Of Mice and Men.

When Mr. Christopher revealed to the class that Of Mice and Men was his favourite book, I was honestly disappointed: I've always had prejudicial views on it, perceiving it as the 'set three' text.

However, after reading it last night, I now understand.

in comparison to To Kill a Mockingbird, it's a slightly more infantile novel consisting of themes such as: loneliness, loyalty, friendship and justice (probably), whereas mockingbird tackles prejudice, isolation, (loss of) innocence, appearances versus reality. However, I've never cried so much over a book as I did for of mice and men. 

I don't know whether it was just personal (partially due to the superflous dog deaths) but I think it's the kind of book that will cause each individual to cry - on at least four occasions - for different, personal reasons. 

You think of 'OMAM' as the novel studied by lower sets for GCSE because it's pretty straightforward in contrast to the complexity of Mockingbird (in addition to being a quarter of the length), but Omam left me equally discombobulated due to cognitive provocation. 

Also the culminating tears for Omam were sad then happy; they were the converse at the end of mockingbird. 


This experience has further incited enmity towards Gove you malevolent being

Y u ban these amazing novels :(((

Altruism

Another v nice word up there with catharsis its the concept of acting selflessly; self-sacrifice for others Do you know what its like to have someone criticise your every step, every microcosmic fragment of a movement, every action you inadvertently burden until you begin to chastise your own thoughts?? This is who my mother is ostensibly marrying. Here are some frustratingly hypocritically things he says plus comments I would riposte, had I, the audacity: 'did you boil the kettle????? you're wasting money by filling it up all the way' - ok it says min 0.8ltrs and the hard water limescale has clouded the lucidity so you can't tell when it reaches it. So sorry for not being able to judge this minimum value by the weight alone or the metaphysical aqueous forces but evidently the divinity Poseidon was not by my side bc this subversive domestic corruption that is this slight overestimation is surely paralleled to regicide!! Someone hit up ma home g shakespeare bc seem...

CONDOLENCES ARE AVEC X

It seems my soul may have leaked slightly out of my spirit a bit in the exam hall today Unfortunately, for the past two weeks my sleep schedule has been abhorrently what one may consider abhorrently peversive: time of bed varied from 2-4am; time of awakening varied between 2-4pm. Thus, time spent in the realms of my dreams ranged from 12 - 14 hours. Though actually dreams only last about 5 mins even thus the latter utterance was totes nonsensical. Did you know you have multiple dreams but you only remember the most recent one in the morning (or afternoon) just before you awaken!!! Unless your dogs wake you up at 12 and then you fall back asleep and then you can remember two bcus surruptitious poodlie :3 But anyway, due to having to wake up just TWO HOURS AFTER FALLING ASLEEP (bcus unbreakable cycle), I'm sorry my fellow english language A level students, but one was unable to conceal; you all had to feel. Yes, I appreciate you all suffered the burden of the feeling the glacial ...

Waterproof; Nothing to Loose

Yesterday was really nice because my dad and Aunt's boyf went out shopping for technological items whilst my Aunt and I went down to the infinity edge pool. it was such a beautiful moment because while my Aunt was reading on the sunbed I was the only person in the entire pool (really long) and I just swam slightly following the curvature of the curves bcus love all your curves and all your edges; all your perfect imperfections. V invigorating experience just sitting on the outer edge thinking: how it do it?? how water vanish like dat?????? Also having my hair in a bun to prevent chlorine damage felt v revolutionary bcus by exposing my neck There was more opportunity for the cold of my soul to leak out and permeate, hopefully superseding the abhorrence of the radiating heat <3 However I was so grateful for the glacial coolness encapsulating me <3 Thereafter, I exited the perpetual phenomenon and allowed the aqueous droplets of chlorine (chemically intertwined with at least a f...
