A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. In simpler terms, a metaphor compares two objects or things without using the words "like" or "as".</div>

And since I created this blog initially for my literature class, (and in the end was never used. Haha.) I think I'll just stick to the theme. Perhaps this is a better place for me to express my feelings as compared to FB. Here's the latest poem written today.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Angry.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Does it really matter?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Is it worth the trouble?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Seems a hopeless situation,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>A road leading nowhere.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Shattered,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Trampled Upon,</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Excommunicated.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Response? Forgive...forgive.</b></span><br />

Such a beautiful poem. I almost cried after hearing my lecturer recite it. It's not every day that I come across writings that stir my emotions so greatly. The poet's expression for his nation is truly inspiring. "I am England" was what he was saying. I don't suppose many of us have a passion so great for our country so much so that we are able to say that, but I do desire that one day, I'd be able to say it from the core of my heart that "I am Malaysia"<br /><br />The Soldier by Rupert Brooke<br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, helvetica;font-size:85%;">If I should die, think only this of me:<br /> That there's some corner of a foreign field<br />That is for ever England. There shall be<br /> In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;<br />A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,<br /> Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,<br />A body of England's, breathing English air,<br /> Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.<br /></span><p> <span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, helvetica;font-size:85%;">And think, this heart, all evil shed away,<br /> A pulse in the eternal mind, no less<br /> Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;<br />Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;<br /> And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,<br /> In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.<br /></span></p><p> <span style="font-family:verdana, geneva, helvetica;font-size:85%;">Rupert Brooke, 1914</span></p>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08002812799987849776noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320679526829396897.post-46936557413348704472009-12-17T21:01:00.000+08:002009-12-22T20:56:13.455+08:00Liz has a blog!<span style="font-family:arial;">The main reason I decided to start a blog is because my literature lecturer has requested that everyone taking his class do so. No, I'm not complaining. I'm merely stating the reason why I suddenly made this decision. After all, I'd like to do well for this class *smiles* But yeah, I've been thinking of starting a blog for quite sometime now. After much procrastination, I guess I'm "forced" to do so, all for a good cause, I believe. And I look forward to writing more posts in the future. I can just imagine what my friends would be saying.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Friends: You finally started a blog!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Me: *Nods* Yes, yes I have.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">And now you have it.
