<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Based on your reading of the
novel, what aspects of the Igbo culture allow the British to take over?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since Sarawak has also
undergone colonisation, how has this affected aspects of culture in our
society?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Are there any changes
brought about in the lives of the indigenous tribes in Africa and Sarawak?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> Since
the novel is about the Igbo culture that has taken over by the colonization of
the British, I do think it is their firm of their own belief that plays
important role for the culture to last long. The Igbo people do not have strong
belief on their culture. For all this while, they are just practising it
because they are by generation practising the same culture. Once the mothers
give birth to twin children, they are sent to the Evil Forest to be buried
alive. For generation, they are just blindly believes that it is the right
thing to do. However, they do not have strong firm for that. So, when new
culture comes and somehow it makes them wonder what has been wrong in their
practise for all this while, they are easily moved and accept a better one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Furthermore,
I believe everyone has been given their sense of humanity by nature. Everybody
is able to think rationally without anyone tells them to do so. So, in this
case where it is in their culture the burying of the twin babies is compulsory
and practised in their culture, perhaps they know it is wrong and they might
have sympathy toward the mothers but just because their culture taught that is
what is supposed to do, they carry the practise without negotiating much. But
then, when the missionaries in a nice way teaching that it is not the right
thing to do, they might have thought all over again and reason well. That is
why the Igbo culture is easily moved by the British missionaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> The
colonization of the British has brought great impact to the culture in our
society. The people are taught about Christianity where they come to know the
Lord Jesus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-MY" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">After
Sarawak has been colonised, certain aspect of culture in the society has been
affected. One of them is the hunting of human’s heads by the Iban people. Long
time ago before the colonization of the British, they used to hunt people’s
head to be their collection; the more they get, the better. That is their
proud. However, when British took over, Christianity takes place and the people
are taught about God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The Igbo culture is a unique
culture that is rarely been exposed to the world. However, there are a lot of
opportunities that allows the British to take over. One of the aspects of the
Igbo culture that allows this to happen is through religion. The Igbo culture
believes in many God whereas the British, which are Christians, believe in only
one God. Therefore, this allows them to develop a stronger belief towards the Christian
religion. Furthermore, Christianity do not allow baby dumping and killing people
as a sacrifice. The British approach the Igbo people softly and at last they succeed
in dominating most of the culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Sarawak is also one of the states
in Malaysia that had undergone colonisation a few years ago. Therefore, there
are changes that can be seen clearly from the colonisation. The mix marriage in
Sarawak nowadays is a very common thing. European people got married to a
Sarawak people can be accepted in the society. The Christian religion also
spread in Sarawak because in the olden days, Sarawak people also believe in the
existence of many Gods. There are also changes in the law, whereas people do
not cut off the head of the people that had done wrong. The colonisation helps
the people in developing better rules so that everything is fair and not done
cruelly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-MY" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> As stated above, there are
many changes brought by the colonisation. People in indigenous tribe become
more civilized and better in terms of religion, laws and many more. In my
opinion, there are pros and cons brought by colonisation. Whether it is good or
bad, both teach a lesson for the people, which is to be more advanced than
other people from other countries so that we are not controlled by other people
from other countries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Even with the change of governance, the animals are eventually mistreated. How is it possible that the longing for good can turn awry when the person is in power for long?</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">In the case of Okonkwo, he is not painted as someone who is without fault. In fact, he is in many ways a tragic hero. Neither is he a person who is evil despite his part in killing Ikemefuna. Based on your understanding of him in the novel, reflect on the following questions:</span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> In the beginning of the story, Okonkwo was seen as a very respectable man. This is because in a young age, he managed to win a fight with a senior fighter. He also owns wealth with his own effort because other people know that he could not inherit any wealth from his father. However, after the missionaries came to Umofia, he started to lose all his glory and in the end he became a disappointment to his people. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> One of the characteristics that I can find in our nation's leader is the tendency to not follow the footsteps of other countries. In this story, Okonkwo does not give up and follow the missionaries and he fights for his people. This is one of the characteristics that I adored until now because this made Malaysia different from other people. </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Okonkwo had been a figure of inspiration
just only at the beginning of his success. His villagers look up at him because
he is the leader of the Igbo community of Umuofia. O</span><span class="apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">konkwo is renowned as a wrestler, a
fierce warrior, and a successful farmer of yams which known as a ’manly’ corps
in their community. He portrays all the masculine characters that a man should
possess because he does not want to looks weak like his father. His wives and
children are scared of him because he always isolates himself by exhibiting
anger through violent, stubborn and irrational behaviour. Okonkwo also had been
a figure of disappointment to his people. When the White came and spread
Christianity to their clan, he thinks that the changes are destroying the Igbo
culture. Okonkwa rashly kills a messenger from the British district office, his
clansmen back away in fear and he realizes that none of them support him and
that he can't save his village from the British colonists. He knows that he is
defeated. He commits suicide, a shameful and disgraceful death like his
father's.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

possessed the same characteristic as Okonkwo is Rentap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rentap was a Dayak rebel leader in Sarawak

Being a leader of the Iban there, he
wanted the Iban stay where they are and lives harmoniously so he fought for
their right to the land. He also had the spirit of a leader and warrior which
Okonkwo has.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I personally think that Okonkwo is a
great leader on his own way. After I read everything and gone through with the
character analysis, I come to the conclusion that he has done well for his
nation. When he was a young boy, he had to supply the needs for his family as
his father was a useless leader of the family. His father kept jolly around and
did not care much about the family. Even after the father’s death, he was
buried in the Evil Forest as he did not contribute anything to the society.
Since then, Okonkwo has this strong desire in his heart not to end up like his father,
a failure. He has struggled a lot along his way and we can see that he is such
an inspiring teenager when he has been trusted to plant a large amount of yam
by the leader of his village. He also has been the inspiration to the young
people when he has defeated the unbeatable person in his village, Amalinze the
Cat in a wrestling contest. This is seen great by the people as he is seen as
the strongest person in his clan, replacing the unbeatable, Amalinze the Cat. For
his whole life, Okonkwo rejects everything that his father has stood. Okonkwo
even marries three women and becomes the father of several children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin: 10.3pt 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">However,
he has brought disappointment to the people when he beats his wife during the
Week of Peace. He also ignores the warning from the leader of the clan to not
to kill his son, Ikemefuna. To make thing worse, he was then exiled from the
village after he accidentally killed the son of the leader of the clan during
his funeral ceremony. This is totally the beginning of his worst time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin: 10.3pt 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Okonkwo
also someone that is cannot adapt to changing. As the white men come to live
among the society, Okonkwo cannot be able to function anymore. His anger, rashness and violence finally have brought to
his own destruction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin: 10.3pt 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%;">In my place, there are a lot of leaders that have the characteristics
of Okonkwo. The prime minister also has struggled a lot to bring the country to
stand in the eyes of the world. As much as he wants to keep the tradition,
there is a lot that has to stand for. However, there are also some that are
just doing things right at the beginning. When things start to change, they
cannot handle it anymore.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin: 10.3pt 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%;">By, </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 200%; margin: 10.3pt 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%;">Angela Devung <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 200%;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px;">Okonkwo since the beginning has inspired the people of Umofia when he won the fight with one of the senior fighter and won the respect of the people around him. He was later being appointed as one of the leader. He inspired people to give their best and try to put in some effort in struggling in their life. As a leader he also inspired people to fight against the modernism and also against the new culture and religions that the missionaries bring in. Disappointment arrive when Okonkwo accidentally kill the son of his clansmen and he was exiled from his own fatherland. this show how people disappointed towards him for what he had done. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px;">I can see our country leader like Tun Dr Mahathir as an example of great leader. He managed the country well and also he have the hardest time but he managed to get through all those challenges. Tun like Okonkwo fight for their own people. When inflation happened in the world, country all around the globe struggling to get out of inflation and Tun have done a great job and our country save from the inflation and now we still managed to live well without any help from outside. </span></span></div>

Do you agree with him? In the case of Umuofia, do you think their native religion stunts their development? Is the 'new' religion seen as a way of bringing development to Umuofia?</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Apart from religion, superstitions play an important part in the Ibo culture. Do you have your own sets of superstitions which you find difficult to discard?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> In the Things Fall Apart novel, superstitions played an important role in the peoples' life. This is because they tend to be clouded by the superstitions that they believed in. For example, they kill twin babies because they think it is evil. They also make children as sacrifices. However, these are not the good superstitions and therefore I do not agree with all the bad things that they believe in. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> Superstitious beliefs and religions do affect the development of a country. This is because their mind will never be open to new development if they keep believing in something irrational such as the Evil Forest in The Things Fall Apart novel. They believe that the forest is evil, so any development could not be done there. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">A question to ponder upon..</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Think of your own country. Are there any superstitious beliefs which affect the development of the nation? Your own state?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">In Malaysia, each and everyone has their own religion. Until now, there are no cases of burying twin babies or sacrificing children to make anything happen. I strongly believe that superstitious beliefs that can affect the development of my country are not present in Malaysia. This also includes my state. However, what I can observe is that people of Malaysia are not as open-minded as other developed countries and that is for me, the greatest challenge that affect the development of the nation.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">The most unacceptable yet practiced belief of the Igbo people is the dumping of the twin babies. I strongly disagree with this because obviously, this is very cruel. However, this practice is still happening as they believe the twin babies bring bad luck to the society. The mothers must be so hurt by this but they are helpless as this is a culture that have to be practiced by hook or by crook. Another is practice of throwing away the bodies of those that don't excel and contribute much to the society during their lifetime to the Evil Forest. I think every person deserve the same treatment which by mean their bodies are perfectly buried even though they might be a failure during their lifetime. Besides, the women are also not allowed to go out but to stay at home and serve the family well. In Okonkwo's case, he even beats his wife when he knows that she's not preparing dinner but to go out to get her hair braided. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">However, when the new religion comes which by means the coming of the White people, I can see this as a great relief to those mothers that are carrying the twin babies. The babies are saved as this practice is strongly rejected based on the Christianity belief. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">In my society, the Kayan bride are not allowed to go to the house of the groom's family if they haven't married. This brings shame to the bride's family if she is doing so. Another one is the practice of not cutting hair at night. It is believed that the ghosts are wandering around at night and they are going to haunt them if they are doing so. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">As we are living in a multicultural country, I think the practices and cultures are greatly influence the economy as they are attractive to the tourists to come and experience by themselves. The practice of the Chinese people during the Chinese New Year by hanging the red lantern is one of the practices that I found attractive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify;">Therefore, we have to be proud of our own beliefs and live it so that the next generations know their root. </span></div>

For example, they believe that the members of the tribe that suffered from infirmities were seen as unclean. These people would not be buried, but be cast into the Evil Forest. Besides, during the Peace Week, Okonkwo commits a great sin when he beats his wife and in their superstitious and beliefs, it is believed that evil will fall upon the whole clan, so he must repent and sacrifice a lot. They also kill twin babies because they believed that it is evil which for me are not relevant. Because of their superstitious and belief, there are no development occurs in their country. They are blinded by their fear of the superstitious and belief until they are afraid to make any changes to their country and always lives in fear towards their belief.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The women in the novel Things Fall Apart are treated not equally in the novel because we can see how the society views women throughout the story. Yes, there are times where women seems to be protected and well taken care of, however, the power gap can still be seen clearly in the story. For example, Okonkwo can freely beat his wives and no one scolds him but in the Week of Peace, hitting the wife is forbidden and there are punishment to those who still does it. The fate of the young girl that is offered as sacrifice in the beginning of the story is quickly decided whereas the boy is still considered whether to be sacrificed or not. This is implementing that the life of female is not that important in the culture. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Some of the community members did not agree with the status quo, for example, during Okonkwo's exile, they were sent to his wife's motherland, and people there respects women. For example, Uchendu advises Okonkwo to be good to his wives. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> There are many contributions made in making sure the Igbo culture still survives. For example, the women gave birth to children, which if there are no women, there will be no addition to the number of people of the Igbo culture. Secondly, they take care of the children which is very important because if there were fewer women in the Igbo society, all the children will be sacrifices because the men does not seem to care about the welfare of the children that they killed.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Today, women are seen as valuable as the men because we can see women working and being in high position although a thin gap between these two gender still exists. Nowadays, women can even be the breadwinner of the family. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Question: Elfera, what is this gap that can still be seen between men and women?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; text-align: justify;">In ensuring the survival of the culture, what is their role as wives/mothers/daughters/leaders?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; text-align: justify;"> The gap between men and women can still be seen in our society. That is a fact that cannot be denied. Even though there a few of women leaders all around the world, their role as a female will still exist. This includes the taking care of the children, doing the household activities and obeying their husband. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; text-align: justify;"> To ensure the survival of culture, women, as mothers, must take care of their children because the mothers are always expected to take care of the children more than the father. As daughters, women should have a good education in order to ensure they have good education and be good leaders in the future</span></span><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">. While women w</span><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">ho are leaders should fight for female rights to ensure that female is highly regarded in the society. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
In the novel,
the women are not treated well especially by the protagonist, Okonkwo. The
culture in the village allow the men to get married to as many women as they
want to but the women have to have total loyalty toward the husband. Okonkwo
himself has four wives of his own and he is not treating them well. During the
week of peace, Okonkwo beats his wife hard. The culture of the Igbo people also
does not allow the women to go out and socialize but to stay at home to take
care of the husbands and the children.
Only the men have the responsibility to go out to find the needs of the
family. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Yes, I think
all the members in the community agree with status quo as it is clearly seen in
the novel. They do not allow the women to go out and socialize but the men have
the total freedom. Not just to go looking for foods perhaps, but they also have
been given the freedom to get married with as many women as they want.
Meanwhile, the women have to stay at home and have to have total loyalty to the
husband and serve them well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
The way the
women of the Igbo people are treated is not suitable with what they have been
doing. The women have given birth for the continuation of the generation of
Igbo people. The people should respect the women but they do not. The women
also have given total loyalty for the family by taking care of the children and
serve the husband well. They even do not allowed to go out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
In this
present world, the women have given a lot. They no longer have to stay at home
but also able to be the breadwinner of the family. Now, the women as the
leaders also can be seen everywhere. This has shown that the women are able to
stand the same level as the men. They should be respected and given the same
right as the men.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In the novel
Things Fall Apart, the women are not treated equally. <span style="background: white;">In Igbo culture, women are seen as the weaker sex. The dominant role for women
is to make a pure bride for an honorable man, to be a submissive wife and to
bear many children.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Even though
the women’s level is not as high as the men, they still play important roles in
the upbringing of the tribe. All the members in the community are agree with
the status quo because they believe that men are
responsible to be the leader of the family and should not look weak. The ideal
men provide for his family materially and have status on the battlefield. Okonkwo, is extremely concerned with being masculine and devalues
everything feminine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

There are issues which you might find troubling. You may even disagree with some of the actions taken by the characters in the novel. Your views are important and let not the various articles you've read swayed you into accepting them as gospel truths. Do question what you have read.</span><br />

culture is the reason why the British could take over. The British takes over
slowly through Christianity. The Igbo culture welcomed them and did not do
anything about the spreading of Christianity. They accept them and even allow
them to build a church in the Evil Forest. Therefore, I think the openness in
the Igbo culture gave the opportunity to the British to manipulate they’re
people and lastly, takes over. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span style="line-height: 115%;">It has brought good effects towards the
society. Sarawakian people that experienced the period of colonisation tend to
be fluent in the English language. This is because of the influence of the
language that was used by the colonizers. Furthermore, there are mix marriages
happening in Sarawak. For example, an Iban woman marries a foreigner. This creates
more multicultural diversities in Sarawak. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The aspects that the Igbo culture has which
caused to the downfall of the people are because of their obsession toward
their culture. For example, they allow the British to build a church in the
Evil forest. They think that they will not be able to stay for a long time in
the forest as they believe that the spirit in the Evil forest will punish them
for what they’ve done. They rely on the nature and their believe to take action
for punishing the White but as time goes by, the White successfully build the
church and that is the beginning of their downfall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Since Sarawak has also undergone colonization,
it does affect the aspects of culture in the society. This can be seen in the
aspect of language and mix marriage. During colonization, they had introduced
English language to the people and we can see that our ancestor or grandparents
that had experienced colonization before are very fluent when they speak in
English language. Besides that, mix marriage also emerged in Sarawak. We can
see that many local people married with the British people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

changes brought about in the lives of the indigenous tribes in Africa and
Sarawak. As we can see in Sarawak, the British had influenced a lot especially
in the education system and many more. As for Africa, the British has built clinics,
schools and churches for the people. From there we can see that many of them
starting to lead a healthy and useful life. </span></div>

country long time ago, it is proven that man rule by using religions. That is
where we can read, people identify their King or their ruler as the prophet or
the son of God. This method had been
used by the British to conquer people around the Globe by spreading the
Christianity to people that they </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">colonized</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> The Igbo people was blinded or being

for the Igbo people and the Igbo didn’t </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">realized</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> that slowly the British take
over the Igbo people culture and also their ministry. The British also use the
weakness of the Igbo culture and spread the Christianity where the new
religions is much better than the Igbo culture and this had attracted many
hearts to join Christianity. This
eventually leads to the goals of the British that is to take over the Igbo’s
people culture, religions and their ministry.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Sarawak society come from multiple of tribes and culture
which is differ from one another which represent their identity. So how does </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">colonization</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> affect them? Simple. Same situation with the Igbo people, they
bring in the Christianity and we can see that Sarawak are still dominant of
Christian religions and the British bring in their language and teach to the
local people. Surprisingly, some old folks can speak English well and far
better than the youngster today, this is because some of them have the chance
to enter school during the </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">colonization</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> time and they pick up the
language. We can say that, the British
use three methods to conquer people, through language, religions and their
culture. For example like the culture of wearing neck tie and suits to any
formal events. The old folks still </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">practice</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> this and they were very comfortable
in using suits because to them, this is the culture that have been taught to
them and how they should dress up and it is also a way to respect that
event by dressing up well. But the identity of the Sarawak people is
still untouched because the British want them to stay as what they are and not
let the local people to develop because it will affect them in conquering the
country.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Based on my reading on the novel “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe, I
believe that the aspects that bring to the downfall of the Igbo people is
because they do not have the strong belief in their culture. This might due to
the cruelty done in their culture. For example, the Igbo culture does not allow
twins to be born and raised up. Once the mother gives birth to twins, they will
be thrown to the Evil Forest. I believe that every human have a sense of humanity
in them by nature. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which mother does not
love her own children? So, from here I believe that deep down in their heart,
they know there is something wrong with the culture from the beginning but just
because they are living with that belief, they have to accept. Therefore, when
there is new belief introduced and it is much better, they accept it without
much compromise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sarawak also has undergone colonization hundreds years ago. It has affected
a lot of culture in the society. The obvious one that has been affected is the
religion itself, which is Christianity that has been brought by them.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a lot of Christians in Sarawak as compared to other states. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides, they also have changed the culture of the Iban people. Last time
before the colonization, it was the Iban culture to kill people and they were
proudly keeping the heads for collection. The more, the greater they were.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many of us have experienced what is
commonly referred to as a <b><a href="http://psychology.about.com/od/sigmundfreud/f/freudian-slip.htm"><span style="color: #3366cc; font-family: "inherit","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Freudian
slip</span></a></b>. These misstatements are believed to reveal underlying,
unconscious thoughts or feelings. Consider this example:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.9pt; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 18.0pt;">
<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">James has just started a new relationship with a
woman he met at school. While talking to her one afternoon, he accidentally
calls her by his ex-girlfriend's name.</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 14.9pt; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 18.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you were in this situation, how would you
explain this mistake? Many of us might blame the slip on distraction or
describe it as a simple accident. However, a psychoanalytic theorist might tell
you that this is much more than a random accident. The psychoanalytic view
holds that there are inner forces outside of your awareness that are directing
your behavior. For example, a psychoanalyst might say that James misspoke due
to unresolved feelings for his ex or perhaps because of misgivings about his
new relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

therapy and the research methodology he used to develop his theories. Freud

formed his theory of personality development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

at any time and brought into our awareness. Freud called this ordinary memory
the <a href="http://psychology.about.com/od/pindex/g/def_precons.htm"><span style="color: #3366cc; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">preconscious.</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our
conscious awareness. Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable
or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict. According to
Freud, the unconscious continues to influence our behavior and experience, even
though we are unaware of these underlying influences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 24.85pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
story of a little place off the Edgware Road is about Craven who had been
haunted by his dreams of dead bodies that does not decay and will rise again
and walk in the world like a normal person. He had this same dream for three
times. Craven means coward. From our discussion, we agreed that actually Craven
unconscious mind is affected by his conscious mind. In the psychoanalytic theory,
we can say that Craven had this experience of seeing people nearly murdered but
he did not tell anybody or call the police. He was traumatized by this experience,
so he always thinks about it and dream about it many times. So, when he walked
through the Edgware Road, his fear came, and he imagined that he saw the dead
man that he saw have been killed, talking to him. He called the police immediately
because he knows that it is the right thing to do from the first place. His unconscious
mind encourages him to do so. We can conclude here that he acts this way not
because he is mentally ill, but he had this experience before, so he tries to
do the right thing unconsciously. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The police
had found the murderer but they didn’t find the dead body because we believe
that he hid the dead bodies from the world and also hide it from his sight.
This is because he is traumatized from seeing a dead body and it had the
connection with the dream that haunted him and the blood stain on his hand show
that he is the one who hides the dead body. There is no specific opinion or
view about the story because it can be interpreted from various kind of views
and theories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> This poem shows the two contrasting
views of love from different person. From this poem, we can assume that there
are two participants and maybe we can say that the Clod is a female and the
Pebble is a male. If we see this poem from a context of sexual love, we see
that the Clod shows love with the concept of giving that belongs to women but
Pebble shows a selfish love which related with the concept of receiving mostly
belongs to men.</span>These points of views are true indeed
as both of them can be experienced in the real life. When we fall in love, our
relationship can be good (giving) or bad (selfish love). It is us who determines
which relationship we are in.</div>

Frampton Nuttel because she keeps accompany him while he waits for Mrs.
Sappleton to appear even though she is manipulating her uncle with her fake

a Malaysian should not telling lies to their guests and someone they first meet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> The chapter that I like the most in the novel “Things Fall
Apart” by Chinua Achebe is chapter eleven. I like this chapter the most because
it is very interesting if it is compared to the other chapters of this novel. The
chapter eleven starts with the story of a cunning tortoise by Ekwefi. I like the story as
it gives a lot of moral values to the readers such as never be greedy and never
trust a stranger. In this chapter, we can see Ekwefi’s love towards her
daughter Enzinma. When Chielo brought Enzinma to see the Agbala, she follows
her although she knows that action is very dangerous for her. However she still
insists to follow Chielo. We can see the how big is mother’s love towards us.
This particular situation touches my heart. In this chapter we can also see
Okwonko’s soft side. He cares for his daughter Enzinma and also his wife as he
follows Ekwefi as well. From the beginning of the story, we see the manly side
of Okwonko, however in this chapter, we can see that Okwonko is a very caring
father and husband. </span></span></span><br />

gothic element is defined as the gloom and mystery and the grotesque in a story
from my own understanding. From my reading, I found out that gothic element was
shown in the novel “Things Fall Apart” by the Igbo beliefs. They believe in
sacrificial of human. They believe this action will give them good fortune. In
addition, the Igbo believes that the wooden statuary is an active
representation of spirits, and are used as a medium of communication with the
spirit world. They also worship Ikenga figures. It is kept in personal shrine
by successful men and women. The word shrine was stated in the novel. The other
ritual was also mentioned in the novel.</span></span></div>

that is why I see it as very ironic.</span></span></div>

in the novel “Things Fall Apart” is Okonkwo. I admire him for many of his
positive attitudes. In the novel, Okwonko ia a very hardworking person. He rise
from the bottom. At first he was only a poor and ordinary person. However,
after he was given the yam seeds by Nwakibie, he worked hard and become a
successful man in Umofia. He also shows responsibility. At the young age, he is
the one who supported his mother and sister although it is his father’s duty.
Okwonko also shows great strength when he successfully beat Amalinze The Cat in
a wrestling match. Although Okwonko is seen as having more bad qualities than
good qualities, it is still acceptable because he is just filling his culture
expectations for a man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

culture between my culture is their do’s and don’t’s in the night time. The
African culture forbid children to go out at night time because they believe
that something bad will happen whereas my culture also believes that. Children are
not allowed to wonder out at night because there might be a danger. The African
culture also expects a man to be tough and strong like Okwonko. My culture also
expects the same. Man are supposed to be strong and take care of the family.
The differences between the African culture and mine is that in African culture
they need to do sacrifition of human whereas in my culture, there is no such
thing as human sacrifition. In my culture, a man cannot have more than one wife
except he is already divorced. However in African culture, they can have more wife
if they want</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">to.</span> </span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
character that I admire most in the novel “Things Fall Apart” is Okwonko. I
admire him for many of his positive attitudes. In the novel, Okwonko is a very
hardworking person. He rose from bottom to top. At first he was only a poor and
ordinary person. However, after he was given the yam seeds by Nwakibie, he
worked hard and became a successful man. Okwonko had three wives,many children
and a huge yam plantation. People
respect him for the success of taking care of his family and for thehuge
plantation which he worked so hard at until it becomes huge. This success
earned Okonkwo the high status of representing his village as the second
egwugwu, as well as the respect of all of Umuofia. He is also very responsible.
He takes care of his mother and sister at the young age because his father was
unable to do it. In chapter three there was mentioned that Okwonko supports his
family by building a barn through share cropping. That managed to help the
family however the mother and sister did not plant yams. The plant coconut,
yam, beans and cassava. It can be seen here that Okwonko was the one who worked
hard to make sure his family survived. He is therefore responsible towards his
family. Okwonko also shows great strength whe he successfully beat Amalinze The
Cat in a wrestling match in the age of eighteen. Although the qualities did not
last until the end of the story it still does not change my opinion about
Okwonko.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
similarity of the African culture and my culture is that both culture forbid
children to go out at night. This is to ensure that nothing bad happen to the
children. In addition, the African culture and my culture expects a man to be
tough and strong like what Okwonko portrayed in this novel at the beginning of
the story. The difference between African culture and my culture is that In
African culture; yam is their main plantation and was important to them just
like Okwonko who worked hard for his yam plantation whereas my culture’s main
plantation is rice. It is the largest carbohydrate source of food. All the
other cultural activities such as sacrificial and worshipping of many spirits
is just the same as my culture a long time ago. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

audience. In this career, you must memorize lines and actions from a script and
perform them in the manner of the character you're portraying. This job
requires you to research characters, study script dialogue and rehearse
performances so you may give an accurate character portrayal. You may confer
with other actors and directors as to the emotions, gestures and facial
expressions your character might display. Depending upon what is called for in
the script, you may deliver comedic performances or be required to act, sing
and dance in a production.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Monday, we watched the King Lear play act 4. I found the act very interesting than all the past 3 acts because the place setting were different from the other acts. I found the interesting scene of this act is where Goneril and Regan seems to have conflict about who will have Edmund. I like this part because I dislike Goneril and Regan’s character from the first act. They had been very rude towards their father. This conflict may become the first step towards the destruction of their sisterly relationship. I believe that what goes around, comes around and what will happen to Goneril and Regan next is the revenge that they will get for being cruel towards their father.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">4. There will be no much difference even the setting will be change to the north. After the abolition of slavery in the United States, The Supreme Court handed down a series of decision regarded by many second-class citizen, blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed force and also school in both Northern and Southern states and this separation was legal by the Supreme Court. Plus, the separation is not equal for both race. So, no matter where the setting is, whether in North or South, the racial segregation still the same.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">If the setting is to changed to today’s world, I think there is less racial segregation happened. Not to denying that there is some place where segregation of racial still took place.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">“Our Constitution makes it clear that people of all races must be treated equally under the law. Yet we know that our society has not fully achieved that ideal. Racial prejudice is a reality in America. It hurts many of our citizens. As a nation, as a government, as individuals, we must be vigilant in responding to prejudice wherever we find it…[w]e should not be satisfied with the current numbers of minorities on American college campuses. Much progress has been made; much more is needed…and because we’re committed to racial justice, we must make sure that America’s public schools offer a quality education to every child from every background…. America’s long experience with the segregation we have put behind us and the racial discrimination we still struggle to overcome requires a special effort to make real the promise of equal opportunity for all.”</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">This is George W. Bush speech when he was the President. All we can see that, he is trying to solve this racial segregation matter. So, if the play is being perform and we changed their setting to today’s setting, the racial segregation will not look too obvious in the play.</b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">5. From these lines, I find that at the period of times, it is weird to see a family or groups of black people dine out and it is useless for the black if they have many brilliant ideas because they have less opportunity to speak their mind. From this situation, we understand that Marge is alluding to segregation. This can be seen in line 39. It show that she is alluding to segregations as she look downs on her own people. She disagree with her mother going to the White area and she always think that black people always lower than white people even the ideas is brilliant.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Question 6: Does Mrs. Carter think of herself as a racist? Do you agree with her assessment of herself?</b></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">No. Instead of a racist, she thinks herself as a tolerant and liberal person in her way of thinking.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">I don't agree with her assessment of herself. This is proven from her conversation with Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Carter worries about her brother, who is an unsuccessful novelist. He writes about a culture that he neither understands nor is capable of experiencing, which may be why his books do not sell. Mama tries to explain that the story Mrs Carter's brother is telling is not true, but Mrs. Carter rejects this explanation. Mrs. Carter cannot accept that a black woman could know more than her white brother. Mrs. Carter also believes that she is doing a good deed in arranging for a black woman to work as a servant. </b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">7. What causes Mama
to disagree with Mrs. Carter about her brother’s book? What does this
disagreement tell the audience about both characters?<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Mama disagree with Mrs. Carter
brother’s book because she had a friend that
is not ashamed to say that she is a Negro women although people thought she is
a white women whereas Mrs. Carter brother’s book is about a girl that feels
ashamed of herself because she is a Negro and commit suicide.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">This disagreement tell the audience
that both character have different points of view. Mrs. Carter thinks it is true that black people
are ashamed of themselves whereas Mama thinks that black people do not feel
ashamed but proud of themselves.<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">8. Does Mama’s view of Mrs. Carter change or remain the same
as the plot develops? Why does Mama ask Mrs. Carter to help Florence? What does
she learn that causes her to reject the “help” that Mrs. Carter offers?<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">As the plot develops, Mama’s view of Mrs. Carter does change
because at the beginning of the story, Mama is convinced with her, thinking that she does need to stop Florence
because of Mrs. Carter’s advise but at the end of the story, she started to
dislike her because she discovered that Mrs. Carter is racist and she did not care about Mrs. Carter
anymore. She then went home.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Mama asks Mrs. Carter to help
Florence because Mrs. Carter told Mama that she knows many people that is in
the acting bussiness , so Mama think that Mrs. Carter might help her by
introducing Florence to the people that Mrs. Carter knows so that Florence can
pursue her dream.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">She learnt that the “help” that

At the same time, we had been asked to make a book cover of that play. It was such an enjoyable assignment to be done. We searched on the black and white people image in the internet and we found out one that is attractive enough and brings meaningful explanation to our book cover. We learnt that the color, font and the chosen images play an important roles in resulting an excellent book cover. With the help of all the compliments given by our lecturer, we hope that we can improve ourselves in the next task.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We’ve been asked to make a book cover of a play “Florence”
by Alice Childress. For me, the best book cover must amaze the readers and
attract their attention to read the book. The book cover ought to reflect that
one idea clearly. As for our book cover, we can see black women which express
the mood and overall tone of the play, different colors that bring different
meaning and also the font. We learned that the chosen of the images, color and
font are important for a good result of a book cover. Hope we can improve
ourselves next time. >.<<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: purple; line-height: 18px;">Yes, I will be willing to spend my money watching an excellent drama.

</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 25px;"> An excellent drama is a drama that can make me laugh hard or cry while watching it. It must has good actors and actresses that can act professionally. Good script, setting and good costumes. If a play has all these features, I would not hesitate to spend my money. I never cried just because of a drama or a movie before. I really hope that someday a play can make my tears drop. If the play is just a plain and dull, it is just a waste of time and money.</span></span><br />

English studies is one of the subject that I enjoyed studying during this semester. This subject is special in its own way. With Mr. Camillus Ong, my lecturer who is unpredictable and knowledgeable who made the lectures very interesting.<br />
<br />
During lectures we were supposed to analyse short stories. Almost all of the short stories has either a sad or a tragic ending. Death, sorrow and gloomy. A part of them, my knowledge of literature expanded. From my secondary school, I have learned a few literary devices. But this class opened my eyes. I thought I've learned everything back then but actually there are more than 20 literary devices. I am glad that I entered this class. The short story I like the most is "Lamb To The Slaughter". I love the way how the story line goes. It is very smooth and made me feel interested to finish the story. It is a very interesting story indeed.<br />
<br />
Besides short stories, me and my course mates analysed poems too. But it is very sad for me because i could not join the class.<br />

I hope for the next semester i will learn this subject again with the same lecturer.<br />

What do you say, sir???<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>After analysis 10 short story and 12 poems, I do find that a lot of literature input. From the story of an hour to the extra reading short story, the chrysanthemums. A lot of style and themes had been present by the author. A lot of hidden message had been inserted in the short story. Some of the writing is influence by the West and East culture.<span> </span>To understand the writing, I had realised that a little knowledge on the background of the author and the time and situation during the writing is needed in order to understand the writing and the issue being press in it. My favourite short story is “ The Jade Bracelet” by Mary Frances Chong. Mary is an Malaysian writer. She project the culture of Chinese and the suffering of a typical Chinese women in her writing. As we proceed into the poems, we analysis 12 poems, I realised that there are only two main themes in it, love and death. I do find the joy in analysis all the poems as for me, it required me to do a lot of research on the poems, from background of the poem and purpose of writing. Most of the poems are difficult to understand but a lot of research will help in understanding the poems. Overall, this course had open my view on the field of English. Now I realised that literature is fun. We can express our self freely. Do enjoy literature.!! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span>J</span></span> <span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span><br />

I had been presenting a few of poems and short stories in front of the class with my other group members. It was such a meaningful learning process. To be honest, I was not interested into literature. I love reading stories but I never have sense to learn them deeper. However, after undergone a have-to-learn months, I have been changed. I started to learn seeing from different perspectives. I learnt how the background of the writer may affect the writing. Now, English Study is my favorite subject. Moreover, Mr. Camillus is the best lecturer for this course. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: magenta; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Standing in front of the class to present used to frighten me. I was a type of girl that lacked self-confidence. However, the experiences of presented for the past few months is enough to increase my level of self-confidence. My course mates are also very cooperative and did help a lot during the presentation. They learnt and responded to our slides. The background of our presentation was also being commented for several times. From the comments, I learnt on how the background of a presentation should be. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: magenta; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">After done a lot of researches, I learnt that literature is a good way to express the feeling. Sometime, there is something in our heart that is cannot be expressed by words. This is the situation where literature should be the best tool to express those. I learnt to practice critical thinking in my daily life. For an example, I learnt that death is not something bad. I learnt this in a poem ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Don’t Go Gentle into That Good Night</i>.’ </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: magenta; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As a conclusion, literature is my best teacher. It taught me a lot about life. I hope I can improve myself in many aspects of life as time passing by.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;"><br />

To be honest, it is such a hard lesson to learn but I have try my very best to understand it and love it since I am not interested in literature. Luckily, I have very cooperative yet playful group members and they help me a lot during our discussion and presentation. We had learnt about short stories and poems in the past three and a half month and for me it is very fun to learn literature. Mr. Camillus had explained a lot to us regarding all of the short stories and poems.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Presentation is one of my enemy since I am lack of confident when it comes to talk in front of many people. Thank God, I have very supportive group members. They encourage me and I feel like I have changed a lot. I am more confident to come in front and present but I still do not speak a lot. I just read what was on the slide because most of the time Albinus will explain it. For now we have done three presentation and we manage to do it quite well. Honestly, there are some mistakes on our slide such as spelling error and wrong pronunciation, but Mr. Camillus reprimand and correcting our mistakes. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I understand that every short stories and poems have it deeper meaning. Before, I just read short stories and poems without have the interest to know deeper about it, who wrote it, what it implies to and what it means to the writer. But, after i going through three and a half months learning lesson, I realize that different short stories and poems implies different meaning and moral values but some of it have the same theme such as death. During our lesson, A Rose for Family, The Story of an Hour, Lamb to the Slaughter, Suicide Notes and Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night brings the same theme which is death but it still have different meaning. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I hope that I can improve much better in English Studies next time and manage to make my own poem. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> By,</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Kelly Katty Jameson</span></span></div>Titania_Titanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15646673913335343722noreply@blogger.com0
