Hello, I don't mean to sound all creepy or anything, but I miss your quotes and all. I hope you're not leaving Witty for good. It will have lost an amazing user...
I copied the poem into a Word document and more or less started annotating it. This is basically the summary of the notes:
The author of the poem was insecure and wanted to feel in control of something, so they took advantage of somebody with whom they were in a relationship (either platonic or romantic), even though that person didn’t deserve it at all. However, they have now lost the person they manipulated. I think they feel really bad now, not just for the person they hurt, but they have grown to think they are sort of heartless. I suppose this poem acts as a way of trying to sort that out. The last line sort of makes me think that the author is scared of how other people will now perceive her, but I feel like I’m misinterpreting that bit.
I definitely agree with you on the fact that the author's now feeling lonely, too. I get the impression that the author feels pretty alone/isolated at the moment.
thank you so much, you've helped a ton. It's just real heavy poetry, I don't really like it either... I tought maybe the meaning was worth looking into, but it seems like it's just a prach of the poetrytree that I'll never realy get into
Hello, my dear! I just wanted to say that you're very beautiful. You're gorgeous, smart, kind and a very cool person! If you ever need someone to talk, I'm here for you. Don't ever doubt yourself, because you're perfect just the way you are! Stay strong and absolutely awesome! Hope you have a fantabulous day, dear! :) x
I had to read it twice in French class, but I ended up actually liking it. That in itself is absolutely remarkable. I didn't like the ending much myself, but the little prince has a venemous snake bite him to return him to his planet, and the pilot can't find the body the next day. So I guess that is open to a lot of interpretation...
I hope somebody does, too. I'm going to go get myself another copy (but a cheaper one this time). All I've heard about the end is that everybody dies, but I suppose those endings are always the best.
Speak is a very good book. It's YA (which is a genre I'm kind of trying to get out of), but it's so much more than another Twilight. (It's about six years older than Twilight, actually.)
I wouldn't mind never eating meat again, to be honest.
Ah, I might have to learn about the cold war a bit first; I know some information, but have never actually sought out learning about it. And I only read half of 1984, because then I lost the book, which was very frustrating. That occurred about six months ago, and i still have not a clue where it is.
My favourite book would have to be either Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson or Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (The latter of which seems really childish, but I am quite fond of it.)
I read about half of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but just...never finished, which is strange, for I seldom do such things. I do plan to get back around to it.
I hadn't heard of Nicole Krauss, though, nor had I heard of Eating Animals (though at first I was confused, mixing it up with Orwell's Animal Farm, hahaha (which I also haven't read. Yet)).
I would totally be a vegetarian; I think that's an awesome lifestyle. I'm not at the moment (for familial reasons at the moment), but I definitely want to become one, even if it's just temporary... I have to read Eating Animals, now, haha.
(I followed you back, thought I was already following you but we have fixed that)
You're a Witty legend, man.
And it has been so long. I've been trying; I'm not sure if it's working, but I've been trying. I hope the same for you.

Yes, heavy is the perfect adjective for it. It's not my kind of thing to read either, haha. It's amazing how diverse poetry is~.

Honestly? I'm so flattered; thank you! It means a lot to me.
Oh, now I'm all nervous, hahaha.

Foer and Gaiman really are amazing. I haven't gotten around to reading much of their works, but their quotes, at the very least, are perfect.^^
