THE BLACK CAT

On the first week of our lecture with Mr Saiful, we were asked to categorized to a group of three to four person. We were given our first task of the semester which is to read the short story, The Black Cat and define it. Thus, in a group of three person, we were asked to do a poster , a book coverand present starting for next two weeks onwards. i were paired up with Amin and Hanis.

It was quite satisfying though because both Amin and Hanis are good teammates. Though, we didn't get to really meet up to discuss about our mini project, yet we managed to accomplish and present it. We were the very last group to present.

Hanis is in charge of the design of the book cover. Amin is asked to do the designation of the poster. I am basically the main presenter for the whole presentation as i googled up the characteristics of the black cat, the wife and the murderer. It was really amazing how much information i am able to get due to lack of time and last minute work. Though, because of our determination and hardwork, we the threesome manage to get it done on time.
