STUDENT 1:

THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THIS MEETING AT SUCH A SHORT NOTICE. WE HAVE TO DECIDE ON SEVERAL THINGS TODAY AND THEY ARE: THE TYPES OF RECYCLABLES TO COLLECT, THE PLACE TO KEEP THE THINGS AND THE ROLE PLAY OF THE COMMITTEE. LETS START WITH THE THINGS TO COLLECT. SHOULD WE COLLECT ONLY OLD NEWSPAPERS AND ALUMINIUM CANS? I THINK WE SHOULD INCLUDE BOTTLES IN THE LIST. I DISAGREE CONCERNING THE BOTTLES BECAUSE THEY ARE BREAKABLE AND WE DO NOT WANT THE STUDENTS TO GET HURT. WHAT ABOUT OLD MAGAZINES AND COMPUTER PAPER? YES, COMPUTER PAPER CAN FETCH A LOT OF MONEY. SO, WE AGREE TO COLLECT OLD NEWSPAPERS, ALUMINIUM CANS, OLD MAGAZINES AND COMPUTER PAPER. YES, THATS RIGHT. LETS ALSO INCLUDE OLD EXERCISE BOOKS. LETS MOVE TO THE SECOND AGENDA. WHERE SHOULD WE KEEP ALL THE THINGS? WHAT ABOUT THE OLD STORE AT THE BACK OF THE CANTEEN? IT IS UNSUITABLE AS THE LORRY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THE PLACE AND WE WILL HAVE TO BRING THE THINGS TO THE FRONT HERE. YOU ARE RIGHT. WHAT ABOUT THE HALL? IT IS BIG ENOUGH AND I DONT THINK WE HAVE ANY ACTIVITY THAT USES THE HALL FOR THE THIS MONTH. WE HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE PRINCIPAL.

READING SET 1 THE CURSE (NOVEL) CHARACTERS THAT I ADMIRE THE MOST.

THE CURSE SHOWCASES A NUMBER OF CHARACTERS. THE CHARACTER I ADMIRE THE MOST IS AZREEN. SHE IS DESCRIBED AS A TOMBOY, IS SHORT, BESPECTACLED, AND FIERYTEMPERED. NEVERTHELESS, I ADMIRE HER BECAUSE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST 20 YEARS OLD SHE IS MATURED AND SHE SHOULDERS MANY RESPONSIBILITIES. I ADMIRE HER SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE. SHE DISPLAYS THIS CHARACTER TRAIT THROUGHOUT THE NOVEL. IN SCHOOL, SHE USED TO PLAY HOCKEY AND FOOTBALL WITH THE BOYS. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS FROWNED UPON BY OTHER STUDENTS AND THE VILLAGERS, SHE NEVER ALLOWED THEIR OPINION TO PROHIBIT HER SENSE OF FREEDOM, ENJOYMENT AND INDEPENDENCE. I TRULY ADMIRE HER GUTS. SHE DISPLAYS A SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE WHEN SHE GOES TO PENANG ON A STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME. AZREEN IS ALSO AN INTELLIGENT AND RATIONAL PERSON. SHE MAY HAVE COME FROM A POOR BACKGROUND BUT SHEER HARDWORK, INTELLIGENCE AND RESILIENCE IN HER STUDIES AND SPORTS ENABLES HER TO EMERGE A TOP STUDENT AND SHE SECURES A SCHOLARSHIP TO STUDY IN LONDON. MORE IMPORTANTLY I ADMIRE HER FOR HER BRAVERY AND HER QUEST FOR TRUTH. DESPITE THE RUMOURS SURROUNDING THE DEATH OF MADHURI, THE FIGHTS ASRAT LIKE A WILD CAT TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MATTER. IN MY OPINION, AZREEN IS TRULY AN ADMIRABLE CHARACTER AS SHE POSSESSES ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS WE NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.

READING SET 2 THE CURSE THEME

IN MY OPINION, ONE IMPORTANT THEME IN THE CURSE IS NOT TO SPREAD RUMOURS AS IT CAN LEAD TO DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES. IN THE NOVEL, WE HAVE THE OLD LADY OF THE FOREST. THE VILLAGERS BELIEVES THAT SHE IS A WITCH WHO HAD KILLED HER HUSBAND, MADE SOUP AND DISTRIBUTED TO HER NEIGHBOURS. SUCH RUMOURS WERE SPREAD BY GOSSIP-MONGERS LIKE PUAN NORMALA. AS THE RESULT OF SUCH RUMOURS THE OLD LADY IS OSTRACISED BY THE VILLAGERS AND CHILDREN GROW UP AFRAID OF HER. SHE IS SAID TO HAVE KILLED SQUIRRELS AND RATS. IN ACTUAL FACT IT WAS BRAVE AZREEN TO FOUND OUT THE TRUTH. THE OLD LADY WAS MARRIED TO A DRUNK AND ABUSIVE MAN. HE THREATENED TO KILL HER SEVERAL TIMES AND IN ONE VIOLENT EPISODE SHE KILLED HIM IN SELF-DEFENCE. INSTEAD OF SYMPATHISING WITH HER, THE VILLAGERS OSTRACISED HER. IT IS AZREEN WHO REALISES SHE IS A WISE WOMAN. THE OLD LADY BECOMES HER TRUE FRIEND.

SET 3 MORAL VALUE

ONE MORAL VALUE DEPICTED IN THE CURSE IS BRAVERY. AZREEN, WHO IS THE PROTAGONIST IN THIS STORY, DISPLAYS THIS MORAL VALUE. EVEN AS A YOUNG GIRL SHE TAKE CHALLENGE AND TRIES TO PROVE TO HER FRIENDS THAT THE OLD LADY IS NOT AN EVIL WITCH. WHEN SHE IS YELLED AT FOR ENTERING THE OLD LADYS HOUSE AND DESTROYING HER GARDEN, AZREEN BRAVELY STANDS HER GROUND. IN FACT, THE NEXT DAY SHE RETURNES AND REPAIRS THE TRAMPLED GARDEN. THIS ACT OF HERS FINALLY WINS THE OLD LADYS HEART. SOON, A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP IS FORGED BETWEEN THEM. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, AZREEN DEMONSTRATES COURAGE WHEN SHE BRAVELY TAKES THE BLAME FOR MOHD ASRAFS IN THE BULL INCIDENT. THE SAME BULL LATER INJURIES HER MOTHERS LEG, CAUSING HER TO LOSED THE THE USE OF THE LEG. DESPITE BEING BLAMED AND SCOLDED BY HER FATHER AND SCORNED UPON BY THE VILLAGERS FOR BEING IRRESPONSIBLE, SHE BRAVELY ENDURES IT ALL AND NEVER TELLS ANYONE WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
