 REFLECTIONS

A DAY IN THE COUNTRY

This story touches my inner part because it has a plenty of lessons to

learn. This story taught me not to take for granted the wonderful things in
nature. Whatever little your waste is, you need to throw it in the garbage for
the sake of our nature. In the modern days, people have been too
preoccupied with technology that they forgot to appreciate the beauty and
benefits of nature. Living a simple life does not mean living an
unsatisfactory life.

TO BUILD A FIRE

This story made me realize that nature is unpredictable and can’t be

harnessed compared to real life people should not think they are more
powerful than nature, in other words follow or listen those who are more
experienced. We should appreciate the gift of nature.

THE LITTLE PRINCE

It is written for children but even older person likes it because of its
beautiful content. The highlight of this story is when the prince meets the
fox. The fox teaches the prince ‘’what is tamed?’’ as well as he teaches the
readers. I learned that finding a real friend need passion, courage,
perseverance. Seeking true friend like a treasure hunting it needs a map that
guides.

LES MISERABLES

Les Miserables means “The Miserables Ones” the story talks about
people who suffered throughout their lives. Nowadays children are spoiled
and thinks they can get whatever they want. Without thinking the sacrifices
offered, wasted time. Be contented what is left. Frugal characteristic is the
key.

 INTRODUCTION
This portfolio in English contained a
biography author’s background, reflection
and story that struck me the most. During I
construct this I have factors and difficulties.
Likewise, the other teacher gave us other
requirements as well. Regardless those
struggles I managed to finish the
requirements assigned.

While doing this I realize that when

creating the designated task you must be
persistency and courage to give the best.
Having self-esteem and willpower to
conquer the temptation, and lead to success.
Thus, “Play every game as if it is your last
one”

i
 Story that struck me the most

The story that struck me the most is “The Little

Prince”. I think this story was intended to please
children, but also teenager like this story. the
center of the story was all about the prince and the
fox. I tackles about taming one another, and likely
encountered by teens whose friendship never last
long just because of a light trouble. It taught me
how to tamed or befriend someone, and I
concluded that it’s not easy to befriends someone.

Many people luring out there. We don’t know

their real intentions. They might be a friend or a
foe, no one knows. Finding friends is not easy.
You must have trust one another. I observe when
seeking real friend, because there’s a saying that
“best friends are best enemies”. The lesson that I
can treasure is that, the stronger the friendship,
needs unconditional faith.
