What is the purpose of saying, "being a Korean with a college degree is wonderful"?

1 answer:

8 0

Not too sure about this one but maybe it shows the value of education in Korea.
I do notice how competitive it is to earn a college degree in Korea, students stay up all night studying every single second to score even one point better in their entrance exams, something like SAT in the US, so they can get into the college they want to.
The better college you go to, the better job you get. Now that’s common sense but the value of that is different from the US. There’s the “American Dream” in the US where anyone can become rich if they put their mind to it and luck rolls on, in most Asian countries academic history/resume is what determines their life.
Sorry that was a bit all over the place but hopefully you got something from it

What is the difference between denotative and connotative meanings of words?

brilliants [131]

Denotation is the LITERAL meaning:
"You are a dog" means that you are literally a canine

whereas

Connotation is the IMPLIED or SUGGESTED meaning:
"You are a dog" suggests that you are ugly or morally detestable.

I couldn't think of any other examples, i hope you get the idea though. <span />

DISENCHANTMENT

I make verses like someone who cries

Of dismay ... of disenchantment ...

Close my book, if for now

You have no reason to cry.

My verse is blood. Fiery lust ...

Sparse sadness ... vain remorse ...

It hurts in my veins. Bitter and hot,

It falls, drop by drop, from the heart.

And in these lines of hoarse anguish

So life flows from the lips,

Leaving an acrid taste in the mouth.

- I write lines like someone who dies.

Find the amount paid for the loan.<br><br> $1500 at 9% for 2 years<br><br> $

klemol [59]

The amount paid for the loan of $1500 at 9% for 2 years compound interest is $1782.15

<h3>How to determine the amount paid?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Principal, P = $1500
Rate, r = 9%
Time, t = 2 years

The amount paid is then calculated using:

$A = P(1 + r)^t$

So, we have:

$A = 1500 * (1 + 9\%)^2$

Evaluate the exponent

A = 1500 * 1.1881

Evaluate the product

A = 1782.15

Hence, the amount paid for the loan is $1782.15
