Theme: Positive Approach

The novel, How I Met Myself is about how John Taylor met his doppelganger and the problems that he faced following the incident. John met his doppelganger on an icy evening when he was on his way home from work. Following this John had recurring terrible dreams of the doppelganger incident, which made him restless and afraid. This affected his family life and relation with his wife, Andrea.

John took the practical approach to solve the problem. He made inquiries from people in the vicinity and read up on the issue in order to understand why the doppelganger appeared to him. He felt that if he understood the message then his problems would be solved. Andrea took positive steps to solve her problems too. When she lost an important teaching job, she was willing to work at Zsolt’s bar albeit at a lower pay. She might have resented John for being so obsessed with the problem but it was her way of dealing with it.

Both John and Andrea did not allow this unusual situation to spoil the family holiday or allow it to become a family crisis. Andrea was practical and helped as much as she could in her own way.




Moral Values: Crime does not pay
In the Boscombe Valley Mystery, the novel focuses on a few moral values. One of the moral values is honesty where crime does not pay.
In the 1860s, John Turner the known as Black Jack of Ballarat was very poor and turned to robbery and killing to get money. He robbed a stagecoach carrying gold from Ballarat to Melbourne. After this robbery, he became rich. He left for England and settled in Ross-On-Wye where he became a rich respectable family man. However, Turner’s past caught up with him when Charles McCarthy, the stagecoach driver recognized Turner and blackmailed him. He was forced to give in to Charles’ demands for money and a place to stay. Turner’s life became a nightmare as Charles continued to blackmail him. One day, Turner was forced to kill Charles when he overheard Charles forcing his son, James to marry Alice, Turner’s daughter in order to get his wealth. Turner killed Charles to protected his daughter But soon after, Turner fell ill after the murder and died seven months later.
It was wrong of Charles to blackmail turner. The fact that he continued to blackmail Turner, forced Turner to take drastic action when Turner felt there was no way out of his problem.
It was wrong of John Turner to turn to crime to solve his debt problems. Giving in to a blackmailer would only make things worse. It was difficult for Turner to turn himself in to the police for his crime in Australia. But Turner did commit a crime and he had to pay the price and killing Charles did not solve the problem. Solving a problem by criminal actions might create new ones.


Character that I find interesting – Dr. Watson
An interesting character in the graphic novel, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, is Dr. Watson. His role in the story is as an ordinary man but he complements the role Sherlock Holmes as the famous London Detective.
I find Dr. Watson’s character interesting as Watson is his presence, comments, questions and observations were important in helping Holmes solve the murder case.
Watson’s presence was important to Holmes. For example, Holmes liked Dr. Watson being around when he discussed the murder case with him, as they are in the train throughout the journey from London to Ross-on-Wye. Watson made his presence important because he was always punctual. For example, within half an hour of receiving the telegram from Holmes, Watson was already at Paddington Station to catch the 1115 train.
Watson was a good listener. He listened attentively to what Holmes said about the case and asked many significant questions. He was also very helpful. For example, he brought paper and pen for John Turner to write down his confession, without being told. In short, Dr. Watson was a good companion and assistant to Holmes.
Dr. Watson is also a good observant. For example, when he accompanied Holmes to the scene of the crime he was the one who noticed the unusual footprints, missed by the police. This clue was very important in determining the murderer and helped Holmes to solve the murder.
Watson is a character in that he shows that however ordinary a person may be, he is still capable of playing an important role. He lightens the atmosphere as well as presents a welcome break from the seriousness of the crime. He says what he thinks and expresses his opinion without hesitation. He accepts Holmes opinion and is ready to listen to reason and explanation.

Any help for Railway Children literature?

I got sample answers for railway children...i juz need memorize it

Not wanting to be an annoying senior who likes to nag or anything , but here's a reminder to all of you :

I noticed that today , many of the PMR candidates complained that the Paper 2 question for KOMSAS wasn't what they expected , they read form one and three novels but form 2 one came out , it wasn't as expected , etc but this shouldn't come from you guys . Especially since you're the first batch of students with the new literature components . It's foolish to think that only the ones that are spotted will come out . During my time , last year , the Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia confirmed that only form 3 novels will be questioned because we were the last batch of the old literature components ( with boring novels , to be honest ) . But I felt it was too good to be true and prepared for all three instead . When the exams came , only form 3 novels came out all right , but I felt that I was ready for all three and there was a feeling of assurance .

Moral of the story : Be ready for anything and everything , don't focus on topics . Not at this stage . You can look through the tips , that's fine but please don't go overboard by treating them as your official study materials for your PMR . I'm saying this not to make you guys feel bad but to warn you and wake you up , since you will be in form four next year . Don't let this be a habit . You know what to do next year .

That being said, I'm not that sure about the current format of English but back in our days we could focus on only one novel . If that's the case for you , then fine . If it isn't , then I'd suggest reading the synopsis of all of the novels you've studied to refresh your memory .

Good luck guys for tomorrow's paper .

omg 32/40 for bm paper 1. i need like 80 marks in paper 2. pretty crazy marks to get. btw can anyone here explain what is narration in the literature part? i usually get 2-3 marks here because of "narration". what is that supposed to mean?

Annoying? Not at all my dear senior!

The only people who we form three's find annoying are those who claim that PMR is just like any other exam. But did they get straight A's? I'm not so sure

Anyways,I completely agree with you that we should prepare equally for each KOMSAS novel. Personally,I found this years question quite easy. Only the foolish study solely based on the leaked and spotted questions.

And the English Novel we read is based on the state we're from. Personally,I'm from Penang,thus I study a novel entitled The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit.

Tho thanks for your useful piece of advice.

Thanks And if time turns back I'll totally regretted my actions.
