Horrible feelings

I used to love you,
now my hatred
Is as enormous as the universe
Is high like the Everest
Is as bitter as grapefruit
Is as true as maths
Is as painful as when a relative dies
You are a never-ending headache
I used to love you, but now everything changed.

Isn´t it ironic?

1) IRONIES IDENTIFY 


Verbal: "And isn´t it ironic"
"Well life has a funny way of sneaking on you"


Situational: "An old man turned twenty-eight. He won the lottery and died the next day" 
"It is a black fly in your Chardonnay" 
"It is a death row pardon two minutes too late." 
"It´s like rain on your wedding day" 
"It is a free ride when you´ve just alreaady paid"
"It is a good advice that you just didn´t take."
“Traffic jam when you’re already late/A no smoking sign on your cigarette break/It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife/It’s meeting the man of your dreams/And then meeting his beautiful wife.”
"It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife"


Understatement: "A little too ironic"


2) The most ironic sentence is "And isn´t it ironic" because is the only one that says the opposite of it what really mean, also is the sentence more shocking and repeated.


3) On my opinion the writer is to show the sadness of a situation, because in the song is only talking about terrible situations. The voice and the lyrics of the song is depressing, I think there is not humor at all.

"How does it make you feel?"

The aim of this essay to inform about the video called "How does it make you feel?" by Air. In my interpretation the women wants to leave because she can´t have enough time to stay with him, also because he smoks. The man feels "warm" and sad because he don´t want her to dissapear, she is the most beautiful entity that he have ever dreamed of.
This video is different from others the images,animals and objects have a special meaning. It is that this things represent the man´s, who talks, feelings that he have of her.
Then of seeing a couple of times, I recognised a relation between the images, lyrics and music. Along the video the parts of the women unite because the boy say her nice things, like "I will be your angel". But at the last she transform in a monster, (with a head of fish, ears of a mouse and the body of a human) because she realise that their relation would never be stable (he smoks).
My reaction of the different parts of the video: this cause me impression , when I saw the girl arming and disarming. The severe voice cause me fear, and feel strange. At the beggining I didn´t understand the video so I was confused, but when I finsh seeing it I have my mind cleared.  In my opinion, the video shows that the man is messy so she did not accept him like he is.

Descriptive Composition: "Secrets"

Lion´s soul

In the story “Secrets”, Mary was the boy´s Great Aunt. The main conflict in the story was that Mary was betrayed by her nephew.
When she was young she had dark hair, she never loosen it, she had brown eyes, her nose was thin and straight. Mary always smiled, she was a very beautiful person.
The time passed, and when she was old but healthy she had a small-her head and when she sat on a chair it seemed she got smaller each year. Also her skin was fresh, her hair white and always well washed.
Then when she was dying she had her fingers around a crucifix but as she was so weak their fingers kept loosening, this shows us she was very religious. She didn't feel well so her face was pale and she moved her head side to side closing her eyes.
Mary suffered a very difficult past. The Great Aunt had had a lovely romance, which was in the First World War. Despite the distance they were in love, so they sent letters to each other often. the letters were sent by John but they were signed “Brother Benignus” because the relationship between Mary and John was secret and private; also because Brother Benignus changed his life and became a priest.
In another part of her past was her nephew. They had a good relationship, they played, she read books to him all nights. Until a day this wonderful relation finished because the boy betrayed and deceived Mary by invading her privacy. He took and read John´s letters when his Great Aunt had banned him to touch them.
The behaviour of Mary on one hand was understandable. She was very angry with her nephew because he had ignored Mary´s order. But on the other hand she acted badly because the Great Aunt hit him with a slap and also she said to him : “You are dirt, and always will be dirt”. The days passed and she died.
To conclude, that quote represents the character Mary. This shows us how angry Mary was in the story. If we had to choose an animal for this character it will be a lion. In the story, Mary was brave like a hunting lion, because although her boyfriend was in the distance she continued loving him.
