Today, Ms Malyana teaches us about sonnet.In my opinion, sonnet is not really easy to understand.The words William Shakespeare used are really not use a daily use here in Singapore not unless that person studies literature.The sonnet for today we did not have time to finish it.As the class was so noisy.It`s truly irritating & frustrating to study or even listen.

Claudius directs Gertrude to try to learn the cause of Hamlet’s odd behavior; they suspect it is the old king’s death and their own recent marriage.

The Mercy of God are:Buddhist:
Let thousands of people receive the light of mercifulness
Let thousands of people bathe in the great grace of human
Let thousand of people transceed from the sea of suffering
Do not compare with others
Do not compete with others
Establish the right of objectives
Do not hesitate and hinder yourself
Accept the suffering and live with the suffering
Christian:
Gods loves someone
No matter how many times someone sins against him,
he gives us the chances
For his glory and he endures forever
A love that outdoes wrong and a loves that covers multiples of sin
Hindus:
Hindus believes in reincarnation and karma
Hindus are expected merciful like Brahma,
Who is himself merciful
Muslim:
Allah lets us repent our sins as long as we pray to him
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.
