How human live and grow with experiences

I chose a song" " sang by Kokia, the Japanese singer, which states what human live and grow with experiences. This song relates to " The Blank Slate, The Noble Ssavage, And The Ghost In The Machine". It is because the song expresses we Just learned by imitating someone who is that I think what we wanted to be. At bigining time to grow, we imitated our parent, brother and sister and therefore, it became our basic personality. After we have grown up, we would be experienced many kind of situation including love, problems and so on. In summary, every our personlity is made by different type of factors depending on what we faced. Even a bad factor, it gives us a chance to grow which means how we can solve problem and undergo hardship by ourselves.


-lyric

Did you want to be perfect?

You just imitated someone, did`t you?

Any way was fine.

The most important thing was to be brave to take an action, didn`t you?


Everything you feel ganna be you.


Kokia. " Ningen tte sonnamonone" . Ningen tte sonnamonone. Glory Heaven. 2002.

observing conversation


"conversation".[online imege.google]. Feb/7/2010
As I am international student, from Japan, I speak English in America and speak Japanes in Japan. So, I can say that I belong both communities. Of course I speak Japanese with other Japanese students. I usually just chat about anyting and when a Jpanses man who is older than me, I would speak politely.
I paid an attension for a conversation between international students, one of them speak English since he was young and other is studing English right now. I ovserved them how they communicate and what they talked about was a dinner and what he did before.
I could hear that one man called other by nickname because they were known each other already.
-setting and sence
I did my observation in campus center during they are eating a dinner. They shifted who listener or taker is in each topics.
-ends
The goal of the conversation was when they ate everyting. Also, they just made thier paln for weekend.
-key
I observed about tone and manner. When a man said that I just eat an ice cream for dinner, ohter man`s tone became high because he was surprised about that and moreover, it seems that he did not trust him. At the time of beginning of the conversation, they was normal, not casual, but end of time they became casual manner, such as one man poined other man by spoon. It seems casual for me, as a Japanese.
-genre
I can just say what kind of that conversation was for was chat.
