Burning Love

skipping beats, So calm and sweet, A true Angel in the streets. Coming to an End Coming to an end, As all things must, Not a soul around, Only dust, Fire burns the ground, But no one’s there, No one can stop it now, No one cares, The world, a burning mess, Our creation, Fire engulfs it now, Nation by nation Coming to an end, As all things must, Watch and you might see, From skyscrapers to dust. A Twist-filled Night In the middle of the night, When it began to rain, The house woke, The…

soon feel like Jell-O. Those remarks fired, however, came from irrelevant individuals; but what if they came from a loved one? Their impact instantly solidifies and sinks in like cement. An individual that was supposed to provide care, support, and love, instead provided insecurity and hatred. Dale, my “father,” was an alcoholic. And when he became intoxicated, hurled insult after insult that later caused insecurity after insecurity. Because Dale never provided the comfort I craved; I found what…

When presented with the Labouchere Amendment in 1885, Queen Victoria refused to sign due to the references to lesbianism saying, “Women didn’t do such things”. It’s an entertaining story and yet, it’s a myth, one that began circulating in the 1970’s (“Background: Myth on Victorian and ban on Homosexuality”), and its popularity continues since it fits with the modern idea of prudish, sexually repressed Victorians. While we don’t know Queen Victoria’s views on homosexuality, we do know she had a…

should not really know about them in the first place. As Lord Elphinstone declared, ‘I look upon these women who have taken up this matter as worse than the prostitutes.’ though it’s not as if La Fanu tries to disguise it in any code “I have been in love with no one, and never shall,” she whispered, “unless it should be with you”. Laura may profess to feel slightly repulsed and bemused by Carmilla’s advances, but in the end she remains enthralled with her female (maybe only) lover years after…

For my independent reading this month, I chose to read The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton (which she wrote in high school). I would classify this book as a “coming of age” novel, but since that wasn’t an option on the genre list, it also classifies as a realistic fiction novel. I think it can be both of those genres because the protagonist of the book, Ponyboy, emotionally and mentally grows over the book and bonds with people who you wouldn’t expect. At the beginning of the book, Ponyboy is…

symbol of femininity. Mrs. Ramsay and Lily Briscoe are both, though in different ways, similar to the meaning and description of an actual lighthouse. As the emotional safe haven for her family, Mrs. Ramsay accomplishes her societal obligations by “burning bright” with understanding and empathy and “beckoning” people home to emotional security and stability. Lily, on the other hand, “brightens” and “dims” her “light” which can be analyzed as the unrestrained approval of societal gender…

She can't even think about her life now, doesn't really want to there's not really anything to think about. Her parents abandoned her, she was found on the doorstep some old abandoned building, she was thrown into the shitty low social class foster system, she ran away and lived on the streets for three years until she was kidnapped by Doll's House and raised to be Micheal's best, most expensive virgin. That's it that's her life and it's pitiful. She closes her eyes, turning to face the back…
