In the Book of Songs of Chinese poetry the poems "O Oriole, Yellow Bird" and "What PLant is Not Faded" use a similar repition in lines to show the emotions of the poems. In the poem "O Oriole, Yelow Bird" at the end of each stanza he repeats "I Must go back"(Arthur Waley ln 8) to family and to his land. This is because he is in a land where "the people are not minded to nurture him."(Waley ln 5-7)In the second poem "What Plant is not Faded" the poem is about a soldiers hardship and line seven of the poem "Alas, for us soldiers" best describes the emotional feel that the soldiers are feeling.
In the two poems written by Li Po, "letters to his two small Children" and "Quiet night thoughts" the overall mood in "letters to his two small children" is remorse which is shown in lines 11 - 14 ,"This is the tree I myself put in when I left you, nearly three years past; A peach tree now, level with the eaves, and I sailing cannot yet turn home!" In "Quiet night thoughts" he uses imagery to show of him falling asleep and dreaming which gives a very peacful mood.

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.
Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In plain English what does this translate to?
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!
