My favourite character.

My favourite character is Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. Firstly, lets introduce the background of the story.

The Hunger Games takes place in an unidentified future time period after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly Appalachia.

As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, every year, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected at random and forced to participate in the Hunger Games: a televised event in which the participants, or "tributes," must fight to the death in a dangerous, outdoor arena, controlled by the Capitol, until only one remains.

Peeta and Katniss, were choosen for this year Hunger Games. They worked together and went through many hardships filled with dangerous,cunning and desparate choosen children from other districts.

The reason why I like Peeta as my favourite character is because he is selfless and always put his love ones over him. For example, Peeta,in order to save Katniss, planned ahead to work with other teens from other different districts to act as a spy in order to protect Katniss from harms. Peeta is also very wise. He is skilled in camoflaging which safed his life countless of times. When he is outnumbered he would use his self defense skills to take down 1 or 2 enemies, and proceed to escape in order to save himself.

I observed that Peeta always plan ahead of whatever he does. He is always passive and calm. In a fight, he would always observed his opponents actions and moving patterns. His belief is to always be grateful.

I feel that Peeta and I are similiar at how we does things. We always think and plan before doing anything. We are also very passive and calm. However, Peeta and I are difference in how selfless we can be. I do not think that I could sacrifice myself to save the one i love a lot.

Reflection on Unseen Poetry

About unseen poems, i find it mysterious and difficult to understand. Unseen poetry usually have many difference themes and once we found out the theme example love, it would be quite easy to answer the questions. Also, understanding the meaning of each lines or stanzas of a poem is rather important to answer the question. I feel that i need more practices on Unseen poetry. Unseen poetry is also interesting as we uses our five senses,plus emotion to feel and think of the poetries. Also, unseen poetry is about answering questions,as if we are in the world of that particular poetry.

Reflection on Romeo and Juliet

Firstly, Romeo and Juliet is something new to me. When i got my groupings, i knew that the whole project would be a total failure as i knew we could not co-operate. However, after a few weeks, i realised that our group is actually doing really well and i am starting to show more enthusiam to Romeo and Juliet meetings. Being Romeo is pretty difficult due to the number of lines to memorize. However i am proud to say that i finished memorizing the lines is on my way to find my lower half costume. Now, 3 months past and my group were quite ready for the performance. Props(Check), Clothes(Check),lines(check). Im ready for this =)
