Is progress necessarily beneficial for society? Comment.

Progress is not necessarily beneficial for society. Progress can be defined in 2 ways. One is the technology is becoming more advanced. The other way is that society became more sophisticated. When technology advances, the world will become more polluted and global warming worsens. Thus, this type of advancement is not good for society. However, when society becomes more sophisticated, we will have more manners and more polite as well. This is good because when we and more polite, there will be lesser use of obscene language and in the end, the word will disappear from our vocabulary and the dictionary.

Who is your favourite/least favourite character in Village By The Sea? State your reasons.

My favourite character in village by the sea is Jagu. He gave Hari a job when Hari was homeless in Bombay. He let Hari stay with him and took care of Hari during the monsoon season when Hari got sick. This shows that Jagu was a kind-hearted person and that he would want to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed help. We should all learn from him.

Which part of village by the sea do you like best? State your reasons.

I like the part where Hari leaves for Bombay the best.
It shows us the difficult choices we have to make in our life. For example, Hari had to choose between staying behind to care for his sick mother or go to Bombay to make money to support the whole family. It also shows the unfairness and fairness of life. For example, De Silvas was not at home when Hari looked for him. But, he met Jagu who gave him a job and provided him with shelter.

In conclusion, this part shows what we will encounter in life and prepare us for it.

I rather be a city rat than the country rat. Comment.

I would like to be both. Being a city rat lets me get good food to eat and good shelter. But, being a city rat, I will have to avoid all those rushing cars while crossing the road, breathe the unhealthy carbon monoxide infused air and live in fear of being robbed.

On the other hand, being a country rat isn't so bad either. I get to face the reality of being given hard work, and that food is the result of our labour. No work no food. Also, I get to breathe the fresh air of the country side and see the sunset everyday. However, I will not be living in a comfortable house nor have enough food to eat.

Complete the following sentence:
Confessions of a _______________

I would complete the sentence as Confessions of a drunkard.
A drunkard is never talking sense and usually violent. They like to talk about their problems when they are drunk. However, being drunk doesn't mean being bad. Drunk people usually spit out all the truth. Thus, a confession of a drunkard is reasonable.

A drunkard was staggering down the dark alley and his face red as a beetroot. He was close to vomiting all his food out but he kept drinking. A emotionless face would usually mean someone who would not say anything. But this man, would say everything and anything about his life. He spurted: " Sigh, my life is simply miserable, I divorced with my wife a long time ago, my 3 year-old child did not want a drunkard to care for him and I have no job. Could life get any worse? I think so. I am almost running out of money and I still own the loan shark loads of money. The recent missing cashers were all stolen by me. I wanted to pay back the loan shark all the money but I could not help to buy myself some vodka and feel the warm liquid enter my blood stream and sooth my whole body. I live in the streets and is usually robbed by other people living in the streets. I really regretted sipping my first bottle of vodka... "
