Hello, stranger!

My favorite stranger always comes up at this hour (4 AM) and asks whether I am okay or not. He always checks whether I end up staying up real late, and then he tuck me to bed (virtually). I guess that is the pleasure of falling in love with a total stranger. We should not share anything (or like trade feelings?) and just go on with the flow. 

We talk simply because we care. We care because one of us is a good listener. And yeah, he is the best listener like ever. He does not mind paying attention to every story I brought up to, even the silliest one. Then he would pretend he pat my back and suddenly I feel better. I do not understand why this thing happened, but I have been a good lover towards strangers. Aren't we all strangers formerly, before we decide to get to know more about each other?

But this man is different. I do not plan I would love him or bring this knot to a higher level, or whatsoever. We don't even have a plan to meet. I won't ask him why and vice versa. The most important thing is I feel blessed to have someone I can talk to without terrifying myself for hurting his heart unintended-ly, vice versa. I guess it is better this way. 

Some things are better left unknown.

So, to the loveliest stranger, I owe you a lot. You have been such a good ear and patter-machine for me. I still think about a meeting, though. :)

My Star by Robert Browning  Poem Analysis Today, I'd like to present my poem analysis; My Star by Robert Browning . This poem analysis would be divided into three parts, namely: introduction which will tell a brief background life of the poet, then to the content where there will be summary and intrinsic elements of this poem, and then move to the conclusion as the finish line. But more importantly, you need to know why I choose this poem, which belongs to Men and Women (1885)  poems collections of Browning. It is because this dainty love lyric is just beautiful and simple, in words-chosen and easy to understand too. More importantly, this poem shows us how the beauty of a person is different depending on its beholder. Yet, we should respect the differences.

The reign of the Puritans also produce a large amount of literature (poetry, prose), but drama could not thrive because it is prohibited by the authorities.

Since it is holiday already, so I have more time to gather the data and publish this article, which is entitled Gender Stereotypes and Performativity in Frozen movie . I analyzed this movie in order to complete the assignment given in Children literature class. But it turned out interesting! I focused only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. Check out the analysis from my paper! The writer analyzes Frozen movie by focusing only one theory; performativity from Judith Butler. In order to not broaden it into some theories that may be found in the plot, the writer thinks the misconstrued-performances of the main characters, Anna and Elsa are easily seen and become vast majority start from the beginning until the very end of the movie. But it doesn’t mean other theories are forgotten. Something that the writer immediately thought about when finishing the movie was that Frozen is perhaps the queerest animated film ever produced by Disney–queer as being a theoretical practic...
