Theater again

Today is our big day. After a small introduction of the parody by Miss Dzeelfa, all of our groups start to perform their parody. All of my classmates are so creative. They really have made a good attempt in designing a great story. I like the story act by Racheal’s group: Beauty and the Beast. It is nice and fun. Jolyne’s group also has made a good plot. They do it in a scary movie way. They fit in 3 tales to make it one. The Thumbelina from Simo’s group put in a lot of laughing stock in their story. Others group also make a very good performance. I really enjoy it. Sweet and nice.

Paroday

Parody usually uses in contemporary work. It works to create mock, comment or some others target by means of humorous. Today, we learn a few bedtime stories that had been parodies. Some of the stories were ridiculous and funny. But I do love the snow white version. The prince ended up open a spa with snow white and chased the seven dwarfs out from the house. Miss Dzeelfa assigns us to work in a group of 7, and come out with a parody, and act it out on next Tuesday. No doubt, our classmates are all actor and actress and they are all very excited when they receive the task. We all started to create story, come out with tales and change it to weird story line and ending, my group consists of 7 members, and we come out with the story, ‘The Ugly Duckling’ We change the story line a bit and turn the ugly duck to be cute and adorable duck, but ugly. So, there are 6 ducks in the pond where only 1 of it is ugly. He is alone on the other side of the pond because he can’t fit in to the group. The other 5 ducks are so bad and they keep back stepping the ugly one. There is one of the duck among the 5 which is kind and good refuse to listen to them and she tries to be friend with the ugly duck. The others 5 are jealous of her and started to talk bad about her too. This time, they come out a plan and want to break them off. They go to the ugly duck and talk bad about the little kind duck. The ungrateful duck after listen to their groundless complains, he ran away from the kind duck and leaves her alone in the other side of the pond. He himself joins the evil duck group. What an ungrateful duck. The End!!

Hurroy

Finished my position paper, and passed up to Miss Dzeelfa. Gosh, finally I had finished my assignment. From the starting of finding a story to provide a nice stand for the story, then my first draft, second draft, and third draft, finally, I can passed it up to my beloved lecturer. This is a tough journey and it’s like climbing a mountain. I struggle, I knock, I fall, but I keep going. At last, I reach the top and I success… I am standing on top of the mountain where I had passed up my paper. It makes me feel that life is great!!! Life is good and challenge. Oh well, assignment sometimes do make feel weird. I love them, but at the same time, I hate them. Good try Min HUi…

presentation

Miss Dzeelfa class for this week is about presentation of our position paper. Each and every one of us has to present our stand that we use for our work and adding in our supporting details to support our stand. As usual, everyone in our class have a better workout in our right brain as all come out with creative stand. In my opinion, i think they are artistic as they can come out something very surprising in their stand. I do enjoyed listening to people’s stand as they are so significant to me since if I get the topic, maybe I would write it in another way. As for myself, I choose the story “ The Storm” and my stand is ADULTERY IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON AND DOES NOT NECESSARY HAVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE. But, my stand only can uses in the story as everyone knows that adultery cant happen in real life as it is a sin, a crime, a humiliation of a man or woman. Although when I present, I can see faces from the floor bitching about me, but, that is my opinion and I think its work as long as I give the supporting details. Strongly stand firm on my stand.

my position paper

What would you do if you have an affair with your next door “hot” mom, or handsome husband? What is you reaction when your adulterous act have been revealed by the society? My position paper entitled ‘The Storm’ by Kate Chopin. The story involves two families, which include Bobinot, Calixta, and Bibi, as well as Alcee, Clarisse, and their babies. At the beginning of the story, Calixta is alone at home waiting for her husband while doing household. Everything is calm and Calixta doesn’t even realize it is raining. However, when Alcee asks for a shelter in Calixta’s house, the rain suddenly beat upon the low. The setting of the story changes from outdoor to indoor as the storm increases quickly and thus drives Alcee into the house. This has also led to the readers’ anticipation that they will have an affair during the storm.

Kate Chopin uses her feminist view points to show that a woman speak with exceptional openness about human sexuality. The woman in the story, who has buried her emotional with house chore, tend to one night stand with her ex- boyfriend, but end up with no negative consequence. So in my opinion, I was thinking whether can make a stand that can support the adultery act. In a nut shell, I choose my title as adultery is a natural phenomenon and does not necessarily have negative consequence
