Metaphors

Metaphors are for most people a device of the poetic imagination and the rhetorical flourish, a matter of extraordinary rather than ordinary language. A metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, more words than action. Most people get along pretty well without metaphors.

Respone on poster Manson/King

The poster kind of wants to stop discrimination by presenting Martin Luther King and Charles Manson. Manson was a person with a criminal mind, not everyone knows him. Martin Luther King however is very famous and a good and kind man.  The fact that Martin Luther King is 75 times more likely to be stopped by the police is shocking. It's kind of upsetting this poster because it's horrible that the police won't stop this bad white guy but they will go after the kind man who hasn't done anything wrong. The ad might be a bit dramatized but still they want you to feel angry about it I think. The big photo's attract people so people come up and read the poster, the poster looks kinda like a wanted poster, I don't know if that's positive or negative. 

English Speech

I think McDonalds should have a delivery service. Many people like a Big Mac, cheeseburger or chicken nuggets. It's a shame that McDonalds doesn't have a delivery service yet. When you don't feel like cooking at home and you want something very fast you just call McDonalds and they come to your house.

Response on This Place That Place

This Place That Place is a painting by Kiran Chandra, she was born in India. When you find out about this the painting is already much more interesting than it looked like at first sight. The right side of the painting is probably Kolkata, a place in India. The image is very dark en shows us the contrast between a poor city and a richer society. The use of language is very funny, she actually only uses two words: 'this' and 'place' and she painted these two words in a couple of different ways. She probably ment to show that India is a very poor place to live, there's not enough food, not enough space and it's just not healthy.
