Wife of bath's Tale

          It was the story of  "Wife of bath's Tale" that awakened my interest, because it tells how women
treated in Chaucer's period of time, that during that time, women are only object in man's sight and
treated them not equal and the prevailing beliefs that woman are by nature are sinful made man took
advantage.
         It  touches my heart, the character of the ugly old woman, who supposed to be the saviour of
the knight for death punishment. She put herself to marry the knight, eventhough, she clearly knows
the consequences. The only thing she wanted was to be free from men's dominance over women.
         Inspite of knight's offended words toward her, She cleverly created honest opinion for the knight to choose between ugly but faithful or beautiful but unfaithful. I clearly imagined, how the ugly woman was trying to gain acceptance by men instead of embracing feminity.
         I choose to give my point of view in this kind of story ( Wife of Bath's Tale) because it was indeed a very interesting story, eventhough, the characters are only fictional. It also shows the significant value that true beauty lies within, like the character of the old ugly woman. She met her fate
in finding the right man for her in an expected situation but, it was indeed God's will.

" My hero, My inay"

        As we all know, our common heroes are those who gave their lives for the benefits of others.But being a hero isn't only to die for
 it, heroes have also special qualities such as honesty, responsibility, perseverance and courage.Speaking of  my own hero, my hero
 is a person who is very dependable and blessed with kind heart.She would get up very early in the morning to prepare our breakfast,
even in a stressful day, she had  managed to accomodate everything, our school days and household chores.I thought she was a cruel mother, forcing us to drink milk, eat fish and vegetables.But, in reality she taught us to keep healthy.She always support me to be a better person, pushes me to do many positive activities and after I have done my best, she told me not to forget to pray and be thankful to God all the time.
        My hero inspired me in all aspect of life, taught me to gain perseverance and must struggle hard to make all dreams come true.She always stood by and supported me and my sister in anything we did.Eventhough, she wouldn't protect me all the time, she made sure that
she did everything to make me feel alright.She makes me feel that I'm very intelligent, even in the most difficult time, she taught me to be
optimistic and not to be afraid expressing oneself.She loved me not because she had to but because she wanted to.
        My hero, My inay, I choose my mother as my hero because she was such a great mother, always putting my needs before her own.
She never asked for anything but honesty, love, respect from us.A hero who does something that is more than what is expected and that's my Inay.
