Finally...

Well, it seems that this is my last posting for the time being. I would like to conclude that I really have fun in completing this task as assigned to us in the earlier of this semester. I’ve dream to have my own blog in the internet but I don’t know how to do it. By taking this course (EDU3217 - Teaching the Language of Drama), my dream has come true and I’m happy to share my feelings and knowledge with my classmates through online. We’ve commented on each others’ postings and it’s an enjoyable way to know others’ point of view about drama. With this blog, I have the opportunity to know my friends opinions towards the play and their attitude on certain issues.

Through drama, I’ve been given opportunity to learn the great works by the magnificent playwrights. These people were enable to see the world in the other way round, therefore they can come up with the enormous works. Apart from that, I’ve become familiar with their works such as Antigone, King Lear, Pygmalion, and A Streetcar Named Desire and glad to be one of them who have the opportunity to examine on it. I feel regret that we can’t meet Wong Phui Nam due to our schedule. That’s the only chance we can meet him before the final exam to questionnaire him on his version drama - Anike. Anyway, his drama is the version of Sophocles’ great play- Antigone, I guess we will able to answer it during the final (unless if we don’t revise on it).

As a conclusion, reading drama is not a tedious because sometimes it is enjoyable although its old language becomes a barrier for me to have better understanding of the story. One thing I realized on reading drama, if we keep on reading the lines, we’ll be slowly comprehend the flow of the drama and the conflicts arises. Therefore, I have a new perspective on drama because it can be a pleasure reading for me due to my lack of knowledge on how to read drama. Now, I can start reading my mother’s collections….;)

I would like to say my gratitude towards Assoc. Prof. Dr. Malachi Edwin Vethamani on his interesting lesson for this semester. Since he’s been teaching us for two semesters, I’ve been familiar with his methods in teaching literature in English. I hope I will manage to teach my future students to love literature as I feel right now. Adios amigos!
