What do you feel when you evaluating others?

When evaluating others and being evaluate it is different feelings. Being evaluated will make you nervous and afraid but when I evaluating others such as my friends I will feel happy and can look at other’s weakness so that I can used it to cover my own weakness. Accessing others not really easy job that you can take lightly. You have to pay attention on what your friends are saying and the message that him or her try to convey. Your judgment is important to your friends because with the evaluation, he or she can know their weakness and strong points on their teaching. Given comment unnecessarily is prohibited as this can affect your friends. So, as a person who is accessing others I was really taking a cautious step so that my friends that I access will not hurt by my comment. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be good in accessing others that fact cannot be denied but at the same time you should take cautious steps. Evaluating people is a stage that will make us be creative and critics. We ought to use our brain to evaluate others and this might make us creative and critic’s thinker. Before I rest my case, I would like to emphasize here that evaluated others will make me feel happy but it is not an easy job as you might think.

What do you feel when your friends evaluate you on your microteaching?

I was totally nervous when I am teaching in front of the class, like normal people do. So, for amateur person like me, it is really a tough time while teaching in front of others especially in front of my friends because they will access me. Tense will be all over my body. During microteaching, I was given my best so that I can score good judgment from all of my friends. I was nervous yet I have to put it a side my feeling in order to make my lesson successful. In order to do so, I will make sure I done exactly what Dr. Edwin ask me to do for exercises. Apart from exercises, I also will make sure I used correct pronunciations and grammar. All these are important since evaluating is based on these items. It was a quite tough for me as my grammar and pronunciation sometimes not in a correct order. Eventually, during microteaching I was able to do my best and it was a big relieve. Nervous, afraid of being evaluate are part and partial for human being, after that it will gone. The evaluation towards me can make me mature and at the same time I can improve myself to be better person or might I say teacher when I was out for teaching someday.

macbeth

Oh my God! This is the words that I repeated many many times. I dare not to watch violent movie which is so terrified to look at the actions played by the actors. So my advice is do not watch this movie if you are afraid to watch this kind of movie. Why I say so? It is because, there are blood everywhere, killing each other, slaughtering and etc. You got to believe me. It is awful to watch people died and blood spreading everywhere (that is why I am not becoming a doctor, I supposed). Macbeth at the beginning was an innocent and loyal person towards his country and the King. But when he met three witches whom can predict the future and they are telling something about Macbeth becoming the next king, Macbeth become obsesses. He killed the king with the help of his wife. It is when the king awarded him as a landlord and paid him a visit. After killed the king he accused that the murder of the king was done by two guards who took after the king. The two was slaughtered and killed instantly. Under Macbeth’s ruler, Scotland had become disaster place. Macbeth killed his own best friend and also try to killed his best friend’s son (the witches said that Bourdou’s grandson will be the next ruler) but Phillian managed to escaped. Macbeth trying his hard to varnish all the people that might be his competitors in becoming king so that he might as well rules Scotland longer. At the same time, Macbeth is going through mental illness because of his doing. He is seeing Bourdou with blood all over his face and is coming after him. He was terrified. To add the matter worst, Macbeth’s wife also had a mental illness and at the end she committed suicide. There will be war soon against Scotland. Some fled, and Macbeth teases them of their coward ness. Still, Macbeth is laid back because the prophecy said that he will be fine until the Benem (Birnam) Forest come to him which to him is unlikely. One day, the people in charge of the tower said that the forest seems to be moving. Everyone fled leaving Macbeth all alone. Macbeth fought for his life. He challenges Macduff during the sword battle. But eventually, Macbeth was slaughtered by Macduff. What a horrific ending.

Shakespeare Wallah

First thing in my mind, I thought that the film we will watch are based on the real story based on Shakespeare’s story. But to my surprised, it is actually a movie starring Shashi Kapoor, who an Indian actor who was famous in Bollywood in those years. The movie was established in the year of 1965. There is no technology color on the film and fortunately we have to watch the film in white and black. I am not quit impressed when it was played for the first hours of the movie but eventually as the movie goes on it captured my intention. The film is all about a differences of role between actor and actress in the theater and motion picture. There are huge gap and will lead to the big problem. For instance, in this movie Manjula is the famous actress in the motion picture in India and she is really arrogance. She also looks down on others especially those who came from theater background. Manjula hating Lucy so much because Lucy is an actress in theater and Manjula jealous when she discover that Sanju (famous actor cum Manjula’s consort) had a feeling towards that British lady (Lucy). These modern days, people tend to watch movies rather than theater. That is why; theater actor and actress lost their spark. In this movie, Lucy followed her parents traveling all over India in order to perform Shakespeare’s masterpieces. Sanju, the hero in this movie, fallen in love with Lucy but there are obstacles in their relationship because they are different. Same as Manjula, Sanju is an actor in motion picture, he cannot adapt theater environment as he try hard to fit in there. That was one of the differences obviously. At the end, Lucy going back to London and left everything behind her in India.
