My Opinion towards Godfather Death by Jakob and Wilhem Grimm

i choose this short story- Godfather Death by Jakob and Wilhem Grimm for choice of my position paper. this story has a lot of moral values that we could learn from it. Firstly, the godson has being passed to a deathman as his godfather. So, this deathman said he will make his godson to be a well-known doctor and a rich man. Then, the people all around the world would bring their sickness to this godson. But, this godson never respect to his godfather at all. He thought that whatever he does his godfather will just turn a blind eye. At first, he cured a king who is supposed to be death but his godfather forgive him but he did the second time for the princess. This is in order for him to marry the princess and become a king so he did it. At the end, this godson dies because he ignores godfather's warning. Due to godson's uncontrolled desire for the power has leads him to become a well-known doctor but at the same time he sacrifices his life too. In this world, all the things are fair enough. If somebody get something special from god, for sure he will lose something in the same time too. We could not act so selfish in order to get what we want to because whatever in this world it is always fair. This is my opinion towards this short story. It is a great story.

My First Tutorial Class

Today was the second lecture for the subject of readings and project work for teaching literature in ESL contexts. Mr. Omid is our tutor for tutorial class. He taught a lot of stuffs in the class. Firstly, he wanted us to do for the outline for Ovid's Metamorphosis "Pyramus and Thisbe". So, we formed a group of four and thought about the thesis statement. Then, we wrote it on the paper. In the meanwhile, we also looked for all the supporting ideas to support our thesis statement. After twenty minutes later, Mr. Omid came to our place and discuss for the thesis statement. He said our thesis statement could not be used because the length is too long and the there do not have any supporting points at all.. so, we did it again.. This outline need to pass up by next wednesday. This Ovid's story is quite foolish for i taught. It is really ridiculous for someone to love deeply and leads them toward foolishness actions. Next class we'll do on the same text too.

First day in the new semester!

Today is the first day we attend for Dr. Edwin's class. It was excited to see our beloved lecturer. But, the excitement had turned into nightmare just in a blink of an eye. Haha.. Dr. Edwin firstly read aloud the course outline and slowly go into all the things that we need to do in this semester. It was really headache when i listened to all the assignments that we need to submit in week 13. Everyone has to do the position paper, posting e-journal, and the most heavy is do the research paper. I really do not know what should i do at all. But, i got to know my supervisor for this research paper is Pn. Juridah. So, Dr. Edwin explained the whole course outline and he finally told us that he hired a tutor for our tutorial class. And that person is Mr. Omid. Haha.. So, i need to wait until the next class to continue my weekly journal...
