Critiques

Style
-I like the style that she used in this story, the way she started the story and how she express the charcters concern towards his friend. Besides. the style that she used is quite easy for the reader to understand the story. Beside I also like the way she used the word “cha” because it shows the culture of the characters. More over, the way she include other information which happened in the past is quite good.

Suspension of disbelief
-The way she writes is quite clear and easy for the reader to understand what is happening because the setting is real and the character’s behaviors are something which anyone would react when they are in such situation.


Things need to be improve
Language
-In my opinion, I think may be she can improve on the language of her writing, She can improve on the spelling, use more complex sentences and vocabulary to make the context looks rich which can improve the quality of her writing.
Quality of writing

-The quality of the writing also can be improve is she can use more figurative language. It will leave more effect on the readers.
Descriptive passage from your story
As preeti stepped into the small wooden dusty room , her hands started to shake, tears fell down from her eyes like river. She stares at the room with her disappointed eyes. The room was far smaller than her room. A grey broken cupboard just located few steps from where Preeti was standing. The windows were covered in mud as if it was not been cleaned for ages. She walked slowly towards the bed as she noticed that there were spider webs around the bed so she decided to just rest herself on the brown cheap tiles. She thought, everything seems to be gloomy now, yet she has to accept the reality that this is how she has to live the rest of her life now. Suddenly, preeti’s mother in law shouted in anger “ preeti! Where are you!”. Preeti wiped her tears and hurrily ran towards the door in a speed of light in her heavy red bridal Saree. "clean the dishes now!" she said with a serious expression on her face. Preeti stood numbly and stared at her mother in law. she was suprised. she dint know how she was supposed to react towards it as she just ask her mother in law permission to change her clothes before she can start washing them.

critic on "nothing is true"

-i like the way she presented her ideas and how she trid to portray the way she pictured a fight between a girl and her boyfriend.

- i like the way she used the word " sayang" which shows nativisation.
-the wrong use of punctuation marks, perhaps she did not double checked before posting it

however, things need to be improved is grammar mistakes such as singular and plural mistakes and sopme sentence are not in a proper structure

-use of unnecessary adjectives such as emotionally

- may be she can describe more about the setting.

"nothing is true"

Dialogue practice

“I never want to see you again!” she said in her rough voice while pointed her finger to the man who wearing black jacket and holding a blue umbrella.

“What happened my dear?” Abdullah said as his face turned numb and his eyes looks confused, he steps towards Preeti who is wiping away her tears with her white cotton flowery handkerchief.

“I just got a call from your doctor this evening, She said as she cried even louder, “he told me that your next treatment for chemotherapy is tomorrow” preeti walk towards Abdullah , who is standing at the corner of the road and trying to avoid his eyes from preeti.

“Watch out!” Abdullah ran towards preeti in a speed of light and push her aside as he sees a blue Mercedes is coming towards preeti who is standing at the middle of the road of Jalan Cempaka which is 3 miles from Abdullah’s small cottage. “I was scared to tell you” Abdullah burst into tears and wipe his nose with his blue shirt. “I thought you would not be able to accept the truth” he said as his tears started to falls on his cheeks.

hyperlink poetry project

Question I answered,
To untie braid of feelings
Says me to the fish
Don’t seek comfort in green trees
When you belong to the sea
(zainab A129231)

Today,
Melancholy feelings I left behind
Without any fear of regret I stand
Today,
On a highway like bougainvilleas and hibiscus
Rhythms of freedom I utter
Today,
Complicated math that ran inside my mind
Like algebra and arithmetic
I’m glad I’m done with the trauma.
