Human

‘The four ages of man’ by William Butler Yeats, ‘Macbeth’ and ‘As you like it’ by William Shakespeare and ‘Oedipus (Sphinx riddle)’ by Sophocles are pieces of literary works by great poet and playwright. These literary works talk about human’s cycle of life.

In my opinion, I like ‘The four ages of man’ more because the poet makes us think how a human is born until the day his life is taken by God; or die. In the poem, it tells about the true nature of human who will have lives and breathe, then struggle for their own future and finally died. The poem also describes how human’s arrogant and proud will lead how they are going to die whether in despair or honour. Besides that, we know that no human can go against the will of God and it is best for us to be grateful with everything that we have and always strive for the best.

Chance to perform

If I got a chance to do a performance, I will take consideration everything that is required for my play. It is important to have a good actors and actresses to do the performance because the play must be delivered y people who can present the play’s intentions to the audience. Besides that, stage position and decorations or setting is also an important element to attract the audience to watch the play. In addition, to have a good performance; the play must have a good story line and script must be strong and effective because without a good storyline, the play will be dull and boring. Moreover, audience is everything because they are the one who will judge and evaluate whether the play is worthy to watch or not. Therefore, all of the elements are important before we do a performance.

presentation of theatre

The presentation about traditional theatre is a good knowledge and information to improve and broadened my mind about the theatre. Specifically, Greek and Roman theatre is a good exposure to make we have more ideas about the theatre. Besides that, through this presentation, I am more knowledgeable and can get through this course till the end. I also can tell the differences between Greek and Roman theatre. In both of the theatre, there are many differences compare to the modern theatre that we have now in terms of the settings and costumes. People in the past, used settings of their era for every plays and same goes to the modern theatre.

My short story post-mortem

In the first class of this semester, the lecturer gave us the survey to test our memory about the last semester’s subject; which is ‘Teaching the language of short stories’. This survey is good for our memory about the past. Frankly speaking, when we left for semester break we will tend to forget everything that we have learned. It is also one of the ways to open the right schemata for the new lesson. Therefore, this activity is really beneficial to us to integrate and refresh the knowledge that we have in our long term memory.
