Like wtf wooooshhh then our year is gone. 2010 went by so quickly i didnt even see it go by. Two years as a class, ended today. Our last lesson together while we prepare for what decides the rest of our lives. How saddenning can that get? very.Its like so depressing to know its really the end. Halfway through the day i just went up to denyse and hugged her. So shocking haha. And there is hardly even anything entertaining enough to be noticed, except for the maths/ talk with Mrs ho. She actually agrees with what we're thinking :o Then there was the long talks with random ppl about our lives, its fun:D we should do it more often, while we still can. LOL. I like ppl with weird chinese accents! like omg we were talking about balls and sticks and holes(if you know what i mean). Tmr Bishan lib at 10a.m.! whee i cant wait. seems like fun, yet doesnt. Are we really gonna remain like this? All of us are falling to pieces.

We talked all night about the rest of our livesWhere we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And then we got real blue Stay at home talking on the telephone We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come Whatever We will still be Friends Forever So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back Will our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single rule? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels sad. Tuesday, September 28, 2010

A rant on this blog. I never thought i would do this. But seriously, you people contradict yourselves. You say we're split up. Dont you realise you're the only ones that split us up? cant you see beyond youselves and see, that the rest of us are in one piece. We're like a huge puzzle with missing pieces. Not a totally unfixed puzzle like you think. Cant you see it? i hope you do. And this post is meant for you to see.What a day.

‘Evans’ A poem that deals with an aspect of the less pleasant side of life is ‘Evans’ by R. S. Thomas. I will look at certain aspects of the poem such as word choice and imagery. ‘Evans’ is themed upon death, and how death is inescapable. ‘Evans’ starts off seemingly in the middle of a conversation. It goes on to detail the writer’s (speaker’s) experience with the man Evans. The writer had left Evans to die, and was trying to express regret to a possible listener. In ‘Evans’, an unpleasant side of life is immediately established. Thomas creates a bleak scene, coupled with a sense of former life being taken away: “Evans? Yes many a time I came down his bare flight Of stairs into the gaunt kitchen With its wood fire, where crickets sang” In the first line the question mark after ‘Evans?’ indicates to us that it is an answer to a question. This teases the reader, making them think about what was said beforehand. It is plausible to say that the speaker is being questioned about Evans, and his death, which is revealed to us later on. Thomas uses phrases such as ‘bare flight’ and ‘gaunt kitchen’ to create a sense of emptiness and despair, usually feelings which are associated with death and dying. The word gaunt is particularly suggestive towards death because it is normally related to humans, as well as a sense of a former life, now withered down to a bare existence. The personification is a very good technique used by Thomas to link the kitchen to the theme. The mention of ‘wood fire’ seems like a phrase with no extra meaning or intent, but a wood fire is reasonably old fashioned, and usually its only older people that might consider having one. This gives us food for thought about Evans himself. Evans may be quite old, and perhaps he is nearing the end of his life. Thomas’ word choice in the quote below paints us a vivid, and dramatic scene, along with a continued sense of an aspect of the less pleasant side of life: “Accompaniment to the black kettles Whine and so into the cold Dark to smother in the thick tide… Of his stark farm on the hill ridge” In this quote, use of the phrase ‘black kettles Whine’ is particularly implicit towards an unpleasant aspect of life, for several reasons. The first reason is that, the use of the word black, in front of kettle makes the kettle seem miserable, along with the kitchen and the whole setting. The word ‘black’ also may make us think of other things, which emphasise the theme of death, such as a funeral, and stereotypical mourning clothes. Secondly, the word whine (which is included in the quote) is a perfect example of how the word choice in ‘Evans’ is paramount to describing the less pleasant aspect of life, which is in this case, death. The word whine is defined as a long, high-pitched unpleasant sound, and its connotations are of, amongst others, pain and despair. The reason Thomas chose ‘whine’ over something like ‘whistle’ is so that when we hear ‘black kettles whine’ we immediately think of something more unpleasant or distressing than an innocent kettle’s whistle. Following that, the words cold (which has connotations of an inhospitable and unwelcoming environment), and dark (which has connotations of negativity) both indicate at a less pleasant aspect of life. Following that, the word stark before the word farm is to press on the less pleasant aspect of life. The word stark has a similar effect to the word gaunt, which was mentioned earlier. Then there is a break in the structure of the poem. This break is to highlight the writer/speaker’s change of focus from a description of setting in the first stanza, to a description of his guilt in the second stanza. Thomas continues his use of personification, and excellent word choice to display an aspect of the less pleasant side into the second stanza: “It was not the dark filling my eyes And mouth that appalled me; not even the drip Of rain like blood from the one tree Weather-tortured…” This extract has many details that allow us (the readers) to experience the speaker’s guilt. First off, Thomas gives substance to the word dark. He says “…dark filling my eyes and mouth”, which immediately enables you to visualize a threatening, evil environment. Many people would be frightened at the thought of darkness being given a physical substance, which is why Thomas has done so. This backs up that the idea of an aspect less pleasant side of life is death, and fear of death. Then, Thomas uses words and phrases that are simple and effective for relating to his theme of death, which is an aspect of the less pleasant side of life. For example, “drip of rain like blood” is very explicit when you read it, as blood has connotations of pain and suffering. This is easy for the reader to identify because it is a very obvious hint at the theme. It also makes the reader think of a sense of life ebbing away. Following that, Thomas writes “weather-tortured”, which is another rather obvious indication that this poem is dealing with an aspect of the less pleasant side of life. Thomas uses personification to create a scene in which a tree is worn down by the weather. But, by use of the word ‘tortured’, he has made the tree seem abused, and mal-treated. Thomas, dealing with, an aspect of the less pleasant side of life, ends the poem fittingly: “…it was the dark Silting the veins of that sick man I left stranded upon the vast And lonely shore of his bleak bed” Straightaway, death is strongly hinted at. The phrase “dark silting the veins” is one of the strongest hints in the poem. The word silting means to choke, and so, literally, darkness is choking this man’s veins. Adding on to that, veins carry blood around us. If something were to choke them, you would most likely die. This is a great use of word choice by Thomas. By saying, “dark silting the veins” instead of “A man was dying” he (Thomas) add a whole new dimension, in that the sick man wasn’t just dying, he was dying in a particularly painful manner. Use of the word ‘sick’ adds more pain and suffering toward the man’s death. The phrase “the vast and lonely” emphasizes upon the man’s pain, which is entirely comfortless. Finally, the repetition of the ‘b’ sound in “bleak bed” adds a sense of finality to the poem, effectively completing the description of the dying man. ‘Evans’ by RS Thomas is a very thought provoking poem, and it certainly influenced my thoughts and feelings towards the less pleasant side of life. I found it slightly distressing that anyone would die alone in a lot of pain. ‘Evans’ has definitely made me think about issues that hadn’t really crossed my mind before. I found it interesting that RS Thomas did not indicate whether or not Evans’ suffering ended after death, which in itself was disturbing. In conclusion, ‘Evans’ by RS Thomas is a poem which helped me to see death from a different perspective, and also it might make me think twice about leaving a sick or injured person alone.if you actually read that you're dumb haha. just to summarise, the above paragraph is 'A PILE OF BULLSHIT':D I cant be bothered.
