rite about a character that you dislike in the novel.

Support your answer with evidence from the novel The novel that I choose is The Curse by Lee Su Ann. The story is about the mysterious death of Azreens adopted sister, Madhu ri, and how Azreen goes through everything to find out the truth behind the death. The character that I dislike in the novel is Puan Normala.

I dislike Puan Normala because she is a rumour monger. She is the one that spread the rumour about Madhuri and how she died. Puan Normala is also superstitious. She blames the old ladys visit to Ashrafs house as the reason for the continuous rain. Furthermore, she is also a mean and malicious person. For example, she provokes Mohd Ashraf to confront the old lady by accusing the old l ady as the reason why Ashrafs grandmothers health is getting worse. Because of that, Ashraf burns down the old ladys house in anger, and causes the old l ady to die in the fire.

As conclusion, the character that I dislike most in the novel is Puan Normala because she is a rumour monger, mean and malicious and also a superstitious woman.

Write about a moral value you have learnt in the story. Support your answer with evidence from the novel The novel that I choose is The Curse by Lee Su Ann. The story is about the mysterious death of Azreens adopted sister, Madhuri, and how Azreen goes through everything to find out the truth behind the death. A moral value that I have leant in the story is bravery.

This value is shown by Azreen. First, even as a young girl she takes challenges and tries to prove to her friends that the Old Lady is not an evil witch. When she is yelled at for entering the Old Ladys house and destroying her vegetable garden, Azreen bravely defends he rself. In fact, she returns the next day and repairs the trampled garden. Her action wins the Old Ladys heart.

The second evidence is when Azreen bravely takes the blame for Mohd Asraf in the bull incident. She demonstrates courage. The same bull later injures her mothers leg causing her to paralyze. She was blamed and scolded by her father as well as the villagers. She bravely endures that and never tells anyone of what really happened.

The third event that displays her bravery is when she tries to tackle the angry people who are about to attack the the Old Lady. When the Old Ladys house is in fire, Azreen tries to rescue the Old Lady but at the end she has to be rescued by her father. When the Old Lady dies in the tragic fire, she confronts Mohd Asraf like a wildcat.

Finally, towards the end of the story, she finds out the secret that her father has been keeping. She confronts her father about Madhuris murder until he is forced to confess about the truth.

As conclusion, bravery is the moral value that I have learnt through Azreen. For me, Azreen is very brave to confront people whom she knows have done wrong to others. At the same time she is very brave when defending herself and the people she loves.
