Advertisement and Symbolism

 

 

Gold is the colour of Luxury. In many ads we can see gold colour. There are gold dresses, gold furniture and gold bottle. Gold is a trendy, sassy and sleek colour. It’s perfect for perfume’s ads. Gold is rare, so advertisers want to give the impression that the product is rare too.

Channuka, Candlelight and The Maccabeats

I'll tell a tale
Of Maccabees in Israel
When the Greeks tried to assail
But it was all to no avail

The war went on and on and on
Until the mighty Greeks were gone

I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin ayy ohh spin the dreidel
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singin ayy oh, light the candles

We say al hanissim
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candlelight

And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the miracle
Of the candlelight

They took the field
The rivals thought "are they for real?"
But those macabees they'd never yield
They charged ahead with sword and shield

The war went on and on and on
Until the mighty Greeks were gone

I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin ayy ohh spin the dreidel
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singin ayy oh, light the candles

We say maoz tzur
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candlelight

And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the miracle
Of the candlelight

And the great menorah
For eight days it kept on burning
What a celebration
A great return to Torah learning

Cuz I can feel it
And Ay-ay-ay
Nes gadol, nes gadol
Nes gadol hayah sham

I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin ayy ohh spin the dreidel
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singin ayy oh, light the candles

We say al hanissim
Oh yea for all eight nights
Then we play dreidel
By the candlelight

And I told you once
Now I told you twice
Bout the miracle
Of the candlelight

Distance Bette Midler and The Present Simple

Present Tense     

From a Distance 

From a distance the world  1                      (look) blue and green

And the snow capped mountains white

From a distance the ocean 2                               (meet) the stream

And the eagle 3                           (take) to flight

From a distance, there is harmony
And it 4                                  (echo) through the land

It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man

From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
And there 5                        (is) no guns, no bombs, and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man

God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you 6                           (look) like my friend

Even though we 7                       (is) at war

From a distance I just cannot 8                      (comprehend)
What all this fighting is for

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man)

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man

And God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching
God is watching us from a distance

E.I.

 

Emotional Intelligence

                What do you think about effective leaders? What comes to mind? Chances are, you picture someone who listens to their team. They stay cool under pressure. They know when to trust their intuition. And they never let their emotions get the best of them. People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence.

                 Emotional intelligence or E.I. is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand them and see how they affect those around you. Having high emotional intelligence also means that you see the emotions of others clearly. This allows you to manage your emotions better and avoid potential conflicts.

                There are five elements that define emotional intelligence. The first is self-awareness. When you are self-aware you know how you are feeling all of the time and how those feelings are affecting those around you. The second characteristic is self-regulation; this is the ability to control your emotions naturally. You can develop self-regulation by upholding your values and holding yourself accountable when you make a mistake. 

                     The third aspect of emotional intelligence is motivation. People with high motivation are willing to put off short term rewards for long term success. The forth is empathy. This is when you have an intuitive understanding of other people’s emotions and what maybe motivating them.

                      Finally, having good social skills is also critically important. If you have strong social skills than you are more likely to work positively with other people and manage conflict effectively.

                     Having high emotional intelligence skills is critical for today’s work place. If you can build and maintain strong relationships then you can work happily and productively with the people around you.  High emotional intelligence is also one of the key attribute of being an effective leader.

Read the Rosh Hashana passage. Find the symbols and what they represent.

Symbolism

Symbolism is an object, action or idea that represents something other then itself.
For example a heart = love

How Do Writers Use Symbolism?Writers insert symbols into their writing to allude to a feeling, mood or attitude without directly stating the perspective or mood intended. Symbolism is supplemental to the story.
