Irony

I have learned this topic about irony in my class previously. What is irony? Ahaa irony is the word come from the Ancient Greek. It means dissimulation or feigned ignorance. Still don’t understand right. Haha that’s what I got from one of the internet recourses. In more simple word, it is a statement or the situation where the meaning is opposite to the idea.

It’s like when you told people not to do that but later you the one who done it. It kinda funny and in the critical literacy it calls irony.

Okay I give you the example,

I hate to spend my money away

But I love shopping.

How irony

See how irony was that, I care on my financial but still I can’t stop myself from buying things.

Osiris and Isis

One of the scenes in the movie. Staring by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

A true and tested love story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra has draw my intention to know more about them after my lecture mention about the existence of their love. My gosh! It likes millions of differences between the two of them, yet they still found love in each other heart. Oh and you know what, it was a love at first sight. Later after that they got married and Antony gives a spectacular wedding present. He declared Cleopatra to be the Queen of the Kings and Caesarion the King of King. While fighting a battle against Romans, Antony got false news of Cleopatra death and he fell on his sword in the mean time when Cleopatra learned about Antony’s death she was shock as she took her own life :’( . like old saying, great love demands great sacrifices.

Maybe one day we all can watch the story of these two historical characters which has been dramatized by William Shakespeare.

Logical fallacies- emotion

A logical fallacy is one of the ways to convince people to trust on the conclusion or statement that we make. It sound logic but haha it was not logic and it was a false reasoning. A logical fallacy for emotion is an action in attempt to arouse the emotion of it audience in order to gain acceptance. Strong emotions can subvert rational thought, and playing upon emotions in an argument is often fallacious.

Example of false fallacies that use emotion is

· Scare tactics (one of my parent’s favorite way to control us)

è “Adik if you dint finish your homework, you cannot play PSP ” haha however eventually he will just play PSP.

· Flattery

è “Elle you look spectacular today, with your beauty, you can even replace Selena Gomez. Oh can I borrow your car, I’m sure you don’t mind right”

· Peer pressure

è “All of us is going the college trip to Italy, you should come to”

· Pity

è “I’m having difficult searching for my article for assignment number 2, I hope sir mark can make an exception for me to submit late” ha ha

Movie! I love movie

This one called ‘The Notebook’. It has a very interesting plot. The flow of the movie was very astonished. I have seen nothing like this movie before. The exposition was interesting, it introduce how they meet and soon after that they fall in love. They go crazy for each other. However their love was not been approve by Allie parents because of Noah was just laborer. They both were separated. However after the painful separation Noah has writes Allie 365 letters and she never receive any of them. After few years Noah picture was in a local newspaper and it catches Allie’s eyes….to be continued. You have to watch the movie if you want to know how it end. haha

Oh and the movie was staring by Ryan Gosling Rachael McAdams and if you would like to watch it, you can get the movie from me. Free of charge!

Euphemism vs Dysphemism

Euphemism vs Dysphemism

Generally Euphemism is use to make something sound more positive. However it also makes the word hide the truth. On the other hand, Dysphemism is the opposite of Euphemism. Hence word are depends on the contents itself, it shall not be judge by the perception of human who thought or see it as a foul word.
From the work that I have assigned to do, these are a few words of Euphemism and Dysphemism.
”Sins of the Father
A string of sex abuse scandals across Europe rock the Catholic Church and threatens to undermine Pope Benedict XVI “

Times magazine
• ‘A string’ in this article is meant to be dysphemistic and means ‘series’.
• ‘Sex abuse’ is a euphemistic word. It reference for ‘cruelty in sexual category’.
• ‘Scandals’ is a euphemistic word. It actually mean by a ‘disgrace attitude’.
• ‘Rock’ is dysphemistic word. It refers to ‘shock’.

Well folks if you look carefully each word that you read you will be able to distinguish whether it Euphemism or Dysphemism. It’s a fun thing to do. When you actually understand the real meaning hold by the word.
