COMMENT ON SYAMIMI MUSA

I agreed with syamimi when she said that whenever she give speech, she tend to be very nervous, whereas whenever she were ask to evaluate others she become less professional as she put too much empathy to the presenter. I also have the same feeling. It is not easy to evaluate people and to be evaluated by others. We have to think carefully before doing any action. She was right when she said that we become more professional with the help of a ‘Peer Evaluation Checklist’ given by our teaching the Language of Drama (EDU3217) lecturer.

COMMENT ON MARLISA AHMAD SAKTIAN

I am totally agreed with her in her post on the reflection on the handout. I think that she is right when she said that the handouts really help me in understand the subject better. This is because, the handout’s details are arranged and there are spaces provided so that it is easy for the students to write additional information. Beside that, the handouts are very easy to understand because there are using point form and simple sentences.

COMMENT ON MARLISA AHMAD SAKTIAN

When I read her post on her opinion on live stage, I found out that we have a similar thought. I think that doing a live stage performance in front of the class is also an interesting activity. Here, we have a chance to show our capability in doing some play. Like what marlisa said in her post, this kind of activity is so exciting because everyone had their own style in acting.

COMMENT ON SITI ZAHIRAH NOR

I have read siti zahirah nor comment on how to be evaluated by others. According to her post, she said that from the comment that they received from their peer was very encouraging as some of them jotted down their comment and encourage them to do better. I think that, all the comment from the peer is from their own opinion on us. They have seen how we present at the front, so they know how to comment on us. This will really help us to do something better in the next lesson.

COMMENT ON SITI ZAHIRAH NOR

I agree with Siti Zahirah Nor, on the comments she makes on a play “Pygmalion". I also have read the book before and found out that there is lot of the scene in the book has been cut in the movie. At first, I was quite frustrated but then I think the scene that has been cut in the movie do not affect the plot of the story, so the ‘Pygmalion’ in the movie still as interesting as ‘Pygmalion’ in the book.

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

This is one of my favourite movies. A streetcar named desire is a story full with dramatic and action but still got the right message to the audients. I like the way the director of this movie convey his brilliant idea with all the main character in the story. A Streetcar Named Desired is about Blanche who comes to New Orleans to see her sister Stella and met her husband Stanley Kowalski. As the play progresses, readers get to know more about Blanche and the type of person she is. The thing is, Blanche always dreams of to be someone else, someone who is just not herself. She lives in her own world of imagination. Blanche is the protagonist of the movie but she turned into madness at the end of the movie. She cannot forget her past and accept the present world because she lost the love of her life and she feels that she fails as a woman because her late husband is a bisexual. The present to her is very painful and she prefers to live in her own world of imagination.

PYGMALION

Finally, I got an opportunity to watch a play entitle Pygmalion. Before this, I just heard it but never had a chance to watch it. As for me this movie was quite exciting with its interesting plot. Pygmalion is a story about Liza who is from a low class society and a phonetic professor, Henry Higgins. Liza has asked the professor to change her. She has challenged the professor to teach her how to speak ‘standard’ English and how to behave like a lady. Henry Higgins manages to teach her to become a lady and throughout the learning process, he falls in love with her. He is very fortunate because Liza too loves him. This is a movie for all. If you think you want to get change, you better watch the movie. Who knows maybe you will find your mr. or mrs. right throughout the process hehehe….
