How pollution effects on me


The Disrupting Flying White Ghost

Nowadays, the life living of earth is in danger. The hot temperature on it has been increasing day by day. It occurs because of the high amount of pollution in our surrounding. There is no doubt that excessive levels of pollution are causing a lot of damage in the environment. Due to the modernization era, the pollution cases have been decaying everything not only the healthy environment but also my beloved life. I wished to breathe in my life comfortably. I wanted to enjoy the spreading fresh air freely in every second of my life. Therefore, I definitely hate the smoke. The smoke has altered the spreading fresh air become a flying white ghost which has been disrupting my beloved life. This disrupting flying ghost was getting on my nerves recently.
On Sunday morning, the beautiful grumble voice of my mother woke me up in a sudden. She held her ugly long broom exactly in front of my face. Then, she pointed it to the three big buckets which is full of dirty clothes beside the toilet. I was speechless while noticing her angry face. I showed her a nod directly. It meant I should move from the bedroom to the toilet soon. I received a command as a regular servant on Sunday who had to wash those three big buckets of dirty clothes. Two hours later, I took a breath deeply. While erasing my forehead sweat, I had finished my washing activity and put the clothes up in the drying ground.
When I was sitting down calmly in the kitchen, surprisingly I got the couch and I was so difficult to breathe. Everything was seen hazy because of the smoke which filled my house. In a hurry, I tried to check all of stuff that could cause smoke. I did not find anything wrong in my house. Then, I went out of the house in order to give myself space to breathe well and I got the source of this panic event. In fact, the smoke came from the trash burning that located right behind my house. “Oh, I see!”, I felt better knowing that my house was safe because it was just a smoke from trash burning. Although that smoke made me difficult to breath, personally I thought this smoke would not give me really bad effect.
I looked for the towel in order to take a bath. When I took it, suddenly my hands and my legs became so numb. My blood flew very fast and my heart bit very quick. I found very bad smell in all of my drying clothes. I was sure it was caused by the smoke which came from the trash burning several hours ago. Without having a long thought, I walked rashly to the location of that trash burning. I was angry while grumbling loudly along the way. Unluckily, someone who did it had escaped without any sign. I cursed him cruelly. I hoped that guy would suffer this kind of panic event more than me. It was getting on my nerves at that time. That smoke made my clothes in the drying ground so stinky and I should rewash all of it. “God, please strengthen me!” I was going to cry emotionally in redoing that tired activity.
Every kinds of smoke are like a disrupting flying ghost for me in term of pollution cases. Wherever and whenever I go, I would either scream loudly or hide rashly because this disrupting flying ghost haunted me. I hated to experience an event that made my stuffs became so stinky. I always showed my bad angry face when I found it. I could not keep my horses in front of the people who caused it. In short, this part of air pollution had decayed my beloved life.

Prose Analysis


The Yellow Wallpaper Analysis
By Rizka Elliyin (10320023)

                The Yellow Wallpaper is a thoughtful story which was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This story was first published in 1899 by Small & Maynard Boston, MA. The Yellow Wallpaper tells about the problem of a family and the mystery of The Yellow Wallpaper that this family had. 
               First character in this story is the woman as the protagonist and as the narrator too, who  disagree with her husband thinking. John, her husband is the antagonist who works as a doctor. He is a flat character as a successful doctor who take care his wife’s health. Afterwards, the woman, the john’s wife is the round character who is annoyed because of the wallpaper itself. Actually, the direct method of characterization was applied in this story. The narrator visualizes the character by telling it directly in the story.
             The setting is in a rented house during the summer. The house is the colonial mention that the woman guessed is scared. The house is surrounded by gardens and woods with a lovely shaded winding road. Somehow, the room in which the woman stays is the main setting. The scared yellow wallpaper is located at that room. Suddenly, the woman feels that the wallpaper became a moving prison while john never notices about its presence.
             This story has an interesting plot with chronological order. The exposition happens when the narrator or the woman feels bad in the rented house, then when the woman want to spent her time writing but her husband forces her to take a rest. The rising action takes place when the woman begins despondent with the shades of someone who trapped within the yellow wallpaper.

The denouement occurs when john is really confused  to face of his wife’s craziness. The conclusion happens when the narrator or the wife try hard  to pass the mystery of wallpaper in which she has reached a freedom at the end. 
                The surprised horror thing in this story is the narrator gets the difficulty to understand her own self. She observes herself has a relationship with someone who trapped in wallpaper. However, she has brought herself apart in getting free of it.

Narrative Short Essay



The Unforgettable Saturday at Homestay

My homestay was the annoying place. Everyone did their own businesses which made it crowded all the time. They speak loudly each others, listen to the highest degree volume of music, and have an impersonal chat when they were standing in line in front of the bathroom. All of my friends usually go home on weekend. Unfortunately, my roommate also went home this weekend. Somehow, I decided to stay at homestay because my home is too far. Having a little surprise at the end, I have to pass my day although I was alone.

I woke up late on Saturday morning. I glanced at my alarm clock on the table. Then, I closed my eyes to sleep again. A little while later, I was shocked that it had already 7 a.m. “Damn it! Why does no one wake me up?”  I screamed. “God, I am alone here”. I realized it while scratching my head spontaneously. I felt hungry; I looked for something rashly in my food box. In fact, I found nothing to eat. I began either despondent or desperate. At noon, I was definitely starving. No one existed whom I could beg for some foods. So, I decided to buy some foods in the nearest shop. I rode my bike quickly, but I only got two small pieces of bread there.

When night came, my homestay was really quiet. It seemed that I was in a horrible grave. Therefore, I watched some funny videos on my laptop to kill my fear. Suddenly, the lamp turned off. I could not see anything except the little light from my laptop screen. After that, I heard someone knocking the door of my room. The sounds of knocking became harder and harder. I opened the door fearfully and found the person right in front of me. She is the owner of my homestay standing with her daughter. She gave me a red square box. The tempting fragrance came from it. In hurry, I opened the box and saw a crunchy fried chicken with mayonnaise, a bowl of warm cooked rice and some fresh veggies. It was a box of KFC as a gift of her daughter’s birthday. “Thanks God!” I smiled happily. Fortunately, when she knew that I was alone, she gave the other small oval box of cake to me.

A little surprise at the end made me feel glad. Staying at homestay alone gave me chance to be more autonomous. I should decide everything by myself. Although I was alone, I tried to enjoy my life as good as possible. That was the memorable Saturday for me. ^_^

First Poem in Poetry Class



The Rebellion of an Orphan

I stood for a long time expecting miracles
Waiting for someone who loves me as a child
No one came down erasing my warm tears
Even gave me a hand bringing my inscrutable mind

                I became fearful in this hypocrite chaos world
                My little heart has turned to a hard rock
                Let me make mistakes experiencing this real chord
                Even it means I might be naive and freak

I sneaked out finding the wonderful horizon
Breaking out the sunshine free in dark way
My soul will reach the glory of misery season
Till God takes my awful fate away

                The rebellion of an orphan
                Till the red blood dry
                The rebellion of an orphan
                Till the black angel cry
