Antigone- a greek drama

The first time I got the book Antigone was last semester during my last paper of final exam. The first thing that was on my mind was that the book might be boring as I thought the language might be difficult to understand and it might be similar to Shakespeare’s drama.it was aGreek drama anyway.. The moment i open the book it surprised me that the language used was simple and easy to comprehend. I found the drama was an interesting drama. I enjoyed and appreciate the drama very much. I never felt bored reading the drama as I was anxious to know what happens next. Besides that, I could also picture in my mind the story as I was reading it. It was really an enjoyable drama to read. Later on when I entered the drama class this semester, the lecture was a great help, he helped me a lot in enhancing my understanding of the drama Antigone. It seems now to me that I have a very clear picture of the story and I understand better the drama.

Drama Class

The first time I entered Drama class I was curious to know how was the class to be… upon entering the class the first day, my mind was blocked... I felt so blurred... I couldn’t think…This maybe because of the long semester break... Besides that, I was also scared and nervous with the lecture. I ended up sitting at the back actually. As the class progressed... I enjoyed the class very much... I got to know what Drama is all about... Once I hated drama and don’t like reading drama scripts. I only like reading novels... I stereotyped drama as a boring thing to read but now through drama class I love reading it... It has given me new view on drama... The lecture really helped me a lot in understanding drama better. I hope this class will give me new experience in understanding drama from various playwrights

Mak Yong- My Malaysian Heritage

Mak Yong is quite a popular dance art in the olden days. It is known that nowadays it is not a popular dance any more. I guess its because of the controversy that was spearded during that time... This causes this dance art to fade away with time... I myself don't know about Mak Yong until i read the play on Mak Yong in Now Read On... It really brings my curiousity to get to know about this dance art that was no longer known by younger generation... I feel that the people concern such as the Ministry of Art should look into this matter and try to bring into life this form of dance art. This is vital as the younger generation should get to know 'bout their own culture. I feel this dance art should be preserved as a not only a Malay tradition but as Malaysian tradition. This is one of our heritage so we should be proud with it despite the controversy that occur with this dance art.
