Assignment
Siti Rahmah has informed you about our assignment today. I hope you can do the task within the two hours.
Read the following Book Review and then discuss what you think about the topic. This can be done individually if you want.
Better Single Than Sorry
Better Single Than Sorry A frank, insightful and entertaining book by a glamorous US TV star about how there is more to life than being in a relationship for the sake of it, and how to be happy even if you are single.
'It's time for women to start telling the world - and each other - why it's better to be single than sorry. Yes, it's great to have a boyfriend or a husband, and I'm not suggesting women give up the idea of happily ever after, but I don't believe in settling... The truth is, we know what we're looking for and we must never sell ourselves short.'
Life can be fabulous on your own - the antidote to dating books!
BETTER SINGLE THAN SORRY has a simple, refreshing and powerful message. It's far better to be single than to end up with someone who doesn't make you happy just because you want to be in a couple, feel pressured by society / your friends / your mother, or you want to get married or have kids. She's all for compromising and being realistic, but she encourages women not to settle for the sake of it.
Chapters include:
* Being Single is Not a Curse
* It Takes Guts to be On your Own
* Don't Play Hard to Get - Be Hard to Get
* 50 Reasons Why it's Great to be Single
* But All My Friends are Married...
* Stop Believing You Can't do Better
* Throw Away the Picture of your Ideal Man
* Don't Talk yourself into Liking a Guy
* Basic Instinct - Trust Yours
* What you Want Versus what you Need
Some information on the author of the book.
Jennifer Schefft is well known in the US as the glamorous girl who turned down not one but two opportunities to get hitched to the seemingly 'perfect' man live on TV (The Bachelor and The Bachelorette) and caused massive controversy. Glamorous and refreshing, she has appeared on countless TV shows including Oprah, Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show and has graced the covers and pages of People magazine and many others publications.
The topic can be really sensitive. I hope you can be really critical and able to support your ideas and opinions.
Deadline for this discussion for Group 5 is today, 29th December 2009 by 5 P.M.
I will be checking! :)

On Trial: System That Locks Children up for Life Without Hope of Freedom
Protesters say teenagers must be given a chance of redemption - even if their crimes are horrific
by Andrew Purcell
NEW YORK - Of all the issues being considered by the Supreme Court this winter, none is more emotionally charged than life sentences for teenagers. The justices must decide whether sending minors to prison without any possibility of parole is a "cruel and unusual punishment" prohibited by the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. It is a narrow point of law, but the purpose of America's penal system is in the dock.
[Youths walk in a line at the Texas Youth Commission facility (Photograph: Duane A Laverty/AP) ]Youths walk in a line at the Texas Youth Commission facility (Photograph: Duane A Laverty/AP)
No other country locks up its children like the United States does. An Amnesty International report found just seven prisoners in Israel, four in South Africa and one in Tanzania serving life terms for crimes they committed before they were legally considered to be adults. There are 2225 such inmates in American jails - each one a stark reminder that in the desire to be tough on crime, faith in rehabilitation has been lost.
Defenders of the status quo argue that some rapists, murderers and violent criminals commit acts so heinous they deserve to be imprisoned for the rest of their lives, no matter how young they are.
The organisations challenging this include the National Association of Social Workers, Mothers Against Murders, the Correctional Chaplains Association, the Juvenile Law Centre and a list of religious groups who believe that however grave the offence, it is inhuman to offer a child no hope of redemption.
The Supreme Court abolished the death penalty for minors with its decision in Roper v. Simmons four years ago. In his majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that teenagers are less capable of making mature decisions, more likely to act impulsively and more susceptible to peer pressure than adults. He also observed that because their characters are not fully formed, they have more potential to become productive members of society.
The petitioners in Graham v. Florida argue that this reasoning should apply beyond capital crimes, especially where no death was involved. Terrance Graham robbed a woman at gunpoint in her home, a few weeks after completing a previous prison stint for armed burglary and assault. He was 17 years old. The judge sentenced him to life without parole.
The other case being considered by the Supreme Court, Sullivan v. Florida, concerns a mentally impaired 13-year-old who raped an elderly woman. As things stand, Joe Sullivan is one of at least 73 prisoners destined to remain behind bars until they die, for crimes that were committed before they turned 15.
The American Psychiatric Association's legal brief in his favour notes that neuroscience has shown that during puberty, areas of the brain associated with impulse control and risk evaluation are undeveloped. It concludes that "condemning an immature, vulnerable, and not-yet-fully-formed adolescent to die in prison is a constitutionally disproportionate punishment."
Quantel Lotts was 14 when he stabbed his step-brother Michael Barton to death, in what began as a play fight. The dead boy's mother has forgiven him, but the state of Missouri allows no such leniency, having sentenced him to life without parole on a charge of premeditated murder. In several states, there is no minimum age limit at which children can be tried as adults.
Because Sara Kruzan's father was in jail, she was raised by her drug-addicted mother. By her early teens, she had been coerced into working as a prostitute. The abuse continued for three years, until she killed her pimp. She too was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of being set free.
At the Supreme Court hearings, Shannon Goessling spoke for the National Organisation of Victims of Juvenile Lifers. "This system is not set up for rehabilitation," she told the judges. "It is set up for retribution and consequences." Jennifer Jenkins, whose sister was murdered by a teenager, said "there are some people who are so fundamentally dangerous that they can't walk among us."
Former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, part of a group of former offenders petitioning for Graham and Sullivan, gave an impassioned response. As a young man, he started fires, destroyed property, recklessly fired his gun and hit a policeman. "For God's sake, give the guy a chance," he said. "Sort them out case by case. You don't just salt them away for life."
Chief Justice John Roberts has suggested that because "death is different" the Roper ruling has no bearing on custodial sentences for minors. In all likelihood, the decision will again come down to Justice Kennedy.
At one point in the hearing, Mr Kennedy wondered: "What is the state's interest in keeping the defendant in custody for the rest of his life if he has been rehabilitated and is no longer a real danger?" US prisons currently hold 2.3 million people. The larger question is whether a country that incarcerates six times as many of its citizens as the average developed nation has any interest in rehabilitation at all?

Write the essay in no more than 450 words.
The essay is due next Monday, 6th July, 2009
Try to give real life examples to support your points. I believe you are already able to write essays with catchy introduction together with a parallel specific thesis statement. Topic sentences that are supported by details and examples. A refutation paragraph that can present the concession and your refutation and of course a very well-phrased conclusion. Well, enjoy your week without writing class while it lasts. You have a week to complete writing the essay. Feel free to do some Internet research regarding the topic. However, I always know when students plagiarize from somewhere. Till we meet again in class next week, insyallah.
Your teacher,

My Class... This is the class...
We had a breakfast party this morning after class. I was not in the mood to teach (is that possible?) and you guys had more mood to eat the nasi lemak. Yeah! I bet the nasi lemak was deliciuos and fattening (oopsie). Anyhow, I am glad that the semester is finally over (for me) but not for you. You still have to study for your EPT (Sunday). Please check the timetable at A&R.
I really had a great time teaching you all and want to thank you for all the supports you have given me (in the blog activities). Hopefully we can still continue blogging even if you are no longer my students.

In this entry, I want to hear your sincere comments on what you think about the utilization of blog in our Writing Class. Please be honest. Leave your comments before 12.30 tonight.
Your teacher,
Madam Zubaidah

Media
What type of media is newspaper? Most of you did not specify what kind of media is newspaper. I need you to do some research on media before coming to class for the second draft tomorrow. I have checked your language. Most have to work harder in proof-reading your own essay. Please stick to the words limit I have given earlier in the semester to avoid any deduction of marks. Please try to remember what you have written and do some revisions on Subject Verb Agreement before tomorrow. I have checked your essays and here are my comments for the mass:
1. The introduction does not give the focus of the topic. Instead of focusing on reading newspaper, most students give emphasis on reading in general.
2. Some of the supporting details are not relevant to the topics. Please give supporting details relevant to the topics when writing your second and final draft.
3. Number of words exceeded word limit.
4. Refutation paragraph. Please study the format again. Remember my lecture on how to write refutation paragraph. You do not use Point A, B, and C to support your refutation.
5. Of course: Subject verb agreement. Do, please do proof-read your essays before handing it in tomorrow. You must check your language.
6. Spelling: Do make sure you have the correct spelling for all the words. Some even spelled habit, habbits... it is not a rabbit.
There... please be prepared for the final draft tomorrow students... I will see in the morning.
