suicide note questions

• Why do people commit suicide? Give examples in real life.

People commit suicide because they were overwhelmed by their own problems. They are stressed and cannot find solutions. For an example, in 2007, a boy hanged himself in a classroom under a fan using his blanket. He committed suicide because he was caught stealing in the hostel and his warden said all the bad things about him. Stressed and troubled by the situation, he chose to end his life.

• What is the poet's agenda in writing the poem?

The agenda of the poet writing the poem to reveal the reality of committing suicide. The poem is about a note that a college student wrote before she committed suicide. She committed suicide because she felt that she cannot satisfy her  parents. That is her problem; people will commit suicide if they have problems that they can't solve.

• As a teacher, what is our role in ensuring the students should not take their own life?

We should aware of the students' changes of behaviors and their problems. We should also try to understand and solve their problems because it is our role to develop their personality. A student who have a potential of having a bright future is a student who can solve his or her problems wisely. The ability can come from teachers who are willing to understand their students more than other ordinary teachers who only accomplish their job of teaching but not teaching, caring, understanding and loving. A teacher care about his or her students so that they will not choose the wrong solutions for their problems.

we left school,

but the past is still there,

do you still remember?

the way we laugh,

cry,

learn,

love,

and 

the way we meet?

do you still remember?

we climbed little mountains together

yet there's still higher mountains to climb.

memories really grow us up

as who we are right now

The Garden Party(question)

What is our action when a fishmonger and a high-positioned person dead in our neighborhood while we are having a garden party?
         
          If a fishmonger who is our neighbor dead, the garden party that are being held should be canceled or stopped to respect for the dead. We must respect the dead because we must have moral values in living in a neighborhood. on the other hand, we should respect the dead because we do not know when our fate; who knows tomorrow or anytime, we or or our family will be dead and we will need respect from others.
          If a high-positioned person dead who was our neighbor, we should also stop the garden party. This is because me must respect for the dead doesn't matter their social class. The garden party can be held anytime but the dead will only be bereaved or visited for the last time.
          As a conclusion, we should stop any party or celebrations when there is a person dead in our neighborhood, abandoning their background or social status. We must respect for the dead as that is the last time we respect for them and we also does not know if one day, we might get the same case.

The Garden Party- Katherine Mansfield

Dear Diary,
      My children and I planned a garden party as the weather was very nice. I saw Laura planned the garden party as splendid as it could be. She did very well as she was able to discuss with the workmen about where is the best place to install the marquee. I saw a great effort on her as she make sure the garden party as a huge success. I felt very proud of her.
     Then, something bad happened. A man from the working people was killed in an accident. I'm not very sure about his name. Laura felt very sympathized for the accident that happen and she even thought about something that never come across in our mind; cancelling the party. I myself disagreed with as her recommendation is very irrational. I did not see any rational reasons why we must cancel the party. Besides, the party had nothing to do with the a dead man from the working class. Cancelling the party will be the greatest mistake ever did by her.
    I felt very pleased and happy as the party was a huge success. Everything was perfect. I wish we could held another party soon. The mood for the party was a little bit spoiled as the death of a working man in my neighbourhood. I bet the party will be better if the working men did not built their settlement near our mansion.
