Last week tutorial was fun. We had to come with a stand by comparing two short stories, The Marry Main and Great Injustice. My group consists of Gogi, Mohan, Saw, Zahri and myself. Our stand was abortion is not the way to help children out of wedlock. We compare the action of the protagonist of both stories Lakshmi and Ah Nya. In Great Injustice, Ah Nya aborts her baby because of the society pressure. At the end of the story, she mentions that society made her make that decision not her. While, Lakshmi in The Marry Maid, kept her new born baby at Johan’s house doorstep so that he can adopt the baby. Lakshmi is a person that will want to make others happy and wouldn’t want to snatch it away from them. It is being selfless. For example, Lakshmi being portrayed as the "Goddess of Wealth" in the hinduism. The wealth here is not only the money but also the care and love towards our own child.
In this both stories, we can clearly see that there are many ways to help children out of wedlock. Abortion is not the only way or only solution for it. They can hand over the babies to adoption centre around the country and now government even come out with a new programme , that is “Bank Bayi”. Many groups come out with their own stands. It was interesting. It was like a debate when all of us give us our own opinion towards the topic.
Next was the biggest heart attack for us. Miss Alicia assigned us the supervisors that we will be working with for our project paper. I was given Dr. Jaya whom I am very familiar with. I am very lucky to get him as my supervisor. On week six I need to meet him and discuss about my topic. Talking about topic, I don’t have any topic in my mind! This subject has no exams yet it has many assignments! At first I thought this course is to make us relax but I yet to see it.
Now we are in Chinese New Year mood. Happy holidays guys.. To my chinese friends Gong Xi Fa Cai.. May the year of the Rabbit brings prosperity to your homes.. =)
