Articles of Death...What do I think of THEM?

All right...my lecturer Sir Mark, (PS: is not a knight of England) who is teaching Critical Literacy gave ME an assignment about four articles to review and it was TORTURE

My imagination of torture... 

I mean it was not difficult to understand the article. I knew what each article wanted from me...
but COME ON!
Four at once?! Maybe I am overdoing it like a banshee cause during the duration of the assignment I was busy with work from both class and being a facilitator for the juniors. But it gave me a difficult time...and I wasn't the only one.

The article consist of four experts form books of all kinds of topic and all each article had one thing in common. It will drive a person where they stand in the article. 

Should I be a liar to succeed? Should I stop thinking and let go? Do I deserve to be less happy than the high class people? Why should I pity the Jews when they have no pity for us Muslims?! 

These were the questions I asked myself when I started reading the assignment. And they were times I wanted to cry when I could not choose a side. We all can't be Mr or Mrs Switzerland, right?
 I understood what Sir Mark was trying to tell us. 

Switzerland known as the neutral zone.

There are times where we have to put our foot down and choose. It might conflict with others and you would be screaming and shouting to defend your position. But it matures us. It determines who we are in the future. We are still ugly ducklings. Not yet beautiful, pure swans.

But...our time we'll come. Insyallah.


Imagine a ugly, duckling grew could grow into the elegant swan...
