Literature class

On his first day of classes at

a university, a student took a front row seat in a literature course.

The professor told them they would be responsible for reading five books, and that he would provide them with a list of authors from which they could choose.

Then the professor ambled over to the lectern, took out his class notes and began ... "Baker, Black, Brooks, Carter, Cook ... "

The student was working feverishly to get down all the names, when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

The student in back of him whispered, "He's taking attendance."

Alright, this week we were going through the next scene. This scene two involved Younger Elvis and his mother(Gladys Presley). For this scene Elvis laughed happily as he loved his mother very deeply. They both have a very close relationship. He bought a Pink Cardillac. He is the only one that has a car while tha other neighbours do not. Gladys feels that Elvis was very silly because he only look at the instead of driving it. Anyway he owned it why was he not driving it. He will do anything for his mother even putting chandeliers in the bathroom.

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love is something that no on can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfishand enduring come what mayFor nothing can destroy itor take that love away . . .It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falterseven though the heart is breaking . . .It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns, And it glows with all the beautyof the rarest, brightest gems . . .It is far beyond defining,it defies all explanation,And it still remains a secretlike the mysteries of creation . . . A many splendoured miracleman cannot understandAnd another wondrous evidenceof God's tender guiding hand.

In this week, our class learn more about Elvis. In the first scene about how he laughed when he said about two of his friend Duke and Gerry. He laughed mockingly that suggest he had a bad opinion about both of them. When Redhead wanted to talk with Elvis , he seem to pushed her away. This seems to suggest that he was not really interested in the conversation. Elvis was not a good boyfriend because his behaviour toward Redhead was cruel, cold and unconcern at all. But Redhead was not behaving liked this towards Elvis. Instead she was very caring, polite and felt pity for him. Elvis does not care about Redhead at all. When Redhead wanted to talked to him. He answered "Wanna gold watch?Cardillac?Wha` d` y`want, honey?". This suggest that he only think that Redhead wants his money. She still continued saying that she wanted to speak to him. He answered "Yeah, sure, see you later, hon.Got things to do.". This really shows he was not interested in the conversation.

He reaches in the attache case to take out the pills. Those pills were drugs from his friend Duke and Gerry. Redhead slammed the lid of the attache case to prevent him from taking the drugs to feed his addiction. This really shows that she really cared about Elvis even though treated her feelings badly.

Last week, was the first week our class had started to acknowledge the most famous American singer. Elvis Aaron Presley(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll"orn in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954 or simply "the King".He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. Conscripted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He staged few concerts, however, and, guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided.

Elvis Presley 's only child, Lisa Marie, was born on February 1, 1968, during a period when he had grown deeply unhappy with his career. Presley 's divorce took effect on October 9, 1973. He was now becoming increasingly unwell. Twice during the year he overdosed on barbiturates, spending three days in a coma in his hotel suite after the first incident. Toward the end of 1973, he was hospitalized, semi comatose from the effects of Demerol addiction.

This week we did not learn much either. So lets continue on the literature history.

THE POEMS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
William Shakespeare is referred to as a Literary Genius and much of this praise is due to the wonderful words of his short sonnet poems and his extended poems as detailed on this page. He is the most widely read author in the whole of the Western World - his poems and quotes from poems are familiar to everyone. William Shakespeare also wrote a lot of sonnets .William Shakespeare had wrote the following sonnet:
These are one pieces of it. but actually there are more of it.
1)"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?":
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Literature in SINGAPORE.........
Singaporean literature in English started with the Straits-born Chinese community in the colonial era; it is unclear which was the first work of literature in English published in Singapore, but there is evidence of Singapore literature published as early as the 1830s. With the independence of Singapore in 1965, a new wave of Singapore writing emerged, led by Edwin Thumboo , Arthur Yap, Robert Yeo , Goh Poh Seng , Lee Tzu Pheng and Chandran Nair. It is telling that many critical essays on Singapore literature name Thumboo's generation, rightly oThere were varying levels of activity in succeeding decades, with poets in the late 1980s and early 1990s including Simon Tay, Leong Liew Geok, Koh Buck Song, Heng Siok Tian and Ho Poh Fun. In the late 1990s, poetry in English in Singapore found a new momentum with a whole new generation of poets born around or after 1965 now actively writing and publishing, not only in Singapore but also internationally.r wrongly, as the first generation of Singapore writers.
