America did not foresee
Green, pink, purple and other colors death potpourri!
Expecting others to pay a high price.
Now thinking twice?
Toll on the innocent and unborn.

Omnipotent and disregarding who will mourn.
Reflective about all the illness, birth defects and prematurely dead.
All the deceit continues to spread.
Nefariously America led astray -
Generations untold WILL pay -
Execrable effects of agent orange spray!
Hubert Wilson

The poem is written from the perspective of someone in the future who is recounting the past.Evidence would be "foresee" and "Now thinking twice?".This show that the poet is actually criticising America's leaders for being short sighted and somewhat arrogant.This reflects that Hubret Wilson disliked war.

The situation of the poem is of a narrator talking about America.It talks about the war and damage that America caused and the problems that it will have for future generations.This could be seen from the use of the words"Nefariously" and "led astray"

The poem uses code name such as agent orange,which is actually the code name for a herbicide and defoliant—contaminated with TCDD—used by the U.S. military in its Herbicidal Warfare program during the Vietnam War.From 1962 to 1971, Agent Orange was by far the most widely used of the so-called "Rainbow Herbicides" employed in the herbicidal warfare program. During the production of Agent Orange (as well as Agents Purple, Pink, and Green) dioxins were produced as a contaminant, which have caused numerous health problems for the millions of people who have been exposed. Agents Blue and White were part of the same program but did not contain dioxins.”

Hence the title being rainbow death.It was acually referring to these weapons as this multiple colours used for the code names could actually make up an rainbow.The poem uses several rhetorical devices such as climax,as seen in the second stanza "illness, birth defects and prematurely dead.".The use of climax in this particular stanza,is to empathize the severe consequence of the use of herbicides.

The poem is rather short,consisting of only two stanzas.However,it uses military code names and several literary devices,making it a rather deep poem.

Hubert's health problems started approximately 15 years ago with unexplained headaches and limb pains. Four years ago, his central nervous system radically deteriorated with Parkinsonian type tremors, severe headaches, progressive limb pains, etc. No physician has ever diagnosed the specific illness. There was no proven cure for this disease till now. Huberts's guessed that the heavily contaminated drinking water at Shemya during my year there as an intelligence analyst was the toot of this disease. Organo-phosphate toxins may not run their toxic course until 20 to 30 years after initial exposure.

Although Huberts's limbs are deteriorating, his brain still functions moderately well. "I have turned to writing just like my late Father and the late singer (and writer) Johnny Cash." Hubert Wilson

Today was another half day,which meant that we were released from school at 10.00(*clap*),however the JC had a full day off,which made me feel somewhat shortchanged,but never mind,we had another half day last week anyway.The early release was kind of made useless by the fact that we needed to attend the project day briefing,which,for sec 2,only one member of the group needed to go.So,me,the leader/scapegoat,was made to go in place of my whole group.I found that making the briefing compulsory was a little retarded,as I had gone for the same briefing last year and the presentation hasn't changed even a little bit.So i entertained myself during the talk by resolutely avoiding the calls that my dear part mates were making to me,which added up to roughly 20+.
Then I called J**** after the briefing,which made me find out that he was calling while he was in the briefing,as he picked up my call when he was still in the briefing.This made me feel that the teacher was a little too oblivious to the students,as somebody just picked up a call in her briefing without her even realizing it.Or maybe it was just J****'s height,which made him hard to see.
Then the rest of the day was normal and boring...

I would be posting about school life as a secondary school student.Today,we had sabbaticals,which will be going on for a whole week.For those with difficulty understanding the word,I,being such a nice guy,will post up the definition from dictionary.com.Sabbatical:any extended period of leave from one's customary work, esp. for rest, to acquire new skills or training, etc.
Personally,I like having sabbaticals,as while other school students are doing their common tests,we are having fun going for enriching courses,which obviously gives you bragging rights in front of your friends.It provides a week's rest from everyone's hectic schedule,which can basically be used to catch up on work or relax.
From what I know,many schools don't have this sabbatical week,which means that we,as Hwa Chong students have this special privilege,which is pretty good.
I went for the Science Eureka sabbatical as my part mates and I saw that our NCOs were student teachers,so we decided to have a "part sabbatical" and all bidded for the sabbatical.
I find out that I was quite stupid a day after I bad for the course with 450 points,as my friends told me that there were 100+ slots for the course and people could bid little points and still get in,which was quite sad.
I was doing biology today,so the stuff was quite interesting.
This concludes my post for today.:)

This is my campaign poster.(Pardon the bad art,as my computer doesn't have Photoshop)The scale means equality and justice.The words are just propaganda.

I would want to be Atticus in the movie version.He educates Jem and Scout to be morally upright and is a good example himself.He displays physical courage and is the symbol of justice in the novel
He taught the children to not discriminate against others with different skin colours,he does this by employing a black maid,Calpurnia,and even allows Calpurnia to take the children to a black church,where the whites were the minority.
He does not discriminate against blacks,this could be seen when he tries his best to defend Tom Robinson,who is a black in a law suit against him, accusing him of rape and assault.He fights against and all white jury who believe in the stereotype that all blacks are evil.Although Atticus showed that Tom was innocent in court,Tom was still jailed due to the racial discrimination by the jury.
In conclusion, I would like to be Atticus because of the many interesting scenes in the novel.

Please go to:http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm for my multiple intelligence,click results and enter this code:zk28b83257qt.

I don't feel that the multiple intelligence test is very accurate, as anybody can just lie in the intelligence test and get a perfect result.Even though this is an issue of morals,but there are indeed people out there who will just cheat in the test just to show off to their friends.

Another thing that is puzzling me is the fact that a short quiz of merely 40 questions,is supposedly able to determine how good in every category we belong to.I find this ridiculous as what right does the creator have to define how good we are in each aspect based on 40 questions that the person created.

However,knowing how good we are in each aspect is useful as it allows one to do things that suits your learning style,and teachers could make use of this knowledge to teach students differently,which is a win-win situation for both the student and the teacher.
