Linguistic

I shall adapt the scene "One-Shot Finch" into an drama play for the linguistic task.

On a peaceful and quiet Saturday,

Jem: I cannot wait to test on rifles on rabbits or squirrels!

Scout: Why don't we try it beyond the Radley Place.

(Scout notices Jem squinting at something down the street)

Scout: Whatcha looking at?

Jem: The old dog down yonder.

Scout: Ain't that old Tim Johnson?

Jem: I'm gonna tell Cal

(Both of them raced back to the kitchen)

Jem(panting): There something wrong with an old dog down yonder

(Jem imitates the dog by gulping like a goldfish, hunched his shoulders and twitched his torso)

Cal: Ain't you weaving a story?

Jem: I swear cross my heart it ain't fake!

Cal: Whatcha waiting for? Lead the way!

(We led her beyond the Radley place)

Cal: Oh my gosh!

Cal(frantically): Back to the house!

(Cal hurriedly went to the telephone and shouted for Mr Finch)

Cal: I swear to God there's a mad dog down yonder......yessir

(Hung up the phone an rung again)

Cal: Miss Eula May, call whoever's got a phone on this street, tell 'em that a mad dog comin'!

(This moment, a Black Ford swung into the driveway)

(Teck Hate and Atticus emerged)

Atticus: Stay inside son

(Atticus slowly rubbed his hand down the side of his thigh)

Atticus: There he is...

(Jem and Scout whispered to each other and discussed about the appearance of the dog)

(Tim Johnson reached the side-street that ran in front of Radley Place)

Atticus: He's within range........Cal go in

(Cal went it and latched the screen door)

Teck: Take him, Mr finch

Atticus(shaking his head): Don't just stand there.....

Teck: For God's sake, I can't shoot that well and you know it.

Atticus: I haven't shot in 30 years

Teck: I'd feel mighty comfortable if you do so now

(Atticus raised his glasses)

(With movements so swift, Atticus yanked a ball-tipped lever as he brought the gun to his shoulder)

There was a moment of silence......

( Cal prayed beneath her breath)
(The rifle crackled)

Tom Johnson leaped, flopped over and crumpled on the sidewalk........

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

I would like to friends with Atticus as he is portrayed as a man with morals, he will uphold justice even if he is the minority, he is very humble as he does not flaunt his strengths and instead chooses to hide them. If I befriended Atticus, I am sure that he will lead me onto the path of righteousness. Furthermore, he is very patient,and he does not demands much and I am sure he would not flare up if I made a minor mistake, thus I would not feel under pressure. He possesses courage in unique ways such as standing up for Tom Robinsons, the courage to stand against the majority. I find it extremely noble that Atticus pursues justice at the sake of his family being teased/mocked. By giving more priority to justice than his family, he shows that he has an extremely strong sense of righteousness. On top of that, Atticus loves to read books, by being a close friend with him I am sure to pick up the habit and it would be beneficial for my studies. Furthermore, he would be able to help me with my studies as he has knowledge. Hence, with him guiding me in my daily life, I can perceive the world I see today in an different eye, how people are being the victim of discrimination. I am sure that he would influence me to do the right thing and I would be like him when I grow up.

M.I. Test

After taking the M.I. Test, it shows that I am an linguistic and intrapersonal person. Followed by interpersonal, logical, kinesthetic, naturalist, visual/spatial and music smart. I am amazed when I am language smart as I do not have a flare for any language. Well, I think that I know myself well --- what my goals are, what I want most etc and I also consider other's feeling when interacting with them. I am definitely logical, I am able to visualise the steps needed to accomplish certain things. For the rest, I do not really have an interest in them, music --- no background, naturalist --- no interest. So, time to get down and do the assignment
