Conflict is a serious disagreement or argument.

1. I always have disagreements with my brother because we always fight and think that each other is annoying.

2. It makes me feel okay! It doesn’t take over my life so that’s good.

3. I probably can’t avoid conflict in my life because even if me and my brother don’t annoy each other, my brother will annoy me and then I will scream at him.

4. My brother but rarely with my parents and any other people.

5. I don’t know what is inner conflict and I don’t think I ever experienced it before.

1. It happened many times and it can be outside or in the house at any point of time for the slightest things. One time, we ever fight about a plastic bag. Because my brother was holding it so he asked me to hold for him because he needed to wear his mask! I said “You can use your other hand to hold the plastic bag what! And your other hand wear mask lah!” Then we got into trouble but it was his fault for not wearing his mask before coming out.

2. My brother was involved. My father was also involved because he scolded us for fighting. My relationship with him is that he is my younger brother.

3. The relationship between me and my brother is okay I guess. It is because we fight a lot and also we annoy each other a lot too!

Dear bdsains,
I am your senior from 2E

I feel bad for Mr Mpofu because a teacher like him does not deserve bad behavior like how Shamiso behaved. I think that even though you do not like the subject,you should at least give respect to your teacher and greet them. I think that what Shamiso did was not acceptable and maybe she is also known to be rude.
I think this way because it is not good when the teacher gives respect to you but you did not give respect back. I can feel how teachers will feel when they receive bad behaviour like what Shamiso did to Mr Mpofu. If my classmates did something like what Shamiso did,I would ask him to not be rude or I would talk to him during recess. All i know is that people who are older than you should receive respect and not rudeness.In Singapore it is a country that is known to have respect for one another. I think that respect is a very important value.

To me the plot is interesting as the story is trying to tell us that we should not be rude to teachers and must always give them respect. The story is also for us to learnt that we should always have respect to adults or people that are older than us.

# data[].attributes.body
Good morning BDSians today I am going to talk about hope is our only way the actions that Mr Mpofu made were intimidating. Such that when he was near Shamiso's seat, she sprang up but avoided eye contact. He stood by her side and murmured to her not to stand up on his account and asked for her name.He wore a proud smirk, ready to assert his power and was sweating on his face. Shamiso then said her name and Mr Mpofu stared at her for a second longer before turning and began walking towards the front of the class.Shamiso asked Mr Mpofu who he was. He then turned back to face Shamiso, with his right hand in his pocket and left hand fidgeting with a piece of chalk.He told the class to sit down but not for Shamiso and told her that her brain will retain his name like his brain retains her name and that she won't be forgetting his name.

I feel that in this situation Mr Mpofu is not that friendly and Shamiso felt very intimidated.I think that Mr Mpofu's treatment of Shamiso was not fair as he only treated Shamiso this way and not to the whole class.

My thoughts are that if you treat just one person that way she won't like it as all the others don’t get the same treatment.

I think that the writer’s  intentions the way he placed to sound effects is very right at the point. The way the righter  describe the what is happening. I would recommend this book

I don’t agree with how they treat grandmother as grandmother is old already but they still don’t listen to grandmother and even want to throw away her important item. Next I think that their relationship is very interesting as grandmother having a son that don’t protect her and choosing to help the daughter in-law I wonder how the grandmother feel nut I actually feel sad for her. Last I feel like the daughter in law doesn’t like grandmother and so she wants her to go away from them. And they did it so I really feel so sad for grandmother for having this kind of son and daughter in law.

I don’t agree with the way how Sai Kong and Karen had treated the grandmother. They should have treated her with more care and show her some respect instead of calling her names and make fun of her .They should have let the grandmother do what she wants to do cause she is already very old and will eventually go soon .

Mr. Mpofu was being slightly rude to Shamiso making me feel sorry for her. As a teacher, Mr Mpofu shouldn’t be rude to Shamiso especially if he doesn’t know what’s going on. Initially I thought Shamiso was in the wrong and probably deserved Mr Mpofu being rude to her, but as I thought about it more, both Mr Mpofu and Shamiso have faults in their actions. Firstly, Shamiso should have followed the other students since she’s new and despite being questioned by a teacher she shouldn't be rude and questioned Mr Mpofu. Secondly, Mr Mpofu shouldn’t have been rude to Shamiso since she is new, even if he doesn’t know that she’s new, he could have at least asked her if something was going on like if she was injured or feeling ill etc. rather then being rude to her.

Dear students, I am Claire Tang from 2E and I am going to share about this story called “Hope is our only way”.

I feel bad for Mr Mpofu as Shamiso shouldn’t have treated him this way. He should have kept his thoughts to himself and nor do anything.
Even if they were angry at each other, I wouldn’t disrespect my teacher. So he should have still treated him the same but just don’t make the situation worse.

I would like to introduce this story called “monster”
This story is about a conflict between the grandmother and  Sai Khong and Karen. Before I start my personal respond, I would like to thank the librarian to let me do this yay
So the story started of like this…this is the first paragraph btw =)
“Old grandmother lay on her bed, stiffening a little, her small bright eyes fixed suspiciously on the door when she thought she heard footsteps outside, but falling back in relief when she remembered that the whole family had gone out for the afternoon, and there would be nobody to disturb her.“
So yea from the first paragraph u would know that there a old people sleeping on the bed by her own.

I am Jasper from 2E, no. 21. I am responding to an excerpt from the middle of a novel, “Hope is Our Only Wing”, by Rutendo Tavengerwei. In this novel, I find the characters Shamiso and Mr. Mpofu engaging due to their way of communications towards each other, which resulted in an unnecessary conflict.

I feel that Shamiso is disrespectful to Mr. Mpofu when she intentionally not stand up when Mr. Mpofu entered the class. This is a bad start but Mr. Mpofu did not make it any better. Instead of telling Shamiso nicely, he singled her out, asking for her name and for her to remain standing while the rest of the class were asked to sit.

There could be some reasons why Shamiso did not regard Mr. Mpofu. Mr. Mpofu could be the new teacher of the class where he replaced Shamiso’s favourite teacher, hence her defensive attitude towards him as she was still feeling anguish. On the other hand, it might be Mr. Mpofu’s first lesson in the school and he wanted to assert authority amongst the students. Though Shamiso is in the wrong here, regardless, Mr. Mpofu as an educator should exercise patience and understanding to students. He could have spoken nicely to Shamiso, as how you treat others will be how others treat you.

Dear Students from BDS, I am Renier from 2G and I will be reviewing the story “Hope is our only wing.”

I feel bad for Mr Mpofu as he shouldn’t be treated badly by Shamiso. He should sometimes keep his opinions to himself and respect others.

Dear Library Committee

I don’t like how the daughter-in-law treats her husband mom, because she already knew that the grandmother was already sick and weak, and yet she still wants her memorable bed to be thrown away, when that bed is very special for the grandmother.

The writer is not being fair for the grandmother because she cannot do anything when the daughter-in-law is trying to get rid of the bed because there’s some bedbugs inside the bed and making the grandmother stay in the hospital as the daughter-in-law thinks that she is doing the right thing but she’s actually being selfish and only thinks about herself and her children but not the grandmother feelings.

The plot interest is about the daughter-in-law trying to get rid of the grandmother’s bed that has bedbugs in it and trying to get her to stay in the hospital but the grandmother does not want to because she does not want to, as she said to the family let her die alone on her memorable bed and let her in peace.

Yes the characters engaged with each other but in a argument tone. Their relationship with each other is being the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, and i think for the meaningful message about this story is to, think about others not just yourself and that’s actually a great advice for everyone as people nowadays just become selfish and think about their on feelings.
