leave a comment on this postHello everyone, I am going to talk about the story Adeline Ng Ai Choo from Little Ironies-Stories of Singapore...
I sure all of you must have read it already. But I'm just going to briefly talk about it to all of you. Adeline is a student who commited suicide after being refused one mark by her English Language teacher.
I think Adeline should not resort to such drastic action just because of not getting the marks she wished for. Mrs Ramalingam, Adeline's class teacher, added that Adeline had been a very unstable girl since Sec 3.
Adeline said in her diary that she was very stressed because her father kept telling her to study hard and get good grades. She said she must STUDY! STUDY! STUDY! And not fail... She even said that even if she died, she must work hard to get a pass grade.
From the story, we learnt that Adeline obtained a grade marginally below the passing mark. That's why she wanted to get marks from her teacher, she just wanted to pass the test and not disappoint her parents.
This is what I want to said about Adeline, thank you for your attention...
