Dewdrops Shattering Into Pieces

Nov 03, 2006 21:10

The following is the story that I wrote for my English Extension 1 HSC exam. Our module thingy is Texts and Ways of Thinking, and within that, we did Individual and Society, which focuses on the scientific, economic, religious and philosophical paradigms of the 19th century. So, really, it was half a history course and half a regular english ( Read more... )

Just beautiful; I love the depth to the character and of course it is one of my favourite poems. ♥

But - you haven't read the book? :O It's one of the best in the world!

Oh, but I have read it! And I giggled and gasped all the way through...but I prefer the miniseries - you can't get all those significant glances, and the dancing scenes, in the book.

OMG!!! This is fantastic. I love P&P, both book and the miniseries, and I really enjoyed the deeper look into one of the most interesting (miniseries especially) characters. Oh, the tragedy! And, the interweaving of the poem is genius!

Yay, I actually did well in this subject! Quite well! And I thought I'd blown it!

I'm so glad you liked it, I seriously wrote this like a week before the major exam, and memorized it the night before...and then, the question was absolutely perfect for it! Huzzah! I only the same could be said of other subjects...

Hehe, now I want to watch the miniseries...all six hours of it...Do you like Byron? Byron rocks.

I *adore* Byron! :)

I recently had a miniseries watching party. We're still going to get together and watch the other P&P movie versions (like the Mormon one - we've already done the Bollywood one).

And yay for doing unexpectedly well, too!

Excuse me, the Mormon one?? Is this one where Darcy already has ten wives?

So we'll go no more a-roving,
So late into the night,
Though our hearts be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

I was crazy about that poem for a while (as in, quote to friends and drive them insane crazy) and I still love it to bits.
