The journey comes to the end


What a relief...I am nearly reaching the end of the road. It is time for me to check all the tasks that have been given by the lecturer. This week I have to finish up my online task 3 as well as task 4 for the coming weekend. Not forget to my Research Paper...a 4000 words task as my final task for this subject. A great relief for me and my friends because we are not going to sit for the final examination of this subject. So we have plenty of time to study for the other subjects (we are going to sit for four papers) and we have to the the presentation as well. I really hope that I can gain a lot of new knowledge from this semester and I pray to God that I can go through and finish up all the courses with flying colours (hopefully). 11th of April is the due date for all of our tasks and then we have two weeks to prepare for the final examination. It is for sure to look back all the notes, all books and other references besides having so much work in school and at home. A bit tired to think about those things but it is a normal life for a distance learner like me to spend half part of learning and the second half for my other deals. Sometimes I feel like I am just like a primary school student that must have the schedule for everyday activities and also being monitored by parents. Although it seems like a tight life for me but it is also an enjoyable moment to be like a kid again; learning, reads books, sits for exam...I stronngly feel that learning does not stop til death. Wise knowledge is important to anyone of us in ths world to guide us to be ore responsible to the others. It is good to see all the people with the great knowledge; towards their God, towards their life, towards everything that is good and gives benefits to make the people themselves to become the great people in this world. I really hope that after all of these, I can further up my studies to the next level...Come on friends! Join me...

Letters


Moving on to the next topic..LETTERS..wow!I like writing letters. It reminds me to those old days where I write and write and write letters. Really hate to write formal letters as they are full of protocols, laws and other formats that can burden me up. What a boring situation when writing those letters. But I feel so merry when writing informal letters...of course love letters are the most important pieces for me. I feel free to express anything on my papers (normally up to four pages at one time). The freedom and joy are coming together when writing letters. It is like doing LEGO toys, joining and attaching part to part. When writing letters, we can express our thought and feeling. Just like I did on the last post "The Rose" where the woman is expressing her feeling. Besides, writing letters can also test our writing skills, how to create an emotion by transferring it on a piece of paper, by using clear black ink and a metal pen with sharp point at the edge. I agree that when writing letters, people will take a lot of time to construct the sentences, to use great wordings, phrases and maybe they will consider some slight mistakes that can make them to rewrite again. At last, they will get their great masterpiece to give it to the receiver...their friends...their love ones....their families...and so on.

The Rose


Erica Jong has created a great poem. The flower has created the feeling of someone towards her love by expressing the conditions of the rose. A great masterpiece by Erica has influenced me that the nature can bring the happiness and sadness to each and every person especially to a woman. It is blended with the emotion of the writer and from my own opinion, I think that the poem acted as the messenger to all the readers. I also feel that it is not use to give all your trust to a man like the woman did in this poem. It brings to a disaster to the woman and from this, she has made her life miserable by giving all her hope to her love one. It is not good to ruin her own self just because of that. It is ok to be in love but the most important is to keep on going positively with her own life.
From her writing...I can conclude that she is a master in writing love poetry and also the poetry with the feminine influences. The combination of words and the phrases showed the excitement to the readers. To "keep in touch" with thes kind of writing, one should try to grab the emotion as possible as he/she can. Two thumbs up to Erica Jong!!!
Ad additon, poem is a good piece of literature component to teach English whether for kids,teens and adults...the great poem considers the good words,lines,stanzas and it brings the meanings which can grab the readers' attention and emotion. The poem readers later can judge the way of the poet's writing style and the messages that he/she wants to bring to the people. It is good to read variety poems from different poets of different backgrounds, different origins and different countries. This is how the readers can get to know more about them. I like to read western poems because it is more free on the style of the writings. Most of them have brought the great messages and values. I do not really care about those words and the sounds of the poems but I really consider about the meanings...It is not just read through the poems but to experiment them.
