BEAST....
Hi, here again to update my blog on Thursday lesson 27/1/11!
On this lesson, my class learnt about SUPERSTITION- belief which are not based on reason or knowledge. First, my literature teacher go through the story or rather the summary of the story MACBETH and it was about a witch come and tell Macbeth that he is the king of the country. When Macbeth and his wife heard this news, they believe the witches and they were very happy. Macbeth wife order someone to kill the previous king. After killing the king, Macbeth became the king but the witches again tell Macbeth that he would not be kill by people who are not born by women. But at the end, Macbeth was being kill by a boy who was not born by women but "was being born by the stomach of the women" which mean the the boy was "being born by cutting off the flesh on the stomach of his mother"- I don't know what is the phrase to describe this. And also the boy who was not born by women became the king. I think that Macbeth was superstition and i felt that this story was very interesting! My class was ask to wrie a total of 200 words of predition for homework.
HOMEWORK:
Question~ Has there ever been a time in your life when someone told you that somethingimprobable would happen and it did it? Did the fact that the event was 'predicted' cause you to behave differently that you would have otherwise and make it more likely for the event to occur? Or did the event simply seem to occur without any assistance from you? Recall what happened and include your feelings when you heard the event predicted and when it occurred.

Dear blog:
What happened that day to me was extremely usually. One particular day on one fateful afternoon, I was opening my locker, wanting to put my books inside it. When I open my locker, there was one piece of paper with writing on it drop down slowly and lightly from my locker and that piece of paper lay on the floor just in front of me. I was curious and was eager to read those neatly written words on that piece of paper. Eventually, I picked up the paper and I was shocked and surprised to see the words,
SOMEONE WILL FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO TODAY AND ATTACK YOU
BY BMS
on that piece of paper. I froze for a few seconds but I did not believe and care those words and I thought that it was my friend’s idea. I was walking home alone after putting my stuff in my locker. While walking home, I notice that someone kept following me on my back since I walked out of school. At this point of time, I began to believe those words on that piece of paper. I was frightened and immediately walked to places with lots of people so that the follower could not attack me as written on the paper. I call my mum to fetch me home. While waiting for my mum to fetch me, I kept looking out for that follower. At the end, although I was not being attack by someone as my mum and I inform the police who sent us back home and so the follower could not do anything to harm me, but I believe in SUPERSTITION from that moment onward.
