Shooting an elephant?? Why??

When reading for the first time, I find this essay really interesting. However, the title did not really reflect what I have in mind. I thought this essay could be something easy and humorous! Well, story of an elephant?? I don't find it got to do with Colonizer and Colonized??? After discussing the essay with Miss Siti in the class today, I realized that... wow there is issue in this piece of work! About people in high position in dilemma of whether to be human or inhuman towards those around them. Well, it does happen in our political system, don’t they?

Meeting my supervisor personally....

Hi again...After my meeting with Pn. Juridah, my supervisor, I felt confident to continue writing my research paper. Before, I have been restating my idea again and again! I mean, the thesis statement, my focus of research and supporting details to put in. The discussion with her, open up lots of fresh idea about what influences Karim Raslan's writing. I like her idea of the Original sin of the world; Adam and Eve', and interesting part is the upbringing of Karim Raslan. Well, I actually never known that Karim Raslan was brought up overseas and had come to Malaysia to like 'find his own identity'???? ermm.. These ideas adding up to my points to do my research and I really hope that I am able to hand in my draft next week.

Presentation....

Meeting with Pn. Juridah does help us in determine whether we are progressing accordingly to what our topics of research are. It is good to have a short presentation of our outline to her as she is able to see what we have work on after selecting our topic of research. Not only Pn. Juridah commented on our idea of the research, also my friends which in the same supervision give ideas as well. It’s good to work as a group rather than working alone. From here, I learnt that everyone have different views and opinions. We couldn’t assume that everybody accepts what we have in mind. Through this small discussion with my fellow course mate, we have a better discussion on paper than just talking nonsense about unrelated stuff. Oh yes... I’ve presented my position paper too. I’m wandering what marks would I get from Miss Siti. I’ll let you know once it’s ready… Till then, bye…!
