Sometimes, people can go missing right before our very eyes. Sometimes, people discover you, even though they've been looking at you the entire time. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves when we're not paying enough attention. 

........



We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path represents itself. Sometimes, we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found.

Wow. I was quite sure I had guessed the end of this story. But really, is it only happened in her mind, or the in-between place called Here is real, based on her point of view? Quite hate it for not continuing the complete story afterward, about Helena, Bobby, Joseph, and Wanda. It might be better to tell a bit story of them. How they wave goodbye silently throughout the other-world-called-Here to Sandy. How about them finding out this portal, the door that would lead them from there to here, the actual places where they truly belong to. And also the relationship between Jack and Georgia, Gregory and Sandy. I guess there are still more stories to tell. But maybe, the author take the main idea in the neutral zone. Because if she goes any way further than this, it may lead to another genre. That is what I think, honestly. It would be cool, when these missing people keep reappearing. And they also have the decision, whether they want to go back to real life or stay in Here. That is only my expectation. But it is okay. I am no one to be pleased at. 

I love the way Cecelia told the story. Because think I have grown loath towards Sandy Shortt. She really has attitude problem. Or maybe her journey is actually the lesson for her so that she can be fixed. I know she has some serious problems towards people, and how she treats them...

I can relate to her... 

Well, only a little part of it.

My Star by Robert Browning

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. Drama regarded as a nest of immorality by the Puritan authorities. It is just so different with Elizabeth period where drama produces a lot of outstanding works.

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...
