Um how do you say "my son is being beaten by a monkey with a stick" in Indian?

One random note before this blog runs like the wind I would like to point out page 151 when Mr. Kapasi notices that one of the boys "was slightly paler than the other children" (when he's shifting gears in the car), I didn't catch this little line the first time through but I found it very amusing. Okay so this entire story is centered on the lonely Mr. Kapasi, who is so starved fro love that he lusts after Mrs. Dias, who really just gives him an hour of her life where she would of been bored anyways. I mean I've spent many small-talk converstations asking quesstions just so that there isn't any awkward pauses. I honestly just felt sad for Kapasi throughout this story, and am almost glad Mrs. Dias loses his address just so he can move on with his life.

How I Meet Your Mother...erm Husband

First and foremost, if you are not aware of the tv show "How I Meet Your Mother" I would strongly suggest it as it is my favorite show. The twisted ending on this story (caused by the situational irony that caused the reader to think that Edie was going to marry Chris) seems to be the central technique used in this story. This story is full of quirky characters from Mrs. Bird (who was not invited to dinner) to Alice the fiance (who was not invited to the wedding). Alice really served as a catalyst for the Chris and Edie relationship. She causes him to run away by plane and to have "intimate" relations with girls in tents. I doubt Chris would of continued his advances on Edie if he hadn't of felt so pressured by Alice. But one doesn't know about Alice or the tent party until it happens (more situational irony). Clever I must say. The one part of the story that really tickles me pink is the point when Edie is caught with the dress on, how she just progresses from trying the dress on to drinking ginger ale in the kitchen.

Because every rose has it's thorn- A Rose for Emily

This story's beginning mirrored Metamorphosis (and I'm sure all of my classmates want to revisit that wonderful story.) Similar to Gregor's story, this short story begins with Emily dying. It isn't really a big deal, in fact her town can't wait to stick their noses into Emily's stuff. She's just dead, it says that she's sick but that's the deepest this story goes in explaining her death. Also this story is told in parts with each different section going in chronological order with the exception of the first one about her death. The questions at the end of this story suggest a surprise ending, but my fellow readers the ending wasn't a surprise at all. The women locks herself in her house after her father dies, showing a distressed mental status. Then there's a random terrible smell, and Emily buys poison, then to top off the cake Homer goes missing. HELLO she killed him, end of story. Even the fact that the body was creepily visited by Emily wasn't a surprise. Emily was messed up and no amount of lime would erase that.

I thought Twilight's Edward was bad

In a classic tale of woe and killers the reader finds the main character Edward. He spends the first couple of stanzas claiming to his mom that he killed is hawk and steed, to explain the blood. Might I mention that this boy must be quite wealthy for having a hawk, steed castles and a family. His mother nags and nags him waiting for him to tell the truth. The selfish son has killed his father and is feeling his grief. He tries to run away from the death that he causes, and it almost seems like his mother doesn't understand this. Like she wants death in this whole thing. Although Edward isn't the sharpest fork in the drawer, I would of worried as well if I was cursed to hell. I would desire death if my son was so inclined to kill and run, but alias she is only cursed.

A glance of the people in North London

In Lonely Hearts this poem's overall tone is of lost and lonely people. The 5 citizens are looking for love. The biker is lost, the gay vegetarian is lonely, the person desiring something new is stuck with the old, the straight is losing hope and the Liberian is inexperienced and scared. This poem repeats the lines "Do you Live in North London? Is it you?". Showing how together they are and close these people are. How these peoples have complex backgrounds but they only want love. Showing love holds no boundaries. It's for gays straights old and young. It's not biased, unlike stupid humans.
Let's hope that once these people look they find what they are looking for, able to see beyond their worlds to find love.

Please, please don't leave me

In "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" the speaker speaks (imagine that) of death (as a side note what is with all of the death poetry Mr. Costello?). This poem has many paradoxes like "blinding sight" and "frail deeds". It's overall a paradox because it seems like a good night is something that one should go gentle into. How this speaker is literally begging someone not to die, and to not give up. To be wise good, wise or grave. How they aren't to be humble and die. Honestly isn't this something that is found in any situation with death, because death is a one way journey and people don't enjoy being left behind. Perhaps this person should allow their loved one to leave into the good night with humbleness, it seems like that would make goodbyes better.

What is so bad about Autumn Mr. Shakespeare?

In "That time of year", the speaker has reached a new place in his life. He's reached Autumn, and is using that as a metaphor for bad things in his life. How Autumn brings back horrible memories ( I would have bad memories if I had hair like you Mr. Shakespeare). how Autumn also brings a death of his joy (line 8) and youth. Perhaps he should go walk among the vibrant leaves to see Autumn for it's true colors. Sure with fall comes winter and death of nature, but it only ends in winter. Autumn is not a 2nd death dear sir. It's a complex sadness. Like he's almost resentful that it has to be this way, but doesn't wish to change it.
