Ater reading the source, I feel that Sir Stamford Raffles is a very smart and remarkable person. Despite his lark of schooling, he tried to establish Singapore. Then, because of him, Singapore became a society that was ahead of contemporary England. My impression of Sir Stamford Raffles did not change, only that I see him as a even greater person. He was persistent and determined to established Singapore into a free port even though it would be difficult. He is definitely one of my role models. Due to him, we now have a wonderful city. He has made an impact on our lives, maybe now we might still be living in that kind of environment in the past and slavery might still be acceptable here.

After reading the source, I think Sir Stamford Raffles is an intelligent and a  leader with humanitarian thinking. Even though he was lack of schooling, he managed to establish the type of society in Singapore that was ahead of contemporary England, banned slavery and helping to make free trade that established Singapore into a free port. Therefore, he improved the lives of many in Singapore. It does not differ from my current impression of Raffles as I have always thought of him as a courageous man and as a leader that cared about the welfare of the people. Raffles reminded me of Florence Nightingale as both of them have humanitarian thoughts and strive to promote the welfare of others and helped them.

After reading the source, I feel that Raffles is a inspirational , motivational and remarkable person to younger generations. He is an ambitious men who puts his intelligence to good use. Though he is brought up with limited education, with no social status nor aristocratic background, he is able to reflect the most advanced radical, intellectual and humanitarian thinking of his day. He has great aspirations in helping to improve the welfare and happiness of people. Horrified by slavery, he was determined to uphold law and justice, to maintain peacefulness and a civilized country. He was intelligent to be able to built a society which was even more advance then England at that time. My view towards him differs from my original view. Originally, I just thought of him as a ordinary men who established Singapore as a free port. Now, he has made me understand that even if u do not have a good education, great things can be achieved. He reminds me of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. Bill Gates was a drop-out of college, but he founded Microsoft and became the richest man in the world. He too, benefited generations and generations, In conclusion, without Raffles, Singapore will not be what it is like today. Thus, we must appreciate Raffles's works, learn from it, and perhaps change Singapore for the better again.

After reading the source, it gave me an impression that Raffles was passionate to establish Singapore as he worked very hard to change and build Singapore into a better place. He is also capable and intelligent as he managed to establish Singapore well even though he lacked in schooling. What I admire of him is his vision to spot our nation's potential as a free trading port. He has made a great contribution to Singapore by transforming it from a fishing village to a free trading port. Singapore will not have its success if not for him.  It does not differ from my current impression of Raffles. I have always thought of him as an inspiring leader with perseverance, striving for the best for Singapore. I am grateful to him for his great contributions towards Singapore. He deserves our respect.

After reading the source, I felt that Sir Stamford Raffles is an intelligent, gifted and ambitious man. Despite his lack of schooling, he could still do lots of great things for Singapore such as banning slavery, and making free trade which established Singapore into a free port. He also tried to establish the type of society in Singapore which was ahead of contemporary England. I had never imagined Sir Stamford Raffles to lack schooling and thought that he must had studied a lot to be able to contribute to Singapore's growth. This reminded me of Thomas Edison who had been kicked out of school when he was young but treasured the time he had and  carried out experiments whenever there was time. His hard work and determination was paid off when he finally invented the first light bulb. Since Sir Stamford Raffles could do so many great things even without much schooling, I feel that we people who come to school and receive education should also be able to do things as great as him or even more. We should be inspired by him and strive to achieve what we want to achieve. Sir Stamford Raffles is really a man who inspires people to do as well as him.

After reading the source, I think Sir Stamford Raffles is a very futuristic person. Although he lived way back in the 1800s, he had the most advanced radical, intellectual and humanitarian thinking of his days. The type of society he wanted to establish in Singapore was also ahead of England at that time. Before reading the source, I solely thought that Raffles was the person who developed Singapore into a prosperous city that it is today. But after reading the source, I think Sir Stamford Raffles is a very determined and intellectual person. Even though he knew that establishing Singapore into a prosperous port would be difficult, his determination did not waver and his determination led to his success. Also, even though he had very little education, he envisioned Singapore to be something even better than contemporary England. Sir Stamford Raffles reminds of Isaac Newton. Both of them thought of great things that impacted our lives today.

After reading the source, i think that despite him having low education,he has a clear mind of what he wants to do and has everything clearly set out before him. This has made me had a different impression on raffles as ever since he signed the agreement,he left S'pore to william farqhuar to manage S'pore while he sailed away and only returned once in a while. This made me think that raffles actually did the least work. After reading this piece of information,I'm actually surprised that raffles actually already have everything planned out.

After reading the source, I feel that Sir Stamford Raffles is a very determined man, who has excellent hindsight, possesses the ability to inspire others

and is very knowledgeable - Raffles managed to transform Singapore, which was a small fishing village to what it is now, a bustling city, where businesses and

transactions occur everyday. Despite his lack of education, he managed to be successful in what he did.  This article does not make me change my impression

on Raffles. In the past and now, I feel that Raffles is a very noble man, as he took the initiative to transform Singapore, in which he wanted it to be slave-free

and much further ahead as compared to contemporary England. Raffles has also been an inspiration to other intelligent men. He also has a vision of the

moral influence of the government. Raffles reminds me of Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb - and he didn't wait for someone to invent the light bulb,

yet he took the initiative to invent it himself. The same goes for Raffles' actions. These also prove that nothing is impossible, as long as we put our hearts and minds

into what we are doing, we can complete it successfully.

I feel that Raffles is a very competent person. Despite being deprived of education and the ability to travel the world,he was still capable of thinking up one of the most ingenious ideas. I used to think that Raffles was just like any other explorer,nothing special about him. But after learning about his humble beginnings, I think that he has achieved an incredible feat. Raffles reminds me of Thomas Edison, they both started out disadvantaged, but ended up as one of the most eminent figures in history.

After reading this source, my impression of Raffles is that he is a great man. He  upholded justice, horrified by the cruelty of slavery.He also had aspirations for SIngapore, wanting to establish a society ahead of contemporary England. Despite his lack of schooling, he turned Singapore into a free port, and he was the one who gave SIngapore the chance to become the current Singapore, a bustling city, full of tourists, and one of the top ten richest countries in the world, depite beng dubbed the ' little red dot'. Rafffles was a natural born leader. He possesed the qualities of a man with a vision, to change a small fishing village into the present Singapore. My impression of Raffles stays the same as it used to, the man who changed the lifestyle of Singapore, turning Singapore into the Sinapore we know now. He is a great leader, an inspiration to others.

After reading the source, I feel that Sir Stamford Raffles is a very remarkable,

determined and ambitious person , to have such high aims despite his lack of schooling.

Raffles was not affected by his education and reflected the most advanced radical,

i ntellectual and humanitarian thinking. With that, he aimed to establish a society in

Singapore, that was ahead of contemporary England, which was then only a mere fishing

village. Raffles may not have the education but he did not lack the qualities of a successful leader.

My view now definitely differ from my original view. Before reading the source ,all I thought of

Raffles was that he was a  powerful person who founded Singapore. Now not only has he become

a very inspiration person to me, he has also gave me the courage to persevere and strive for

my personal goals. He has caused such great impact of what Singapore is today, without him,

Singapore might never become this beautiful and vibrant city. Sir Stamford Raffles is leader, a

l eader with great visions, a leader we should all give our respect to.

However, after reading the source, I realized that Raffles was horrified and could not tolerate slavery.Raffles reminded me of Abraham Lincoln.He was a fair president of America and ended slavery in his country.Both of them promoted racial equality and truly deserved our respect.

I am impressed and awed by Sir Stamford Raffles, who seems like a truly outstanding individual as depicted in the extract. What strikes me the most is his vision, both morally in being more forward-thinking than his contemporaries in England in spite of being in an isolated outpost, and also commercially, in being able to discern Singapore's potential as a port and advocating for free trade. I think that this marriage of idealism and pragmatism is truly rare and a potent combination.

This does not differ from my current impression of Raffles as not being Singaporean, I did not actually know all that much about him.

Another historical figure he reminds me of is the Chinese admiral Zheng He. In spite of being greatly disadvantaged - Raffles faced a lack of education and isolation while Zheng He was a eunuch - they both managed to overcome their difficulties and achieved great things. Both of them were also visionaries who greatly furthered the ambitions of their respective countries through the adroit use of naval power. They both also treaded lightly on the native populations.

Despite his lack of schooling, I think Raffles is an intelligent man as he reflected

the most advance thinking during his days. Whatever he did, showed that he had

vision.  Raffles to me, from the article has not differed greatly from the current Raffles

in my mind as I already has thought of him as someone who is inspirational. It was his

way of thinking that allowed him to change Singapore.

After reading the source, I feel that Sir Stamford Raffles was an intelligent and remarkable man. Despite his lack of schooling, Raffles' wisdom enabled him to establish Singapore as a free port, converting Singapore from a fishing village to an excellent harbour. In my opinion, he was a man of great ambition. He was determined to make Singapore ahead of contemporary England, which in my view, was definitely an uphill task for him at that time. I really admire Raffles as he was a man with moral aspirations as his focus was not profit itself, but profit for the sake of advancing culture and mind, he saw Singapore as a centre for learning that would contribute to the progress of human civilization. Raffles rationalised the arrangement of Singapore town and the functioning of its government administration, reaffirmed Singapore's status as a free port, established a code of law that equally applied to all, abolished slavery, suppressed the growth of gambling houses and established an ambitious educational college for the diffusion of cultural and scientific knowledge. Raffles was indeed a great founder of Singapore who deserves our respect.

It does not differ from my current impression of Raffles, being a leader who was a leader with high aspiration and could lead Singapore to become a better country. I was reminded of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who was the leading figure of the early women's rights movement. Both of them brought Singapore and the world respectively into what it is now, civilised and fair.

However, after I read the source and did some research, I realized the impact he made on Singapore that established Singapore to what it is right now. We should all be very thankful that we have someone as great as Raffles to be our founder.

Then, of course, he was actually able to become an inspiration to intelligent and enterprising men even with his background. It was only with Raffles's hard work and dedication that Singapore could be what it is today. It was he who was willing to take the first step to shape Singapore to a better country, to abolish the laws of slavery and instead to have a government with moral influence. What I thought of him before did not defer from my current impression. Now, I felt all the more sure that Raffles deserved to be respected and be held in honour by the future generation. Raffles remind me much of Harriet Tubman as they both contributed much to society and they shared the same views on slavery.

I think another important point which we should learn from Raffles is not to let our past affect us negatively. If you look on the world and you want to make a change, you can still succeed if you work hard and have the right attitude. I think Raffles truly contributed greatly to Singapore and his efforts deserve to be recognized. Future generations should also look up to him as a role model that we can achieve big things so long as we set our mind to it.

After reading the articles, my previous impression of Sir Stamford Raffles has been tarnished. it turns out that he was not always ther 'hero' I thought him to be. Although he founded Singapore and transformed Singapore from a backwater fishing village into modern Singapore, he issued the order that enabled women to be seized and be bought to Banjarmasin. I feel that the biographers of Raffles should not omit this affair in order to portray him as a 'hero'. I still respect him and I feel that he is an enterprising and intelligent man to be able to convert a fishing village into the most flourishing international port in the region despite his lack of schooling. However he was not the 'hero' i have always thought him to be.
