ADVANCE ENGLISH I THE SELFISH GIANT



Today, 

August 30th, 2022 Eak sir began the first chapter of our course, "The Selfish Giant," . We were divided into five groups at first. Each group was assigned to read the very story and complete various tasks such as critical thinking, summarizing, interpreting, and assimilation. Because of this group activity our class was very fruitful and interesting .

 I agree with the author of "The Selfish Giant," Oliver Wilde, about what he is attempting to portray in this story. He teaches the readers that love and happiness spreads only when we spread it ourselves. He also demonstrates that selfishness does not pay and can only lead to misery. I too believe that we should always try to help others and be kind to them. Being selfish or having ulterior motives will only cause us pain.

The story "The Selfish Giant" teaches us an important life lesson: life is better when people are generous, and selfishness is bad for everyone. If we apply this philosophy to our lives, we will find more happiness, success, and less misery and anguish. I learnt "Sharing happiness leads to the creation of happiness for oneself “through this story.

If I were to write this story, I would include a scene in heaven where the giant meets the boy as his guardian angel. This would have helped readers visualize how the story would end more clearly.

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I SWORD OF DAMOCLES 20th October 2022   After a long absence, Dr. Dawadi attended English class today. We discovered that he had been in an accident. We resumed class after hearing the entire story from Dr. Dawadi. Last week, Dr. Dawadi taught us a lesson: school is bad for children. Today, he taught us an ancient story, "The Sword of Damocles." As a part of our participation, Dr. Dawadi made us read the literature and analyze it.  The legend has it that Damocles, a courtier in the palace of Dionysius II, frequently bemoaned to his king Dionysius II his misfortune, which doomed him to a life of squalor and hardship. He often told King Dionysius that he was fortunate to have all the riches and comforts he desired. So, Dionysius II made Damocles an offer to trade roles for the day. However, Dionysius warned Damocles that the burden of being a king was so great that he must find a means to nev...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I HITCHHIKER Dr. Eak Dawadi's class began at the usual time. Today we were taught Roald Dahl's short story "The Hitchhiker." The story tells how one guy dealt with getting a speeding ticket. In the story, the narrator is driving to London when he stops to pick up a hitchhiker. The narrator explains that he always stops for hitchhikers because he used to be one and knows how difficult it can be. The narrator and hitchhiker get to talking, and the hitchhiker becomes very secretive when the narrator asks what he does. However, the narrator doesn't push the issue; again, he remembers that an endless barrage of questions can be annoying for a hitchhiker. Eventually they discuss the narrator's nice car, and the narrator claims it can go 129 miles per hour. The hitchhiker says there is no way it can actually go that fast; the manufacturers probably lied to him. This is a really interesting tale. It features complexity and story twists. It is intrigu...

  ADVANCE ENGLISH I THE LOTTERLY Eak Sir came to our class today and inquired as to whether any of us had ever won the lottery. Then, one of our friends related his story of winning the lottery when he was still in school. Sir then decided to call the entire class to the front and direct them to stand in accordance with their height. Each male had to select two girls to make a team. Following team creation, he assigned a job to each group. Our group was given the assignment to find all the characters' names in the chapter. Following group presentations, Sir gave us a quick overview of what the chapter really covered. The backdrop for the narrative is a little American community. Every year, there is a tradition of holding a lottery in which the winner is selected among the villages. In contrast to previous lotteries, the lottery winner is sacrificed by the villagers to ensure a bountiful harvest of their crops. Mr. Summers, the village's oldest man, announces a lottery in which...
