Random Lit. Crit. Question ~ The Sleeping Beauty Fairies

28 Jun

Random Question:

Have you every wondered what Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) would have been like had the fairies not given their birthday presents? Would she have been ugly, stupid, a horrible singer, nonspiritual, ungraceful, unmusical, and unhappy? Or were a couple of those wishes wasted on her? I suddenly had this mental image of wondering how she changed after their wishes. Was she a bald baby that suddenly grew a full head of hair? Were her teething cries suddenly full-on choreographed musical numbers? What was the REAL Aurora like?

Were these changes really any good for her?  Perhaps she would not have married Philip and enchanted the birds, but did she suddenly lose her original soulmate by no longer being likely to stumble into his path?  Or would Philip have fallen for her anyway?  Does this mean that Philip was really more shallow than we thought, if he needed a perfect princess to fall in love?  I mean, it’s no wonder he fell at first musical chord.  And if she lost her first soulmate (the one who loved the original her), does this mean she stole Philip’s soulmate?  The one that was made for him before the fairies changed Aurora’s life?

Other than saving her life, how did they change her future? And did her mother miss the original Aurora? Taking the story way too seriously, but that’s what you get with an English major. 🙂

Waiting in Silence

27 Jun

Random Literary Criticism Question. . . do you know what this poem is describing?

WAITING IN SILENCE

Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.

Always ever stomping, chest drum beating

Thudding up and down, up and down.

Heart forcing its way up and out.

 

Racing here. There. Back. There. Again.

Never closing, always opening. Wider, Wider.

Espying, Missing. Chasing, Searching, Seeking. There!

Eyes ever seeing what remains unseen.

 

HELP. Help. help. Shhh.

Choking. Stopping.  Breath intangible, concrete.

Words Spilling Out in Air. Hanging. Fading. Gone.

Voice Screaming whispered cries falling from speechless lips.

Art I Love ~ 07 Ghost

17 Jun

Anime produced by Studio DEEN, Original manga illustrated by Yuki Amemiya & Yukino Ichihara

Okay, this is technically an anime (07 Ghost), but I just generally love the artist’s work in the show.  Sometimes the animations can be poorly drawn, but this show is stunning.  The art kind of blows my mind.
