My Favourite Subject || Instrumental


"Setting my mind on a musical instrument was like falling in love.
 All the world seemed bright and changed"
- William Christopher Handy


In Global Jaya School there are 10 subjects in total, picking a favourite isn't very easy especially when all my classes are pleasant and the teachers are all friendly. But picking a favourite subject would have to depend on how interested i am in the specific subject and that would have to be Instrumental. 

I enjoy learning instrumental because i like to describe myself more of a artistic person than logical, I think that music is a very fun subject that i really enjoy learning and i love the fact that in Instrumental classes we are able to pick up instruments and play them. There are more reasons as to why instrumental is my favourite subject but it is all mostly overpowered by my love of music and playing/creating music.




Instrumental is a class where students are basically taught about things such as the basic music note reading and how to play a certain instrument as well as learning all about the instrument itself, in instrumental class we have quick history sessions on the specific instrument we are learning and how to use it or parts of the instrument and its uses before actually getting to learn how to play the instrument and physically playing the instrument.

Of course i also have a few dislikes on this particular subject as any other such as the fact that i get very impatient and frustrated very easily when i am not able to properly play an instrument or play a full song on the instrument, the downsides of instrumental would have to be the fact that it takes so long to slowly learn an instrument and having to learn steps one by one but besides the negativity the positive things most definitely beat the negatives.

My Favourite Movie || Narnia

  1. During the World War II bombings of London, four English siblings are sent to a country house where they will be safe. One day Lucy finds a wardrobe that transports her to a magical world called Narnia. After coming back, she soon returns to Narnia with her brothers, Peter and Edmund, and her sister, Susan. There they join the magical lion, Aslan, in the fight against the evil White Witch, Jadis.


    Out of hundred movies that i have watched i have chosen Narnia as my favourite as it is a very creative movie that has a deeper meaning that a lot of people don't seem to notice or choose to ignore which is why I love it so much. Before it was made into a movie this story was a very popular book written by C.S. Lewis and the movie was directed by Andrew Adamson. The website: Common Sense Media had given this movie a 4/5, IMDb a 6.9/10 and Rotten Tomatoes a 76/100.


    The movie as told by the synopsis is about 4 siblings named Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were sent to a country house for safety and one day the siblings had accidentally visited a different world named Narnia by entering the closet. Everything was going swell until Edmund was captured by the white witch and the 3 siblings could only go to the former King Aslan to help their brother, Edmund finally had been released from the White Witch but still having to go at war with them. The 4 siblings had finally won the war and defeated the white witch before they were crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia. 



    Personally i really like and enjoy watching the movie Narnia, it has a lot of good positive messages, great actors/actresses, and is suitable for kids aged above 9. Narnia is a very complex story and I enjoy how the movie is able to provide small details that are usually ignored by directors, it makes the movie more sensible and somehow realistic such as using a real life event like World War II and how they had to send off children to the countryside. I think that it is a very smart move by making things somehow relatable to our actual life as it can have the people watching the movie more indulged and attracted making them wonder what everything would be like if their life would be like the movie.


    The Narnia movie was well thought out and well played as they had amazing actors and actresses. Georgie Henley played Lucy remarkably well at a young age, Skandar Keynes was able to interpret his character's emotions very well along with William Moseley who played as Peter. I do think that Anna Popplewell could have played Susan a bit more realistically but together they were all able to create a great performance and amazing movie. The Narnia movie came out in the year 2005 yet it still had an "old-school" feeling to it while you watched it, like the way that they all dressed, the quality of the green screen and the way they spoke created an illusion of it being an old movie.
