Carol's Life Recording

I think the relationship with my parents is the most important for me. First, they gave me the chance to this world, I had my meaning and life. Second, they are my first teachers, they taught me how to be a person, how to treat others. When I grow up, they would allow me to have my own value to the world and life. Sometimes we would talk about these and I always learn something from them. Third, now they are more likely my friends, for some things, they just gave me opinions and let me make decisions. I hope the time can go slowly, I can have more time to stay with them.

Yesterday 8/6, professor Jason took us to SUMA to visit the exhibition called Al Farrow: Wrath & Reverence.  This exhibition I took pictures of was Menorach VI, 2008. It was made of steel, guns, and bullets, 35*37*15 in. Collection of Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, 21c Museum Hotels.  From illustration, I knew the candles were put into guns. In my opinion, when we pray for some events, we need to emblaze the candles to express the emotion of missing. At first, if I didn't look at the tour guide magazine, I didn't know the candles were put on the gun. I think the artist wants to express dissatisfied with war and want to be a peaceful world. It also expressed pray to the people who died in the war. We should treasure the current peace because it is exchanged by countless lives. At the same time, we need to treasure current life and live.

What's my ideal birthday gift? Why? My ideal birthday gift is a letter from my friends. I like the characters that gave me happiness. As the electronic develop, most people don't like to write letters to friends. Sometimes just a celebration card with some not useful gifts. For me, I think a letter is enough, a sentient letter is the behavior of our relationship. I am not interested in clothes, shoes, and cosmetics. If my friends give me this, I will be confused about how to deal with them, I won't be willing to share the gifts which I get from others. Until now I still have some gifts that I don't know how to deal with. Therefore I think instead of spending money on buying gifts, the friends can sit down to think about the stories and experience we spent together. I think I will happy with this and my friends can save more energy and money on picking up gifts.
