Who is me?
After reading the delight, yet slightly depressing tale of Mrs. Dalloway, it makes you think and reflect upon your own life. Virginia Wolf- great female writer- uses Dalloway to represent women. It really makes it surreal to look at the past and all the decisions that led you to this point; would you do it again?

Words of waste
T.S Eliot has to be one of the greatest poets ever. I enjoy his work, and more specifically his poem The waste Land. It was sort of hard to jump into right off the bat, but once you are immersed in a vision of wonder it all come alive...I wish the web page was that easy...but technology really isn't my forte unlike the words of a legendary poet.

Really, How great can they be?
Great Expectations...more then a phrase. Dickens was a genius with character development. The movie isn't too horrible, yet like most, it doesn't stay completely true to the text. My favorite would be Ms. Havisham. She gets to be as crazy as all get out- similar to the elderly (ever notice how they can say anything no matter how quirky with no repercussions). Though she is definitely a piece of somethin' with her strange house arrangements. Seriously, who on earth would devote their mind, thought, and entire life to revenge- not to mention keeping her wedding cake/decor/wedding dress in their exact condition for ever..... really, a whole lot of psychology.

Byron, Byron, Byron
Can I say it any more clear.... Lord Byron, you are one weird duck. After countless hours in front of my computer I now know more then I ever wanted to about the strange reputation you have... With all that said- I can be done with that paper, (which kinda really caught me off guard). I was analyzing "when we two parted", sad poem but even stranger when you find out that he swung both ways, so it could have been written about another man in a high position or his sister... That's right forbidden love of the arkansaians....Oh what fun it is to read and research...but it's done and I'm exhausted.
