Unit 2

In this chapter, I learned about the stance in the article. I also learned about the writer’s stance or opinion in the article. Besides that, we also learn the implications that occur in our understanding of the text. In this chapter, we have the reading titled ‘Battling the Bullies’. At first, when we read the reading we only thought that the reading is only to give information about the bully. However, after studying the subject, we have different opinion about the article. In the reading 2.2, we learned about language, perspective, and ideology. In this reading we learned how to use new words to stance our belief. For example, the writer writes blacks and whites to show that both of the races are very different. In reading 2.3, we learn about the texts and textualities. There are many examples given in the reading. The interesting part in this unit is when we try to find the meaning for the picture in the article. The article might contrast with the article, so we had to find the implicit idea to relate with the article. Besides that, the interesting part in this unit is when we discuss in class, we can see variety of stance in one article. So, we can discuss with each other to get one precise stance of the article. The difficulty in the article is when we try to find the implicit perspectives or opinion in the article. The reflection to the presentation by Zalikha, Dalila and Fatihah is satisfactory. Three of them present the second unit and trying hard to make the audience understand with what they present. However, there are still have some of the audience did not understand with their presentation about this topic. The lecturer helps them by giving the explanation of the topic.
