Point of view from a parent from Dead Poet Society part 1

After listening to the headmaster's speech, I felt delighted that I had made the right choice by sending my son to this school, with more graduations from any other schools, it was pratically the best school in America. I felt that the ceronmony was nice as we get to know the 4 pillars. Those values were perfect to me. When the ceronmony ended, I shed tears as I hugged my son and bade him farewell and good luck. The teachers in the school were excellent, I though as they were former alumnis of this school. Overall, I concluded that my son would have a very bright future studying in this prominent school.

The Hwa Chong school gate greets everyone when they attend school and bades them farewell after school. The majestic structure is one of the more prominent structures in our school and will be well remembered by our alumni. With a mouth that swallows cars into our school, one must pass through it to enter our beloved school.

LA lesson reflection

After going through 7 weeks of LA lesson, I learned how to apply characterisation in my story and elements of a short story. My most enjoyable part of the programme was the analyzation of characters in the story To Kill Mockingbird. After analyzing, I get to understand the story more. A change would like about the LA programme is the book given to us to read. I feel that they should use a more renowned book that we have interest in reading. Before we started reading To Kill A Mockingbird, I believe that few of us have heard of the book more or less read it. A lesson I particularly enjoy is the lesson we have to present on the traits of the character we analyzed. I thought it was interesting as we get to hear different views on different characters

Characterisation : Story excerpt on Spongebob Squarepants

“Hi Squidward!  Hi Squidward.  Hi Squidward.  Hi Squidward. “ Spongebob hollered through Squidward’s window, waking Squidward up with a shock.
“What are you doing outside my window?” Squidward screamed at SpongeBob who was smiling his big two-tooth smile at Squidward, “It’s 5am in the morning!”
Spongebob replied “Cause its opposite day! No wait it’s not opposite day!” Squidward was angry as Spongebob started singing at the top of his voice in Squidward’s room. Squidward took action and threw Spongebob out of his room and shut all the doors and windows. But even after this, somehow Spongebob still got into his room and started making chaos again.
Squidward suddenly had a brilliant plan and said “Spongebob, weren’t you never like this? Since today is not opposite day, you’re not supposed to be quiet!”
“OH! I don’t see. I shall not be quiet then,” Spongebob said after pondering for a short while.
So for the rest of the day, Spongebob became quiet and Squidward finally got some peace and quiet.
