Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain

I would be friends with Tom Robinsons. As can be inferred from the novel, tom Robinsons is friendly and helpful. He helps Mayella Ewell with her chores while on the way back home despite the indifferences between black and white. He is friendly towards her as described in the book. Even though he had a lot of opportunities for indecencies, he does not do anything to her disadvantage. This proves his clean down to earth personality.

Not only does Tom Robinsons fulfill the criteria to becoming a good friend, it would be interesting to have a nigger friend. By interacting with a black, maybe I would get to acquire knowledge on the bangala culture. By learning and understanding, the mysterious reasons of hatred for blacks will become clear. Also, a first step into understanding the other race may help in fostering better bonds between the two races.

Therefore, as Tom Robinson is kind, helpful and friendly. I would be his friend. Not only will he make an exceptionally good friend, there are also other advantages to making a new friend.

Multiple Intelligence Test


As you can see, I'm intrapersonal. Interpersonal is closely behind. Hmmm... I can deal with people well.


To say the truth, I don't really believe such tests. To me, the questions and answers are just too constricted. I always believe that personality of every one differs. By doing such tests, is it saying that there are just plenty of the same kind like who I am. I doubt the similarity.


Certain areas... some people are good at one or two aspects, not all, I don't think that is enough to move them out of the list. The statistics on the graph may indicate values, but people focus on the highest bar for sure, leaving the "untalented" are. Who knows, there may be hidden talents.


After all, personality changes, IQ increases and improves in different ways. There can't be a fixed type.

Starting of 2010...ending of term 1 ?_?


Before i start anything, I must really do some self reflection.

For almost 5 months... if not more than that.... I've not been updating this blog, this page was like died a natural death, peaceful and sound...


And now, when I finally keyed in my address, it's already 1st March. Tests all over, ace submission gonna end. I even planned of what to blog on that very first Monday of term 1, now I recall, laughing at my laziness. A simple post about 2010 target took me 5 months huh?


Anyway, LA for this term is, indeed, diferent from last year. The changes were not big, but big enough for me to sit up and focus. The first comprehension assignment(not even a test), I***up. If not for the additional summary Miss Loh kindly assigned to us, I will just have an ugly letter under the subjects grade for term 1.


TKAM. Oh... another literature text, I always groan for that. It was just soooooo relaxing that we do not have any test on that for this term.

(Yea man O(∩_∩)O)


Since target for term 1 is quite... meaningless now.... I will talk about term 2. OK, I should say.... I'm quite happy that again we are starting on poetry and prose. This is the time when I can really appreciate the beauty of this language, and, try grasping it.

Alliteration, metaphors, pun... etc etc... all these tools and things do attract me and make me think, and feel.


This blog, I'm still gonna have at least 17 more posts for this year definitely(6 for term 1, 12 for term 3)...


Hmmm.......
