A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed

He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need:
If thou sorrow, he will weep;
If thou wake, he cannot sleep:
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.


― William Shakespeare, The Passionate Pilgrim


I never have any interest to play with some people who are not underdogs. I did not mean for being rude by using underdog, but at some points I realize I cannot get along well with famous people. You know what I mean, like Mean Girls movie. three prettiest girls at school and an average girl who is far from it. But mostly, they love me for joining them, but this heart cannot tell lies. It mostly says 'no, you don't belong in this group' or 'no, they bring you bad influences'. The latter one happens all the time. I also don't intend to say I have some friends that I have been chatting with, but maybe because I have been there for some people (who mostly pretend they were friends at the beginning), whenever they are in need, I'm getting used to it. 

As I grow older, I realize I think it is not wise to think negatively towards them. I need to start thinking about the real thing, that they are INDEED in need, like they send me signal fire through dream so it is sent to me somehow. 

There are some who are just different. Like I really want to help them, because I find myself I can share my careness to them. Whenever they are desperately in need, I just cannot let them in despair. It is like I cannot sleep well when their business are not finished yet. And I become happy too if they are happy because they are un-attached from burdens. Maybe you would find me fake or something else, but I  am pretty shocked too, 'cause I just realized it lately. 

Maybe I've been a person who loves being asked for a help.

 As for now, I really don't care if they would stab me at my back or do bad treatment whatsoever, in the end. My parents keep reminding me that you have a scroll of deeds, so you can fill it with whatever you want. I simply just want to help. So I would never ask for them to return the favor. At least that is what I need to learn from now. It is hard. And the journey to Heaven is such a long one. That is why I stop wanting it, and be a good person inside and out, instead.

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

The reign of the Puritans also produce a large amount of literature (poetry, prose), but drama could not thrive because it is prohibited by the authorities.

Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen Movie

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic...
