In the name of Love

Miss Irene come to our class and ask us to answer questions take from two scene in different drama, Dance Like a Man by Mahesh Dattani and In the Name of Love by Ramli Ibrahim. I don’t have any idea what is it all about because we didn’t learnt about it yet. But, the scene in In the Name of Love is very interesting for me in term of the speaker, the language and also the content of the scene. In that scene, the speaker was named as Mak su and she speaks to invisible listener named as Li. In this scene, Mak su used Malay English as the toll of conversation. For me, it is intereting becuase it is different from other scene that i have learnt before this in Now Read On. It is very easy to understand and i can really know what is the writer trying to say. The content is also attaract my attention so much. In my personal opinion, it is one of the way to convey the information about Mak Yong because nowadays, lots of people tend to forget and some don’t even know about Mak yong. It is also related with my hometown. I cannot describe much about this scene but i hope that all of my friends will enjoy it as i do.

Short Performance

The things that i will consider for my short performance are as follow:

v The role of the character.
v Relationship between characters
v Setting

The first thing that i will consider for my short performence is the role character itself or my own role. I have to know what character that i have to act, whether as a teacher, baby, daughter, or animal. I will also consider about the characer’s background whether he is rich, or poor, well educated or not, or whether traditional or modern people. This elements is important because it will help me to feel more in the character.The second thing is relationship between characters. Are you mother and daughter, teacher and student or employer with the employee. This must take into consideration because it will lead me to know how to perform very well. This also include with my intonaion and gesture beacause if we are in different rank with another character, we will produce our conversation differently.The last thing is setting. Setting is important because it will help me to be in the right atmosphere of the performance. For example, if the conversation took part at the market or school, it will effect my speech tone. Prof. Madya. Dr Malachi Edwin Vethamani had done a short performance in class and it was so fun. What i can learnt from the activity is as a performer, we have to have all those element so that we can be a good performer. That also include the creativity of the performer.

Stages of human life

The Four Ages of Man – William Butler Yeats

He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright,
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocent and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his war on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win

This poem is from William Butler Yeats entitled “The Four Ages of Man” and he stated in those poem that there are 4 stages of life. But according to Shakespeare in “As You Like It”, he said that there are 7 stages of human life. But as for me, every person have different view or perception of human life. I feel that no matter how many stages of human life, the most important thing is that how people appereciate their life and use all the memont that they have wisely. And the most imporant thing is that, how we numberd our stage of life. It is because, we as a human being cannot do all of the things in just one time. We don’t even khow when our life here will end, don’t know when we are going to be dead, when this this world is going to end or over and lots more to think about. Our life is so short short, so don’ t waste it. Even though we have planned so many things to do in our life, don’t ever assume that we can make it but just pray for God and try our best. As a conclusion, no matter how many stages that our life have, just appreciate and enjoy your life.
