“The Dew Breaker” Character Study

I was going to include Dany, as well,Continue reading ““The Dew Breaker” Character Study”
Avid, for Ava
As my project, I attempted to queer themes found in Astrophil and Stella, and instead rediscovered my hatred for creating poetry! It was an adventure, to say the least. Below, there are two poems I wrote after pulling apart the common themes between Nic’s selection of Sidney’s poetry, followed by a discussion of how thatContinue reading “Avid, for Ava”
A Stab at Sonnets
For this project, I decided to attempt a modernized sonnet in the style of Sir Phillip Sydney. The first sonnet is my modernization of Astrophil & Stella 1. I essentially tried to line for line translate his misogyny into a modern context. I think a lot of dudes these days are just as pitiful asContinue reading “A Stab at Sonnets”
Beauty … What Else is There?
Looks aren’t everything. We learn that from a young age, that it is what’s inside that counts. Not in accordance with the Red Cross Knight though. The story is a fantastical one at that which proves a difficult read, myself having to read it many times before I could quite understand it truly, but thereContinue reading “Beauty … What Else is There?”

Project 2 – The Spiderweb
Now I am in no ways an artist and would never try and take a chance on a project.

Shakuntala Unessay
For my second project, I decided to make a poster about some major these in the Shakuntala reading. The 3 large themes that I identified were Love vs Duty, Nature, Body and Spirt, and Concealment vs Separation. I felt like these themes specifically stuck out to me. “But how can it have happened that, simplyContinue reading “Shakuntala Unessay”
