Journal Entry 4: Movie- The Road Home

Question : Give your opinion about the mother's love towards her husband.

The movie , “The Road Home” portrays  the beautiful of endless love. This story is about a girl named Di who fully falls in love with a young teacher named Lou who just came to her village due to his duty. There were many obstacles and challenges before she finally got to marry her husband but no matter how hard the challenges were, she will go through everything with a strong heart and wills for the sake of her love towards her husband. After what she have been through, she even willing to wait for her love in the heavy snow and sick. Plus, she even stood in the same place every day for 2 years and wait for her love to come back and get married. After a few years, her husband died and she wanted her husband to be carried from the city to the village like their traditional culture and also wanted their memories together to be remembered by passing through the road where her husband used to use. 

In my opinion, the mother's love towards her husband are really strong because she rather to wait and do anything for her man in her life. She had to face all the hardship alone. And I think this is really nice movie. 

Journal Entry 6: Mariah

Question :  Choose a character from Mariah. Explain what are the things that you would like to change about the story (or character) and why?

The character that I would like to choose is  I would like to choose a character of Cik Yam a Imam wife to change. The character of Cik Yam should be change like this. In the original story Cik Yam is a very good wife, she does not like to take care of the personal matter and did not easy to believed what the people around her say about her husband. She always look calm when people talk about her husband. She also knows how to cook well. She knows hos to treat people nicely. If I am a writer of this story, I will change Cik Nab's character as she is  such a busy body woman int he village. She loves to gossiping and loves to busy body with people's matter. Even though she is Imam's wife, she do not know how to cook well like Mariah, she also do not know how to treat her husband well and the same time she very easy to believe in what people are saying about her husband. And that is the main reason why Imam wants to get married with Mariah. So I think, Cik Yam's character should be changed.
