The Automobile!

Cars an invention made to make transportation more efficient. The car is such an important instrument in our daily lives. Since the day of the first car was invented, cars have been able to give humans a new way of fast transportation. In a way cars have made our lives much easier. I could not think of any other invention more important than the car as we use the car for many reasons. It is really important to have a car because how else would we be able to get to places on time without it. Think about it if car were never invented we would have had to still use horses to get to places. Actually that sounds pretty awesome but I would still prefer a car. Cars are very useful as they can bring you to many destinations. Imagine having to go to other towns, cities or even other states without a car. Places that would take days to walk there would only take of a matter of minutes to get with a car. Not only can a car give transportation but it gives you entertainment as well. You could blast some music in your car. You could even race and drift with your car. A car could shelter you from the weather, like rainy days. You could even personalize your car to however you want it to look or have to your personal interest. There are so many varieties of brands of cars today in the world that your could choose from as well. Cars is such an important factor in life. Cars have been a starting point for all types of motor used inventions. Such as other vehicles like buses and motor bikes. It also help lead to make better tools such as like a lawn mower. The car is just that amazing.

Metonymy - The Old Suits

The old suits are on the television once again on going on with discussing the countries problems. The old suit rises to the stand while fixing his blue striped tie and cuff linking his black jacket. As he stood barely tall enough to speak into the mike, he starts speaking with his aged voice. "Today our country faces a critical problem if left alone will lead to terrible consequences." With this the crowd sits in silence waiting and listening carefully to learn about the crisis. "Currently the country Syria is at midst of a civil war with in its country between their government and the people of Syria that do not agree with government."  "Our country must decide on whether to or not to take action in Syria." Cameras flashing, reporters asking questions the crowd starts talking as the old suit finishes his sentence. A question shouted from the crowd made by one of the paper presses. "Why are we always involving ourselves in other countries affairs?" The old suit argues back in his old wise voice. "If we do nothing not only will we let a country fall to ruin but also the innocents that maintain in Syria will take damage as well." In Syria their government resulted using chemical weapons on its own people. The old suit just keeps yapping off more issues that has happened in Syria to draw the crowds attention and to make them feel more sincere for the people of Syria. "So much has happened in Syria with America's involvement we can save lives and prevent further chaos." With this the old suit argues against all that think we should do nothing to help Syria and mind our own business. From writing this story i believe that involving our country to help Syria will make a difference. If nothing is done nothing is changed so doing nothing would just let the suffering to continue. As the old suit makes a point to his listeners a great debate begins of one side wanting to have take action in Syria and another wanting to sit on the side thinking that our involvement would only worsen the countries' problem. So i end this story with a question, "What do you think should be done?"

The Meaning of my name

David Huang is my name. What's the meaning of my name? Well for me my name could mean a variety of things. In my own terms it could mean a friend, a brother, and a son. The origin of how I achieved David as my first name was that my parents decided to give me an English name so they were flipping through a book of names to name me and found that they really liked the name David. I achieved my last name through my dad obviously.

I never wondered where my name had came from or the history behind it not until I was given this assignment, so I searched it up. I had learned that many countries use the name David and is ranked really high for the popularity usage of the name. I had learned that my name had derived from the Hebrew name Dawid which had came from the Hebrew word (דוד or dwd) which means beloved. I had learned that there were many historical, religious and famous figures that were named David. David was also a name of one Israel's greatest king who is included in the Old Testament where he had defeated Goliath.

My last name is Huang and in Chinese it means Yellow. My last name is ranked 7th as the most common name used in China. My last name is also used in other countries such as Korea and Vietnam. Huang is an ancient surname which leads back into over four thousand years ago in the days of legendary sage emperors in the Xia dynasty. Also found out that a river in China is called the Huang River.

I feel happy about the new knowledge I learned about from my first name and my last name. I also searched my name on urban dictionary and was very happy to see how awesome the name David is.
