Based on the novel The Curse by Lee Sue Ann, the character that I consider exemplary is Azreen because

Azreen because she is

courageous and brave. She shows resilience and she always fight for what she believes in.
Firstly, the reason I think that she is exemplary because I find that Azreen who does not believe the villagers tales
about The Old Lady is being brave by accepting her friends challenge to firstly knocking on the door of The Old lady and
then meet her in person. . Subsequently, she befriends The Old Lady and makes her, her precious confidante and
counsellor.
In addition, Azreen as an exemplary is courageous by confronting Puan Normalas mob outside Mohd Asrafs
house when Nek once again has fallen ill but dies, in order to stop the Old Lady from entering Neks house. Although she is
outnumbered, she dares to face Puan Normalas horde to protect Neks house from them. Moreover, she confronts a group
of men led by Asraf who goes to the Old ladys house to seek revenge after Nek dies as they believe the Old lady has
poisoned Nek.
It is a dog-eat-dog world out there so we must be brave and courageous to overcome our daily obstacles and
stand for our own rights. We should not be intimidated by our fear and we must be like Azreen, my exemplary from the
novel, in order to survive in this world.
The second exemplary quality of Azreen is that she portrays resilience throughout the story and she constantly
fights for what she believes in. This can be seen when Azreen does not give up and is determined and resilient to seek the
truth of Madhuris death even though others do not want to tell her the truth. She asks Asraf and The Old Lady about
Madhuris death and slowly gathers evidences. Finally she knows the truth about Madhuris death.
In her village, a woman should be conservative and well mannered but Azreen is a contrast to that and thus she is
hated but she ignores the villagers perception of her, as she believes that women have their own rights. This can be seen
as she befriends Asraf and joins the boys hockey team and similarly makes The Old Lady her best friend. These are the
qualities that have attracted me to Azreen and I definitely will make her my exemplary.
In this cruel world, we must stand for our own right and fight for what we believe in. We must follow Azreens
resilience to make this world a better place. Therefore based on all the above reasons and evidence, my choice, Azreen
makes the best exemplary.
