Week 21 English Journal

Despite being in lush surroundings now, the scion did not seem to notice anything. Since young, his mother had nurtured him in every way she could, with the hopes of him becoming a knowledgeable person one day. At that time, his family was in destitution. How he had longed to be like the other children, with toys to play with, and even having proper education. The thought of how his mother had raised him up strengthened his determination and desire for success. After several decades, he finally succeeded. However, at that time, his mother was already in Nirvana. The metamorphosis of his status and living condition did not bring him the satisfaction that he had yearned for. Now, as a rich businessman, he could afford anything he wanted. Yet, even n ow, he had often stopped and pondered over the same question that he had since young --- Is materialism the true meaning of life?

Week 20 English Journal

As soon as Mary returned home, she realised that her mother and her neighbour had gotten into a heated argument. Initially, Mary was nebulous about what was happening as her mind was still in repose. However, she realised that it was a quarrel over trivial matters soon after as she heard her mother indict her neighbour, Mrs Lim, for shattering the peace in the neighbourhood by playing loud music late in the night. Mrs Lim's puissant rebuttal came almost instantly claiming that Mary's mother was oversensitive as no one else in the edifice had lodged a complaint against this. The quarrel carried on unabated as Mary tried to sort through the continuous stream of disparate comments from both parties, all the while trying to find peace between them.

Analysis of a detective in Stickman Murder Mystery

After receiving orders to find the murderer, I as a detective, began searching around my desk for any useful clues in solving the case. After getting familiarised with my office, I drove to the crime scene and started searching for clues. Initially, I was not thorough in my search and hence, overlooked an important clue. Next, I travelled around the neighbourhood to places such as the donut shop and the morgue. At the morgue, I found the murdered victim and after some careful inspection, discovered a series of letters and numbers on his hand. Immediately, I realised that it was a chain of numbers, probably a phone number. In the brown box, I found the victim's belongings, including a yellow key with a number on it. Sensing that this will be useful in the future, I decided to jot down the number.

Then, I went to take a nap in my room and in my dream, I saw a large egg shell. Upon clicking on it, the egg shell cracked to reveal a person and some numbers. It was through the person's speech that I realised that there was a clue in a purple paint can. Then, I went back to the crime scene and sure enough, found a purple paint can. Inside the purple paint can, I found the murder weapon.

After that, I went to make the telephone call and discovered that it was actually the number of a bank. I jot down the address of the bank and drove there. Initially, I wanted to ask the bank about murder related questions. However, after asking for some time, I found no point in continuing on the topic and decided to change the subject. That was when I hit another clue. It turned out that the number on the yellow key is the combination of the safe in the bank. In the safe, I found a huge stash of money that was stolen recently.

When I headed back to my office, one of the workers notified me that he had found something in the victim's mouth. It turned out to be a green ripped cloth. Then, I went to the room where the witness and two suspects are waiting. The monologue of the second suspect was too simple to be true and I became suspicious of him. In the end, my suspicion proved correct when I saw a tear in his green shirt. After putting all the clues together, I decided to report my findings and as a result, successfully arrested the murderer.

But at that time, they were doing it for their family, unlike now. Their family was counting on them for firewood, yet, they knew that there was no way to help them now.
