Blog-Writing Prompt #8

My favorite character in To Kill A Mockingbird is Atticus Finch. He is a lawyer and the father of Jeremy Finch and Jean Louise Finch, raising them as a single parent. He felt that a white girl was wrongly accusing a black man for rape and attempted to defend the man. Even though the jury thought that what he said made sense, as the man was a black, he was charged guilty. I feel that he is a righteous person and will fight to the end for a guy who he thinks is guilty even though there was no chance of winning. He is also a good father and raised two very smart and righteous children who supported him all the way through the trail.

All Summer in a Day

The person who should be held responsible was the boy who started the whole thing, bullying Margot and coming up with the idea to lock her up.

I would have stepped out and bravely support Marget, explaining to the rest why was she different compared to the rest. Or at least try to delay time until the teacher arrives, or save Margot after the others have left.

Curriculum of Identity

1. Factors includes how do I see myself as and how do I believe people see me as. Identity changes over time according to your enviroment and some of it is determined at birth like your gender, appearance.

When we walk in parallel with or against others, being our choice or not, our identity is shaped. It's how we stand out in a crowd. And the aspects of one's identity are based on appearance, personality, character, intelligence, occupation, etc., etc. Outside group perception of us individually, we have our personal perception that directly affects us. Our identity is then defined by how we think we fit in to the world around us, and how we feel we stand out (positively and negatively).

Chinese New Year Memory

My favourite memory of Chinese New Year was when I received the biggest Ang Bao in my life. In terms of size and the money inside it ^^. It was a bit smaller than half a fullscap paper and contained a bunch of 10 dollar notes containing 200++ dollars! It was given to me by my aunt who works in the Plastic industry, collecting scrap plastic and making them into recycled plastic before selling oversea for alot of money. I was surprise as she gave my other cousins the usual amount of 10 dollars. It was after I went home that I discovered my father had been working with my aunt and earned quite a huge amount of money.

Comic E-Learning

1. I used Watermelons becourse it is a very heavy fruit. I also used this background as it was the only outdoor background which shows a road and sidewalk as bullying cases happens often here.
2.The background image gives the comic a European feel. The bully is Muscular to show that he is the bully and the victim is skinny and smaller to show that he could not defend himself.
3. I used words like "STOP THROWING AT ME" to show that the victim did not like watermelons landing on him. The bully's speech in the 1st speech bubble shows that he did not cared about the victim. The speech bubbles help me to deliver a better understanding to the people looking at this comic

Learning goal for this year in LA

I want to understand the litirature book ' To Kill A Mocking Bird ' better by the end of this year. Its a top selling book and i feel there are alot of things and morals to learn from this book if i understand it weel enough. I also would like to improve my Short Story aas it was the component which pulled my grade down by alot. The other section of LA which i am not confident of is Summary. It has no standard answer like Math and no one knows which point should we write down. It wort of depends alot on luck to me. Even though I did well in it last year, I hope i will be able to grasp the key to getting the main points everytime without doubt.
