Photo description

It was a hot sweltering afternoon with white fluffy clouds drifting along the bright blue sky. On the beach, there was a still yellow boat with the words Rent-A-Boat printed in blue on the boat's side. In front of the boat, sunlight was glinting off the smooth claer water with tiny waves travelling along the ocean's surface. There was also an island in the distance, with greenery populating the entire island.

Storyboard for Singaporean story narrative

a comic strip!

1a. The first picture which shows Mr. Lee Kuan Yew giving a speech about racial harmony in 1963 after the merger. This picture shows that Lee Kuan Yew was trying to make Singapore have racial harmony.

The second picture shows the racial riots during the Prophet Mohammad's birthday where the racial tensions between the Chinese and Malay. It shows that even though Singapore was trying to achieve racial harmony, there were many difficulties between the different races.

The third picture shows racial discrimination without violence. the picture shows a group of white eggs and a brown egg who has been separated from the crowd because the white eggs do not like the egg that is different.

The fourth picture is almost all the races in Singapore embracing each other. This shows that now Singapore is a country with racial harmony.

This comic strip panel shows the main parts of the story narrative where racial harmony is being introduced all the way to racial harmony. This would show that Singapore is a multi-racial country and it would contribute to my narrative theme of all the races in Singapore living together and helping each other

Prejudice

Prejudice is when people do not like another race or religon etc. for example, in the early and mid 20th century, the white abused african-americans because the white people did not like their skin colour. Another example is when the Jews were killed and humiliated during world of war two in Germany because Adolf Hitler did not like Jews and wanted to kill all of the Jews in his country.

What i want to learn more about prejudice is why people dislike another race or religon because the people who are abusing the others do not have a rational reason o dislike other races. For example, the white people who were abusing the black people did not have a rational reason to dislike the colour of their skin.
