During the two previous Literature lesson, I have learnt about superstitions. We were asked to find some superstitions on the Internet and share it with my group members about my findings the next Literature lesson. Superstitions started when people from the past did not have knowledge on what was happening. Therefore, they tried to find out or make up something to explain things. Superstitions were created because the early people intended to prevent someone from doing something for good. For example, “a maiden shouldn’t be singing in the kitchen while cooking, or she will be a spinster for the rest of her life”. Supposedly, her mother doesn’t want the cooking to burn because of carelessness due to singing. Therefore resulting to rejections from men who are supposed to propose her.
Besides learning about superstitions, I also witnessed six of my classmates performing as witches in Act 1 Scene 1 of Macbeth. They were to imitate the voices of the witches and I found it hilarious. I was surprised that most of them were not shy to perform in front of their classmates and the teacher. This lesson taught me how to be more expressive in order to attract the audience. Overall, I enjoy the lesson very much.
