Without realizing 14 weeks have just gone with a blink of eyes. Soon we will be leaving UPM. (Sigh….) This will be my final blog for this topic. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all my lecturers in UPM. You all have really polished us!
Thank you once again!

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THIS COURSE.
This course has made me aware of many things in terms of coming up with a project paper as well as exposure to the different types of literary writing that we have. In this course we are required to come up with two papers, position and research papers. Both helped me to improve my critical thinking as well as writing skill. I just wish I could have taken the EDU 3067 course before I take this EDU 3234 course. This is simply because I think I could have really improved my analysis as EDU 3067 entails many notions on how things are viewed, the approach and many other essential topics solely on literature. However, I am happy with my work.
Looking at the readings that we have done in class, well it is extremely useful and remarkable. Every moment was a knowledge receiving moment in the reading of literary text classes. We had many discussions that were thought provoking. We have read about many famous figures’ writing. Let it be their letters or diary or speech or anything. It is fun learning these types of literary text as we get to know about the writer’s attitude and things like that. So now if I ever to read a letter, a diary or a speech I think I will be able to detect certain things about the writer (it is going to be very helpful for me in the future).
In short, this course has moulded me to become a better literature person as well as a good critique and most of all a frequent BLOGGER!

Martin Luther’s Speech…
In today’s class, on the second hour, we discussed on the speech of Martin Luther King. I would strongly say that it actually deserves the fame and recognition that it has now as it is really well written! (as I only saw it on paper yet to hear the speech which is available in the website entitled English as Second Language). We thoroughly examined the language of the speech- the sentence structure, the choice of words and many other elements which it is really rich with. The speech actually has a very strong message that can make one ponder on the idea of equality, segregation and discrimination.
After the discussion, my lecturer talked about how important is speeches and put forward the question why we Malaysian do not have or examine any speeches from our very own great people in the country? This made me to think! Yes, actually we should expose Malaysian with the speeches that would some sort create awareness and instill patriotism in the young ones. Our father of independence Tunku Abdul Rahman’s speech should be revealed to all Malaysian so that we would and will have the strong sense of belonging to the country. I think in the future I will take the effort to put in practice what my lecturer has suggested as I think it is very important and very convincing. I will share with my students the speeches that our statesmen has spoke so that the young ones will benefit out of it, will know more things and will break the rules of not knowing anything on the convictions that they have made.
