Week Four... Um it's Wednesday.

Jealousy of others, feeling of competition - but I should be glad that there are so many capable people in this world...

The Leeds Animation Workshop sounds awesome. It is discussed in Chapter 10 of Fires were Started. I want to see some of the films, like Hairdresser? I Mean Astrosphicist, Alice in Wasteland, Who Needs Nurseries? We Do!

Today in Jane Austen we talked about Persuasion, how it is more elegiac, dark, and unforgiving than Jane Austen's other novels. The heroine is now past her bloom, mature; her love interest doesn't show his feelings and is in a precarious economic situation when he proposes to her, thus forcing her to reject him. The book focuses on the past a lot, and her regret and longing for her lost love. The ending also talks about keeping faith and being loyal even when love is lost.
