Story fo Tao

The first song is Father and son. This i can turn into a story becuase its a dialogue between two people in this case the father and the son. I can also conect this to the tao becuase its giving advice the dad to the son. He is also saying that the dad had to go to what the kid is going throw.

The second song is Heal the world. We can tur it into a story maybe by someone saying that there is a better place that we still have to discover if we try and its better for all of us. We can turin it also into a story in the idea that we need to protect nature just like the tao said.

The third song is Human Nature  this itsI thinnk the hardest one to turn into a story, but it can be maybe a story of the way people are harming the eviorment and saying that nature hs like "feeling" so it can be maybe a sotry narrated by nature for example a dialouge between trees or something.

TAO

Father and son 

Father oh Father
hear me if you can
is it true what they say
that life is a dream
i don't understand
the things that make rain in my eyes
are they real or are they lies

You know i hear so much about you now
i'd give anything
to go on a little boat with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a little boat with you

Father oh Father
guide me if you can
or give me the chance to follow you home
i am your son but i wish i knew you
when you were young
were you lonely as a boy

You know i'd give so much to see you now
i'd go anywhere
pick a little stick and walk with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a short walk with you
[From: http://www.elyrics.net]


Father oh Father
you give me just a little hope
i feel something out there reaching for me
well here i am
won't you take me with you
out of this maze
and away from this place

Because it gets so cold and lonely here
i'll do anything
to sit on a little rock with you
talk about the scheme of things
on a small rock with you

Show me show me show me the way
before they grind me down
and bleach me grey
send me power not to be afraid
and when i close my eyes
let me see you once in the light

Father oh Father
heal me if you can
is it true what they say
that life is a dream

"Human Nature"
[1st Verse]
Looking Out
Across The Night-Time
The City Winks A Sleepless Eye
Hear Her Voice
Shake My Window
Sweet Seducing Sighs

[2nd Verse]
Get Me Out
Into The Night-Time
Four Walls Won't Hold Me Tonight
If This Town
Is Just An Apple
Then Let Me Take A Bite

[Chorus]
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way

[3rd Verse]
Reaching Out
To Touch A Stranger
Electric Eyes Are Ev'rywhere
See That Girl
She Knows I'm Watching
She Likes The Way I Stare

[Chorus]
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
I Like Livin' This Way
I Like Lovin' This Way

[4th Verse]
Looking Out
Across The Morning
The City's Heart Begins To Beat
Reaching Out
I Touch Her Shoulder
I'm Dreaming Of The Street

[Chorus]
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say -
Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
I Like Livin' This Way
[Repeat Chorus - Ad-Lib/Fade-Out]

Paradox & Oxymoron

The day that this topic was explained I wasnt in class, so I did my best trying to understand what the word Paradox means.. according to the definition on dictionary.com  it is:

statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory orabsurd but in reality expresses a possible truth. 

Also the definition on dictionary of oxymoron is: 

A figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous,seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “tomake haste slowly.” 


Example 1

This example is an oxymoron because it represents a completely different idea and it has two sides. Based also on a old techinique that we had learned called close reading I can see that this is like if you wanted to throw money away. This is kind of real also becuase theres people who actually do that, and maybe they have so much that they forget the real meaning of money and its importance. Also well the way its represented is ironic as I said before. 

Example 2 
This for me is another example of oxymoron because its also two ideas totally contradictory because a box of cigarettes that is something that can totally damege hoy and kill you, and crayons which is a symbol of young, happy kids and then  as i said before the box, it makes no sense. I can also think this is trying to show is the way that things like cigaretts and alcohol are taking away those really important things. 

Example 3 

The other two examples I think were Oxymorons but on the other hand this one I think is a paradox, I think this is because this figure is actually not possible because one of the sides or poles that is very important in order fot the cube to stand, that pole cant pass throw the back of the opposite side. That is not possible, so thats why its a paradox cause even though it seems real it cant happen
