The Lure of the sea:

Drawning in a calm sea

The voice of the sea is seductive, never

ceasing, whispering, clamoring,

murmuring, inviting the soul to

wander in abysses of solitude

                                        Kate Chopin,

                          The Awakening (1899)

  

Kathe Chopin in her poem turns the  Sea into a prestigious hypnotist. 
Initially he catches us in his delightful and seductive arms but, when/if we realise that his hug is not vigorous, it's too late.
The image of the sea at first it's hypnotic and mesmerizing; it's such as if the sea is pleading readers to go in this calm and quiet water.
And even without noticing it, we are drawn in the abysses of an oppressive and distressing solitude and it's difficult to return at shore. 

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

The first feeling that you have when you read this poem is a sense of mystery associate at a little bit of scary.
There’s no progression in the text, nothing happened but you seem hypnotized by the iambic tetrameter.
Death and depression are the topics of the poem. It seems like that the only way to be happy is to pass away that it’s stay in this snowy and comfortable woods .
There are two way that the protagonist can keep: he can decide to pretend to live in the civilized world or to stay in the woods and throw away all of his problems.
Death is often described with a negative sense but it isn’t always like that. He can be fascinating and stay in his harms can be like staying in the womb*. The snow is like the maternal warmth *² : comfortable and warm. At a first impact you think that snow is freezing and cold but in this poem it appear warm and it gives a sense of protection.
Some words belong to two different contents; In the image that I created I have underlined some words in two dissimilar colors: the red ones belong to the content of the Nature and the blue ones belong to the Civilization’s content. The author gives horse possibility of thinking so I decided to put the animal in the Civilization’s content.
I found an incoherent passage in which the protagonist describes a quite landscape *³ but at the same time he says that he heard the sound of the harness bells. These last, returning to the context “maternal warmth”, are like the muffled sounds that we suspect that a baby hear when he’s in the womb.
I think that the last phrase of the poem save us from Death. We have some responsibilities about some people that depend of us.
Now I report you some worlds of a song:

“I shot for the sky,

I’m stuck on the ground

so why do I try?

I Know I’m gonna fall down.”

I recommended you to listen Down by Jason Walker while you read the poem because I think that its lyrics could be a possible interpretation of protagonist’s thoughts.
Hope you liked my report,
à la prochaine,
bye =)

Lost in the woods

It was a pitch dark Saturday night when Annabelle invited my friends and I to pass a weekend in her house in the woods. We got into Andrew’s car and we make for Anna’s home. The fact that the fog was thick didn’t help us to see over the windshield.
“Why can’t we go on foot to Anna’s?” I proposed a little bit afraid for our safety.
“You reason like a toll, Sam! Are you mad?” said Jules with an air of “I know everything”. She always liked to be in the centre of the attention.
“I think that Sam is in right” supported me Andrew, my best friend “It’s more dangerous if we carry on with the car, I can’t see anything !” so he stopped his car on the side of the street.
“Why are you stopping the car here? I won’t go in the woods on foot. I’m dressing my new pair of high-heeled shoes!!” complained Jules, like a five years hold kid.
“If you want to go on car, here the key!” said Andrew following me.
“Where are you going? Dou you real want to leave me alone?” said Jules out loud.
Lost my patience, I made blander: “If you want to came with us I wouldn’t put a spoke on your wheel.”
So I took my bag from the bonnet and I advanced into the woods.
“Here it is.” Andrew gave to me a torch. I thanked him.
After a while I heard a gloomy and scary sound. I kept looking about myself to watch if there was someone behind us. I pointed the torch in every direction and finally I found Jules holding a map.
“We thought that you were caught by the aliens!” joked Andrew.
“Ah-ah” said Jules not very amused . “I just don’t want to be alone!” continued her. So she started to explain us where it was Annabelle’s house.
At a certain moment , Andrew shouted : “I didn’t know that you have the power to read a map in the opposite sense!”
“Are you joking? It seems that we are lost?” I pulled away the map from Jules’s hands.
“Excuse me, guys!” she said. Jules took her pink shiny phone.
“Hell, there’s no signal!”
“Well done: we are lost in the middle of the woods and the telephone have no signal! We can only hope that someone will find us.” Told Andrew , a little bit nervous. A blast of wind hit me and, at the same time, I heard a howling of a wolf .
I immediately trembled but I didn’t know if I did that ‘cause I was afraid or for the low temperature.
Andrew hold my hand to take me heart. He is a good friend, in fact I appreciated his deed.
“I think that with your shoes we can strike a fire. Are you agree with me , Sam?” I nodded with an ironical expression ‘cause he tried to make me laugh.
“Don’t touch my shoes!!” said Jules afraid for her little babies.
Suddenly a strange figure approached us . The fog wound it with an halo of mystery.
In a first moment I thought that it was a ghost but, when Jules pointed her torch in the point in which there was the figure, we noticed that the ghost was Annabelle. I sighed ‘cause I was really happy to see her, so I hugged her.
“What are you doing here, guys? I’m waiting for you since nine o’clock!” she said.
“We’ll explained to you what was happening in this hour but now, please, could you bring us home?”


to be continue XD ...

Presentation

Hello everyone ;D

What's my name? That is not important, but if you want, you can call me "Clo"!

I'm a teenager and I live in Bari,Southern Italy.

I like my city because is near the beach and because temperatures are not inconstant like in Belgium -this is the city in wich my uncles live, so you can understand that I speak not only Italian but also French!- .

I like to swim, sing and read. Another passion is the make-up.

I like to associate every kind of colors from "mats" to "brilliants".

I'm quite good to modified photos with "photoshop" and I even like to create photomontages of celebrities.

Another thing that you must know about my self is that I love music and my favourite song is: ♫  Bloodstream, by Stateless  ♪.
Vampires are my obsession. I'm addicted by vampires LoL . I think that one day, just for the fact that I like them so much, I will become one of them .Of course I joke!

In this blog I will post some spoilers about my favourite Tv-program "The Vampire Diaries", some news about "Delena" - this word means the couple "DamonxElena", my favourite Pairing in TVD -, and other things like reviews of books or one-shots that I like the most.

Than, if you are a Vampire or if you just want to ask me some questions about myself or my blog, send me a message -
here my e-mail : delena.lovesucks@gmail.com

Bloody kiss,

Clo <3.

P.s. In the title of my blog I wrote "Love sucks" not because I really think so, but 'cause is the second title of "TVD".
