I was supposed to create this space ages ago, after Hari Raya Aidifitri to be exact. But somehow or rather things got in the way. So, if you have forgotten what this thing is all about, let me put this down here and now. Yeah, I know it takes ages to reach the last page. That is the reason why I have assigned each person to read 1 chapter. We begin with Ma. Oooopss...she's gone, dissipated into another world that perhaps Go, Pu and Mo can provide us with further news on her whereabouts.
The next person available is Ik. Ik is going to read for us chapter 1 and then summarizes that chapter highlighting any important events or important speech. We will go down the list until we reach Nul who will read for us chapter 50.
Great stuffs huh? Enjoy

Covering and Clothing
Woo....wee....
A naked woman in the sea!
Don't worry people. I am not forcing you to stare at anyone's nakedness.
But, that is what we are presented with at the end of the story: no clothes.....no life....
In contrast, all throughout the narrative, the females are draped with layers and layers of cloth. Identify these female and their layers. Why do you think Chopin presented us with different arrays of female fashion?

It's all about Edna.
The Awakening, when it was published in 1899, was denounced and banned from bookstores and library shelves. Now, The Awakening has an important and permanent place in the American literature. I am puzzled here.. Can anyone help me out. Clear this cobwebs in my brain and clarify to me why is there such extreme reactions between now and then?

EDU 3215: Voices of the Unheard in Great Expectations
The Female, the Children, the Poor, and the Ignored speak.
The society in Great Expectations favors the male and the moneyed. This situation is not exclusive to only Great Expectations as the society in the 19th century is of patriarchal in politics and capitalist in economics. As a result, more than half of the populations were mere puppets in the show directed by these privileged.
On the 25th August 2010, you were given the opportunity to lend a helping hand to these people, whom over the many centuries, have remained silent against the maltreatment.
Whom have you chosen to help and what would they say to their oppressors?
* Reminder: On 1 September 2010 we will hear these Silents speak. Show your support for these people by bringing 1 candle each. Any candle will do: the aromatic ones, colored or a low quality ones as the organizer for this gathering does not discriminate.

EDU 3202: Semester 1, 2010
Monologue: Perform or Perish
Congratulations! you people survived last week. I was a wee bit disappointed though as the crowd was almost non existence, very much in contrast to last year as the human traffic was heavy.
You have performed and now it is time for you to share your meanderings into monologue. Looking back, do you gain anything from this exercise? Or do you think it is one of the medieval tools I've adopted to put you in eternal misery?
