For my ESL journal topic this week, we had to choose a color that best represents us.

i noticed there were alot of people picking out red to represent themselves.
Red stands for passion, energy, anger, bold, adventurous, impulsive and yea, you get my point. All these are shown through examples of their own character and actions.

Like human beings, colors have also been stereotyped to one or more specific qualities, good or bad. How many of you guys agree with the above characteristics of red that i've picked out?

Lets think of it this way. Red is the color of blood, a symbol of violence. I have an extreme disrelish to the color red, simply because it denotes gore in the many films i've watched and reality shows i've heard of.

Take the Sichuan earthquake for example, the death toll increases almost everyday and the countless images of 'red' shown. Red in this instance, will mean pain and agony to both the victims and their families, not mentioning people from all over the world.

Will red mean anything near being adventurous or passionate now?





My condolences to the victims and families of the Sichuan earthquake.
And, kudos to the humanitarian relief team.

Its not in english though..

all these thought(s) came into my mind.. before i saw this website where the first picture originated from.

Endangered Polar Bears.

Look at the picture again, do you still see a cute or endangered polar bear now? Well, actually i see both.Its always interesting to see how, you perceive a picture and the immediate reactions, feelings or responses you get.

As i went through the website, my perception of the picture changes almost completely. i feel for those poor polar bears so far up in the north.

The above picture was also taken from the site. This picture shows the sun rays shining unto the polar bears and one young bear hiding in the shelter of its parent body. The sun rays reminds us of the ozone layer hole and greenhouse effect which will cause ice caps in the north to melt. The young bear trying to shield itself from the sun will gain sympathy from most readers too.

A lone polar bear

The clever choice of these pictures actually gets to most of us before we read the captions, giving us various mixed feelings to go from "wa so cute" to " wa poor thing".

After i went through the entire site, i felt guilty. I switched off my air-con, prepared to brave the heat rather than indirectly adding on to the greenhouse effect in the ozone layer which in turn will cause the ice caps to melt and blah blah killing the polar bears..

Then! i realised, my air conditioner is CFC free.

Before i get out of point here, my main point is to prove, how different first impressions and feelings after getting to the source of the picture is. Of course, and to remind everyone to save the earth!

SAVE THE WORLD PEOPLE!!
