Final project for General English..

Our last project is to perform a play. What come to my mind is "10 things i hate about you" movie. It's one of my favourite movie. So, i'm asking my group member either they are agree with my opinion or not. Thanx god, they receive it with open arm. Nothing is more sweet than direct your own play, write the script, and so forth. Now, we are still looking for the apropriate props, you know... what to wear at the prom...,at the party..everything should look perfect during the day...being Kat is not an easy task, some people should hate me, some people have to love me...perhaps, everything will be fine...

The colour purple: the changes that Cellie and shug go through

I had watch “The Colour Purple” that was directed by well known director, Steven Spielberg. The main character in this story is Cellie. At first, she seems too weak to fights back what other people doing towards her. For example when her father, Alphonso married her with Albert Johnson she did not protest her father decision. After married, Johnson treat Cellie like a slave, but she’s not fight back. However, everything has change when Shug Avery comes to her life. Avery makes her realize that no one can control her life anymore, and she deserve to make her own decision. . Avery also changes after met with Cellie. She becomes more realistic. From the story, Avery is portrayed as an alcoholic, club singer and lives a ruin life. Until one night when Johnson take her to his home. Avery was drunk at that time. That was a turning point in their relationship. When she discover that Johnson always beat Cellie, she decided to remain at the house to protect her. As time pass by, their relationship become closer and their relationship has changes to lovers. Avery has helped Cellie to search the letter from Cellie sisters. At the end of the story, Avery is married to a man named Grady. Eventually, Cellie met with Nettie, along with her two children.
