a poetic response to "The Sound of the Hollyhocks"

Handsome rich guy,marries secretly

Wife leveas him, dies suddenly

Love or hate

Starts talking to hollyhocks, ex-wife's favourite

Get into the clinic

Mom final control

Face turns to purple,will not wakes up anymore

'Life Cycle of Salmon' review

(from youtube)

   When we taste the delicious salmon at the dinner table，perhaps rarely think about their moved life story. Last week I saw a short video on the Internet about the
salmon. Because it is salmon backflow season, so the weekend, my dad, mum and I
went to the Weaver Greek Spawning Channel, watching salmon backflow. The visit
aroused my interest in the salmon. I do not mean to eat. This trip I was most
shocked by the dead salmon that I saw on the shore.

    So I went home and made ​​a deep research about the life
cycle of salmon. Spawners in spawning channel spawn her eggs, which generally is
freshwater. After the entire fall and winter, the eggs slowly developed. In the
spring, the eggs hatch to produce alevins. There is a thing named yolk sacs
bellow their bellies, it has all the nutrients that alevins needed for growth. March
to May, alevins became fry swim out spawning channel, migration to the Fraser River;

start to begin their lives in the sea. When they grow into adult, they start to

swim back to the spawning channel. The life cycle is complete, after they spawned
all their eggs. That is why I will saw those salmon died in the shore of
spawning channel.

   Salmons’ lives are full of dangers and tragic. They overcome the difficulties; avoid many dangers, in the last moments of their life, running upstream, spawning, and migration, for their life ends.
