Hye , :D 

This is the ending that our group managed to think . Enjoy your read :3 

When Ah Kow held the jade bracelet, he felt the the sense of regret because he was irresponsible for many years while his mother lived. While he was gazing at the jade bracelet, his tear fell down to the floor. He already had a plan which the plan was he wanted to sell the jade bracelet but the sense of regret kept attacking him. In the same time, Siew May was very quiet and she always looked at the jade bracelet which she loved too much. The jade bracelet was in her uncle's hand but suddenly, Siew May realized that something that uncomfortable attacked her uncle, something that forced him.

Then, Siew May went at her uncle and asked him what had happened. Ah Kow told her that he was very sad because he was never responsible for the family. Without thinking much further, Ah Kow handed over the jade bracelet to Siew May. Siew May could say nothing because she never thought that she would have the jade bracelet and she went to her mother to tell her.

'Birthday' review . :D

'Birthday' by Lee Kok Liang . :D 

This week we had learned a short story titled "Birthday" by Lee Kok Liang . We found this story was very interesting and fell sorry to the protagonist because no one celebrate her birthday . Even though , the title was Birthday , this story was about a match-making . 
'Happy Birthday' in chinese calligraphy . :D 
 Theme . 
The story is mainly about the match-making between the protagonist, 'she', and Uncle Teng. The protagonist's Grandmother is very particular and serious about this matter. Her Grandmother had planned everything with the a guy named Uncle Teng. But, in the end, when they had dinner, the protagonist spilled the curry onto his trouser and made her Grandmother furious. The second theme we thought that appear in this story is abuse towards a young woman . The protagonist (she)  is physically and mentally abused. She was asked to do household chores all the time. She was not allowed to have dinner after she spilled the curry onto Uncle Teng's trousers. We fell very sorry to the protagonist .

    Lamb To The Slauhghter...

    Our English Studies lecturer , Mr Camillus told us to do a scene of the Lamb To The Slaughter short story and we chose the scene where Mary Maloney had a chat with her husband, Patrick Maloney, about something that could make Mary Maloney's heart broke because Patrick said that he would leave Mary.

    Mary had a chat with Patrick...
    At first, Mary did not want to believe her husband said, but her mind became confuse and more confuse. Then, Mary told her husband that she wanted to make supper for her husband and Patrick did not stop her. As Mary walk, she did not feel anything because her mind was concentrating on what Patrick had said just now. Automatically, Mary's hand took a leg of lamb from the cabinet and she made her way to the upstairs bringing along the thing which she found just now. While she was walking, Patrick told Mary not to do supper for him. With a frustrated feeling and without hesitation, Mary knocked down her husband with the leg of lamb. Pity for her husband, Patrick died after the strong blast...
