by Kevin (21) on May 4th, 2012 Sonnet 18 is a poem written by Shakespeare, and it’s a love-related poem. The general image of the poem is pretty sweet. The writer is comparing his love with summer’s day. He uses a lot of metaphors and poetic expressions, mostly to describe his lover.
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or [...]
by Kevin (21) on May 4th, 2012 This poem, Death, Be not proud, gave me a chance to look back on my thoughts about death. John Donne, the writer of this piece, did not fear death. Through out the whole poem, his attitude was very bellicose. He tried to deny death and considered it as a long rest and sleep. He came [...]
by Kevin (21) on May 3rd, 2012 I recently finished a book called ‘Auslander’ by Paul Dowswell. Auslander means a foreigner in German. In the book, the main character, Piotr, loses his parents by a car crash right after the Nazis had occupied Poland. He’s sent to an orphanage after his parents’ deaths but his life isn’t easy at the orphanage. So [...]
by Kevin (21) on April 27th, 2012 “The Road Not Taken” is a poem written by Robert Frost. It tells a story of a person’s past when the person had to make a really important choice. This poem makes us think a lot.
Firstly, we can think about metaphors. The person was on his journey. But his journey on this poem actually [...]
by Kevin (21) on April 20th, 2012 This poem, Not waving but drowning, was written by Stievie Smith. I think the meaning that the writer was trying to convey was that we should never lie to people. Metaphors were used through out the whole poem. The writer was referring to a man who always love larking, trying to call for help but [...]

by Kevin (21) on February 27th, 2012 The play “Romeo and Juliet” ends in a bad way because of fate. There are plenty of evidence in the play that deaths of Romeo and Juliet was all decided by some supernatural power. For example, in the prologue, “A star-crossed lovers take their life” (prologue.6). It’s an ancient idea that the stars are related [...]

It helped me understand the story [...]

by Kevin (21) on October 1st, 2011 We have finished watching Macbeth in English class. In my opinion, it was a interesting piece and I enjoyed it very much.

by Kevin (21) on September 9th, 2011 A lot of exciting things were going on in the chapter one of the novel we’re reading; Bog Child. Chapter on was fairly hard to understand because I couldn’t understand many of the idioms and I didn’t know about the Irish boundaries. When Fergus and uncle tally said they don’t know if they were in [...]

I have learnt new things like geographical history. I never thought that England were divided into so many countries and the origin of the Enlish was [...]
