Let thousand of people transceed from the sea of suffering

A love that outdoes wrong and a loves that covers multiples of sin

and begs for his forgiveness through our daily prayers.
Then we move on to learning more about Romeo & Juliet.We are to learnt about the imagery of them.We are to use words to replace them.We focus more on Romeo first long dialogue.
Words:
-Similes
-Personification
The second lesson we learn more about the founding fathers of Singapore.We were to do an activity on them & in pairs.There are 15 question on them.In pairs we have to go everywhere together.

In my opinion, without these people as our Singapore founding fathers, Singapore will not be known or prosperous like now.They are the one who helps us stop racial riots by working together as one.we are to defend our country together "regardless of race, language & religion.".The quoted phrase is part of the Singapore pledge.

Term 1 Week 7 Learning Log

The following week our class are going to be learning about Romeo & Juliet...I can`t wait!!!
THERE WILL ALSO BE MORE MYSTERY ABOUT THIS STORY & QUESTION??????!!!!

Term 1 Week 7 Learning Log

This week our class are to learn more closely about "The Merchant Of Venice".We learn something interesting.
We are to learn about:
-revenge
-prejudice/racism
-the quality of mercy is an act of god.
This week Mr Chua teaches us about it.He says that different people has their own opinion about it.To me I agreed on the this.There are questions to be answer as our own reflection.
The questions are:
1)Do we have the right to punish other people if they insult our religion?(ourself)
2)Does Shylock have the right to murder Antonio when he insulted him?(character)
In my opinion,at first thought was I have the right to take my revenge & punish people who insulted my religion but after Mr Chua said something that me think again & had a second thought.At my second thought is that I do not have the right anyway because punishing other people by taking their life is wrong.This is wrong as we end other people life will not make us feel good but even worse.I cannot change other people character towards something,they must be willing to do it themselves inorder to change.

We also learn about the thing that had been confiscated when Shylock loss in the end.
The things that is confiscated are:
-half of his money to be given to Antonio
-make a will for when he dies all his possesion is to be given to his son-in-law & daughter
-he is to become a Christian
3)Do they have the right to force Shylock to be a Christian????!!!
In my opinion, they do not have the right to force shylock to be Christian.It is because everyone has the right to believe whatever they believe in.Shylock wants to believe his religion as a Jew.Let him be so because he has the right to believe also.

Term 1 Week 6 Learning Log

This week our class is focusing on Antonio`s & Shylock`s character & scene.We are to learn what happened before the court scene where Shylock fought for his right.We are to learn the argument between Antonio & Shylock.So this mysterious questions is ask again:
1)Who is the villain or hero?!
2)Does Shylock had the right to demand from Antonio?!
...........
Court scene
My answer is Shylock is the villain while Antonio is the hero.No.Shylock had no right to demand from Antonio...."WHY"!!!!...MYSTERY....
Shylock has no right because even though Antonio lend the money from Shylock is not he who is the one using it.Right?Bassanio had even want to pay thrice the sum.

Before the court scene
Noooo......The answer is Antonio is the villain while Shylock is the hero.Shylock had the right to demand from Antonio..."WHY"!!!!teng..teng..teng.....
During the earlier scene when Antonio was lending money from Shylock.From this scene is hatred had been shown by Antonio causing Shylock to seek his revenge.It was because Antonio hated the Jewish nation.It was also because Antonio insulted Shylock by calling him a misbeliever,cut-throat dog & spits upon his Jewish clothes.Antonio spits upon Shylock clothes because of his work as a moneylender a.k.a loanshark.
SHOCKING,HUH?!

Term 1 Week 5 Learning Log

Before our literature lesson even begin,we were punished by Mr Tyrus.The others were going in & out of the classroom without a teachers permission.We all had to go down to the grass patch for lesson.All thanks to them.The sun was not fully seen that afternoon.Fortunately, the sun was partially out.God was on our side.

On this lesson we learn an important quality that is FRIENDSHIP.

For me , the most important quality a friend must have is Honest,Loyalty,Sacrifice.Honest because they are to tell you the truth even though sometimes the truth hurts our feeling,but is for your own good.Loyalty because when you need in bad/bitter time there are there for comfort or support.During happy times they are there to share our joy.To have bittersweet memories with them.Sacrifice because then you will know that the he/she really cares for you in times of crisis.They will do anything to help.

This week assignment is to create a friendship card,for your best friend.My best friend's name Amy Amilia.I had known her since secondary one.Our first year in Evergreen Secondary School last year.I like her personality.She is helpful , organize but also tempermental.We sometimes can be stubborn at times.we also practice to give & take.She the class chairperson.When she starts to get frustrated she is irritating.We sometimes really gets on each others nerves.I apologize , but being honest is what I do.
