Item 1: Poem
SEIZE THE DAYLive each day as if it were your last
I tell you dear friend time is running so fast
All of us would one day return to dust
I know it's hard to accept but we must
Tell the people you love about the way you feel
Give them a hug and show them love that is real
Say sorry to those you offended so wounds would heal
Accepting your faults is not really a big deal
Do it now and don't tarry lest it be too late
Sometimes it's not wise for the right time to wait
Because your plans could be ruined by fate
If you do it now you would feel really great
Smell the pretty flowers, listen to birds singing so gay
Enjoy the beauty of nature give yourself time to play
Remember on this earth we can't forever stay
So I tell you now is the time, go ahead and seize the day.
Rhyme: Last – fast,
dust – must, feel – real, heal – deal, late – wait, fate – great, gay – play,
stay – day.
Repetition: seize the
day.
Message.
Life is short, people
should treasure every moment of life.
Item 2: Story
A hungry wolf was on
the prowl. He met a dog passing by and requested him for some food. The dog
took pity on the wolf and said, “Cousin, you should also work for a master like
me. You will be given good food every day.” The wolf agreed to go with the dog to
his master’s place so that he could share the dog’s work. On the way, the wolf
noticed that the hair on a certain part of the dog’s neck was worn away.
He asked the dog how
that happened. “Oh,” the dog replied, “it’s just a little thing that’s happened
because of the collar that’s put to chain me every night. Earlier it used to
annoy me but now I’m used to it so it hardly matters.” On hearing this, the
wolf said, “I think this is not the right place for me to work in, so I am
leaving.”
The wolf thought that
it is better to be free and starve than to be a slave and eat well. He thought
that he was better off than the dog and went away.
Rhetorical devices:
Metaphor:
The dog (happiness in slavery)
The wolf (freedom of
poverty)
Collar (slavery).
Message:
The freedom of poverty
is better than happiness in slavery
Item 3: Cartoons.
