Bisy+Backson+Thematic+Analysis+AY+&+JK

=__Thematic Analysis - Ann Yi __  = =The Bisy Backson = What or who is a **Bisy Backson**? The Bisy Backson, or in proper words "Busy, Back soon", gives a purpose to the state of being busy itself rather than having a meaning or working towards a tangible outcome. They are restless and take pride in being busy, so when Rabbit, the Bisy Backson, finds out that Christopher Robin, too, is busy, he is dissapointed, "He went back to the green front door, just to make sure, and he was turning away, //feeling that his morning had got all spoilt//..." (92) Bisy Backsons also have a habit of turning everything into //work.// For the Bisy Backson, even playtime and exercise could become a burden, because they are another workload. They consider the most simple activities to be an rigid obligation and responsibility. There is no rest for the busy, not because they are given work, but because they create work for themselves.

=Can We Save Time = "The Bisy Backson has practically no time at all, because he's too busy wasting it by trying to save it." (108) Busy people tend to keep bringing up new ways to save time, but why not spend this time that is used to develop these methods for other plans? In current society, there are many facilities that make it possible for us to "save" time, such as fast food restaurants, ATM machines, d rive thru's, etc. However, if these creations were really able to reserve more time for us, we would have much more time than we had years ago. But this is not the truth, humans lack more and more time as time goes by. **Time can not be** **saved**, it is just the matter of whether we spend our given time wisely without letting any of it go to waste. == =Achievement or the Process of Achieving? = Which is more exciting: counting down the days until Christmas, wondering what the presents under the tree would be, or actually unwrapping the present and receiving the present? It is the surely the latter. The happiness that comes from the object itself does not last long, but the anticipation and the joy of dreaming is ongoing. However, unlike the simplicity of awaiting to open Christmas presents, humans are unable to enjoy the process of achieving goals. They only put emphasis on the result of the achievement instead of enjoying themselves along the process of reaching their object. We fail to appreciate our whole life and instead, persist on the momentary happiness that comes to us when we achieve a goal.

=Youth Immoral = The Youth Immoral is the opposite of the Bisy Backson. The Bisy Backson grow old and worn out because of their tiring schedule. However in Taoism, they hold respect for the young. Often times they base their boks and stories on the young who are wise and discover the Secretes of Life. Many respected Taoists are said to have "... a long life of youthful appearance, outlook, and energy" (109). Their liveliness is earned by living a life directly opposite of the Bisy Backsons. "... if you want to be healthy, relaxed, and contented, just watch what a Bisy Backson does and then do the opposite" (95).
