4. What changes will you make regarding to the reading?
I should teach myself to understand metaphors from now. I do understand them but most of the times, I don't understand when I read poetries. Also, I really suck at drawing but I've learned that drawing come from seeing relations of the objects.
5. What questions do I have from the reading?
-How can you identifiy the negtive space when drawing?
-How can I identify and use the skill of "seeing" the objects?
6. What connections have you made to real life?
-I should start to make connections of using the skill of seeing the objects. Also, I should start to using and try to understand metaphors in my life.

Tony- A Whole New Mind (pg. 100-115)
1. What Surprised You?
-I was surprised that even the young children are capable of finding information faster than some university libraries
-I never took 'stories' as being part of medical science
-It surprised me that people learn better through stories instead of instruction books
-I never realized that most of myths passed down from generations have same plots and ideas
-Human are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories." (pg. 102)
2. What did you already know?

4. What Changes will you make reagrding to the reading?
From my personal expirience, I learn better when I am told a story than instructed to do things. From now on, maybe it is a good idea to study for my future tests by telling stories, made with contants in the notes/books, to myself.
5. What questions have this left you with?
-What makes McKee so special and good compare to other screen writers?
-Would there be some difference of learning if the genre of stories are different?

-Like I mentioned previoulsy, I have to agree with: "Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they are ideally set up to understand stories."

Also, I just enjoy stories more than lectures.

Tony-A Whole New Mind (pg. 68-86)
1. What surprised you?
-I really like this quote said by John Heskett: "Design, stripped to its essence, can be defind as the human nature to shape and make our environment in ways without precedent in nature, to serve our needs and give meaning to our lives." (p. 69)
-I was surprised to find out that CHAD has attendence of 95% comapre to other schools in Phillidelphia (usually 65 %)
-Even though designs were always around us, I never realized that it is the design that changes instead of the inside of products.
-No art schools in 1980's in Asia but there are number of them nowadays
-These days, car comapanies "don't make 'automobiles," (p. 79) they make "moivng works of that express the driver's love of quality." (p. 79)
-Designs can also deliver environmental benefits (pg. 82)
2. What did you know already?
-I alredy knew that as we grow up, we tend not to raise our hands (pg. 69)
-That desin is a classic whole-minded aptitude
-Frank Nuovo is one of thw world's best-known industrial designers
3. New Vocabularies
-loincloth: n. a piece of cloth worn around the loins or hips, esp. in tropical regions as the only item of clothing
-interdisciplinary: adj. combining or involving two or more academic disciplines or fields of study
-brouhaha: n. excited public interest, discussion, or the like, as the clamor attending some sensational event
-enclave: n. a country, or esp., an outlying portion of a country, entirely or mostly surrounded by the territory of another country
-recalcitrant: adj. resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory
4. What changes will you make regarding to the reading?
It seems like beautiful designs have effect on almost everything. Not only on business but also on people's minds. The book listed few examples how desgins effect the way we live. For example, "desgins can do more than supply our kitchens with cooking implements that stir both our sauces and our souls" (pg. 81). Good design can CHANGE the world. And there are more examples listed after that. My point is, when I do business, I should be considering on design too.
5. What questions has this left you with?
-Why did patients who were in better-designed hospitals recover faster than patients in not appealing hospitals?
-Does most of graduates from CHAD success as designers?
-Does better designs really help people to feel better?
6. What connections have you made to real life?
I have to agree with the fact that younger students have more confidence thatn older students (such as raising hands) because the younger students are still young and does not know much about the real world. Not only that, I started to realize that our kitchen does have lots of beautifuly-designed appliances and kitchen. For example, my mother has a collection of tea cups that are flower shaped. Also, the kitchen is designed with brown, black and white and the three colors blend very well.
