~to Do or NOT to Do~

This week I have lots of pressure because of my thesis statement. I need to make a concrete, logic and educated thesis statement. My thesis statements have been rejected for many times until I become depressed and do not want to do it anymore. However, all my friends consulted me and they gave me courage to continue. Here, I learn something. It is not easy to make our dream come true and it is not easy to make people believe in what we believe. As foe the thesis statement, it just likes my dream and I need to persuade my lecturer who acts as people to believe my dream. I need to go through lots of challenges in order for me to achieve my dream. In the end, I successfully achieve it and the most important thing is I gain it with my own efforts and courage. Even though I went lots of trouble, still I manage to do it and it makes me realize that to achieve something we need lots of work. In the end, we will appreciate what we did and satisfy with what we have. Last but not least, do not give up on what you have working on and continue to do it until you and end of it…fighting!

~old text, new text~

Do we need to learn old literary text? In my opinion we should learn it as we can vary our knowledge of literature. In past lesson, I got to understand an old version of literary text which entitles Daedalus and Icarus. It was an interesting story but make myself confuse the first time I read it. However, I gain the opportunity to learn new thing which were I learn old English language and the way ancient writer wrote their story. It made me realized that literature has come along with culture and society around the world and literature is the one who made a society been remembered until now. So, learned old text is a good opportunity for me as it teaches me to appreciate something. For instance, the story Daedalus and Icarus made me know the way ancient people belief and way of life as in the story stated that they belief to their king and think that people who can fly is a god. As a conclusion, I would like to stress here, read as many as literary text that you can and choose that can attract your interest because they can give something in your life.

~Myths,Legends,Tales~

The first class for this subject has made me realize that each society has their own way to represent themselves. For ancient, they done it by telling stories to the members of the society and they will follow what they have been told by the story teller. There are a different between myths, legends and tales. However, in my opinion all of them are still the same as they tell the readers about the society. Or in other word, all of them resemble the society way of life. Sometimes, the story is fun and sometimes full of expressions. However, most of them teach reader some moral values in life and they should follow it to have a better life. Personally, I love to read all this kind of stories because they teach me to handle this life professionally. By knowing the different between the three of them make me realize that each of them have their own criteria that make them special in each society. Last but not least, as a person who belongs to a society, I think that each of us must do something so that we do not lose these traditional stories that have their own specialties and value in literature world.

ThE BeginninG!!!

This semester, I have to make as many as reflections I can write and put them in my own web. This is to make me think critically and argue what I want to say. Even though, it sounds easy but I have to make sure that all my reflection have their own quality and must be rational to the reader. As for me, this is an opportunity to develop my own writing skill and encourage me to see something out of the box. I hope this will make me a better thinker and a better person in criticize something in the future.
