to their country in all that they do. This last stanza conveys a sense of admiration for me because it is in a very patriotic way like here in Argentina when we said: “Argentinian Republic”.

To conclude the poem is too patriotic. In my opinion is good to be patriotic and have love for your own country and origins, but too much sometimes gets as a selfish person to me, this may be the result of the not so much love I have to my own country and how the other cultures invade our by the new technologies and the fast access we have to cultures in other countries. 

Your Absence

In class, we make a poem with the topic of someone we have lost. Also, we have to create a mythological creature that protect us. Here is my poem.

      

     Your Absence 

Over the years I had you

Your death was not an option,

Everyday with you near me

Like a leaf and a tree.

A difficult process your absence.

You are not at home

You are not at dinner.

But now you will never be on earth anymore.

Ademia and Adelphe  my companions on this new life,

they are my last chance to have a happy life.

At home sad, but happy for you do not suffer anymore.

Besides, sadness embraces our hearts.

Now three at home

And your chair is going to be empty forever.

Anyone will replace you.

Ademia and Adelphe will always  going to protect me.

Now with them I am going to be safe.
