I decided to read on the stories so I was finding for the template as I was finding I found a piece of paper on the tales that Dr. Edwin ask the class to find on Asian tales that shows child sacrifice to the parents. My story was about attracting the mosquito to drink his blood so that he could safe his parents. Unfortunately Dr.edwin did not discuss the tales that he asked us to find. I just keep it and I hope he would discuss it later.

The unfinished class … 25 September 2008

As Dr. Edwin continued the lesson on limericks and parody, I remembered that last Thursday we had a class but the lesson was uncompleted as Dr. Edwin left the class. Dr. Edwin was explaining on the essay Shooting an Elephant. He was explaining in detail on the meaning of Empire and on the British. I was into the lesson and I was enjoying listening Dr. Edwin’s explanation. As he was explaining, some of my course mate came in late. It is known that Dr.Edwin don’t like late comer but they came in late as they have to help a researcher to complete her research. The researcher finishes her research late thus disrupting Dr. Edwin’s teaching. He got angry and just left the class. I was shock and at the same time sad as Dr. Edwin did not finish the lecture today.
I thought he would continue the lesson today, but Dr.Edwin continued with a new topic which is limericks and parody.
