Image
Society Background This period were having some development phases just like the previous period, Elizabethan. The opposite look from Elizabeth period can be seen clearly from a lot of internal conflicts happened at the time. The social society background surely affected the literature side, so you can see that most of literary works at this period were accentuating the depressed and gloomy sides of the world.It is just different with Elizabeth period. But what do you know about puritan actually? Puritanism was a religious reform movement that arose within the Church of England in the late sixteenth century.If we bring this word back to our era, we can find in any dictionary that puritan means someone who obeys to strict religious principles; someone opposed to sensual pleasures. If we find a group of religious people who think that living lavishly and secularism is not a good thing in life, then they can be considered as puritan. Now, if we go back to the era where this word came...

It Will All End in Tears

It's been weeks, or ages for the last time she threw herself into words on her journal. She was in state of keeping hatred, and knew it was not good (at all). So what did she do to evaporate this kind of toxic feeling?  She avoided the source of it . She skipped classes. She understood that she would reap something from this habit, like not getting anymore As for some lectures. But, she felt the hatred she had burned fiercely if she kept seeing them (even) from afar. It was like she didn't even want to share the same air with them. And she had responsible to keep this fragile heart stay red, otherwise it would be burned black. One day, she shared her miserable college life to her ex bf. And he kept heating up her spirit to hurry that life and graduate soon. Lastly, he said that she was one of his favorite girl, for she had been through a lot of shit and still kept the best smile she could throw. Well, when we find out there is no one there to encourage us anymore, the...

I DID IT!

Image
The examination of my thesis proposal went well yesterday! Just couldn't describe how grateful I am... This journey is starting to come to an end so I can embrace a new phase of life! I don't want to brag it, yet I feel like I am proud with myself (is that okay?) But yeah! I did it without cheating, or lobbying anyone, or the Dean of my faculty (teehee!)! Because there are some people who brag for their intimacy with the Dean. Well, yeah just wait until the moment of truth of yours really come to your face. Our Dean is just too kind, which is okay for me. I only question the mental illness that reside in some people's mind. They use the kindness of our Dean for avoiding their responsibility. That is not good, fellas.  So, I would say that you can be proud with the intimacy you have, but don't stab my Dean (in the end) the way you lobby and then stab our pretty lecturer, Mrs. xxx. ;)

Finally... Alhamdulillah...

I haven't faced it yet.  What is it actually? It is an half-final examination of being an English letter's scholar for almost 4 years. Tomorrow is a big day, indeed! I am going to present my thesis proposal, which is entitled Feminism Analysis of Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Mulan and Brave Movies.   Wish me tons of luck, fellas! I feel like floating in the air. Half of my body is deflating. I have mixed feelings ranging from anxious, exhausted, frightened and nervous, of course! I still feel like I have nothing inside le brain, yet I have made it. My thesis proposal has been examined with the board of examiners. They are okay with it. My other two friends and I have hurried ourselves in compiling our proposals. We are not being cocky for what we have achieved, yet some haters are still making up this thing as a huge thing. Well, I can say nothing for this kind of behavior. Whether they have bad attitude or what, I really don't give a damn about it....
