Hi all, I am doing this blog post from school! Recently, the work load is beginning to increase again. I am currently reading Scarlet Ibis, a very nice story. It is about an elder brother and his younger brother, Doodle. It is a very touching story. I will not tell you a lot of details about the story or it will not be exciting anymore. I highly recommend this book.For today, we are supposed to write down whether we empathise with the the elder brother or not.
By the way, we will have a Mathematics test next week on Tuesday. I cannot believe we will have our second Mathematics test so soon. We will be tested on Algebra, standard form, etc. At first, I didn't understand the factorisation for the Algebra. However, yesterday on our way to the Science Centre to listen to a lecture, Marcus, my classmate cleared my doubt. In addition, with the help of my father, who explained to me even further, I am much better in the topic now.
We did a passage for Chinese on Mr Tan Kah Kee today. According to my Chinese teacher, she will test us on him in the next Chinese test.
Oh right, I almost forgot to add in this thing. It was a sad thing that somebody actually posted as Yinn Jaye and wrote inappropriate things on people's blogs. If the person was a Secondary School boy, he should have been matured enough than to do this.
Well, this is it. I have to go and attend the ANGLES Grand Finale, with my classmate, Tan Mingshi, as one of the finalists. Bye!!

Dear Dexter,
ReplyDeleteScarlet Ibis is "a very nice story"? If by "nice" you mean sad, then yes, I agree with you. Scarlet Ibis is a very sad stroy to me, and I am more than glad that it is a fictional story, just like Flowers for Algernon. Such a thing in real life would be extremely depressing to know about.
Yours sincerely,
Justin

Yes it is depressing but most of the times, we get inspiration for our writings from our everyday life. Hence it is highly possible that it may be true. What is important is that we understand the theme or message that the author is trying to tell us and in this case, it will be to not discriminate and be cruel to those different from us (which we can be unconsciously guilty of).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ms Soh, it may have a high possibility for it to be true as is it not possible! Like my dear friend Darren, he got so frightened after hearing the story as he thinks there is a likelihood that he might be guilty of being like the elder brother and repeat exactly what he had done. The funny thing is, his brother is also around the same age as Doodle and somewhat resembles Doodle! What do you think about this point of view, Dexter? Should we also think in this same manner as Darren?
