Do you think the reference to Singapore as a 'diamond city' is apt?
Why or why not?How would you describe your feelings towards singapore ,using imagery you feel suitable<.2 imagerys>
1)I think that Singapore known as a "diamond city of trees" , as it is a country which sells everything very expensively and it also refers to the skyscrapers that singapore has.Its a young country which is soaring .Even though it is a small country it is a rich country on its own .
Firstly,i think that singapore can be describe as an eagle because it is brave and doomineering for example like NEWater,singapore was the one who built advance in recycling the usage of water making it clean and reusable when the contract between singapore and malaysia has finished we can start using NEWater and also it brings our home name up.
Secondly,i think that singapore can be like a flower because from a small and helpless country it has now bloom till it grew strong and fertile and now it is also prospering and still a young nation which has been improving itself with an asset community that can give further benefit to singapore,a flower blooms when water is feed to it and singapore's 'feeding' is from other countries being in business deal with them for example from LAS VEGAS making casinos.
"With great grandness my uncle ordered orange drinks from the waiter.He criticized the glasses as dirty when the drinks arrived and insisted on new ones......I keep buying him the orange drinks he swallowed with such relish".
Why do you think her uncle behaves in this manner?Do you feel sorry for him or do you regard him with distaste2) Her uncle behaves like a small kid and was being bossy and arrogant because ,he doesnt always get to do that whenever he lives in his normal life.As they are not rich they dont always go to such expensive place,much less a hotel that is only for foreigners.He shows that he is rather greedy for buying several cups of orange juice even though it taste the same and it isnt dirty,for me,I regard him with distaste because he isnt the type whom we should feel sorry for because of his egoness that he put up at the hotel.
3)It is contradicting as she was both sided ,it means she still believes her father words even though she knew the truth.Even though the writer knew that whatever she saw was somewhat different from the so call "heaven" in her father eyes,she was still eager to hear he fathers side of the story which took place more than a decade ago,when they were young,her father didnt left singapore while her uncle did and her uncle suffered terribly.
-contradiction-A denial.
4) In the first paragraph,the author is trying to say that a country that is as good as its men,it means how good a country is depends on their mans,if a country has internal conflict ,it means that the country doenst have peace hence,the country is not going to be safe and prosperous,but for a country like singapore it is a safe fast pacing country which will prosper because of the peace that they have and they have good government to handle them.I can say that the father is a very good man because he gives his brother monthly a sum of money to repay her brothers kind effort but sad to say,her father is also defiant as he left his family and didnt returned home to China but in short I think that his a good man.I think that China shoudnt claim him back because SIngapore has given him alot of open opprtunities for a job,housing and healthcare.Even though he belongs there,I think that he has the right to choose his path.
