3rd Blog Assignment

The impression that the Children gave me is that they are rather self-centered. Instead of pausing to inviting the Boy to their groups, they only play in their own groups. I think they should not just stay in their own groups and ignore him, but try to make friends with the boy. They should be more friendly to the boy and at least try to invite him to play with them instead of whispering to each other and talking about the boy behind his back as he will feel sad.

The boy gave me the impression that he always felt shy and insecure. As he always leans against the wall, i think the wall is his emotional support and it gave him a sense of security and protection. I think this may be because he was always lonely, thus, he wants to join the other children to play but he hesitates and just stays at the wall watching them play happily while he envy them. In my opinion, he should not hesitate and try to make friends with the other children so that he would not feel lonely and they might help him with his problems.

2nd Blog Assignment

I sympathize with Jack. Jack and his mother is in a very difficult situation as they are very poor. As he does not have a father, he needs to earn money by working despite his young age. But no one wants to employ him, so he had to sell his only cow, Milky-White to try starting a shop. As he sold the cow for the beans from the old man, he got scoldings from his mother. Even though he stole somethings from the Giant's house, he did it because he was poor. So, he deserve sympathy from me.

I sympathize with the Giant. Jack did not work for the gold he stole from the Giant but the Giant worked hard to earn the gold. Even though the Giant has eaten many boys, while chasing Jack down the beanstalk, Jack cut the beanstalk into prevent the giant from catching up with him and the broke his head. So, he derserves my sympathy.

I don't sympathize with the Joker. Unlike Batman, the Joker's actions were done in a bad intention. The Joker breaks the laws in a bad intention. He breaks the laws to satisfy his needs of money and authority. Batman breaks certain laws to save the country. Although, both of them have broken the laws, they have done it under different intentions.
