I have chosen to analyze about a write because for me it is an interesting task if you know indebt about a writer. I am interested with Jane Austen writing because she always got an issue in her piece of writing. In addition, all the issues are related to each other and have been presented in ironic way. Jane Austen is one of the woman authors in literature world. For me, she was a good writer because she represent woman in a different way. For many writers, they always represent woman as an oppress society. However, Austen represent woman as a valuable society. She taught readers to realize what woman should do in this world. Even, she put woman lower than man but still she created them as person who can do what they want as long as they have done their responsibility to their family. Woman in Austen’s world still get what they want without forgetting their duty. As a whole, I like Jane Austen because she made woman realize their duty as well as fight for their own rights.

~the task~
Still, we are at our research paper. However, at this moment we have decided what to do. We just need to find points and evidence to make our research concrete. We struggle to finish it and make it as best as we can with the help of our supervisor. This subject really teaches us something as it makes us think a lots and not just narrow to one thing. As a teacher, he or she needs to thinks something in many aspects before he or she decides on something. For instance, when we do this research paper, we tend to take account all aspects and this can be related to real life situations whereby we need to make sure everything perfect as we can. To make sure about it, we need to consider all things so that we will be satisfy with our last decisions. On top of that, this research paper has made us to do our assignment properly because all that we write will be related with want at the first place. In all, this is a relevant project for students.
~essay~
Essay…for me it is a boring text because I cannot differentiate it with letter, diary or autobiography. I look at it as the two piece of writing. I cannot find the difference because it is very similar to each other. In addition, the format is same as diary. If I have become a teacher I will not use this piece of writing for my lesson because it is very confusing as I also not sure whether it is an essay or not. I rather not take the risk to use it as I will create confuse to my students. However, if teacher want to use it for reading classroom then it will be appropriate because students will have the opportunity to read different kind of text. But not for literature classroom because it hard for students to analyze this text. Additionally, essay is not suitable for Malaysian students as it make students feel bored with it. This text is suitable for university students because it make them more critical. As a whole, still essay is a boring text for me because I did not get the enjoyment when reading it.

~A&L~
Autobiography or letter? Should this two piece of writing be put in secondary school? Can secondary school students analyze this kind of text and can they understand it? All this questions have come up to my mind as I learn all this kind of writing. For me, it is appropriate to put this two piece of writing as they give students certain advantages in real life. For instance, autobiography can make students realize about real life situation that an author tries to convey and it can be as a motivation for them. But, teacher must ensure that his or her students are from the higher and intermediate level of proficiency because these piece of work play with bombastic words. If teacher wants to use it for low level of proficiency, they need to adapt the material and change it so that it can be understood by the students. For me, teacher can use them in secondary classroom as long as teacher believes that his or her students can understand the text. If teacher is unsure about it, I advice his or her not to use it in the classroom. As a whole, a variety of text will produce a rounded students and it will make them more critical and creative in cooperating real life situation.

~challenging life~
This project paper really makes me a student. I did not say that before this I was not a students, but this assignment is really challenge me mentally and physically. Luckily I got a kind supervisor who encourages me to do it slowly and relevantly. After I have chosen what I want to do, I need to find information about it and the information must be concrete. However, I need to read it as a whole and put my own view to critic and analyze it. I cannot use the information that I have read as my own opinion. The information is just as a help for me to have better understanding about the text or the writer. The task is become harder and harder for us because most of us need to be independent because each of us get a different supervisor and each supervisor hope a different work from us. So, we cannot ask our friend if we have a problem. We need to find time to see the supervisor and we need to run to him or her to know what we should do for this assignment. Nevertheless, this has made very strong students as they need to be on their own to find the knowledge. Students also need to survive in order for them to live in this challenging world. By making themselves familiar with this situation, I bet, they can coop with outside world when the graduated from university.
~Project&Life~
Now we are continuing with our project paper. For me, it is a huge task whereby I need to put all my interest in literature. I need to put all my knowledge in analyzing literary text. In addition I cannot do it just on my own. I have to see my supervisor from time to time so that I am in the right tract. For the beginning, this project paper is a scary word for me because I thought I need to do research on literature. However, after I see my supervisor, my perception changed as it is not as I thought. I need to find a piece of literary text or author and critic it by my own personal views. For me, this task has give me the opportunity to be myself as it make me critic about literary text as I like (but of course, not out of tract). Briefly, this makes me a better thinker as I have to choose the writer or text that could attract my interest. The beginning is the hardest process as I need to think carefully what I want to do and make sure I can go on until the end. As a becoming teacher, this has helped me see from the side of teaching field. I need to choose the best way to teach my students and attract their interest so that they can be with me until the end of the lesson. As a whole, for me, an assignment has its own purpose and it can help a student to become a better person when they graduated.

~ProjecT or ProjecT~
After I finished my position paper, I need to continue with my project paper. This will need me to do research on something. As for me, I love Jane Austen pieces of work because she was a good writer and her issues were very clear. She also includes advices in all her novels even they all have been represented silently. This project paper makes me learn something in doing a research. I need to put, own opinions and thoughts to make it a concrete piece of work. Additionally, I need to analyse Jane Austen pieces of work before I judge her writing. This made me read lots of her novels and made me have the clear view on how she wrote her stories. In fact, this project paper made me read lots..hehe.
