I'm sorry for not going to school like the cool/successful kids.

Got a trade?

Me? No, sick leave due to depression. That's over though. Need to work on that whole graduating thing now. I'm currently not doing so well, but I passed everything the past two marking periods.

So I have to study William Blake this semester. Anyone like his poetry/paintings/other works of art etc?

/notfamiliar

I revamped my myspace though.

Oh the things we do when the heating unit outside our rooms have something caught in them that makes them make loud rattling noises all night and not be able to sleep.

I covered him earlier in the semester; I can dig out the slide they used in the lecture if you want, from the uni website. It may not be much help, but there's some stuff in there that might be of interest.

And Blake's ok. The Tyger is the first poem I can remember, just it being read to me as a child. The rest I'm not too keen on. But he was loved during the sixties. I still prefer most of the other Romantics. Apart from Byron.

hey guys what's up im sad tonight how are u guys doing

F.T.A. is the proper abbreviation for the phrase "[B]F[/B]ailed [B]T[/B]o [B]A[/B]chieve."

I'm taking a load of creative writing modules next year. Not really going to help me get a job, but dammit I'll enjoy it. And its interesting.

I have a horrible hangover that's lasted all day. So time to crit something.

I want to take something like "creative writing" but maybe not because the only mandatory course I have is like "Knowledge and Culture" and "Oral and Written Communication" which will be enjoyable sure, but still...

Surf: I'm in my second yr doing a uni course for creative writing and I have the exact same view as you.

I was wondering if i could post a "How to Respond to Poetry" article or something in the forum? It'll take a few days to write but I think it will be beneficial for the forum.

Sure do it. I'll reply =)

We've finished Voltaire's Candide and now we're doing annotated bibliographies and i'm having the hardest time finding out information on the idea i'm doing. Explain if Candide is simply violent text, or text satirizing violence. Now clearly it is text satritizing violence but finding sources for works cited is near impossible. I'm basically finding the most general books and journals I can and then bullsh[size="2"]i[/size]tting my way through it. Yep...had to get that out for some reason.

It happens. I have to proof that AxA^-1 = 1.

STEP BY STEP.

Any form of discussion thread would be interesting. This could be a good idea, and could just evolve into a general poetry discussion thread.

Gay because the majority of criticism will be in French.

Seemed quite good, but I didn't read it all. Just cite the author and whatever journal it was, as opposed to the online source. Should work as I doubt they'll check too hard.

Way I see it is that the changing aspects of the novel as a form of fiction began changing about the time Voltaire was writing. The novel moved away from having to 'have a point' to become more of a reading for pleasure thing. So having alot of violence could be seen as trying to appeal to the masses. But then Voltaire was satirical about near everything, so...

I don't know, I haven't even read the book.

lol, i finished in time. Yea Voltaire was rather satirical and I think I got my point across well. Now I get to look forward to an 8 page essay dabbling in the Autobiography of Frederick Douglass.

My next essay is:

'Realism is just as much a matter of convention as anything else in literature'
Discuss such a position in light of at least any two works read this past semester.

Going to use Dubliners and something else
one of these

2: William Blake, selected poems
4: Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
5: Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

Which William Blake selected poems? I really like 'Tyger' and 'London'. And I'm currently reading 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte whom I believe is Charlotte's sister?

hey guyz

hey tronn whats happening
ps: everyone crit my latest pls

I'll do it maybe tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay man, end of term's coming out so there's essays and going out and getting drunk to be done.

So everyone needs to watch this:
