1) You heard comments and maybe grievances from your seniors about Critical Literacy, but what is/are your expectation(s) or hope for this subject as you are just started.

Assalamualaikum wbt

First of all ,I wanted to say hi to my lecturer that reading this. Thank you for reading my blog, Madam Yaya. It's for the assignment anyway.

I have friends which are one semester older than me (even though they are the same age as me) last semester and I've been asking them what are semester 4 DECom's subjects looks like and most of them say it is freaking hard. They was handling 8 subjects last semester while we're handling 7 subjects this semester (minus the Mandarin subject). At the first glance I thought Critical Literacy is like another advanced version on Introduction to Literature. But I guess I was wrong. It's literally about using your mind up to your critical level to make a conclusion about something which is I don't know if I can do that, honestly.

I like literature. I like to give an opinion (even though sometimes it doesn't makes sense) and I guess CL is a fun subject if you really look deeply. We've been asked to watch The Others where I learnt there's a lot of hidden meaning in that movie. Very plot twist, interesting movie where the dead meet the living. Then we've been asked to watch Animal Farm which I took 3 days to watch the movie because most of the scene in the movie is close-up pig's faces. On the other hand, the movie is giving me an impact because who would've thought to replaced a human characters in animal's body? Such a delightful movie to watch.

So far, CL to me is an attractive subject even though it's quite hard to understand it but I will do my best for getting through this subject this semester, My hope is that CL can be more fun to other days to come and I hope I can actually do something with my job using CL (screw you, addmath). That's all, thank you.
