Inspired by wensi's post on her blog which can be found here:

i have decided to tell you all my patchwork quote.
Now this was a difficult decision as i didnt want any bloody soppy quote or a 'meaningful' quote but something interesting. so i turned to one of the few books i have read - no not LOTR - but to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Controlling the urge to display 'DON'T PANIC' as the quote i began sifting through the entertaining pieces of advice found such as 'On no account should you allow a Vogon to read poetry to you' or 'A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have' i even refrained from using...
42
but Lo! this i said to myself was a keeper..
'There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.'
i thought it was a good idea i even recall trying something like it when i was younger though my aim wasnt to fly..more just...throw yourself at the ground and dont get hurt..then..watch others and laugh if they do get hurt LOOLL
so yes...honestly i just had an urge to footnote all my quotes...but i wont.

im back from being distracted by internals
okay so cause i cant think what to post and i had another scare that i forgot my password i decided to post.
here is a sample of what i have been labouring over...sad but true...this is part of my commentary on the poem 'sweet like a crow' by Michael Ondaatje for world lit 2.
"The imagery of the poem collates to seemingly emphasise the author’s understanding of human nature. The emotionless relating of death as well as life shows an acceptance for the natural world with its cruelty and blessing. The ‘womb full of twins’ can be seen as quite a clinical statement void of emotion and personal bond. The use of the ‘womb’ emphasises the view of the subject not as a person but as a container for new life. This vague detachment felt by the use of the synecdoche in this phrase is enigmatic as the entire poem is about eclectic images drawn together by what seems to be personal experience. This general description of new life may be written to bring the reader into the poem as this symbol of new life and the unspecified ‘womb’ could relate to any human female. The imagery of death and this raw account of the natural food chain follows immediately seemingly to balance the life carried in the womb. The balance of the personal interpretation as well as the aspects of core human nature is displayed in the raw images of life portrayed in the poem."
im proud of the above paragraph cause i basically talk about one word for about a hundred and that i use the word synecdoche ^^
The poem Sweet Like a Crow seems to echo the journey of a human’s perception. Focusing on the great natural qualities of Ceylon, the poem delves into an eclectic array of images. As the poem seems to cast aside ordered scansion and revel in chaotic rhyme the natural world shows its dominant position through the cyclical and inevitable portrayal of life and death. The nature of our existence is key to this poem as it focuses on the diverse experiences one may obtain through a life, and the soft irony is displayed as these events in turn are able influence how we view a new experience.
As you can tell by the lack-lustre conclusion. i abhor conclusions!
and you have no idea how many times i used the word imagery alone!!!
okay this is enough.

words words words
LOL so this is random
i found this after a funny word so i decided to put it here..you see they called a girl 'delectable' LOOLL like a bowl of soup!!!LOL!
"Instead of treating females as non-entities as Confucian orthodoxy had prescribed, the posters not merely showed them, but presented them as gorgeously dressed, professional women that radiated an air of self-confidence. To many, these 'modeng [modern]' girls were a reflection of women's search for a separate identity"
http://www.iisg.nl/landsberger/vis.html
so does objectification give power to women or disempower them?
whatever your answer i bet it contains the phrase 'to an extent...'
...im so sick of the phrase 'to an extent...'
back to art all is almost done.

The sun will come out...tomorrow...its only a day away.
put on your ruby slippers IB friends and click your heels together. we only have four more months of school.
im sitting here doing tok and i have a problem. i dont know what it is but there is a problem.
so ive been told that there are different types of things we know
Known knowns= something we know and we know what it is.
known unknowns= something we know that we don't know <- of which this is one
unknown knowns= something we dont know of but we know
unknown unknowns= something we dont know about and we dont know that we dont know.
i dont really get it... i probably got it wrong and btw it really has nothing to do with tok.
tok depresses me...makes me feel stupid as probably with others too...i mean...gosh
