Oh what to do!!!?

I hate this part of my day, where i rack my brain thinking what can i possibly write about!? Then I remember... I can write about anything! The beauty of literature, so free spirited.

So today I thought I’d put my creativity to use. Still focusing mildly on Orwell’s 1984; the theme of control and manipulation, I decided to write a ( Read more... )

Or Well...?

Did anyone else find the themes in Orwell’s ‘1984’ hilarious? I sure did. I had such a good laugh about it. I mean

‘thought crime’, how ridiculous! I sat there during the tutorial thinking how the hell anyone can know what Im

thinking right now… half the time I don’t even know what Im thinking!!!

The world Orwell paints in 1984 is ( Read more... )

WHAT IF?

What if your whole world collapsed?
Everything you once stood for,
Dissappear, as though it never existed.

What if the person you thought you knew,
was the person you knew the least.
What if that person was you?

What if everything you once knew turned into everything you cant understand?
That the answers left more questions.
What if there are no ( Read more... )

 "Ring-a-ring a Rosy, a Pocket Full of..."

T.S. Elliots "Hollow Men" is WOW, very deep, very intense writing! I actually got a cold shiver reading the last stanza and the very last line.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Not with a BANG but with a whimper.

My Live Journal entry discussed the issues I faced in writing in this style, so to see someone I know carry it out with such brilliance is great!

The way your mind ponders is lovely, and its admirale how you were still able to tell the ( Read more... )

The Works of Thought.

Todays tutorial gave me a pleasant insight to a new form of language. Probably not a new form, but a form that is completely new to me! What Nikki described as 'stream approachesness' has left quite an impression on me. How simple; writing down your trail of thoughts, whereever it wonders, your writing wonders with it. It made ( Read more... )

After reading Yeats' "In Memory of Major Roberts Gregory" I cant help but grieve the repressed emotions I withhold of the loss we (and I say we as myself and community) have encountered in the last 5 months.

Three young lives gone without any warning, each so close to each other that we have had no time to grieve for each individually.

Language of the Heart

I admire the language that Conrad and Yeats use. I admire the way they strive to use words for a purpose, and how their sentences seem like they travel for months on.

At first "Heart of Darkness" is hard to take in, especially once you dive through the first pragraph into what future english teachers would comprehend as the body ( Read more... )

So this week we looked at Owen's "Letter to his Mother" and Sassoon's "Glory to Women".

In my perspective, both poets have a resonably low regard to women and their status in war, which is fair enough seeing that there are no women at the front. In saying that though, I see Sassons poem being more bitter and negative toward women, in comparison to  ( Read more... )
