My Research Paper

Another project work for EDU 3234 is research paper that requires us to select two texts from different authors or same author and in different genres or of the same genres. As for this project I choose Si Tenggang’s Homecoming and The Malay Commie by the National Laureate, Muhammad Haji Salleh for the former text and Che Husna Azhari for the latter. The Reason I choose these literary texts is because they have the similarities in the characters that both of the main characters go abroad and return home only to find themselves not less a Malaysian and the become more better and open-minded persons.

Nationalism is the issue that I want to highlight in the research paper. I think that our citizens nowadays have lacking the sense of loving the nation especially for younger generations that are more vulnerable to some bad influences of Western culture. It does not mean that we have to deter ourselves from those of what the West have done in developing their countries but we have to adopt and adapt what are some of the things that are suitable and appropriate for our culture.

My supervisor is Dr.Ghazali Mustaffa who has been very helpful in order for us to come out with good products. Although he demands something which is quite different from others but he says to us it is like a practice for us to write thesis for Masters and higher education levels. Whatever it is I have put a great effort in bringing out the major points that I want to convey to the readers of my research paper. I have done a lot of research and readings of articles, journals and magazines that are pertaining and relevant to the topic. What is important right now is to pray for the best mark that I can receive from the hard work for the research paper.


*so happy that I obtain 26 marks upon 30 for the position paper...
