This blog post is supposed to be about unseen passages. SO here it is. Generally unseen passages are hard, so why would they test us on this? It's stupid, really... Students look at the paper and they go " What the... How am I supposed to do this? This is so hard!"
Unseen passages are supposed to be like that. Teachers purposely pick hard passages so that they can fail kids (not really). You can read a passage for 1 month and score better than to look at a passage for 10 minutes and than attempt it straightaway. I mean, if you give the class a passage for the test 3 months ago, you can set the paper how hard you want it, right? This would please the teachers to set questions higher than the kids standards, right? ( Please dont take this seiously...)

Romeo and Juliet perfomance
Yes, the Romeo and Juliet performance, supposedly counting for 70% of our final year literature grade. It is basically something about acting and drama. It is quite difficult to act out something that we have not seen before, and the script is full of ancient words that is hard to understand. Also, the props and costumes are expensive, basically, the school just wantts us to waste money for a few marks, i call that daylight robbery. The acting space is so small that we did not have enough space to fit all our props in the full dress rehearsal, but luckily, the sound echoed throughout the room so that the video camera can hear our voices clearly. I am playing the role of tybalt, which is a capulet that wants to kill Romeo but is stopped by capulet. This role includes loud voices which is a pain, really. Why can't we have normal scripts that have normal english languages, so that it'd be easier to understand? Anyway, I wish everyone good luck. They need it.

The Singapore Funeral Commercical
My literature teacher showed us this commercial, then gave us several questions to answer(opinion) about this commercial.
Question 1: Why did the author choose mixed race couple?
The author chose a mixed race couple as Sinagpore is a multi-racial country which emphasizes on racial harmony. So the author wants to influence the people of Singapore that Singapore is not a country that cannot tolerate mixed race couple, so the author does this to show the people how civilized we are.
Question 2: Why did the author concentrate on bad traits?
The author decided to concentrate on the bad traits on the video as it is to tell us that it is not the perfect traits that we remember in a loved one when they pass away, but the little imperfections that they have that stays etched in your mind.
Question 3: Is if effective in promoting family values?
Yes in a few ways. You see , this is only effective in remembering your family after they have passed away, not in any other family values, other than remembering them for what they were in life, but is there any more family values in this?

What I like about a character in a storybook/movie
I like the character Po in the animated movie Kung Fu panda 1 and 2, voiced by Jack Black. What I like about Po is that he is the chosen one, but he is big-sized, which makes it hard for him to do any kung fu, since he is not a natural athelete, so he has a though small, but mean and tough teacher who dislikes him, which makes it even harder since well, the teacher is making life hard for him. At first there was not much progress as the training was too tough for Po, but Po did not give up and continued training, so this paid off eventually as his teacher finally found the way to train him , what i like about PO is that he has a lot of determination and never Gives up, so this is why i like this movie.
