Weekly Reflection (14/1- 20/1)

It wasn't a very optimistic week for English this week. This week, we decided to revamp the current Never Let Me Go page and me and Chua were assigned Chapter 6 to recreate. Over the weekend, I decided to check if Chua had made any adjustments to the page. There was none, so I decided to begin refixing the page. I fixed about the majority of the page and left Character Analysis and Themes and Symbols for Chua to create, I messaged him on Facebook to remind him about the site. Overall,  I felt what I created was pretty good as the page look neat and organized but lacked the multimedia flair of other pages. I headed back to boarding and found Chua and the site untouched, he seemed confused on what we should do and I told him I messaged him but never he replied, he soon began hammering me on how to finish the Themes and Symbols and Character Analysis which I found pretty frustrating as he could have messaged me way earlier and I would be more and than happy to help, but now at 9.45, tired after a long day, I wasn't in the best of moods to help him, I just gave him some advice and let him work on it.

The next day, I checked the site for the Character Analysis and Themes and Symbols and all I saw was a crummy mind map and a short paragraph in character analysis. At this point, I was annoyed with Chua but I didn't say anything. When it got to English, there were so many weakness's to the page, formatting error, font size not consistent, mind map done poorly, character analysis uncompleted.... It was a complete mess and when Chua asked when we should redo the page again... I sighed and gave a date which obviously won't be done by then. Moving on to more positive matters, we were assigned song called Ballad Of A Thin Man, a very cryptic and confusing poem, it seems it was practice for our exams as I heard that any poem could come up and we had to expose ourself to many types of poems to get an idea of what's going to come out. there was the general idea of it being an interpretation of the gap between the rich and the poor, of slaves and slave traders which all suit it perfectly fine but I want to know what the actual meaning of the poem even though Miss Abena specifically warned us not to. Sigh, that google search button looks so tempting now...
