I have always been an absent-minded person. Whenever people warn me about something that i need to be careful of, I always ignore it. The tragedy came one time, and i could never forget it, the most dilemmatic moment i have faced.
That day, i carried my cellphone to the toilet as usual, it's a new one, and I bring it everywhere I go.
My mom always warns me of not putting the cellphone in the pocket, it might fall out; however i never listen to her. I went into the toilet, do the "initial steps" in the bathroom. Just about the moment i was going to squat down. And i was thinking in my mind: "oh! My cellphone is in my pocket!" , the tragedy happened. I heard the sound of splash beneath me. I wasn't that panic at the moment because i dropped the money in the toilet for a couple times, it was no big deal to me. But when i looked down, and felt the pocket lightened, I knew I'm in trouble. I started screaming. Oh my god! It's my cellphone sinking! It's new! It's not waterproof! I need to save it! Here comes the dilemma, the water was kind of dirty, although i haven't done the "toilet action". What if the person went into this toilet was doing the "big deal", what if she had a diarrhea? God, I can't stop imagining how dirty is the toilet. But that is my cellphone inside. The more time i spend in thinking about picking it up or not, the fewer chances will it be still usable.
I've made up my mind, i closed my eyes, and put my hand into the cold water. My hands were shaking, trying to reach my cellphone. I can feel the cool and wet touching of the water, that feeling went through my finger tip to my wrist. How can the toilet be so deep? As i reached my cellphone, i tried to stress my fingers to grab it, but it slipped. Almost all of the swear words came into my mind, I condemned myself of doing this stupid thing. I tried again, holding it tight in my hand.
The screen was black, i think it has shut down because of the water. I walked to the faucet, wondering if i should wash my hand, and also wash my cellphone. It's will be wet again! But it's dirty! "Nah!Screw it! It's wet already and it will work if it's not broken, I'm going to wash it anyway!" That is what i was thinking. So i washed it and i washed my hands, totally forgot the main purpose that caused this tragedy. I guess my urine has evaporated when the cellphone dropped.
I went out of the bathroom, and saw my friends playing with their cellphone, and told me "Hey! I heard someone screaming in the toilet, did you hear that?" "Um, yes...?" I showed them my cellphone after taking a nice shower, and they all started laughing at me, asking if I'm going to call my mom with it. What a beautiful day with my awesome friends!
My cellphone, of course, is destined to be a sleeping beauty for the rest of it's life. And I will never ever bring a cellphone with me into the bathroom again, since this experience is so remarkable. And I would never say that I've made the right decision in the dilemma, none of them are good!

description ver2 : If i can video down every moment
Meiti Riverside Park is probably the most beautiful place I went near Soochow University. It's near the Miramar mall. We went there in almost the evening. We were sitting on the soft green grass, staring at the tranquil river. My friend and I were having a casual chat. Neither of us was looking at each other. As we talk, I can smell the refreshing fragrance of the grass carried by the gentle breeze, not a strong wind. The warm breeze was like the soft fondle of the mother earth.The feeling went through my hair;I enjoy the touch and I enjoyed the smell.
"Ring ring!" the sound of the bicycle passed by. Little kids with their helmet, moving their legs in a very fast speed (as they thought they were) I could hear the crackle of the wheels rotating on the road. They want to catch up with the adults in front of them. “Too eager for growing up" I thought in my mind." "Hey! Wait! Ride slowly!" The worried parents behind the kids were shouting at them. Maybe that's exactly how parents are, they are always watching at the rear of the children, not expecting them to turn back because they have their dream to pursue. You just have to let them go. "Ring ring!" This time is the special bike that was designed for two people to ride together. There was an old couple riding the bike. They don't have much expression on their faces, but I admired their peaceful atmosphere. Seeing lots of young couple breaking up, I wonder how they maintain their sweet taste of life for such a long time.
Staring at the beautiful river, it was amazingly attractive. The golden orange sunshine reflected on the surface of the river, it shimmered beneath the sunset. It's not yet the time that the night falls, but who has thrown the stars into the water? I supposed that some magical power hangs those stars on the sky after the sun goes down. The sunset! The sun! Oh the most remarkable one in the Meiti riverside park. At first it was like a fresh egg yolk, so orange, so plump. After a while, as if the mischief night angel has put a needle on it. The orange blasted out with a mixture of rose-pink, and dyed the whole sky. The round circle we saw earlier ago was vanishing. Suddenly, a splash of the water distracted me from the beautiful sunset. It was a fish jumping out of the water I guess. So energetic it was, acting in a way to inform the night to come and call for the magic power to hang up the twinkling stars in the water to the sky.
The beautiful place, Meiti, I wonder what it is like in the other times of the day. I'm willing to spend my day, staring at the wonderful scene. It would be a worthwhile waste.

Exemplification: Animal testing should be reduced
In nowadays, we human are intelligent enough to change the world. We are confident that we are the most powerful animal on the earth and we can take control of every living thing. And for our own good, our health problems, and the products using on us. We started to use the animals that are not being able to defense human as experimental animals. Animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines and to test the safety of other products.Many of these experiments cause pain to the animals involved or reduce their quality of life in other ways. It should be reduced in some way.
One reason is that animals suffered a lot from the experiments. Many animals are used as the experimental animals such as rabbits, and mice. Before the medicine is released to the market, the lab will try the medicine on the rabbit, by dripping the medicine into the rabbit's eyes and see the reactions. For our safety of using the medicine and the pharmacy industry to earn money, we didn't even care about how the animals suffered. What really matters to the company is that if the medicine is okay to be used on human, and they only want to see the results of the testing on the animals are positive or not. It is not moral of us to do that.
There is also a reason that the action should be stopped is that the benefits to human beings are not proven. Human beings are unlike other animals that we take test on. If we say that we are at a different level than the other animals, then why do we think that it's appropriate to apply the products that only took experiment on animals that are different from us? Maybe there are no side effects on the animal, but we can not assure that there's no side effect on human being because the experiment hasn't been taken on human. Therefore the benefit to human are not proven.
Not all scientists are convinced that the tests on animals are useful and valid. Animal has not been as critical to the advancement of medicine as is typically claimed by proponents of animals experiments. Moreover a great deal of animal experiments have been misleading and resulted in either withholding off drugs, sometimes for years that were subsequently found to be highly beneficial to human. Although the effects are harmless to animals but it caused human suffering and death. Therefore we can see that it remains a big concern of whether the testing is necessary.
For the love of the earth, for our morality and conscience. We should think of another way to replace testing on animals. So smart as we are, we will definitely figure out a better way for both of the sides to make the world better.

free writing: Comparing God in the Bible and the Greek gods
After studying the Bible and Greek Mythology, I found some significance of how the creation in the Bible shows a contrast to the Greek mythology.
In the Bible, God created light to separate day and night on the first day. On the second day, God created heavens.On the third day God created earth and seas. One the fourth day God created seasons. On the fifth day God created sea monsters and fowls in the sky. On the sixth day God created crawling creatures, cattle on earth, and human. God created the world with his word. However, in the Greek mythology, the world started with chaos, and from chaos, Night and Erebus was born. From dark and death, Love was born, and the Day and the earth was born. We don't know how it happened. There was a supernatural force that created the world. And from the story tellers, we can see that they personified the nature. They made Earth(the mother) and Heaven (the father) acted in some ways like human. And also the Olympian gods, some people say that human created the gods in their own images, and the existence of the gods in Greek mythology was like generation after generation. In contrast, God created everything and he created human human in his own image.
The characteristics of God in the Bible and the Olympians in the Greek mythology are very different. God in the Bible and the Olympians in the Greek mythology are very different. God in the Bible is almighty. He is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. He takes control of everything. The gods in the Greek mythology are powerful too, but they are not omniscient and omnipotent. It is because each of the gods are in charge of different things, their power are divided. And even the most powerful god--Zeus, has to bow down to Gate, for Zeus himself is not able to fight what was doomed to be. That's why he was so desperate to force Prometheus to tell him the oracle of him.
God in the Hebrew Bible is a being of just, power, righteous, good. He has a positive attitude toward human. Even if men did something wrong, he did not punish men to death. Instead, he gave redemption.n For instance, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, God didn't kill them, he gave them skin coat in order to cover their sins. It is because after eating the fruit, human can see good and evil, and they became ashamed of themselves. And because of that, there was a gap between God and human. However, the gods in the Greek mythology are more like human beings. They tend to have human qualities. They show their emotions such as love, jealousy, hatred. For example, the reason why the Trojan War took such a long time is because of the gods meddled in the war. Athena and Hera stands on the Greeks side because Paris chose Aphrodite as the fairest goddess, and that made them angry. The Greek gods tend to show negative attitude toward human because we can see that those gods tend to show negative attitude toward human because we can see that those gods use their superior power to meddle in human's issue, and they don't really care if the humans are dead or not. They do things in order to satisfy themselves. For example, Hera will not be satisfied until she sees the city of Troy is ruined. That rage of Hera caused so many people's death, but she did not care about it. We can say that the gods in the Greek mythology are good and just also, but they are only good and just when they wanted to be. For instance, Zeus the most powerful god is also a lustful god. When he fell in love with human girls, he uses he superior power to offense them. This case also shows the disrespect of Greek gods toward human, while God in the Bible acted like a loving father and forgives human.

The most dilemmatic moment I have faced
I have always been an absent-minded person. Whenever people warn me about something that i need to be careful of, I always ignore it. The tragedy came one time, and i could never forget it, the most dilemmatic moment i have faced.
That day, i carried my cellphone to the toilet as usual, it's a new one, and I bring it everywhere I go.
My mom always warns me of not putting the cellphone in the pocket, it might fall out; however i never listen to her. I went into the toilet, do the "initial steps" in the bathroom. Just about the moment i was going to squat down. And i was thinking in my mind: "oh! My cellphone is in my pocket!" , the tragedy happened. I heard the sound of splash beneath me. I wasn't that panic at the moment because i dropped the money in the toilet for a couple times, it was no big deal to me. But when i looked down, and felt the pocket lightened, I knew I'm in trouble. I started screaming. Oh my god! It's my cellphone sinking! It's new! It's not waterproof! I need to save it! Here comes the dilemma, the water was kind of dirty, although i haven't done the "toilet action". What if the person went into this toilet was doing the "big deal", what if she had a diarrhea? God, I can't stop imagining how dirty is the toilet. But that is my cellphone inside. The more time i spend to think about picking it up or not, the less chance will it be still usable.
I've made up my mind, i closed my eyes, and put my hand into the cold water. My hands were shaking, trying to reach my cellphone. I can feel the cool and wet touching of the water, that feeling went through my finger tip to my wrist. How can the toilet be so deep? As i reached my cellphone, i tried to stress my fingers to grab it, but it slipped. Almost all of the swear words came into my mind, I condemned myself of doing this stupid thing. I tried again, holding it tight in my hand.
The screen was black, i think it has shut down because of the water. I walked to the faucet, wondering if i should wash my hand, and also wash my cellphone. It's will be wet again! But it's dirty! "Nah!Screw it! It's wet already and it will work if it's not broken, I'm going to wash it anyway!" That is what i was thinking. So i washed it and i washed my hands. Totally forgot the main purpose that caused this tragedy. I guess my urine has evaporated when the cellphone dropped.
I went out of the bathroom, and saw my friends playing with their cellphone, and told me "Hey! I heard someone screaming in the toilet, did you heard that?" "Um, yes...?"

Free writing: Gone Girl( movie review)
Before the terrible mid-term week, i went to watch a movie called "The Gone Girl".
It's so popular and great a movie that everyone who has seen it recommended me to go watch it.
The movie started with Nick, the husband, sitting in the bar and got a call from his neighbor, and he went home, found out that his wife Amy was gone. All of these happened on their fifth anniversary day.
Nick then called the police, and Amy's parents found a volunteering group to search for their beloved, talented daughter.
At first the was told in the third person perspective, but then it turned to the first person narrative, which is Amy telling the truth that she detested her husband so much that she set up a scheme to make everyone thinks that she was murdered by her husband. Amy's plan was so perfect that it sent a shudder through me. I almost believed that Nick really killed her. I don't want to tell more details of the movie! Haha! But the crazy mind of Amy really astonished me and gave me goosebumps. She was acting in front of everyone! And almost everyone was tricked by her.
I think what's really fascinating about the movie was that, among most victims or minorities in the stories were females. But in the Gone girl, the victim was male. This story holds a concept that "Truth are tend to be more deeper than what we saw outside." Just like Amy's ex-boyfriend was being accused of raping her, but those were all her schemes.
In my opinion, it's a very feminist mainstream movie, because it showed that nowadays society controls women and rforce them into certain roles, and have to obey what their husbands say. Amy in this movie,destroyed her husband's life, she's symbolically taking back power for women.
Amy wants to take control of man. She asks Nick to wear the tie she bought for him. In the reality, women tend be on the weak side, so Amy in the story, she took advantage of this, and made people to believe that her husband was the murderer.
I think it is a very good movie, because I am a very absent-minded person, so I think I can watch this movie for a lot of times!
