JACOB BARNETT , THE BOY TALENTED
by Zeynep Gizem Emir on Thursday,November 21,2013

The story of a boy 15 years old , diagnosed with authism is very attractive. While his peers study in high schools , he studies at university with his 20-years old friends. Jacob's mathematical intelligence is perfect unlike his mother Kristine and father Michael.Kristine wanted to be sure about his son's ability and she sent Jacob's videos to Piercon University from which Einstein graduated.She not believe that education is  memorizing knowledge or obey the authority without questioning. She infrants all rules known as truth. She wrote about her style that create a genious boy. It is letting a child think critically. 

Mrs.Barnett wrote a book named "The Spark : A mother's story of Nurturing Genious in which she explains her son. She explains what they experience in the education process.The book is published earlier this year and it is best-seller now. Superficially, she expresses in her book that she allowed him to do what he wants and perceive the world by himself .Contrary to what doctors state about him , he has had no learning problems. He is labelled as authisitc by some doctors and Jacob's teachers ; however he is the boy whose IQ is 170 , which means he is smarter even than Einstein(160). Kristine is hard bitten.She hasn't given up. She mentions about the conference by which her son was entitled to study at Premeter Institue For Theoretical Physics. It was only five minutes he make decision to study there.

From early childhood of Jacob , we learn an event showing Jacob's sparkle.One day,Kristine see the line made by crayons.These cryons were in the same order with the colors' order in rainbow.She and her husband were slack-jawed and Jacob was just three years old when he did that.

Now,the boy called that he can not even lace up is studying for proving the flaws of the relativity theory. Jacob believes that Earth didn't formed after the Big Bang , so he searches for the leak of carbon dioxide during the formation of Earth.

MY MISERABLE LOVE

MY MISERABLE LOVE


You are the the reason
Of my misery that I am in now
Unforgetable memories
Are always on my mind
Rather than being able to neglect 'you and I'
Every moment of my life is full of your bright face and
Blurry mind
Endings give grief sometimes
And sometimes they make you
Unbeatable no matter what you face
Till the end of the world
I will love you and
For good , I forgive you
Uuu! I know  you'll regret
Lastly , that will be so late.

PARALLELISM

1) Our beagle loves to hunt. Someone opens the back for her. She barrels down porch steps into the yard and runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbit and other presences that are too subtle for human detection.  She sniffs and spins her tail in quick circles.  It spins clockwise first , then it spins counterclockwise.  Sniffing and spinning activities always occur together. They seem to propel her along.

2)The Government Printing Office in Washington D.C., is a source of much useful information about which few people know.  It is the official publishing house for the federal government.  The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects that range from the dangers of X-rays , home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms.  About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents , many of whom are inexpensive.  There is no charge at all for some.

3)A man reaped America’s first fortune was John Jacob Astor.  He was a German immigrant who made his initial money trading Indian furs.  He was lowborn, uneducated and never learned to speak English properly.  He carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.

Reflection Task 1a

INTRODUCTION
 
Hi everybody! Welcome to my blog. It is time to have been introduced me to each other. Firstly,don't worry. It will not be like the introductions you are accustomed to. I'm not an ordinary person.To begin with my interests, firstly,I really like to be involved in language.It has been my passion from the earlier years of my life. I was a little girl spending my time imagining dream world in which I live.I created imaginary foreign friends with whom I speak in a made up language.I can't say that I reached all my dreams.As years passed , I succeeded in being in my dream country "Italy" so now that I can begin to crave for France.I have French class.As for language again,I want to mention about my parrot.My sweet prince Charlie...I believe that my tender point is animals.I taught him so well that he learned more than fifty words.The funniest thing is that he was able to meow.Secondly,I desire for learning sign language.The beginning of the semester METU WITHOUT BARRIERS choose its trainee by lot.However I was unlucky.When it comes to the subject of sport,honestly,I only like jogging. I was placed with high grade in the competition when I was in 7th grade.I love writing short stories,but I don't allow people to read them :D My character is so changeable.I can say for the thing I liked yesterday is generally what I hate now or vice versa.To give an example, I think that I had such a terrible music delight just before two years ago. By the way , I am exactly addicted to filmes. I like every single genre of films. That is me with superficial explaination.I am glad to introduce myself. (:
