Changyu Kang/Responses & Character description Assignment (p. 77)/Narrative Composition(2) Tuesday & 09:00~11:00

Post complete responses to question 3 from Task 3.3 and question 1 from Task 3.4 to the class blog for your classmates to review. Q3 – Task 3.3 I think the writer used the metaphor effectively because I felt his feelings toward his brother with metaphor: brother of the rain. With this metaphor, I felt blue and darkness and I could feel somewhat gloominess in writer's essay. Q1 – Task 3.4 My boss is sophisticated racing car. And you can find the reason in my essay. The first draft of the essay assigned on page 77 Gentleman in office "Everyone makes mistake at first. You're doing good job and everything's gonna be alright" This is what my boss said to me when I make a mistake. "How is it going today? Hope you have a great rest of day" he always says to people like this softly when they encounter at a staff lounge. He is a leader of planning department which I belonged to as intern and there is one word never missed out when people in my office say about him: Gentleman.   There are several reasons why he is called a gentleman other than his kindness. First he always dresses well. He has the western model body with long legs and a slim figure and fits amazingly in all kinds of style. Suit, causal, even sportswear don't matter. Especially jeans fit nicely although he is 38 years old. He is a 'fashion-sponge'. Even he dresses up normally, his clothes are all neatly-ironed and there is no single stain or crease even including his shoes. We know his cleanliness and delicacy through his clothes. He is also good-looking man. His eyes are not that big and his nose is not that high but each features are natural and harmonious which give people a good impression. Basically he often smiles but even when he looks serious because of his work, it made him more professional. There is a famous phrase in Korea which empathizes on handsome face: fashion is completed by face. In Korea, it is applied to various situations such as "000 is completed by face" and for him, work is completed by face. Handsome face and always dress up neatly plus kindness, and his desk is clean and neat as much as his appearance. Whenever I look at him, I feel like I'm looking at sophisticated racing car which is always well-maintained. This gentleman is also good listener too. Whenever people in office have problem related to work or even their privacy they go to him. Everyone respect and trust him. But that doesn't mean he gives people a really useful advice. All he does is just to listen other's words. I had a chance to witness 'consulting scene' when we planning department got together after work. He talked with his staff next to me. At that time the staff had some trouble with family. He listened to staff's words with much empathy and gave simple advice. I remember he said "follow your heart but just don't forget family is the most precious people in our life." It was really simple but the staff seemed to be much relieved than before. I felt what people in need really want is him not his words.   Of course he is not a saint, not a perfect person. He sometimes makes a mistake, likes to hang around with people with some alcohol, and still single. But he knows how to treat his staff and talk with people. Most of all he knows true meaning of gorgeous.
