ELC Short story 3



1) What would you do if you faced the same situation as Ina, who found her personal pictures on someone's Facebook page?

I think if I was faced with a difficult situation like this, I will also do the same things as Ina. Just like Ina......of course I will try to track down the prowler. For me, actions taken by Ina is one of the best decisions to be made. Although it is difficult to overcome but able to do something for the good of yourself is enough.

2) How would you describe Abang Wan? Provide at least two characteristics and justify your reasons.

Just like other readers, I also put Abang Wan as the potential suspect to be the prowler. But, the questions is why Abang wan??  This is due to the attitude that shown by Abang Wan like love to exult with women when often offer to accompany Ina and her friends. He looks like cares about Ina and her friends for the sake of personal interest. In addition, as a foreign man who only known as a neighbour, undoubtedly Ina will refuse his offer. Although there is disadvantage attitude in Abang Wan,but there is also positive attitude which does not significantly highlighted in the story. At the end of the story, clearly shows that Abang Wan is a kind hearted but maybe misconstrued by Ina and the readers. To prove that, Abang Wan always took care of his neighbour with the intention to help especially when Ina and her friends in trouble and willing to share the very important information about the landlord until causing them to move out from the rented house after knowing the real thing.

3) State two moral values that you have learned from the story. Justify and elaborate your reasons.

Overall, short story the prowler has attracted my attention because there is element of suprise at the end of the story line which is absolutely not expected by the readers. Suitable with the title of this short story "The Prowler", there are numerous of moral values that can serve as lesson to the readers. This short story can encourage readers to always be careful and adapt  with variety environment of  life which we don't know forms and threats that may be present to ourselves. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we should frequently be alert and take serious attention to all things that happen in our daily live. Next, we also should learn not to be too easy to trust outsiders. This will cause us too easily deceived by others. In other words, no exaggeration to say that if we too easy to trust others without doubtful, then others will take advantage on us. For example Ina which is too believe to the landlord while he was the real prowler who pose danger to Ina and her friends.
