the place that means the most to me? that is not a very difficult question, and it is the squash court in school. it may only seem to be a place thatis for exercise only, but it has brought me a lot of happy memories.

Firstly, the 2010 trials, I beat all the sec 2 students in squash, sequring me a sweet solid place in the nationals, earning me much valuable experience that stills help me in my current competitions. this is also the place where i made most of my friends, although most were sec 2 instead of sec 1, but nonetheless they were good friends i could rely on.

this was also the place i spent a big portion of my holidays, since school was out and there was no trouble to go home, i spent even more time in the court, further improving and the results showed in competitions.

but after saying this much, how does this link to my identity. basically, it links to my identity because it is the only thing that sets me apart from others, because i am proud to say i am the only one in sec one last year that played it competetively, and my constant absence during the first few weeks because of the nationals has set me apart from others.

E-learning on 24th Jan comic strip

i have selected the theme of 'discrimination' and the plot is about a piece of burnt pizzas in a town of uncooked pizzas, though neither one is very edible, the uncooked ones stilll think they are supirior.
i mostly chose city as the background, and enhances the fact that this is a real-life problem.

my main character is a black pizza, otherwisw a negro in real life, the rest white, or caucasions, discriminate the black through speech and ostrasiation.

B. i used differnt backgrounds to highlight that this is happening everywhere,

week 2 post

this song is trying to convey the message that the world we live in has many problems, like chemical warfare,terrorism, wars and the heavy use of propaganda when they sang 'the wars going on but the reasons undercover.' and 'wrong information always shown by the media. So they are trying to tell us that there is only one world, which is slowly dying, and we have to treasure it, because we will not have a second chance.
the part that has the most impact on me is the part 'Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK', this part has a big impact on me because it is a bold direct critic to the USA government about how they are trying so hard to stop terrorism overseas that they are neglecting the local threat. this is however, true to a certain extent, as the USA has used a lot of effort to curd the Afghanistan threat. they may not be able to keep its order.

to kill a mockingbird

After reading the book 'to kill a mockingbird' by Harper Lee, it has left a big impact on me. first, let me start with a short summary.

Jem and 'scout', who are siblings, live in an old town called maycomb. In the town there is a rundown old house belonging to the infamous 'Boo' Radley, a negro who was rumoured to be extremely dangerous. As a result, nobody in maycomb dared to even take a step into his house. Also, 'Boo' almost never came out of his house, so Jem and 'scout' had never seen him before.

Their father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer in the town. Unlike most of the folks in Maycomb, Atticus is not prejudiced towards Negros, and even acts as an attorney for the negro criminal Tom Robinson. this earned him the name 'nigger-lover', but despite that, he still tries his best to protect Tom.

Close to the end of the story, when Jem and 'Scout' were in big danger, their ironic saviour was Boo Radley, the negro they used to tease and disturb. this changed the views towards Negros in Macomb. Boo Radley also shows himself once again.

This story has left quite an impression on me. Maybe most of us as Singaporeans do not know much about prejudice against Negros or ostracising because of skin colour. this is because of the government's effort to make Singapore multi-racial. But in the west, as it seems, most people are prejudiced against Negros not because they did anything bad or committed any grave sin, the are only prejudiced because of simply what they are. Almost everyone in America is biased towards whites, the have places exclusively for whites, jobs which only whites can take up, schools which only whites can go. this system is also poisoning the minds of younger generations because these measures will really make them think that they are superior to the Negros, so unless someone breaks this chain, the endless cycle will continue
