The Killer Subject

Before I entered semester four, I heard from most of my seniors said that there is one killer subject that I need to face in semester four called Critical Literacy. One of my seniors told me that it is uneasy subject to score and even my lecturer told me that there were students that failed for this subject. My first impression when I heard the name of the subject I was doubting myself and from the name itself already shown that it will be hard and difficult to score. Everything that was in my head at that moment was on the negative side. I am worried because I am not critical thinker and it takes a lot of time for me to think critically. I tried to be positive and say to myself to take this as a challenge. To be honest, I am the type that cannot make decision alone and I have a hard time to make decision.

This subject makes me read a lot of article. I able to learn on how to train my brain to think critically in any kind of matters in hope to overcome problems and master the skills in decision-making process. I admitted I am still a little bit confused until now. I hope that this subject will be held in class and not in mass lecture because lecturer can focu

Hollywood movies are full of LIES

Hollywood produces great movies, that is a fact but they do not always tell the truth when they say that it is based on “true stories”. I personally agree with this proposition, as we all know Hollywood is the most well-known and is a large film industry that produces a lot of movies such as Mission Impossible, The Equalizer, Incredibles 2 and many more movies, the one thing that all of the movies have in common is that everyone love it so much. The reason as to why Hollywood do not always tell the truth even if it is based on true stories is because the truth is sometimes boring and not suitable for movie material so they replace it with something interesting such as small adorable kids, some action or beautiful girls.         The terms Hollywood people use is “retelling” which means cutting out the boring, unremarkable bits and inserting other scene that can take the audience’s attention. We know that Hollywood is a fantasy-land. The Possession is an example of a movie t
