Post on a post to post for a post because we all post.

so, I have a post about a post to post. (is it just me or did that sound somewhat odd.) Anyway... I am posting about Corinna's blog post (here is a link! http://xt0ki.blogspot.com/2011/02/curious-incident-of-dog-in-night-time.html just copy and paste it, as I can't work this thing... I am not good with technology...) I want to make note about the way, and language which Corinna wrote her blog, it was compelling, and if I hadn't already read the book, I would really, want to read it, in fact, I think I want to read it again!

The main reason I am posting this is that I would like to go into some depth about the idea of the mother being at fault. Now I am not defending what she did, however I feel that if I had had a child with autism, I would have a hard time dealing with him/her - probably him as autism and aspergers syndrome which is what he has, there is an argument that aspergers is an high functioning form of autism, I find this possible but unlikely, as he displays symptoms which don't appear frequently in autism - like his want to communicate, though in high functioning autism this can appear as well... oh I just argued against myself didn't I... anyway, maybe it is I won't go any further into it... but back to the main topic

If you were a parent of a child like Christopher, you would love and cherish him but honestly could you handle him. My mother works with children with autism, and it is hard work, but fun, from what she says. But it must be stressful, and with some people, the stress could break them. That could happen, and does sometimes. Sometimes when stress like this occurs, the work can separate families.

Though I disagree with the mothers choice of action would you do better, look at yourself and say, could I go through that. And some will say yes, and some amazing saintlike people have, and should be greatly revered. Children with autism, are wonderful and unique. But I can't help feel some pity for the mother...
that's all...
so with a rather sad end to this post, I bid you all ado

The trilogy concludes

Now, for the third time, I have finished the Bartemaeus Trilogy.

I really do love this series for many reasons, but I would first like to make a sort of disclaimer; the rest of this blog post will have A LOT of spoilers, so as they say, reader beware

Now back to business at hand, I would like to say that when I first read this series, I noticed all the little details between the relationship between Kitty and Bartemaeus, and the death of the major djinn Farqual, Bartemaeus's long standing Arch-rival. I wold love to say I noticed all of the subtleties, however to say that would be lying.

However when reading the books over again, you could really examine the relationship between Nathanial And Bartemaeus. Nathanial seems to adore him through a curtain. He never releases the djinn, and I don't believe that Nathanial thought that Bartenaeus would reveal his true name. The two were always arguing, but I feel, again in some wierd complex way, that Bartemaeus was really Nathanials master. The noble, (not to mention sharp tongued) Djinn was always there for the boy even when Rathanial believed himself to truly be one of the gov't. Sadly though Bartemaeus's wise tutelage ended in nathanial makeing the same sacrifice Ptolemy made back in Alexandria, all those years ago.

Bartemaeus Trilogy

hello again here. I would like to speak about the Bartemaeus trilogy, an amazing series of boooks entirely devoted to many different stories, as in different characters

this is meant to, I feel, give an entierly whole perspective on the story, whith this entire perspective, I believe that the story is told from everyone's point of view, especially the pro/antagonist, Bartemaeus. he is an unlikely hero, one which turns out to feel more compassion towards magicians and, mostly Nathanial, I feel that this is sort of, in a wierd way a comming of age, not just for Nathanial, but for Bartemaeus, as he is the one who begins to soften and develop respect for everyone in the relm of our world.

I ALSO have come to notice the simplicity of the way the magicians speak as opposed to the way in which the djinn talk. They speak in a superior tone, which is an interesting dynamic, as if, the magicians have found the means to control one more powerful than himself or herself.

Who am I?

Who am I? Unknown, here, there, gone. unnoticed drifting throughout the terrors that live in our society. Beauty is so rare in life. We are fragile, broken by the slightest difference. Thought is powerful, I believe that we are never truly right, there is always a better explanation to be found. we must continue the search for the sake of the search, to occupy our time, to feel as though we are working towards accomplishment. Why do we do anything? To accomplish, to succeed, to love.
