IT Home Learning Day 1 (To Kill a Mockingbird)


Hi readers , today is IT Home Learning Day 1 !

Now , I am going to complete a task given about TKAM. Although there are many other choices to choose from , I would like to choose "Intrapersonal" as I would wanna do the task on my own , without asking help from others. Below is the choices given for "Intrapersonal" , I will then continue to give me answer. Hope you enjoy reading it !


Intrapersonal [pick one] :

a. Who would you want to be friends with in the novel ? Explain.

b. Which character would you like to play in the movie version of the novel. Explain.

c. Write a diary entry for a major character of the novel.


My Answer ( Choice A ) :

I would want to make friends with Jeremy Atticus Jem Finch. Being one of the main characters in the novel , Jem plays a very important role of being Scout's elder brother. I feel that he is a brave young gentleman who is always courageous and caring for others. Furthermore, Jem is also a kind and friendly boy who is seldom angry or moody. In the novel , he is always protecting his sister indirectly. Let say the scene where Scout got into a fight in school. Although Jem did not assist his sister , Jem stopped the fight as he knew that if he didnt do so , either side would get injured. In other words , Jem actually didnt want his sister to get hurt.

On another occasion , we can see that Jem takes responsibility in the things that he do. At one point of time in the novel , Atticus was called a nigger-lover which caused Jem and Scout both to be very unhappy. Everyday when they went to school and passed by Mrs Dubose's house , Mrs Dubose would start saying that Atticus is a nigger-lover and scold him using lots of vulgarities. After a few days , Jem got really annoyed and went to cut off Mrs Dubose's garden's plants. As such , Atticus was informed of this and he then forced Jem and Scout to tell Mrs Dubose stories everyday. Although Jem was unwillingly to do so , I suppose he felt that he had to take responsibility of what he did and to "apologize" to Mrs Dubose by telling her stories.

As such , Jem is an easy person to get along with and start conversations with. Having such a friend is really one in a million. All in all , I conclude that if I had the chance , I would want to make friends with Jem as he is very likable.

Multiple Intelligence test


Hi once again , today I am going to express my views about the recent Multiple Intelligence Test which I have taken. The chart on the left shows the results of my Multiple Intelligence Test.
When I first heard about the test , I was quite curious about it as it sounded as if it could really tell you personality.
However , when I started reading the 40 questions that I had to answer , I realised that the questions were very vague and can be interpret in many ways. Despite so , I completed the test with ease and managed to get the results.
After so , I stared at the chart for a few seconds and found that it was pretty inaccurate. Judging from my true self , I feel that I am a more Logical person instead of a Linguistic person. Furthermore, I found many other flaws in my results and find the test totally inaccurate.
