The Perfect Song 2.0

Aye, aye! We meet again! Hello! Well, I guess you already know what this post is about based on the title, yes? Haha, yeah, we got yet another assignment. Well, this time we got a chance to choose which type of the report I want to make, and either it is a text material or listening material. To be honest, I like to link stories with songs, or something like that. Yeah, everytime I attempt to write stories, songs are my main source of inspiration, or vice versa. Haha, yeah, I've been writing my stories, just random stories, though. Nothing's suspicious. Hehe. Well, anyway, let's get into the topic, shall we?

For today's report, it's about the story of Hercules. Well, I chose the YouTube clip one. It's a 7:50 minutes long video made by TED-Ed, titled The myth of Hercules : 12 labors in 8-bits - Alex Gendler. The story tells us about Hercules, who commits a serious crime. In order to gain the Gods' forgiveness, he has to finish 12 tasks from his cousin, King Eurystheus. Interested? You can check it here! I love the 8-bit arcade game theme they made for the video. Or simply, you can watch it here, now!

Well, for this story, I have one song in mind, that I think fits perfectly with the story. It's Little Boy in the Grass, sung by AURORA. You can check it out here. Or simply, you can check this video. It's just an audio, though.

(Source : https://youtu.be/2MTsfnntwWc)
Let them run from the violence
The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
Little boy runs beside them
As they take his hands and jump to the sky
Still today you hear them
Finally I am over it, over it oh
Finally I am over, over it oh

I think this song really fits Hercules' journey to achieve Gods' forgiveness. I think the world is simply too cold, or cruel for him. He doesn't do anything wrong, yet Hera wants him suffer, just because she hates him. She is the one who is responsible for Hercules' family's death. Typical Greek Gods, always abusing their powers. Well, good thing that Hercules is finally over it.

Alright, I think that is all. Kind of short, aye? Well, I believe we are supposed to make one report based on this one story. It is what it is, I guess? I hope you like this post! Until we meet again.

English and Me

Hello, there! This is my very first post here. I think I should make a little introduction. My name is Arinda. I'm a college student from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana. This blog is for my assignments. So I won't post anything besides my college stuffs. Now that you know a bit about me, let's get into the topic : English and Me! It's kinda funny on how I recall any good or bad memories about my English learning. It might sounds stupid, but since I was only an elementary student, I get to learn English from games. Yes, games. A casual, light novel RPG kind of game. Well, just say every games I've played. I follow the game's story, and whenever I found a difficult word, I search it up in my English dictionary. That's how my vocabulary develop. Not only games, I also learned English from movies. My mom used to play Disney movies for me since I was 4 years old, everyday! I guess that also took a part on building my English listening skill. So yeah, I've b...

 Aye, aye! We meet again! How's life? Well, mine is good, kinda. Today, eh, I mean, two days ago, I got yet another project. It says that I have to make a bookmark for each listening and reading material I have read/watch. After 2 hours of finding some inspiration for this project and another 3 hours of making the project (including snacking, slacking off, and having an existential crisis), I finally finished. Dang, that's a long time. Anyway, let's see what we got today, shall we? Alright, the first one is a reading material, a story. It's called "The Silver Swans" by Gallico Paul. It consists 3522 words. No, the site does not show what level this reading material is, but oh well. Reading material is reading material. Well, the story is about Horatio Fundoby, an old man that meets a young lady named Thesis at a houseboat. Apparently, she is desperate of finding her true love, and the old man is there to help. Also, she sings a song titled, well, you've gu...
