Things In The City
392 wordsThe Darkness of night, Awoken by the rays of morning. The bright light which everybody hates to look at, But can't live without. Suddenly the city comes alive; The traffic builds up. Congestion and Pollution Are just a couple of things that come to mind. And yet you hit a point where everything goes slow, And it is once again safe to cross the street. You can wait in a queue, And not have to breathe in the noxious fumes. You think what a blessing it would be to live in the countryside, No cars o...

1,039 wordsMark Anthony's 'Crypt of the Shadowking': A Fantasy Crypt of the Shadowking by Mark Anthony is a fantasy tale of the never ending struggle of good against evil.

City Of The End Of Things
1,810 wordsThe Work of Poet and Philosopher Archibald Lampman Poet and philosopher Archibald Lampman (1861-1899) led not a life of his own, but an existence forced upon him by peers and an unfeeling and cold society.

This essay is founded around one particular of his works but I feel it necessary to discuss the conditions in which he lived in order to fully understand what he was t...

Peter Carey
506 wordsA bridge too far 30 Days in Sydney Peter Carey Bloomsbury 9.99, pp 248 After a decade in New York, Peter Carey returned to Sydney for a month last year, intending, as he conquistadorially puts it, to 'make claim on the city'. The claim, of course, is imaginative, though Carey does eye some property at Bondi and wonder whether he should repatriate his family. As the plane descends, he cranes to see the harbour. Sydney, after all, can be usefully reduced to a single image: that stern, utilitarian ...

Weather, w...

Darwin Awards
538 wordsThe Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives: by eliminating themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chance of long-term survival.

Miville's World
920 wordsPossible swords The Scar China Miville 604 pp, Macmillan There is a certain unlovely pomposity about the use of one-line paragraphs. Look at me, the line says: I am so clever, or atmospheric, that it would be a waste to tack me on to the end of the previous sentence, where I might not get the reader's full attention. I deserve a whole paragraph of my own. The opening of The Scar is riddled with such preening. All through the first 40 pages or so you can hear the grunts of a writer straining too ...
