Comic on Jim Crow Laws

This comic shows the overthrowing of Jim Crow laws as they were still disadvantageous to the black people. Although they are equal, they are separated from each other which means they eat in different restaurants and relax in different leisure centres. I feel that both white and black people should be able to live in harmony

Blog Prompt 2

I had been unkind to a classmate from 1i2 last year. In fact, I believe our whole class did. To protect the classmate, I would not disclose his name. The guy was different. He acted much like a child, compared to us. He is always running about in the class, mimicking a sniper holding a rifle. He also rolled about in the class making noises that sounded like guns reloading. He is also very sleepy and blur. He was once very late for school ( about 9+am), because he took 857 instead of 852. He also missed the IDS trip because he could not get out of bed after playing computer overnight( what he does most of the time!). He always fall asleep in class and never hands in his homework on time. We teases him most of the time and also disturb him by making funny names and ask him to do our "dirty jobs". I had once found i funny to see his reactions whenever we teases him. But now, I feel a bit guilty to how I had treated him in the past.

Blog Prompt 1

Wind and window flower by Robert Frost

Lover's forget ur love
and listen to the love of these
she a window Flower,
and he a Winter breeze

when the frosty window
was melted down at noon
and the caged yellow bird
hung over her in tune

he marked her through the pane
he could not help but mark
and only passed her by
to come again at dark

he was a winter wind
concerned with ice and snow
dead weeds and unmated birds
and litle of love could know

but he sighed upon the sill
he gave the sash a shake
as witness all within
who lay that night awake

perchance he half prevailed
to win her for the flight
from the firelit looking glass
and warm stove window light

but the flower leaned aside
and thought of naught to sasy
and morning found the breeze
a hundred miles away

It showed that the window flower did not take notice of poor wind. I pitied the winter wind as his love for the window flower was not taken to any notice and he must have left feeling resigned and very sad. I learnt to be more aware of others' feelings and to be more sensitive with people around me. We will never know if we had hurt a person's feelings deeply.

KWL for 12/1 (Prejudice)

K> Prejudice=Discrimination of certain race, gender, sex and religion

W> I want to learn more examples and facts about prejudice that humans had been facing and " applying" since the beginning of time

L> I managed to learn more facts, examples and also managed to widen my point of view by listening to my team mates and through a mind mapping session with them. I believe thatthis will enable us to study To Kill A Mockingbird more smoothly.

AAP Project 2

We had to do a photo montage on either Changes and some other topics. We were supposed to pair up with one of our classmate and pick one of the topic to do a photo montage on it. I paired up with Boshen and decided to do the montage on Changes. We thought hard for something that is presentable and we stopped at Changes in Maturity. It was Boshen who came up with the brilliant idea. He told me that we could show a young and immature face and what that guy does and after a while, a matured face and what he does. I agreed and we started our work. I drew the storyboard and gave some ideas while Boshen did the photography and compiling work. We used some of our classmates as "stars"(Thanks guys! if you read this). Soon, we got them done and itwas supplemented with a powerpoint with desciptions and explanations of the camera angles. Our montage was good and it also felt good to see it being presented in front of the class.

Favourite Poem

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Animal Farm

We studied on Animal Farm recently. I just read the book and found my reading very enjoyable. The book was very organised and it kept me reading on. It was about Communism when the animals rebelled against their farmers and started a new "civilisation". As the pigs were the most intelligent animals among them, they assumed the role of leader which was not what they planned earlier. Soon, the pigs elected a leader, Napoleon among themselves and he became a dictator. He was a tyrant and he treated the rest of the animals(except pigs) with cruelty. Later, he became aomething like a crossbreed between man and pig. He had adopted man's evil vices. I love the book and I enjoyed it very much. I chose to do a Chapter 11 for the book( it only has 10 chapters) as an ace project. Of course, I enjoyed doing it as well, as I further developed the story.
