The Land of Conjurors

Well, we really finished our relationship. I just wondering something that can last longer between us. Ha, what am I expecting? What can I really expect from him? I would like to fall in the waterfall and never get up. But it seems that I can hardly do that. Almost three years and I treat him with no sympathy in the end of the class. And yes, he will not care, will he? Ha, what a temper! Yes, I envy him who owns the ability to cast aside so many memories and so much of nostagia since I lack those traits. Still, I will miss him and all the memory in Taichung, where is the art and music of the city. English literature, oh, god, don't bring me to the sentimental way. But I really miss the class. Passera. Indeed, someone will leave, and sometimes this will gonna happen. To feel in the intoxicating moment, I wish I could immerse myself in the way it is. And will we meet again? I don't think it will be lucky. Just wish everything in Taichung can rewind so that I might cherish those m

I kind of feel satisfied now, but I do not know why. Perhaps I've just finished my Shakespeare exam and the most difficult task--- the paper of Contemporary Novel!!! Oh my goodness! I can't imagine that I've just finished it in three days. And these days, I was totally dried out and keenly delve into the meaning and techniques in reading postmodern novels. All of the things which contain the elements of postmodernism reveal a sense of danger and uncertainty. It sometimes makes you thrilled nontheless, to be honest. And sometimes you just wonder at the things you see that could be so experimented and owns the power of avand-guard! That's how it is. Haha. Basically, when reading the postmodern novels at first, you'll get lost in some ways. But it's a natural shock for most people who don't usually get touch with those materials. That's me, yeah~ hahaha. Well, that's when I get started reading Federman's Smiles on Washington Square . After having b

In today's speech, Linda Alper introduces the tone of the lines in Shakespeare's dramas. At the beginning, Linda lets us vividly see the royal and noble families from Hamlet by holding the playing card. I think that was also interesting since the players seemed to feel that they were the role while holding the cards. They somehow own the sense of identification in the process even though they need not to act out the drama. And I think it's really helpful for me to get involved in the emotion and the situation of the characters more quicker than merely reading the lines. In addition to that, I had learned the iambic pentameter in sophomore, and I used to watch people recite the poems on stage. Nevertheless, I feel the words between the lines are suddenly "alive" while reading them by me with the tone and feature of iambic pentameter in front of the public. Oh, that was really amazing when reading out loud! After that, Phaedra and I came back to the seats, and we pr

The precious moment You caught Has been suspending In your own time You rather sense it By the moment to be Expected for day dream In your own time The stain and scar On your face and body While no one around You think this is funny But you might not know That you have fallen Into a swamp In your own time And you just don't know why.

To find a treasure can be unaware of the consciousness led by a monitor That's when your knowing power loses in your mind and the chill wind suddenly blows me away til you change into the gental salute by the time my change have found Later your knowing power triggers the sudden smile you have and then you take me back to create another chemical drive After our sudden eye-to-eye no sooner have your footsteps begun than I seem to hear mine in accord with the sound of my heartbeat.

In the class on May 8th, Hamlet finally faces his own destiny, which is to revenge his father at last by competing the sword with Laertes. The queen, the king, Hamlet and Laertes all suffer the tragedy in the end. So sad. After the last scene, it seems that the revenge itself deserves no solution for the problem of the corruption in one nation. By the way, I'm quite interested in other works from Shakespeare. I think I'll get more interested in literature and Shakespeare's works. Actually I love to read some poems from Shakespeare and tries to know the meaning between the line, so I am glad that the teacher puts his sonnet on the screen so that we can understand more style and his talents in composing the love poems which have suffering but subtle emotional feeling expressed by a lady under his pen. Shakespeare stands the ground in a lady from lower class, revealing her helplessness and yearning to fall in love with the man but feels resentful for her status. Perhaps I am t

After the class, I've been thinking why Hamlet is so indecisive for go revenging his father. Perhaps it is his character, not easily led by other people and does not follow the stream. Hence, he blames himself for the deed and conscious in putting off the vengeance. To pretend mad is a capable action for Hamlet. Through this means, Hamlet not only learns and judges the truth behind the appearance but also examines his mind for revenging his father. Hamlet has revealed that all occasions seem to fight against him in Act 4, Scene 4; furthermore, he considers God gives us the power to reason but no reasoning power to the growing of one's corruption. At some point, Hamlet appreciates other prince or Laertes who can take his action and conduct their main purpose immediately; however, he also criticizes the consequence after the action and deed. I think Hamlet might struggle between these two sides and can hardly make his choices right away. Upon learning this, I don't think Haml
