Favourite character(from a movie)


   My favorite character is Perseus from Clash of the Titians. The story is quite long, so basically it is talking about a man, demi-god whose father is Zeus,  in the mortal world going through all the troubles to confront the Gods. His reason of doing is not just for his people and also for his foster father that had died under Hades' minions.
   I admired him as he had the leadership qualities and bravery, he lead a small group of fighters in finding the  Medusa, before they found the place, they went through uncountable obstacles. But they remained brave and fought on for the sake of their people and country. At last they reached their destination, and it was just the beginning. Medusa was almost divine, she was hard to defeat, it took away all the other warriors' lives. Looking at how his followers were turned to stone and killed, he felt useless but did not give up even though his was alone. Instead he fought even better with his strength derived from his anger. This part of scene had demonstrates how Perseus had leadership quality and brave enough to fight on even when he is all alone.
   His belief is another thing or reason that gave me the courage to go on. "Someday, someone is going to make a stand. Someday, someone is going to say 'Enough!' ", this was said to him right before his foster family died under Hades' minions. This saying had kept him going on all the way to the end, he did not just do it because his foster father said so, he did it for everyone in the world...to confront the Gods. This shows how noble he is as he is willing to sacrifice himself to hope against hope, just to speak for the people.
   There was many scene where his actions show how he can fight well despite that he did not go for any training. One of them was at the Medusa scene, it was his first time fighting Medusa and he know how to kill her in the end. No one tells him how. He himself that one look in her eyes will be the end, so he uses a shield to guide the way as there's reflection on it. This clearly shows how talented he is in fighting.
   I'm actually quite different from him in a way of leadership. He was a great leader that knows how to lead people and leadership does not only mean leading the way, it consists of many elements like remain calm in desperate situation, fight for people and never giving up. All these elements also earns him respect.

'Unseen'

  I find unseen poetry an interesting form of writing as it uses move words to express itself and add 'flavor' to what it is trying to convey.It uses the literary devices to express the situation instead of writing in a plain way.By writing this way, the readers will find the story or passage nice as it helps to exaggerate the situation

Literature Performance(so far)

  We are still making some props but the making of background props(dancers) and the costumes of each character are almost completed, we used some card boards to make the props(dancers) and some other things. The costumes are almost completed as there is still some characters without a costume to wear. Up to now, we have met up about two times during weekends and rarely during school days as the schedule is too tight, everyone is going for CCA almost everyday for the NDP. We have rehearse one full round during lit. class and our 1st meeting, on the 2nd meeting, we have rehearse specifically on each scene and what the 'talking' character must do and not-to-do.

  There is slightly some difficulties in attendance but we cooperate with each other very well. Last meeting, 'Romeo' was not there and we cannot rehearse and improve the scenes with 'Romeo'. Apart from that, everyone did what they are supposed to do.

  Since NDP is over, we are planning to have more meetings and more rehearsal, for the props, we are still coming up with ideas and for the costumes, we will be buying or borrowing from others. If there is still time for preparations, we will improve our skip by finding more suitable songs and improve each scene like adding more props in to it.
