To promote family values, mixed race couples are being used for the clip. The reason behind this idea is to tell us that people are not only married to their own race, but also other race. For the couple, although they are of different race, they are still very loving. The clip suggest that even though skin colour can have a big difference, practices of races can be different, language of races are different, belief of races are different, they can still live together as one, in harmony, in love and care. This idea suggests the people that no matter how different they are with their partner, they can still accept each other and understand each other and also change for each other.

The clip did not talk about the good side of the husband. Did not talk about how loving they was together. The wife talks about the bad traits her husband has. His wife compares her husband's snoring sound to the sound made by starting of the engine. She also said about her husband's action and how she had reacted to him, by saying it was the dog. These made the audience laughed at their behavior.

The clip is not that effective to promote family values. Although the clip made viewers feels touched, but some most young viewers might not be able to watch the clip from start to end, as people nowadays are not likely to watch clips and advertisements that seems dull and boring. The speech was in the sad emotion; however it does not catch the interest of the viewers. The clip might be effective on some families, or maybe some families might understand the values behind the speech, but it may not affect the doings and behavior and thinking’s of people. It did not motivate the viewers to follow and carries family values in mind, thus acting them out. If the clip is made more attractively, viewers might be more interested in viewing, thinking, understanding, and upholding the family values.

For me, my favorite character in the Korean Drama – City Hunter is the prosecutor Kim Young Joo. For this role, it was acted by the actor Lee Jun Hyuk.

In City Hunter, the prosecutor is a very loyalty and right person. There is one of the cases whereby his biological father was a criminal in money embezzling from university and put it in his own pocket. There was a huge amount about 20 million won if I am not wrong about it. And after the prosecutor knows about his father’s wrong doings, he immediately persuades his father to surrender himself to the police. Not only that, he always think of catching the bad people into jail and is a person of justice. Even till the last moments, he was beaten to death in order to let the City Hunter to catch the bad person who had killed a lot of people and doing all those illegal things. And also he saved his last breathe to tell the City Hunter the location where the bad person is going to illegally immigration through boat. I admired a lot the character of the prosecutor and he does not even moved when the bad person wants to kill him.

For me, I think that in the part whereby he is loyal is similar to me. As I am loyal to my own feelings whereby I am loyal to those true friends that are beside me, and willing to help them with all I can. However, my own character is still a major difference with the prosecutor. As I think that if my own biological family member is doing illegal things, I would not be able to call the police to arrest them although I know that they are wrong. I think that I will not be as justice as the prosecutor. Therefore this is the part whereby I admire him a lot.

Unseen equals to difficult. When something unseen is being tested, that would highly increases the difficulty of the test. When i first looked at the unseen resources booklet, my mind went blank as i have no idea what is it about. However, when i was being taught of the resources in the booklet, i got a rough idea what the resources in the booklet is about. When we were being assigned the task in the booklet to do, i started struggling with the task, however when i complete the task, i feel really good. Although i does not like the unseen resources, but i like the fact that i can actually experience new stuffs in literature before the subject ends.

The Literature performance is doing fine now. At the start, during the June holidays, the group is able to meet some days and discuss what material we need for the performance, and then assigned some people to buy the materials needed together. The group had also discussed on who is which role. Some assignments are also given to some people to do in the holidays.

The group has organized several meetings and settled several things. The characters are permanently settled, and everyone knows what is their roles in the performance. The group had settled almost all the props we need, the background had been done, background music and the positions of characters in several scenes are also settled. The costumes of some of the characters are settled while some are still trying their best to find suitable costumes for themselves. The characters had memorized their lines, just that sometime, they suddenly would forget their lines. However, they are able to do it again perfectly after some time is given to them to practice.

The group does not actually focus on all the scenes, however they are focusing on some parts that they think is more important. For the more important scenes, they practiced more times, and makes more adjustments to improve on the visual effects seen by the audiences. They tried to make changes when appropriate and tries their best to make the performance up to their standard.

Macbeth is about three witches and the two war of Macbeth. The witches can predict the future, and when Macbeth was on the way back from the war, the witches appeared and told Macbeth that he will be awarded the thane of Cawdor and in future, he will take over the current king, King Duncan. Then the witches disappeared. On the other side, King Duncan met the Captain who just came back from the war. The Captain told King Duncan the happenings at the war. Then, the king Duncan thought of offering Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor, and asked his men to tell Macbeth about the offering. Macbeth was then awarded the name of the Thane of Cawdor. The theme of Macbeth is how ambition, reality, power and greed can overpower morality and human’s nature and purity.

I choose the Captain as my favorite character because he is funny in a sense that was already badly injured, but he can still report a lot of happenings to the King Duncan. How can a bloody man still can last so long and talk so much?

I learnt even more and understand even more about the story of the Macbeth. Now I can describe the story better, and I also known more about the character traits. In these lessons, I learnt that temptation can make people do things that they actually didn’t intend to do. Also, people like fame and wealth, and they could do anything just to get it. I also learnt that after a war, people make treaty with the other party. 11:45 AM

I’ve learnt predictions in this week’s literature lessons. Predictions can be real or fake; can be true or not true. But whether to believe or not, it’s up to our own self. I had met a lady, and that lady actually made a prediction on me. But I didn’t believe her, as I don’t believe in prediction, but I only believe in coincident.

Once, a few years ago, I went to a shop, a pet shop. The shopkeeper told me that I would have a pet in future. I told her that my father wouldn’t allow us to have a pet, and she actually says that ‘’he won’t say anything’’. I was shocked, but I didn’t believe. My father would not even allow us to have a pet at home. Last time when my sister’s friend put their hamster at my house for a few days, he wasn’t happy already. But the shopkeeper said that I would have a pet, and at would be in a cage. Well, I was thinking that she was just telling me these all because she wanted me to buy the pet from her shop. So, I ignored her and I go off.

I should be a coincident, that this year, my sister actually bought a guinea pig. And it was a ‘pet’ in a ‘cage’ same as what the shopkeeper told me. At first, my father was not very keen about my sister who keeps nagging about wanting guinea pig. Then after we buy it, we keep it in the balcony, and try to keep my father away from there, in case he finds out about it. But now, he had known that we’ve bought a guinea pig as pet. He didn’t say anything. It was shocking! The same, actually the same as what that lady had said. Goodness, oh my goodness… Even now, I still think it was just a coincident. But there is one thing, one thing I couldn’t against too. The incident was just really shocking. How could it be that the lady had it all right~ It’s amazing.

This is the second week of the month. Had already had some literature lessons for the past 2 weeks. In the 2 weeks, i've learn several things, eg.more things about William Shakespeare, his plays, and how to write Cinquain.

In the past, I had heard that a person called Shakespeare had wrote poems,but I did not know exactly who is he.After learning the literature these weeks, and doing the research on net, i've known who is he. He had created wonderful plays in his lifetime. Also, his plays were well written.

As for Cinquain, it is interesting style of writing a poem. A five lined poem to describe something. In class, we've also created a Cinquain of ourselves. It's funny, indeed when I was doing the poem of myself. I thought of nothing special, but to describe myself in a boring way. But it's true that I am actually quite boring to be with.

There is an assignment this week, and I had no idea how to write. The assignment was to write a Cinquain of literature, and make it into a poster format. Literature, eg. movies, books, etc, that is being performed. How to do this? I had really no idea of it. I don't really read books, and movies I had watched doesn't match the format as the format had to be 1 word. I had been thinking for the past few days, but I just couldn't think of a movie that is one word. Normally, I watch dramas, but I don't know if dramas were considered literature or not. For movies, the ones I could remember were long long words ones. There isn't one word movies in my mind. But, no matter what, I would still try to finish it by the due date.

Get busy~
