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!!

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

13 August2008. diary

I love to read letter. I love to read diaries. It is short and straight to the point. I remember when I was in primary and secondary school, I write diaries. It is my treasure, my property. I write everything in my diary as it becomes my daily life. I do need to write it everyday as if there is something happen. (Include the one I admire, I hate) for me, that is the way to express myself and indeed, that the only way to make my self happy. In the letter that we read from John Keats to Fenny Brawne, we know that he is a sweet and lovely man. How I wish I am his fiancée, then I will get his entire lover letter and that will really drive me crazy. FALL in love with a man who is talented, a man who can write, will be the best thing ever has. WAHAHA (evil laugh)… However, The Andy Warhol Diaries, has the tone of cynical. He knows a lot of celebrity. I love the way he write his diary, straight and simply.

the prison's lesson

11^th August 2008. Our lesson today is about autobiography. “Auto” mean I while “biography” means depict a character’s life. Autobiography mean a person to depict his life and character. It contains reflection and introspection and is in public audience. Our text for today is Robben Island: The Dark Year ( The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela)

Nelson Mandela is a prisoner and has been apartheid to a place which is called Robben Island. He tells us about his prison life and how he deals with all the obstacles he faces in the prison. Robben Island is a big island and like what he say, he has to move from one place to another is like walking to another country. For me, I think reading Autobiography is interesting and entertaining. It sometime provides some knowledge’s of certain places like Robben Island, and that will spice up our curiosity. This may be an interesting topic to teach in class. Miss Dzeelfa wants us to come out with a lesson plan for this autobiography for this story. This can be a very interesting lesson. Students will like to know what will happen next and what obstacles they face. We can ask students to find out what they kind of obstacles that they are facing and we can also ask them to arrange the events according to the story chronologically. Drawing comics’ strips and writing a poem can be students’ post- reading activities. Asides from that, students can figure out how to fight for their freedom, how to design a plan to escape from the island, are the activities that can be carried out in the post reading activities.

The minority group...

Last week was a memorable day in my life. Classes were cancelled and we were asked to RUN to safe our life due to the horrible H1N1 virus. Commuter station was flooded. Bus was like a tin of sardine fish and peoples were like refugees carrying big bags running out from the campus. Today 6^th August, our tutorial session was about ethnic minority groups – the blacks and the red Indian. Talk about the term "minority group", it often occurs alongside a discourse of the rights which gained prominence in the 20th century. Peoples prone to have different treatment and discrimination may directly perceived by individual in a minority group. Langston Hughes was a black American poet or writer and he has a lot of great story of how his own people discriminate by the whites and he is the main character of our discussion today. But why do people discriminate others races? Their skin colour? Their attire, culture? Or their language?

It is an unfortunate situation when you are facing this circumstance. Most of the human population is drawn to its own race and language and cultural upbringing. It is in a human’s nature to be this way. Lets say you were raised solely by a white family, then you will respect all the white culture, but one day you moved to a different black neighborhood where no one knew you, you are in trouble because you don't have the same skin color, you would be considered offensive and appear to be mocking the black race. It would be the same if vice versa.

The same goes to Malaysia. Malaysia is a multicultural country where peoples hand in hand and stay together harmonically. Yes, we are lucky to be in Malaysia. However, when you come to a class, you will see people sitting in different group in their own ethnic. That is the culture of human being. White discriminate the black and the black will discriminate the white. Even the Red Indian has been discriminate by the white or the black. I do think that these are driven by the ancestor. What they did serve a very enormous impact for us. Get rid of the old history that happen in the pass, I think they cant respect each others as it will still be the same after hundred years.
