Tee Ann Yheen - Love Letter to Him

Love Letter to Him

by Tee Ann Yheen 18225

Dear Eric,

          How are you? I am fine here at Australia. During the reunion last week, I was shocked too when I see you. You look different, I mean you don't look innocent like the old you. I appreciate your compliment although I don't really realize how beautiful and charming I was back then.

          Yes, I am still single but not available because I am still waiting for the man. My heart is filled with his smiley face that whenever I think of him, my heart still beats very fast. Unfortunately, you are not that man, the man that I was talking about was no longer in this world, so I decided to stay single and not accept any relationship anymore. Actually I am so sorry I've make you misunderstood, I can explain everything to you. Yes, I still remembered the moment when we first met and the sweet memory of us chasing in the park means a lot to me too. We definitely have a great time and actually I'm already in love with you that time. 

           Eric, to be honest, I don't feel like getting back together with you, I am happy being alone and I enjoy my single life. I'm so sorry to hear that your wife has passed away last month, you are suppose to miss her instead of finding a new replacement and get back to your ex-lover.

           My answer is a 'no' and I hope you'll learn to let it go too. Let bygone be bygone, Eric. We will always be best friend and you must remember that I will be here wishing you all the best all the time.



Yours sincerely,
Irma. 

Argumentative

Wife should help her husband

         Imagine that you are a husband, how do you feel if your wife is not helping you while you are in trouble? You fell terribly sad right? In my opinion, a wife must gives her hand to her husband. The main reasons why the wife must help her husband is they spent time together since their marriage, her husband have make her happy and he must have sacrifice a lot for her.

         Firstly, his wife must help her husband because they have spent most of their times together. For other reasons them also have promise to be together. If them have problem them can solve it by using discussion method.The kill method is not accepted because it is too cruel and will one day them will regret.

         Besides, his wife need to help her  husband because her husband have make her happy for a long time.Besides,he also has be with her for a long time and both of them have too many sweet memory together.The wife should help her husband because it is one of her responsible and them have promise to always help each other.

          Lastly, his wife need to help her husband because he has sacrifice a lot for her when they are together.Other than that,he also have make sure for a few years to keep his wife safe.Althought,her husband has tried to kill her but she need to forgive what her husband had did because he has work to find money for their life.

           As the conclusion,the wife should help her husband because he has made her happy,sacrifice a lot for her and he has become her partner for a long time.

Poster presentation

First of all, I want to thank our tutor Mr Rosli Din, and my partner Danial Ashraff, for their help in presenting our poster, based on the short story “The Lady or the tiger”. With the help of our tutor, we have chosen this short story, not only because of our tutor, also because, I and my partner liked this story very much. We have told about everything, which could be in this short story. And we have divided into parts our time of presentation, half is for me and half is for my partner. During the presentation I told the audience about the plot, characters, settings of the short story, and my partner told about the main scene, themes, moral values. We also added our own opinions about this short story. In my opinion, we, I and my partner prepared for this presentation very well and what else, our poster was amazing, very colorful and extraordinary. And I also think that the audience liked our presentation also.
I hope you liked our presentation!!! J
Dear Betty,
       
         Thank you for still remember me. For me, let the past gone with time. The truth is, I still love my late wife. I have promised to her that she is my very last love. I will never betrayed her as she used to be very loyal to me. We have spent our times together, sharing love, happy and sad together. Finally we are given with 3 children before she died while gave birth.

         Actually I appreciated that you still concern about me. But my heart is no longer for you. It have filled by someone that might give her life for me. Sorry to say this, I will not accept  you as my life partner. But as friend maybe. As we know, we already reached 45th. I don't want others give us bad perspective. I also very love all my children. I don't want to disturb their feelings because they maybe they cannot accept their mother be betrayed.

         My last word is, I proud that you now a successful woman. I'm very glad that you found what you searching for. Again, I'm say sorry to you.


                                                                                                                             Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                      BANI.

18390 Argumentative essay:To be or not to be?


To be or not to be?

In his short story, “The Lady or the Tiger”, Frank R. Stockton tells a story that brings up some good points but has no tangible ending. It is an ending left up to the dear reader, and I’m here to tell you: she chose the tiger. On the surface, it is a story of a princess who falls for a “young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens”. In reality, this is a story about the ways and means of a person’s heart and the endless afflictions of love and jealousy. Her father is known for his “semi-barbarianism”, and the princess herself is known to have “a soul as fervent and imperious” as the king’s. The semi-barbaric king invented a trial for wrongdoers of his kingdom: in a public arena, the accused was faced with a choice between two doors: one holds a tiger, “the fiercest and most cruel that could be procured” – a self-imposed guilty verdict. The defendant was killed on the spot. The other door held a lady, “the most suitable . . . that his majesty could select among his fair subjects” – salvation. The defendant was married on the spot.
It was against the law for a man of such low station to court the princess, and the young man was put to what passed for a trial. The princess had discovered which door held which outcome, and the knowledge haunted her in the days leading up to her lover’s trial. The princess’s choices were these: let the love of her life be viciously devoured on the spot, or let him marry a woman who had been throwing lavacious looks at her lover. Indeed, she knew the woman who was waiting behind that door for the young man, and she had more than once felt the jealousy that rises up in any of us whenever we feel our love is being encroached upon. What to do? Chances are, she would hear for the rest of her life his screams as the tiger tore him apart. She would miss him in her heart and her arms and the time that she now spent without him. But after a time, her memories would fade from guilt to tenderness; undoubtedly, there would be a war or a plague or a famine that she would be glad he wasn’t subject to. She would consider it quite a kindness to the young man that his heart and soul didn’t have to go through the pain and anguish of the what the world had become; here she was, fearing the outcome of a war or the migration of a plague or the impending riots of crop-less farmers, and there he was, resting in peace and oblivious to her plight. She would remember him always as he was: young, handsome, happy, and hers. Essentially, since she possessed the same semi-barbarianism as her father, she would get over it.
On the other hand, she could spend the rest of her life hearing about him and his new wife, the one who was always “throwing glances of admiration” at her lover. She could catch glimpses of him the crowd, she could hear about the beautiful children they were having and the happy home they had made. While she was stuck in a marriage of political convenience, her love was off frolicking with that woman who, all those years ago, was making eyes at her man. The question could be posed that after the princess indicated that the young man should go to the door on the right, he knew her heart well enough to know what she was thinking and went for the door on the left. However, in paragraph 18, “without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right and opened it,” which leaves us with little room for speculation. The other possible deviation from my theory would be that princess knew that the king had planned to have the youth disposed of, no matter the outcome of the trial. In that case, it might have been better to have him choose the lady, and let the young man’s death be on her father’s hands. However, if she knew that her father would have him killed anyway, she likely would not have anguished over her decision for four paragraphs.
Indeed, I think paragraph twenty tells us all we need to know about the princess’s decision: “Think of [that question]…upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy. She had lost him, but who should have him?” The word barbaric is used in describing the nature of our heroine at least half a dozen times in this story. In considering sending him to the tiger, the question is posed: “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go wait for her in the blessed regions of semi-barbaric futurity?” Even in the afterlife, she could be found with barbarism. Also, in paragraphs twenty-one and twenty-two, she is weighing the pros and cons of each outcome. According to paragraph twenty-two, she had panicked at the thought of him going to the lady more often than she had felt trepidation at the thought of him going to the tiger. It could be surmised that the thought of her love marrying someone else weighed on her barbaric mind more heavily than the thought of her love being torn to shreds by a tiger. When she made her choice, her hand moved to the right. The argument could be made that this was some sort of allegory of doing the right thing. However, people tend to do what they think is right, not what is actually the right thing to do. According to the description of the princess and her anguish in making her decision, she might well have thought that feeding him to the tiger was the right thing to do. I’ve spoken with half a dozen people about this story and its possible outcome, and the answers are usually split down the middle about which door was chosen. One can only speculate about the number of discussions that this story has sparked and the number of times Mr. Stockton was cornered at parties and required to give an ending. “The Discourager of Hesitancy,” a sort of sequel to “The Lady or the Tiger”, was eventually published. What a great marketing concept: finishing the story you started to tell three years before! Unfortunately, the sequel offered no insight into the fate of the young man. In fact, it only gave the reader another somewhat less infuriating question to ponder.
I think that there are enough clues (her barbarism, her jealousy, and the fact that since she couldn’t have him back anyway, she would have no reason to keep him alive) to indicate that she chose the lion.

Tee Ann Yheen - Reflection on Poster Presentation

Reflection on Poster Presentation

by Tee Ann Yheen 18225

             First and foremost, I would like to thank our English 1 Group 23 tutor Mr. Roslidin for giving me and my partner, JoanneMarie a golden opportunity to conduct a poster presentation based on the story " Heart of Darkness". At first, we face difficulties in undertstanding the story as the language used is old english, so we could not get the literal meaning meaning of it. Due to that too, we could not comprehend the message that the writter wish to convey and we have spend a lot of time to understand the story. Fortunately, I get help from my partner, get the modern English version of HOD and I also watch the video based on this story, so finally I manage to study this story easily. 
            We have done many research on the story and came up with many ideas of how to do the poster creatively. Firstly, we thought of making a 3D face of Marlow by using a mask and we also try to move the ship but it was all in vein. After we give up the idea, we decided to re-do the poster and unfortunately, I have to participate a competition for one week long at Genting. I really appreciate Joanne for being so understanding and she really helps alot in completing the poster. We stay up all night to colour the maps and I've cut myself when I am trying to make the ship move, although it is tiring but at last it completed and we are quite satisfied with our product.During the process, it was filled with laughter, anger and sleepy-mode.
              We also conduct a fake presentation in the room so that we will not be nervous during the day. But obviously, we fail. We prepare ourselves and try to get extra marks by wearing a baju kurung which we will not normally wear it. The presentation was a success and we feel relieved of what we present that night. After the class, we feel so happy but suddenly Mr.Roslidin told us that marks will be deducted for not following the format, it was such a sad news for me and her. Now, I think of it I think I've gain some values during this pre-presentation and presentation, the relationship between me and Joanne have tightened and we learned to work hand in hand to complete the task, I've got some experience in presenting a poster.
