Second Week

120109- After reading both stories that being assign by Dr. Edwin, I felt that both stories were interesting maybe just because it was a tales and it supposed to be entertaining and at the same time gave some guidance and moral values to the reader. The reason why I say like that because that are the assumptions being generate in my mind after readings all the fairy tales and cerita rakyat since I was small. Between both stories, I feel that “The Son of Turtle Spirit” is easier to comprehend compare to “Mahabharata” because there are some terms in that story that I can’t understand.

Back to the pictures and the poem that Dr. Edwin ask us to find, I got the correct poem but for the pictures, it is totally rejected even though most of my friends use the same picture like me. Only a few of us got the correct pictures and one of them is Nurul Adha. I feel a bit disappointed because I got that picture also when I search it but that was not the one that I choose to bring to class. On that day, Dr.Edwin teach us about intertextuality and for Icarus’s issue, there are three works that related to each other. The works are the prose by Ovid entitle “Dedalus and Icarus”, The painting by Brueghel entitle “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” and also The poem by William Carlos William using same title with the painting by Brueghel.
