Term 3 Week 2

  There was no Literature lesson on Monday as it was a school holiday. Literature lesson resumed on Thursday. Mr Chua had to reprimand us whenever he stepped into class for every lesson as many people did not submit their assignment. After 15 minutes of scolding, we finally began our lesson. He distributed the text that we paid to the Literature representative. I flipped through the text, and found that it was about Elvis Presley. Mr Chua then introduced about Elvis Presley. He told us that he led a very dramatic life. He instructed us to take out a foolscap paper to jot down about what we knew about him, what we wanted to know and what I have learnt. I thought for a moment, then scribbled some points under what I know about him,"famous singer in the 1950s and 60s, genre: blues", what I want to know,"His background, career, lifestyle and other things he does besides singing" and what i learnt,"Best solo artist, american singer known as 'King of Rock and Roll', led a dramatic life and died at a very young age".

  After going through what we have discussed in class, he introduced drama. He went through  and explained the text. After that, he showed us a Elvis Presley music video."

blue suede shoes color". 

  We didn't managed to see the full video. It was all because that someone had turned the speakers volume to mute, and we wasted a lot of time. Mr Chua got angry of course, all because of that particular person. Mr Chua was really disappointed in us, and he told us to watch the video online ourselves. We had to reflect on our behavior.

"Love me tender"


  Literature ended, and I read through the text before the next teacher came in. I felt that most of the famous artist in the world had a very dramatic life. Michael Jackson is another example. Elvis died at a very early age, due to the addiction of drugs. Many of the famous artists died at the early age, and their life was full of drama. Is this their retribution of being famous? Is this their fate? I have not found an answer to it, maybe the next Literature lessons would help me find the answers to my questions.
