  Hey guys, updating about Literature lesson on Friday. Mr Chua came in our class and told us about the topics that would be tested in the common test. This is the format of the test: 

1. Cinquains - Topics (5m) / Character (7m)

2. MacBeth

3. Merchant Of Venice - Character traits (Antonio, Bassanio, Portia and Shylock)

                                        - Qualities of mercy (Portia's speech)

                                        - Friendship (Antonio and Bassanio)

                                        - Revenge

                                        - Prejudice / racism

                                        - Details of scene

4. Romeo & Juliet - Characters (Romeo, Juliet, Capulet, Tybalt)

                                - Sonnet

                                - Imagery 

  After that, Mr Chua moved on with our assignment on Heroes / Villains worksheet on Shylock. He went through the worksheet with us. We then handed up the worksheet. He then gave us a news article on forgiveness of Pastor Tan's insults on Buddhism.

Here's the link to the article: http://www.transitioning.org/2010/02/09/buddhist-taoist-leaders-accept-pastors-apology-st-10-feb/

 

   The Buddhism and Taosim leaders gladly accepted the pastor's apology. The Buddhism leader told that we must be mindful on what we said. I think that even if a person insulted my religion, I think that that person should not be punished for the insults. I think that he/she should be forgiven as he/she is ignorant and immature. He/She should need some time to realise his/her mistakes. Ending my post here.
