am i being too much?
who said u cant take shots in the MPH...hmmm..haha...i have no idea how to put across my mock iop. the urge to slam them is retarding my ability to come up with a good objective thesis question for no other city. but at the same time i may be totally wrong about the book..so oh well...aiyar plus so tired also...im actually looking forward to tmr mornings meeting...things with van and arthur often flow clearly..even when stressed...dunno about stuff in the afternoon though..hope it goes fine...tired tired.hans needs to start being objective about the book.
possible questions:
1. lack of culture as a reason for the over romanticism in the writings of Singaporean poets
too societal, not literary and text based enough. but i really think the lack of culture might be one of the main reasons for over romanticism. theres just no culture to write about, so we talk about trees as though they mean the world to us and we want to hug one everytime we see them along the street- as described by ferd
2. The different ways poets view foreign workers and nation building in Foreign Worker Cutting Trees and Cranes. Which one genuinely reflects the average Singaporean?
ah..i think this one addresses the issue best. felt like i was grasping at thin air for awhile. hope i dont forget all the points tomorrow.
Which one do u think is more accurate?
Both agree that foreign workers are disregarded and really suffer.
But one is apathetic about it. The other says that they suffer at gargantuan mystical extents, "angelic messengers in white plumage." (which really didnt sound realistic) It also almost implies that because they suffer at such great extents, they should be almost equally recognized as well, and that a tremendous injustice exists against them. Thats his view.
which one do you think genuniely reflects how singaporeans view foreign workers? dont like how cranes over mystifies and dramatizes foreign worker's labor.
oh well..so late...time to sleep.
