6/8/2023 0 Comments Broken Knight by L.J. ShenWith every word I read, it was as if a ton bricks were laid upon my chest. “I died a thousand deaths before I inflicted the slightest of pain on your beautiful, tarnished heart.”Ĭompletely wrecked. Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy. When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.īut Luna is not who she used to be. Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants-namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language. Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending. Not all love stories are written the same way. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Social Butterfly PR in exchange for an honest review. 6/7/2023 0 Comments Wordsworth the prelude book 1In it, we have the faithful record of his inner life and emotional experiences enabling us to have a glimpse of the innermost recesses of the poet’s soul. The study discovers that The Prelude is not an autobiography in the usual sense from the holy pen of the high priest of nature. Through analytical study, this paper tries to shed some light on the autobiographical elements in the poem, and to show how the poem outlines the growth of the poet’s mind throughout the different stages of his life. The poem indicates that the autobiographer projects himself in his own literary work and renders his psyche, truthfully and realistically. The poem is considered as the longest, noblest and most fruitful illustration of the spiritual frugality of Wordsworth and a handsome anticipation of the modern concept of autobiography. The aim of this paper is to examine Wordsworth’s poem The Prelude in the sense of being autobiographical.
