Catching up with Time

What a great relief as we sang the song “I’m quick and smart as I can be, Try and try but you can’t catch me” that marked the end of the theatre performance for the assignment EDU 3202 Theatre in TESL, evaluated by Puan Juridah Md Rashid last Saturday on 12 March 2005. "Mouse Deer and Tiger" adapted from Aaron Shepard’s Reader's Theatre "The Adventures of Mouse Deer" was a great success for the four of us considering the limited time we had to produce the play as it should be produced in the real theatre convention. At the end of the performance I was glad that all the research done not only for EDU 3202 Theatre in TESL but also for Dr Edwin’s EDU 3234 Research and Project Work for Teaching Literature in ESL Context has been very useful towards the production of the one act play we had performed.

Yesterday I re-embarked on Dr Edwin’s assigned tasks of which I had chosen “Rhinoceros” by Eugene Ionesco. I guess the position paper would be easier in compared to the research paper by the fact that I have yet to research another work of literature to compare “Rhiconeros” with. As I went through all the information I had compiled for the past few months I came across Thomas Merton who wrote “The Rain” inspired by “Rhinoceros”. Well, that would be a good beginning for me this week, to research on Thomas Merton. Who is he?
