Plot (story): brief summary: Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a shopping addict who lives with her best
friend Suze (Krysten Ritter). She works as a journalist for a gardening magazine but dreams to join the fashion
magazine Alette. On the way to an interview with Alette, she buys a green scarf. Her credit card is declined, so
Rebecca goes to a hot dog stand and offers to buy all the hot dogs with a check, if the seller gives her back change
in cash, saying the scarf is to be a gift for her sick aunt. The hot dog vendor refuses but a man offers her $20.
When Rebecca arrives at the interview, she's told that the position has been filled. However, the receptionist tells
her there is an open position with the magazine Successful Saving, explaining how getting a job at Successful
Savings could eventually lead to a position at Alette magazine. Rebecca interviews with Luke Brandon (Hugh
Dancy), the editor of Successful Savings and the man who just gave her the $20. She hides her scarf outside his
office, but Luke's assistant comes into the office and gives it back to her. Rebecca knows the game is up and
leaves.
That evening, drunk, she and Suze write letters to Alette and Successful Saving, but she mails each to the wrong
magazine. Luke likes the letter she meant to send to Alette and hires her. Rather than completing a work
assignment for a new column, Rebecca goes to a clothing sale. While inspecting a cashmere coat she has just
purchased, she realizes it is not 100% cashmere and she has been duped. This gives her an idea for the column,
which she writes under the name "The Girl in the Green Scarf" and is an instant success.
Rebecca later returns home to renewed confrontations with her debt collector, so Suze makes her attend
Shopaholics Anonymous. The group leader, Miss Korch (Wendie Malick), forces Rebecca to donate all the clothes
she just bought, including a bridesmaid's dress for Suze's wedding and a dress for a TV interview. After the meeting
Rebecca can't afford to buy back both and buys back the interview dress. During the interview, Rebecca is accused
of not paying her debts and loses her job. Suze is angry when she finds out that Rebecca lost the bridesmaid
dress. Aletteoffers Rebecca a position at the magazine, but Rebecca declines. She sells most of her clothes to pay
her debts, including the green scarf. Meanwhile, Luke starts a new company, Brandon Communications.
Rebecca's clothes sale makes it possible for her to pay her debts. Rebecca attends Suze's wedding after reclaiming
her bridesmaid dress, and Suze forgives her. Rebecca and Luke reunite, and Luke returns the green scarf after
revealing that the person who bought it at an auction was acting as his agent. Rebecca becomes romantically
involved with Luke and starts working at his new company.
D. Thinking and Commenting
One of the themes of the film has to do with our society’s relationship with money. Confessions of a Shopaholic illustrates
the idea of the consuming society; it is a definition of consumerism. But does the film also encourage society to live without
so many things?
Comment on / Explain the statement above.
__This film tells us about the difficult life of a shopaholic and the ambition of have a good appetence and have a
good job._____________________________________________________________________________________

The term "Sikh" means disciple, student. Some historians suggests that the name "Sikh" is derived from
the ancient term"Saka". A Sikh is a disciple/subject of the Guru.
According to the Guru Granth Sahib, the Guru of The Sikhs, the definition of a Sikh follows:
“ One who calls himself a Sikh of the Guru, the True Guru, shall rise in the early morning hours
and meditate on the Lord's Name. Upon arising early in the morning, the Sikh is to bathe, and
cleanse himself in the pool of nectar. Following the Instructions of the Guru, the Sikh is to
chant the Name of the Lord, All sins, misdeeds and negativity shall be erased. Then, at the
rising of the sun, the Sikh is to sing Gurbani; whether sitting down or standing up, the Sikh is to
meditate on the Lord's Name. One who meditates on my Lord, Ik Onkar, with every breath and
every morsel of food - that Gursikh becomes pleasing to the Guru's Mind. That person, unto
whom my Lord and Master is kind and compassionate - upon that Gursikh, the Guru's
Teachings are bestowed. Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of that Gursikh, who
himself chants the Naam, and inspires others to chant it." ”
According to Article I of the "Rehat Maryada" (the Sikh code of conduct and conventions), a Sikh is
defined as "any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being; ten Gurus, from Guru
Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh; Guru Granth Sahib; the teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism
bequeathed by the tenth Guru; and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion". Sikhs believe in
the equality of humankind, the concept of universal brotherhood and One Supreme transcendent and
immanent God (Ik Onkar).
The Sikh religion was founded by Guru Nanak. The origins of Sikhism lie in the teachings of Guru
Nanak and his successors. The essence of Sikh teaching is summed up by Nanak in these words:
"Realization of Truth is higher than all else. Higher still is truthful living". Sikh teaching emphasizes the
principle of equality of all humans and rejects discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, and gender.
According to Sikh tradition, the Guru spread his teachings wherever he traveled. Near the end of his life
the Guru had many followers from many walks of life and religions. The Guruship was consecutively
passed down to nine other Gurus, who were stated to have the divine light of God with them. These
Gurus strengthened and expanded the Sikh religion and the revelations of God. The final and last
Guruship was bestowed upon a combined institution of holy-book (Granth) immersed in The Guru
Granth Sahib Ji and people (Panth) i.e the Guru Khalsa.
Most male Sikhs have Singh (lion) and most female Sikhs Kaur (princess) as their last names. Sikhs who
have undergone the khanḍe-kī-pahul, the Sikh initiation ceremony, can also be recognised by the Five
Ks: uncut hair (Kesh); an iron/steel bracelet (kara); a Kirpan, a sword tucked in a gatra strap; Kachehra, a
cotton undergarment; and a Kanga, a small wooden comb. Baptised male Sikhs must cover their hair
with a turban, while baptised female Sikhs can choose to wear a turban.
The greater Punjab region is the historical homeland of the Sikhs, although significant communities exist
around the world.

Rainbow Nation
Rainbow Nation is a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-apartheid South Africa, after South Africa's first fully
democratic election in 1994.
The phrase was elaborated upon by President Nelson Mandela in his first month of office, when he proclaimed: "Each of us is as intimately
attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld - a rainbow
nation at peace with itself and the world."
The term was intended to encapsulate the unity of multi-culturalism and the coming-together of people of many different nations, in a country
once identified with the strict division of white and black [apartheid].
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Nation [adapted - 2011-05-20]
I. Being informed
South African National Flag The many migrations that formed the modern Rainbow Nation.
You are going to watch a film in which Nelson Mandela is the main character. In his first term as the South African
President, he initiates a unique venture to unite the apartheid-torn land: enlist the national rugby team on a
mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1057500/ - adapted)
1. The poem below not only provides the film with a title, but is also important in the film plot*. Let’s read it to
understand the message.
Invictus The title is Latin for “unconquered.” The poet, William Ernest Henley, wrote it
from his hospital bed. His indomitable spirit led him to triumph over the
amputation of his leg.
1. Identify the words in the poem that refer to situation of
despair.
Night, Black, Fell, bludgeonings, wrath, winced, cried, tears, Horror, Menace,
punishments._______________________________________________
________________________________________________
2. Now write the words / verses in the poem that refer to
hope, success and confidence.
unconquerable soul, unbowed, unafraid, master of my fate, captain of my
soul_____________________________________________
________________________________________________
* In the film “Invictus”, Nelson Mandela gives the rugby captain a copy of the poem by
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Plot (story) – brief summary: On 11 February 1990, Nelson Mandela is released from Victor Verster Prison after 27 years
spent in jail. Four years later, Mandela is elected the first black President of South Africa. His presidency faces enormous
challenges in the post-Apartheid era, including rampant poverty and crime. Mandela is particularly concerned about racial
divisions between black and white South Africans, which could lead to violence. The ill will which both groups hold towards each
other is seen even in his own security detail where relations between the established white officers, who had guarded Mandela's
predecessors, and the black ANC additions to the security detail, are frosty and marked by mutual distrust.________________
While attending a game of the Springboks, the country's rugby union team, Mandela recognizes that the blacks in the stadium
cheer against their 'home' squad, as the mostly-white Springboks represent prejudice and apartheid in their minds. He remarks
that he did the same while imprisoned on Robben Island. Knowing that South Africa is set to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup in
one year's time, Mandela convinces a meeting of the newly black-dominated South African Sports Committee to support the
Springboks. He then meets with the captain of the Springboks rugby team, François Pienaar (Matt Damon), and implies that a
Springboks victory in the World Cup will unite and inspire the nation. Mandela also shares with François a British poem,
"Invictus", that had inspired him during his time in prison.________________________________________________________
François and his teammates train. Many South Africans, both black and white, doubt that rugby will unite a nation torn apart by
some 50 years of racial tensions. For many blacks, especially the radicals, the Springboks symbolise white supremacy. Both
Mandela and Pienaar, however, stand firmly behind their theory that the game can successfully unite the South African
country.______________________________________________________________________________________________
Things begin to change as the players interact with the fans and begin a friendship with them. During the opening games,
support for the Springboks begins to grow among the black population. By the second game, the whole country comes together
to support the Springboks and Mandela's efforts. Mandela's security team also grows closer as the various officers come to
respect their comrades' professionalism and dedication.______________________________________________________
The Springboks surpass all expectations and qualify for the final against The All Blacks— South Africa's arch-rivals. New
Zealand and South Africa were universally regarded as the two greatest rugby nations, with the Springboks being the only side
to have a winning record against the All Blacks up to this point; however the All Blacks overtook the Springboks in head-to-head
wins later in the decade, and also won a test series for the first time in South Africa the following year.
[4]
The first test series
between the two countries in 1921 was the beginning of an intense rivalry, with emotions running high whenever the two nations
met on the rugby field._________________________________________________________________________________
Before the game, the Springbok team visits Robben Island, where Mandela spent 27 years in jail. There Pienaar is inspired by
Mandela's will and his idea of self-mastery in the poem "Invictus". François mentions his amazement that Mandela "could spend
thirty years in a tiny cell, and come out ready to forgive the people who put [him] there"._______________________________
Supported by a large home crowd of both races, Pienaar motivates his team. Mandela's security detail receives a scare when,
just before the match, a 747-400 flies in low over the stadium. It is not an assassination attempt though, but a demonstration of
patriotism. The Springboks win the match on an added time long drop-kick from fly-half Joel Stransky, with a score of 15–12.
Mandela and Pienaar meet on the field together to celebrate the improbable and unexpected victory. Mandela's car then drives
away in the traffic-jammed streets leaving the stadium. As Mandela watches the South Africans celebrating together from the
car, his voice is heard reciting the poem "Invictus".___________________________________________________________
