The Curse – An Important Incident
Based
on the novel you have learned, write about an important incident that you
remember. Give reasons why you remember the incident.
I choose The Curse by Lee Su Ann. In my opinion, an
important incident from the novel is when Azreen first met the Old Lady.
Azreen first met the Old Lady when she was challenged by
her friends to go to the Old Lady ’s house. The villagers believed that the Old
Lady is an evil witch, so they forbade their children to go to the Old Lady ’s
house. However, Azreen’s curiosity and bravery led her to the Old Lady ’s
house. As she called out for the Old Lady, her friends scampered and some even
looked very scared. When she met the Old Lady and the Old Lady asked her to go
away, she did not think the Old Lady was evil. After that day, Azreen kept
going to the house until the Old Lady became friendly with her.
In my opinion, this incident is important because after
the day they became friends, the Old Lady became the person Azreen talked to or
turned to whenever she had problems. For instance, Azreen would go to her house
whenever she got into fights with her father. The Old Lady would listen to her
problems and calm her.
Apart from that, this incident is important because from
the Old Lady, Azreen had learnt to forgive the people who had done her wrong.
For instance, Azreen had forgiven her father for
murdering her sister, Madhuri after understanding the
reason of her father’s action. If Azreen
had not met and befriended the Old Lady, she might not
have forgiven the people who had done her wrong. As a result, she might not go
back to London feeling free and feeling like a new person.
In conclusion, the important incident is when Azreen
first met the Old Lady because of the above reasons.
