Super Teacher

Super Teacher

          They say that teachers are just our second parents, but for me, they are not just second parents. They are the second ones who guide us in our very own lives. We know that as teenagers, we spent most of our life at school, which sometimes makes us have more time with our classmates and our teachers more that our own family. Especially if a family is broken, your teacher will always be there to guide you, in choosing the correct path you will have to take when you grow up. So we should never forget our teachers that are not just "teachers", we should remember them as our second parent.

          Well, why are teachers called superheroes at time? That's an easy one, who can you think that can teach around a hundred or more students that you have to treat as your very own children? There's no doubt that teachers can do this. They treat students as their own children, help them in their problems in school and sometimes even family problems. Sometimes, they even assess the students first instead of their families, that's how teachers serve as for us students. This is how teachers are concerned about us especially if we return their effort for us by studying at school and proving that your teacher is a great teacher. So never get angry at a teacher, because they are only trying to discipline us. So for me, my teachers are all superheroes!

 True Love 'till the End

Capulet and Lady Capulet have identical twin daughters, named Juliet and Hero while Montague and Lady Montague also have identical twin sons, named Romeo and Claudio. Four unlucky children of these enemy families became lovers, Romeo and Juliet, that Hero and Claudio. Romeo planned to go to the Capulet’s house, specifically to the balcony near Juliet and Hero’s room.

            One night, when Claudius was walking alone he saw a man going up to Juliet's room using the window as entrance. He didn't call for soldiers to capture the man because he saw Juliet too outside and looks like she's waiting for the man. He saw the suit of the guy and it is a Montague's suit. He looked a little bit closer again and he recognized it
and it was Romeo. Claudius reported what he saw last night. Paris decided to kill Romeo for blocking his plans about getting Juliet's heart.

            In the other kingdom, Romeo told Claudio that this night, Claudio is the one who will go to the Capulet's palace to meet Hero. They decided to visit the girls alternately.
Claudio went out to breathe some air and while walking he saw there three annoying witches. The three annoying witches warned him because this night, he will be killed by a mistake. Claudio just ignored it but still he is nervous.

            Claudio was walking, going to Hero. He felt that there is someone observing and following him. He ignored it. Then, he felt a knife that passes through his bone at the back, and he saw it was Claudius. Hero was about to meet him but when Hero saw him, he was lying on the ground. The word he said is "Claudius". Hero was crying for help.

            Hero ordered Puck, her fairy servant, to give her letter to Romeo. Romeo received the letter from Hero that Claudio was dead. Romeo was the only one who knew what happened to his brother, he only told to his parents that Claudio wants to be alone and live without him and his parents. He also said that Claudio hope that they will understand him.After three days, the Montagues accept it and they just pray for Claudio's safety and independence.

            Romeo search for Claudius and he asked for a duel. Claudius was surprised because he think that it was Romeo whom he killed one night. Romeo put a poison on his sword. This one is the one he will use to kill Claudius. When Claudius’ enemies heard about Romeo’s plan to kill him, they decided to cooperate with Romeo and participate with the plan.

            Romeo sent a letter to Claudius asking him to battle with him. Romeo then prepared everything he needed for their clash. Claudius secretly put poison in his sword to be sure that Romeo will surely die. Both men went to the place where Romeo chose for them to battle. They both took off their swords and were ready to fight. Romeo was about to attack Claudius but Claudius immediately moved away from Romeo. Romeo was really eager to destroy Claudius because of what he did to his brother Claudio. Claudius was about to stab Romeo but Romeo used his sword to prevent Claudius’ sword to touch him but his sword flew away. Claudius grinned devilishly thinking that he will win the battle. But he was wrong. Romeo immediately grabbed Claudius’ sword and stabbed Claudius. Before Claudius died, he vouchsafe Romeo his reason fir killing Claudio. He told Romeo that Claudio is really not his target. Claudius also told that Paris is the person behind that incident. After Claudius told everything, his enemies went nearer to him and everyone stabbed him using their own dagger.

            After Romeo’s fight with Claudius, he immediately went to Juliet and Hero to ask about Claudio’s dead body. Hero told Romeo that she told Puck to bring Claudio’s dead body in Montague’s tomb. The three of them decided to went to the Montague’s tomb to visit and to say goodbye to Cludio.

            On the other side, Paris is celebrating all by himself because he thought that Romeo is dead already. After a few minutes, his servant spirit, Ariel, told him a very bad news. Ariel told him that Cladius is dead and he killed a wrong person. Instead of killing Romeo, Claudius killed Romeo’s twin bother, Claudio. Paris decided to ask a permission for him to court Juliet . While Paris is on his way to the Capulets, he encountered Romeo together with Juliet and Hero unexpectedly. Romeo immediately pull out his sword and placed it near Paris’ throat.

Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair

 "Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair. Let’s fly away through the fog and filthy air." 

-Three Witches, Macbeth

          This line is one of the famous lines in the play that Shakespeare has written, it was taken from his own story, Macbeth. It's the story about a man named Macbeth who easily believes and does what other people tells him to do. He believes all the omens that the three witches gave him and did everything just to fulfill it. But what does this quote really mean and how can we apply this in our very own life?

           For me, this quote explains the main theme of the story: Nothing is what it seems for. For instance, the witches speak in code in Act IV, deceiving Macbeth into thinking he is invincible. Lady Macbeth is viewed as a "gentle lady" (stated in Act II), but she is really the mastermind behind Duncan's murder. Banquo, in the beginning, appears to be right-hand man to Macbeth, but we soon find he refuses to support Macbeth should something go wrong (although he is unaware of the meaning behind Macbeth's request for advocacy).

Climax, where are you?

Climax, where are you?

         The play A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's written play. It is about a dream which happened in the time of a midsummer. It is truly remarkable and one of the best comedy story ever written in the history of mankind. It had a genre was comedy at the same time romance and was somewhat magical. This is somehow different from other Shakespearean plays.

          For the people who have read this, you might think that there's no deep conflict so there's no climax at all. But the truth is, in every story or even movies, there should always be a climax. So the question is, what is the climax of the play entitled, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?

          For me, the climax would be the part when Puck had put a love juice at the eyelids of both Demetrius

and Lysander. They both fell in love with Helena which made Hermia worry and become confused on what is happening. Lysander and Demetrius fought with each other for Helena, but Hermia and Helena fought also.

          I thought that this was the climax because these scenes were very exciting for me, and it was the turning point of the story, and it was close to the ending.

Prayer is Not Just for Ourselves

Prayer is Not Just for Ourselves

 

 

Oh God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth

Who protects us from evil, see what is happening

All the things You created with lots of love and care,

Are being destroyed by humans which You have trusted.

Lord, Sorry for all of our mistakes,

I know we often disappoint You,

We always say sorry, but we never change,
Forgive us one last time, to save Mother Earth.

Lord, I thank You for all the blessings You have given us

You gave us the things we wanted, and people who we love.
I thank You for protecting us all,
But I thank You more, for guiding us.

Lord, I am wishing You to protect us,
Now that we are experiencing these storms,
We are all suffering in lots of crisis,
But it hurts me seeing people in danger.

This is a prayer that I made for You,
I hope this can help even just one man.
These calamities can be prevented,

But we are still depending this on You.
