As someone who has read this book before, I can definitely say that it’s very interesting rereading and examining how the relationships and initial interactions between the characters develop from the start.

music. And when I say mood lifting, I mean those tracks that allow you to hammer the steering wheel while driving or encourage you to scream lyrics into the void. They are the tracks you believe are the audio equivalent to the non-stop emotional turbulence experienced when one thing goes wrong, time after time, again and again. Here are my top five choices for “Murphy’s Law” type days. My suggestion: put them on a playlist, with some more of your favorite songs a la thrashing,…

In this chapter I will be discussing how Bobby Sands’ Prison Poems presents fear and trauma through alienation and surveillance, in reference to his trilogy ‘The Crime of Castlereagh’, ‘Diplock Court’ and ‘The Torture Mill – H-Block’. The period of 1914-1991 has been referred to as: The Age Of Extremes’ (Hobsbawn, 1994) as it was inclusive of wars, peace, advancements, destruction, failures and fears, therefore, it is fitting to apply this notion to The Troubles of Northern Ireland as it appears…
