Peer Evaluation
Seriously, I think that peer evaluation is a very 'exciting' and 'nervous' activity. It is more stressful to be evaluated by our own freidns rather than the tutor and lecturer. Personally, I would think this way because peer evaluation is done by a big number of people in the class while tutor evaluation is done by only one tutor. so, I tend to feel uneasy to be 'watched' by so many pairs of eyes, knowing that they will judge you from tip to toe. Every posture, speech, action and reflect will be evaluated. Of course, somehow I know that peer evaluation can encourage you for better improvement than tutor evaluation. This is because friends are the persons who stay with you all the time, knowing most of your behaviors and attitude. Therefore, I would say they understadn me more than the tutor. However, peer evalutaion is prone to be bias as our friendds normally won't judge us from our presentation only, but also from our performance in the course. Of course, I have been one of those who evaluate our own friends. I think I would know what weakness and strong points my friends have and pay attention to these while evaluating them. So, I couldn't deny that I may view that subjectively. Nevertheless, I would give my sincere opinion on their presentations in order to help them in improving. Most of us are going to be teachers one day and I hope we can really handle the responsibility as educators.
Deepak- The Best Man in The World
I have to say that Deepak is the best character that I have ever seen in the plays. His character is so good that I think it is so hard to find even in this society today. After being rejected by Mala, he is so determined that he dares to visit Mala's mother--Shanta, for her approval and help. This shows that he really leaves behind the risk of being humiliated. He really loves Mala more than his own dignity. Furthermore, knowing that Mala has an un-speak-able problem in her heart that contributes to her behaviors today, he is willing to go to the therapist and find solutions to save her from the hell. What a great man he is. As a successful man he is, Deepak does not need to do all these and he can have other better girls perhaps. However, his loyalty gives him this bravery to achieve Mala's love and trust. Therefore, if compared to Mala's uncle and the paper wallah who place female in a very low position, Deepak is certainly the best choice of Mala's.
A Streetcar named Desire...
The play 'A Streetcar named Dersire' evolves between two sisters, named Blanche and Stella. In my point of view, Blanche who always have intimate relationships with her students is actually one of the victims. She suffers failure in her marriage in which she finds out that her husband is a gay. Before she can really accept this cruel truth, her husband is killed! What a double-attack for her. Moreover, she has no family there to support her through this trauma. Hence, I would think that a fragile female like her is sure not able to stand this whole tragedy. Due to this, I think her sister, Stella is in fault that she chooses her husband over her sister. As the saying goes, 'blood is thicker than water.' I think she should try harder to settle her sister, instead of giving up on her and sending her to the mental institution. This is so selfish. And, since her husband can do this brutal act to her sister, I'm sure he will do the same to other women. This is totally not a correct attitude in a marriage. Stella shouldn't just close one eye and continue to live like this.
