There is a big difference in emphasis between Homer and Sappho. Odysseus focuses more on the portrayal of the two heroes in the Trojan War, describing the hardships of wandering on the sea for ten years and Odyssey’s love for his companions, family, and hometown, portraying an anti-hero for us. However, Sappho’s description of love is more focused on the feelings between homosexuals. With love and desire as the main themes, we can feel Sappho’s expression of the bitterness of brokenhearted sadness in the poem.

The poetic forms of affection are crisp and crisp, more elegant to read, and the language is more simple and straightforward. Sometimes her poetry resembles the Romantic period’s lyrics, using nature’s landscapes to symbolize her subtle moods. In most cases, metaphors are used to describe an object, but represent one’s state of mind or alluding to someone. Sappho used the skill of poetry to enrich the image and inner meaning of poetry. Sappho’s poetry made me more empathetic and appealing than Odysseus’s. At the same time, it will lead to more thinking. The meaning behind the words describes what kind of feelings she has. This is also different from Homer, who USES more similes. In the Odyssey, both the description of the scenery and the description of the characters’ actions are written vividly, as if everything happened in front of the eyes.

Animation

The first time I knew that the animation was composed of each picture. Flip books reminds me of when I was a child. I used to flip through books quickly, as if every picture was a video. It also makes me wonder how movies were made in the first place.  Bird Cage is very interesting. When the rope is quickly rotated, two unrelated patterns are combined into another brand new picture, which brings a different feeling to the vision. Op Hop-made is an interesting animation. At first, the sound was thought to be the sound of a motorcycle, then the sound of a horse’s hooves, and then as the speed increased, different geometric shapes appeared. It’s a little dizzy, but every scene is accompanied by a rhythm that still attracts people who want to see it. I wonder how long it takes to make each image in the early stages of a video like this. My favorite is rejected. It’s really like watching a movie with a plot and a story, and every picture is clearly connected. What impressed me most was a picture in which the stars fell down from the sky and the characters covered their ears at the moment when they were frightened. Before making these videos, you should write a copy or mentally demonstrate each scene you want to express, so that each scene will be better connected.

Assignment 3

The sun through the window lit up the whole room, warm on the body, I still lying on the bed with half-awake. The washing machine rumbled the clothes; the kitchen knife snipped in the vegetables, the lampblack whirred. The dish is then poured over a hot iron pan, which gives off a quick stir-fry, the chopstick stirs the thick soup, the garbage bag is tied up and crackles, the broom rubs on the ground. Suddenly, I heard a bark; the original is the side of the puppy to wake me up. Such a beautiful morning, dad was cleaning, mother in the kitchen to prepare a big breakfast.

The sound I chose is from Taylor Deupree (b. 1971), a sound artist living in New York. From the first half of the sound I hear a pure, clean melody. At the same time, I felt a sense of awe and heaviness. The sound of bells and coughs in the background reminds me of a temple where everyone prays for good, where everyone has a pious heart. They want their wishes to be fulfilled, quietly but with a touch of anxiety. From time to time also appeared the piano crisp voice, lively and relaxed, that represents a good wish. The second half of the piano and noisy noise, a sharp contrast. Just like the contrast between ideal and reality, one is beautiful, the other is cruel. From beginning to end, they all exist at the same time. It seems to be angels and demons in the human heart, one represents justice, the other represents selfishness. They’re always fighting, complementing each other. Life is like a giant paradox, never uniform. Where there is joy, there is pain. Where there is hope, there is despair. But perhaps that is what life is all about.
