Metafiction Assignment - Guitar, as my life

Image
The protagonist is remembering his painful old days. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 years ago, Beijing's morning was truly beautiful. The sunlight was splendid, the winds tickled everybody's nose, made them laugh; Beijing was full of joy and bliss, except me, Weng Wang. Once a world's best guitarist, but back then, I was just a social misfit who has had a day of drinking and smoking. Secluding myself from the society, I had quit playing guitar five years before, since the day I made a huge mistake on the world's biggest rock festival. In that festival, we performed as the main band, but I forgot the code progress of the song, so I stopped playing and the stage was completely doomed. After that accident, the band was totally broke, and my career as a guitarist was also stopped. Weng Wang's past. That accident snatched all the passion of 'guitarist Weng' and I was not a guitarist a...

In Class Writing: About the existence of God.

While many people believe in the existence of the god, others don’t. The debate between those two groups, which has been continued for millions of years, doesn’t seem to end. One group constantly doubts in the existence of god while the other group serve god as their priority. Then where is the reasonable point that each group can argue?(Woohyeon) First, the ones who believe that the god does not exist, argues that there is no scientific evidence which proves the existence of god. While the opponents suggest some mysterious, supernatural phenomenon, these people claim that every result has its cause and the way of finding the cause is called science. Moreover, people who believe that the god does not exist point out that the god is just a conceptual illusion that people made for the sake of mental peace. There is a famous sentence that represents this argument, ‘ The God is Dead. ‘(Seungmin) This idea is supported by philosophers (including scientists) with mechanical perspective s...

After watching Black Mirror's Arkangel: The most disappointing Black Mirror episode

Image
After watching the most controversial episode in the Black Mirror Season 4, Arkangel, made me think about many things simultaneously. To talk about my overall impression, I didn't like it at all. And I totally agree with the viewers those who think this episode as the worst episode in season 4. To rate this episode ( just like the Metacritic does ), the score is 4 out of 10. So from now on, I want to discuss some points that I disliked... --------------------------------------Includes Spoiler!------------------------------------------- First, the storyline was too typical. I know this point is a bit controversial and there are some people that like this kind of story plot, but I was totally cloyed with it. Arkangel's plot followed the typical 'Black Mirror' story. Which starts with the introduction of new technology in the near future, and ends up with nightmarish consequences. I know the director's intention to make the situation severe and let us have a...

My memoir: getting over it

Image
This article is a second draft of in-class essay that i wrote before. Actually, I tried to change the topic from the original one, but my grandfather's death, which was my most memorable(or painful) piece of a memory that I can remember right now. So I just tried to avoid repetition of the phrase 'I remeber." So it's quite similar but somewhat different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ --------- I remember the cloudy summer day which irritated me with its heavy humidity and pouring rain. Lying on my bed, I heard my phone vibrating on the woody desk which stood solemnly in my dull room. Call from my dad, which was frightening for me to get it in the daytime, yet the call itself was not the most frightening one. I remember my father's quivering voice talking about grandfather's death which was the death of my old friend, companion, and role-model. Being overwhelmed by the cruel fact, I experienced a ...

Getting Started with a New Blog..

Image
Firstly to talk about my new blog's name, it's "Brian's Music Room" in Latin. To confess, I was trying to make a "Cool" name with a Spanish ( It's because I took a Spanish class last year.. ). But the Spanish word Musica only stands for meaning "Music." So I thought it was bit too restricted to describe me and my blog's identity. That's why I chose a Latin which contains much more connotation in it( Latin word Musica stands for Culture, Music and Enjoyment... ). What is more, I love learning new languages. So using Latin in my blog title is sort of making a implication that I'm gonna learn Latin someday. To move on, my name is WooHyeon Cho in Korean, and Brian Cho in English. Since there are lot of Brians around, I don't care about the name you use... so most of my friends use both of the names. Before I talk about myself, let's listen to this song which is on my "Brian List." ( I often try to make my own son...
