Does anyone have any book recommendations for my Alevel coursework. I was thinking about doing 'crime and punishment' or 'Iron widow' but I have no clue what to compare either of them with.

Journalists trying to spin quotes into something they’re not in order to create drama? No way. They wouldn’t do that, right?

Or Daniel was making a joke because obviously Max won’t care. Lando made a joke, he didn’t threaten Max 😭 These two are still friends. Friends joke about even if they are fighting against one another for victory.

The media LOVE benefiting off of whatever drama they can twist. Even if Max didn’t like Lando saying that, saying that Daniel sent Lando a ‘warning’ conveys a negative message. That’s exactly what they want.

[Image description: A digital drawing of a shot from the film La semana del asesino. It shows three hands holding a pair of binoculars. The hands belong to the characters Marcos and Néstor, although it is unclear which hand belongs to who, as they are indiscernible from one another in size and colour. One hand cups the bottom, and two hold onto either side. You can see the beginning of both of their shoulders, with Marcos' shoulder on the right and Néstor's on the left. There is a vague suggestion of a room in the background, with panelling and curtains. The lineart is a dark blue, and has very pronounced shadows. The colours for each element do not have any shading or lighting outside of this, except for the gleam on the binoculars. The colour scheme is desaturated and cold, mostly comprising of blues with small sections of yellows or even orange (for the binoculars' strap).]

It's Halloween, which means it's time to consider the haunted house implications of Fallingford,,, I know it's NOT but yes I consider Arsenic For Tea a gothic novel

Daisy and Bertie are never out of that house, they never get out, Fallingford will always follow like a whisper, one step behind. They can't dig up their roots, their growing up at Fallingford, without doing damage to themselves...

The whole thing about everyone being freaked out by the fact Mr Curtis was being left in a room to rot, like Daisy and Bertie weren't already experiencing an emotional rotting of sorts being in that house, like gone off food of some sort,,, and then the whole idea of the tea party, Lady Wells trying to cling onto when Daisy was little so she can't see how Daisy how's changed to something she doesn't want or recognise (she even forgot how old Daisy was turning)

The entire way through the novel, (for me personally) something felt off, with the illusions of grandeur hiding secrets in plain sight, alongside the fact that even the murder was committed in front of everyone,,,

The entire book felt exactly like the sentiment 'if walls could talk'... the overlap between ideas of your classical haunted house, compared with being haunted by rumours/secrets,,, the whole combination of these with the idea of a curse (something actually scary, a concept used in spooky media, but also knowing it relies on words to work)

Also just the fact 'fall' is in the name, like ofc they was gonna be a destined fall from grace it's in the name of the house!!!

Idk if this is coherent thoughts but I hope I get my point across???

listening to the ivantill version of my clematis and i cannot stop thinking about the difference in the way ivan and mizi deliver the 'my god, my universe' line.... mizi declares it like a revelation (handed to her from her only god) ivan whispers it like a secret (to be kept hidden from his only god)

Currently so glad i have the English school system purely for alevel physics because things are so cool

[very-uncorrect]

So I've been off for 3 days in a row (flu got me bad) and this is something that happened today, the day I finally got back to school

One of my English teachers whilst picking up a school book: by the way, Sarah, I wanted to talk to you about something

Me, thinking it's gonna be about the work I missed: oh sur-

Teacher: this opinion journalism homework you did was absolutely phenomenal, it's almost completely flawless and I was wondering if I could use it as an example of good essay writing for other students if you don't mind

Me, completely taken back:

(it was supposed to be 5k but my horny soul was handcrafting the porn like a carpenter and kept adding new scenes. that, combined with shakespearean levels of flowery language, did not bode well for the word count. oh and also i was making a work skin and couldn't decide on fonts/colours 😭)
