How’s life? I hope all of you are in good health. I really do miss all of you. The town I’m living here is called Banda Hilir. It is quite big but it not is as busy as our town in Rompin. I believe this is an old town as I can recollect quite a large number of old buildings in this town. Since Malacca is rich with its history, I think all the buildings here have their own story to tell. The food here is cheap and has a wide variety of choices. However, for some food like the ‘Assam Pedas’, it seemed too spicy for my taste, but I know our friend, Abu will love it. The people here are friendly and helpful. Although I miss all my friends and teachers’ over there, the locals here made me feel like home. Come and visit me in the next school holiday. I’ll be waiting. Yours truly,
Ashime
Section D (Question 7)
We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea
The Elephant Man
From the novel “We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea” by Arthur Ransome, the character who acted bravely would be John. After Jim had left the boys and went ashore to get petrol for the sailboat, a sudden burst of fog made the children panicked. The children could not see the land because of the fog. When the Goblin started moving, John tried to take control of the Goblin. Jim had warned John about the shoals in the shallow water. John bravely tries to check but he cannot see anything because of the fog. John realizes the anchor is too short to reach the bottom of the sea because it is high tide now. After trying hard to pull more chain out, the whole chain disappears in the sea. For me, the act that John showed was very brave and if not because of his act, the children might have end up crashing to the shore because of the wind.
From the novel “The Elephant Man” by Tim Vicary, a character in which I thought who acted bravely is the elephant man himself. After his “tour” to Belgium with Silcock, Merrick was left by Silcock without any care. Imagine how Merrick would have felt with his condition being left alone, scared and penniless. On the contrary, Merrick acted bravely to board a ship and travel back to England from Belgium. For an ordinary person, it is something normal, but for Merrick it was an act of bravery due to his condition. That is why I recall the incident of a brave action committed by one character from the novel.
Moby Dick From the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman Meville, an incident where the character acted bravely that I recall the most was Starbuck when he was pointing a gun to Captain Ahab’s head. After Captain Ahab threw away the map, everybody was frustrated and thought that the captain has gone crazy. Later that night, Starbuck went in Captain Ahab’s room only to find that the old man was sleeping on his desk. Bravely, he took Captain Ahab’s gun and pointed it at Captain Ahab’s head by wanting to kill him. Although after a few minutes, Starbuck withdrew his intention, to me his act of courage should be credited. It is very difficult for a person to act like he did. If they lost Captain Ahab, it might be the end of their misery but Starbuck had a long thought and cancelled his intention. For me, it took a very brave man to do what he did.

This review will elaborate on Ali’s spending based upon the given monthly allowance by his parents of RM200. The biggest portion of the money was spent on food which was 40% or RM80 of his monthly allowance. Fortunately, Ali is considered as a bookworm as he spent 20% of his allowance on books which also totalled the same amount he spent on bus fare. This proves that Ali is an independent learner and was able to organize his daily routine accordingly. If we are to convert it into ringgit, it means that Ali spent RM40 on books and his bus fare. Interestingly, a total of 10% or RM20 is kept by Ali in his piggy bank for rainy days and the remaining 10% of the monthly allowance was spent for Ali to have fun. We cannot blame him as the saying goes; “all work and no fun make Jack a dull boy”. In my opinion, Ali should go slow on the “fun” part as he is still a student.
Section D (Question 7)
The Elephant Man From the novel “The Elephant Man” by Tim Vicary the occurrence where two characters met and worked together to achieve success was at the beginning of the novel where Dr. Treves came across a picture of Merrick in front of a shop near the hospital. Dr. Treves felt pity of Merrick and thought that he could do something to help the poor man. After being reunited again when Merrick was left by Silcock in Belgium, Dr. Treves worked very hard to fulfil Merrick’s needs as he thought nothing else can be done to fix the appearance of Merrick. Merrick was being patient with Dr. Treves’ effort and worked together by attending a theatre show organised by Dr. Treves. That patience got paid off when Merrick felt very happy with his life and forgotten all the misery he had gone through. If it’s not because of the co-operation between the two characters, what had been planned for Merrick might not come true. Moby Dick From the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman Meville, the meeting between Ishmael and Queequeg has brought about a success between them. Queequeg was perceived as a weird person by other people. The two of them met accidentally when they had to share a room after there was no more room left for Ishmael to rent and no one wanted to share a room with the “weird” Queequeg. They became good friends after only one night. Both of them went to register as sailors at the Pequod and although Ishmael was not physically fit as a whaler, Queequeg was almost instantly accepted. The two of them work together
very well to kill quite a number of whales as both of them were placed in the same boat. The success story begins when during a near death incident, Queequeg requested to be buried in a coffin. Although the coffin was not really used, it functions as a float which saved Ishmael after the Pequod sank. If it had not been by Queequeg request for a coffin, Ishmael might not have anything to cling on to when floating in the water after Pequod sank.
We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea From the novel “We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea” by Arthur Ransome, the two characters that met would be John and the pilot. When the children had reached a land in the opposite direction, they see a pilot ship. They use a blue and white flag to get the pilot ship to help them. Because there is no adult in the yacht, John comes up with a plan. He asks his other siblings to pretend as adults and act like there is a party down in the cabin. Because of the show put up by the children, the pilot ship had confidence to help John and his siblings. If John had not met the pilot, no one would be able to help John to guide him and to help in stopping the Goblin safely at Flushing (in Holland)

Hello Marley, My uncle, James Bound has a Middle East look. One look at him will remind you of Abishek Bachan, a famous actor in India. He is tall and his body is well built. He has broad shoulders because he went to the gymnasium a lot. His frequent visits to the gym rewarded him with muscular arms and legs. He is fairskinned with bushy eyebrows. All of our relatives (including me) inherited those bushy eyebrows. The eyebrows match the beard that he is having. Although he is already in his 50s, he sure look young as if he had just graduated from college. He has pointy nose and it is hooked, like Abishek. His eyes are large, brown in colour. He wears a hornrimmed spectacle. If you have any doubts, just look for a tall Indian guy who carries a backpack on his left shoulder with an initial J.B on it. He is a friendly person and I believe the both of you will become good friends in no time. Thank you for being there for him. I owe you one.
Section D (Question 7)
The Elephant Man From the novel “The Elephant Man” by Tim Vicary, one incident that changed the course of the novel was when Merrick had a visit from the Queen of England, Queen Alexandria. This incident changed the course of the novel because before the visit, Merrick had always wanted to live by himself in a lighthouse or with blind people because he always feels that people are afraid of his looks. After the visit of such a beautiful lady like Queen Alexandria, Merrick felt alive once more whereby he was treated like an ordinary man and not a monster. After the visit from Queen Alexandria, Merrick began to pursue his dreams of watching a theatre play and living in a country side. Dr. Treves fulfilled Merrick’s dream and that had changed the course of the novel whereby Merrick felt too comfortable being a normal person when he decided to sleep by lying flat on the bed. That action had caused him to break his neck and met his death. If it wasn’t because of the visit from Queen Alexandria, Merrick would end up living alone in a lighthouse thinking that nobody would want to be friends with a monster.
Moby Dick From the novel “Moby Dick” by Herman Meville that I studied, one incident that changed the course of the novel was when Captain Ahab’s ship; Pequod met with the Rachel (another whaling ship). The captain of the Rachel, Captain Gardiner asked a favour from Captain Ahab to look after his son who got drifted away in the effort of killing the white whale. Unfortunately,
Captain Ahab refused to the request but in turn continued for his quest to find the white whale leaving the Rachel to continue looking for the captain’s son. If Captain Ahab agreed to join together Captain Gardiner to look for his son, Captain Ahab may not come across the white whale and the whole crew may also survive. Most importantly, Ishmael may not be alive and saved by the Rachel that thought he was Captain Gardiner’s son. Ishmael might not survive to tell the story. This incident had changed the course of the novel making it adventurous and fulfilling.
We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea From the novel “We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea” by Arthur Ransome, one incident that changed the course of the novel was when the fuel of the sail boat, Goblin went out. After the Goblin cannot be put to sail because there was no wind, Jim anchors the boat and decided to go ashore to get some petrol. He leaves the children in the yacht and gets John to take charge. After being gone for more than six hours, the children got worried as the tide is rising. Then, John decided to steer the sail boat to Holland. That incident changed the course of the novel. If it had not been because of the petrol, the children might not be bravely sailing the boat to the unknown.

Section D (Question 7)
The Elephant Man From the novel “The Elephant Man” by Tim Vicary, I noticed quite a number of happy moments were cited in the novel. My first recall would be when Merrick was given his own room at the hospital. The first room was a bathroom for him to wash himself and the second room had a bed, table and chairs. In this room, Merrick can spend his time reading books in which he liked it very much. For Merrick, the characters in the books were alive like us and that made him very happy. The second moment was when the Queen of England, Queen Alexandria visited Merrick at the hospital. Merrick felt happy because he was treated like a person and it was also the first time he had had a female visitor. He mentioned to the Queen that he was very happy because he had a home, friends and his books.
Moby Dick From the novel “Moby Dick” written by Herman Meville, I noticed that there existed two important moments where the characters felt happy. The first moment was when Captain Ahab showed his face after three weeks of sailing. Captain Ahab was holding a bag of gold. He offered the gold to anybody who can inform him about the presence of a white whale. The first one to inform him will get the gold. That moment was a happy moment for all of the sailors because they were not making much money as sailors and getting that gold would make them able to buy a lot of nice things.
The second moment was when Fedallah shouted, “The white whale” for the first time after months of sailing. After the second shower, the sailors could see a white reflection in the water. Captain Ahab saw it too. His face was as happy as a child’s face on Christmas morning. That was a happy moment for Captain Ahab and it was a happy moment for the rest of the sailors too.
We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea From the novel “We Didn’t Mean To Go to Sea” by Arthur Ransome, a happy moment was recollected by me was when the children had met their father in Holland. After they had reached Flushing in Holland, the children seemed lost of not knowing what to do in an alien place. The pilot was surprised to see that there was no adult on the sail boat. Soon after that, their father came to them. The pilot gives them charts for the North Sea so that they can sail back home. The children tell their father that Mother and Jim do not know about what has happened to them. Father sends a telegram to his friend to Shotley and asks his friend to send a telegram to Mother so that Mother will think that the children have sent a telegram from Shotley. They buy some supplies for their journey and five pairs of Dutch wooden shoes to bring back home. The children are happy that their Father is with them. That was a happy moment for John and his siblings.
