The Elephant Rope (Short Stories)

 There are a lot of short stories on the internet but here is the one that i found very interesting  it is called or named "The Elephant Rope". Here's how it goes:
 The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.


Based upon my analyzation here are the structures and also the language features:


From the stories we can have a conclusion that no matter the difficulties in life we cannot give up just because of a single problem that we can't get over.

Aspiration Day

Aspiration day is an annual event that is held for students to deliver their thoughts on school, critics,etc. Sadly, tho I didn't attend this year's aspiration day due to problems with my scheduling. First problem is that we were told only the day before that aspiration is going to be on Friday, and I already had an appointment for my Japanese tutor.  The second problem is that I was also very tired, I know that this should not be an excused. However, before the event all students had a swimming class. For the boys, it was after the Friday prayer and the event is supposed to start at 2 so of course I was very tired, not only that the morning before that I had a jogging test. All of the tests werw traightforward, you just have to run and swim with front crawl style however since we have to do it repetitively it completely drained my energy.  Thinking about Japanese class, and why I chose to have one is because for most of the part I am very insterested to study in Japan espec

Me

     Hello there! My name is Dwika. I am a student from 3 High School Bandung. You know, when I think about making a bio or an in-depth look at myself. I feel that it is a bit unsafe. To me, putting your general information or a detailed information about yourself can pose a big threat to yourself. I fear that this is one of the ways bad people get closed information about yourself.    But the more i think about it, the reason on why people are willingly open about their personal information, is because so that other people from all over the world can take the personal meaning behind your story so that, it would have a positive impact on their lives which in the end could inspire them to do better things. So without further to do lets talk about myself.    I was born in a tiny city just east out of Jakarta, Indonesia. That city is Bandung. To be specific I was born on the month of June, the date 15, and the year 2002. So as I am writing this I am still 15 years old. I don't
