Good Evening.
I was planning to do another book review this week but studies have got in the way as I don't want to fall behind, which I thought deserved a small update. I have two weeks until my CW TMA is due in and three weeks until my Lit one is due in.
Lit.
So I finished Joyce's Dubliners which was, so far, overall the most enjoyable. I think that's because it's the closest to our time, being the 20th century and all, so it's easier to grasp what's going on, aside from the Irish Movement thing, which I know a small amount of information. Small being something to do with potatoes and independence. Anywho, since, I've looked at New York poems and prose, specifically (who I remember) Langston Hughes. I chose to skip Metropolis and not include it as an option for my TMA because:
a) It's a film, harder to pinpoint references
b) Studied it at A level film
c) Silent film and tired me
So far I like the poems and think I know which ones I will pick to reference the city, as well as a minimum of one short story from Dubliners. I haven't started any planning or actually finished the studying for the essay but I will. After I finish
CW.
I'm getting so into this life writing. But only because I am planning on writing a piece of fictionalised autobiography for my TMA? Writers prerogative and all so I won't be spilling my plans on what that is until after. I've actually done some of the exercises this week, like write about an object. Some I haven't bothered with. But yeah all good.
Other life.
As you can see in the pictures I got a belated birthday present of the Hyrule Hystoria, the history of all things Zelda. One of the best presents I have ever received. Secondly books! Just started reading The Fault in our Stars and already like it more than Green's other book, Looking for Alaska. I lent Shiver to one of my friends and she agrees on it's awesomeness. If you're a fan of twilight etc this is so much better. Also got E.E.Cummings poetry. Read a few online and have really started getting into poetry since I had to write my own, so thought I would buy some more. Work is work. Planning on moving back to London after my travels. Blah Blah.
Time to read.
