The new has been discovered!

At the beginning of Wednesday class, we were taught about the theme of the play “Antigone”. Lecturer called out some of our names to go to the front of the class to write the theme of the play. Most of us have the chance to attempt this task and lecturer tried to explain to us what is a good theme and the appropriate theme for the play. Then, we were given the appropriate theme of the play by our lecturer. After that, we started the lesson by reading the new play “Pygmalion” by George Bernard Shaw. The new play was totally different from “Antigone”. By reading this play, I get a new insight to a new play which is not so much about tragic but it is closer to our recent lives. The play is about a flower girl, Eliza, who speaks lousy or non-standard English. Then, this girl met with a linguistics professor, Mr Higgins who later will teach her about pronunciation and phonetics that make her a lady out of a flower girl. I found that the play was rather humorous as the girl speaks English that is hard to be comprehended. She also made a lot of awful sound such as “Ah-ah-ow-ow-oo-oo”. It is so funny. After reading for a while, soon, our lesson stopped at the last part of Act 1. Lecturer asked us to do some reading at home before our next class on Friday and we will start reading the rest of the play on the next class. I love reading this play as it is humorous and funny! Really. It is funny!
