The hardest thing in the world is writing
there are so many rules it is very hard
dyslexia is forever fighting
the words are scrambled like a spinning card.
Guess what, if you can't read then you can't write
writing's the most essential subject too
and to read the words is a blinding light
forever fighting a battle with you.
Although tis hard I love to read my books
they are full of magic and even lies
I first read in third grade and got some looks
although it was very hard I did try.
If I can then maybe I can write
if I can write then I have won the fight.
Congratulate me....
ReplyDelete*SPOILERS ALERT: Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt-reveals ending for the film*
Congratulate me, I have finally finished Youth In Revolt by C.D.Payne! Finishing such a large book inspired me to treat myself to my favorite Hitchcock, Shadow Of A Doubt(1943-
Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten and Macdonald Carey). While I was watching the special features, Alfred Hitchcock was responding to a question about why Teresa Wright's character turned against her uncle, who had committed a series of horrible crimes, yet she him loved dearly. He quoted Oscar Wilde; "...each man kills the thing he loves..."
This hit me, and changed my point of view on Youth In Revolt almost completely. Instead of hating Nick Twisp for doing the stupid things he does for love, I understand that we all end up harming the thing we love most; either as dramatically as Nick Twisp to his family or as lightly as over talking to your friends about your new favorite band and then they ended up hating them. This seems very human, it has happened to me so often, maybe this is the objective of the novel. Perhaps the author C.D.Payne made Nick Twisp do the awful things he does to his family, to show the reader how we as humans affect our surroundings. To show how we SHOULD respect the things we love. Or even maybe Payne made N.Twisp do awful things and to ruin his own life, to show how we should appreciate our lives. The story of Nick Twisp will always puzzle me, and I fear I will never be able to fully appreciate the novel.
Have you ever killed something you love(metaphorically)?
AFTER THOUGHTS-yet another interpretation of Oscar Wilde's brilliance:
"...each man kills the thing he loves..."
Perhaps, the man who loves this thing the most has-almost-permission to end it, or kill it so to speak...Only because he knows so much and loves it so...Your thoughts?
