What are you trying to ask? Or am I just to stupid to see what you are trying to ask.....
If I were to create a poster that explains positive culture group interactions, I would split it into four different sections. In the first section, I would describe what a culture group is (a group with shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices). In this section, I would include images that reflect culture groups from different countries. In the second section, I would discuss the idea of knowledge of culture. In this section, I would explain that knowledge of my culture and the other person's culture is key to having a positive culture group interaction. I would also use images of a library, which is a place where knowledge is kept. In the third section, I would discuss needs and feelings of people involved in a culture group interaction. In this section, I would explain that it is important to remember the needs and feelings of each person involved in a culture group interaction. I would also include an image of two people talking. In the fourth section, I would have no words but rather one image of two people with their arms around each other. This would reflect that positive culture group interactions create friendships.
Poem:
Neglect by R. T. Smith
Summary:
The speaker in this poem seems to be filled with regret and sadness due to the fact that his apple tree he had neglected is now gone. It connects to a more general theme, such as loss. The fact that, we neglect to spend as much time as possible with the ones we love, and regret it in the ending when we realize it is too late. We tend to blame ourselves in every way, for it’s hard to deal with sudden tragedies. Looking at the apple tree as more of a metaphor, one can see that the speaker cannot help but find something precious to be lost. Continuously he even says “I should have” rather than facing acceptance. The reason the speaker’s idea can be expressed easily without having to actually state the loss of an apple tree as metaphorical, is that the poem is titled neglect. It is simply generalizing what others could feel the topic may express to them. The tone of voice complements the words perfectly, for it is emotional and the metaphors carry on the moral of the poem. The mood constantly makes you think that he is facing a hard battle, for it is depressing. “Is the scent of apple boughs smoking in the woodstove what I will remember of the Red Delicious I brought down, ashamed” This line presents regret and the burden that hangs over him for he had not cared for the tree enough, although he had loved it very much; much like the people in our lives. However, he does speak of everyone, “For any living being unloved, untended.” For in his mind he knows what it’s like to do such upon others. Overall what the speaker feels the reader feels, and the feeling is guilt and grief.
Don't forget to paraphrase!
Paraphrase means to put it into your own words.
