the reflection insight of me
Well this is where I leave UPM (sort of), and in this two years I have leant a lot and I mean a lot but above all is what I like, literature. All of my life I’ve go through a few level in understanding literature. From just understand the literal meaning, realize that literature has more than one layer, learn about how to teach the literature, and what I have learnt in these two years here is what I treasure the most, how to love and appreciate literature. Now I can see literature is not just words put in beautiful order or fancy words put together but the thought or view of other person put in words. Maybe for some, literature is nothing or only use to melt woman’s heart but for me it can be use to melt human’s heart and reshape it into a better form. I think if only every person can appreciate art and literature in the way it should be appreciated, this big blue sphere would be a better place. And how to appreciate literature? Read and you shall learn. I think my life has been better through my understanding and passion for literature and I hope it is a start for a better world. Well this is my last share of words here, Godspeed.
Seize the day boys..seize the day!
CARPE DIEM, I learn these words in the movie 'Dead Poet Society', which was recommended by Dr. Edwin. I really like the story, a teacher come back to his former school and bring his ideology to the school, for him literature is not a words that need to be study but to be absorb and savour. And like any school that only thin about performance, discipline and tradition, any unorthodox method would be seen as a sin and any mistake would be blame on it. Well I think the method that Mr. Keating use is a good method despite that a students commit suicide because the family and school against his passion for acting. What important for Mr. Keating is the appreciation of literature and use it as a way to reflect the human side of a person that craves for love, passion and happiness. I thinks student now a days especially in the special elite school is just like a robot that were programmed to memorize the text book and answer the exam as accurate as possible. For me this kind of students lack the touch of humanity and I think what Mr. Keating do is what this kind of students need. First hand approach to the literature, use the literature as a living element and appreciate it. And by doing this in a way students can learn more of human value through literature.
