        I chose this emoji because it symbolizes how sad the Happy prince statue is to see his poor people and to see the klayang swallow that has helped him freeze to death.

        I chose the scene when the bird helped the statue to give something expensive that was in his body to the poor people. Like a mother who can't give her sick son anything he wants, a sad man is writing a story for the theater. Hungry children on the streets.

I chose that adjective for my poem because:

1. Plush, The happy prince statue is made of gold, his eyes are sapphires on his sword there is a ruby so luxurious to look at.

2. Rueful, because the statue can only see how poor the people and their dead bird friends are.

3. Impressive, so attentive statue to see the poor, and so amazing to see the bird besedia accompany the statue blind to death.

4. Noble, so honored was the prince that he was made a golden statue and by his good nature that he was so fit to be respected by all.

5. Considerate, she was so attentive, even though she was just a statue she wanted to help the needy by sacrificing herself.

6. Enviable, attentive nature, helper nature, self-sacrifice are exemplary for all of society. especially for those who are able to help people who are in need around him.

Because he wanted to live nice and more importantly, but the police arrested him and put him in jail for 3 months according to his expectations.

        I chose this emoji because it can describe that funny story when someone who has never committed a crime, but he wants to go to jail, so he commits a crime but people don't consider it a bad crime and the police don't believe in his crime.

        I chose the scene where soapy meets a young woman and harasses her in front of the police, instead of the woman reporting him to the police he asks soapy to go buy him coffee. And also when he threw a stone into the glass of the store where there were also police, then soapy admitted his crime, but the police did not arrest him and instead chased someone who was running after the bus. I chose this because it's so funny when he asks someone to put him in jail/ do something and admit his guilt in front of the police.

I made a poem with the adjectives I chose to describe the characters:

1. Silly, because what he did it makes the reader and the police in the story also laugh to see it.

2. Obstinate, in order for his plan to succeed he does everything, even if it makes no sense.

3. Emused, because the innocent action that makes pebcak laugh.

4. Plucky, whose whims are taken bravely because he committed a crime in front of the police.

5. Yieldless, everything he did did not make him go to jail.
