Faulkner’s stream of consciousness writing style traverses the perspectives of 15 characters over 59 chapters. “As I Lay Dying” is a gothic novel that is consistently ranked among the best books of the 20th century. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped (its) shells, were destroyed by the war.” “This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. “All Quiet on the Western Front” masterfully tells the story of German soldiers’ distress and isolation while in the trenches during World War I. Masters’ ‘Spoon River Anthology’ shows the human soul’s complexity through grave markers, describing joy, sorrow, kindness and evil.Īll Quiet on the Western Front (1929) – Erich Maria Remarque Free-verse poetry, especially shorter poems, are enjoyable and easy to read. “Spoon River Anthology” is a collection of short free-verse poems, which are epitaphs in the graveyard of the fictional town Spoon River. ![]() She’s also very mindful to always have 1+ the number of bowls and toys so I don’t feel the need to guard my toys as much (like having 3 food bowls for 2 cats, 4 toys for 3 cats etc).Spoon River Anthology (1915) – Edgar Lee Masters Ruby’s taught me lots of fun games when she has to take things away! She says to never take things away from the mouth or paws of a dog or cat! Which I agree with- if it’s mine DO NOT TOUCH. Similar to those gross dogs, everything is or should be my possession, and I will smack you or try to bite if try to you take things away from me. Some dogs guard bedrooms, food, toys, front doors, gates, couches and even the attention of their guardians. When I am not in a food coma or having my beauty sleep, I join Ruby for her online training and hear her talk about those stinky dogs and their behaviours. Ruby told me that this behaviour is actually called resource guarding, that cats and even those nasty dogs do it! She’s helped many dogs who resource guard in-person and with online training- in Canada, USA, Thailand and across China. If I’m feeling lenient I’ll let them stay for a few minutes, until my fluffy patience hour-glass has timed out, and I’ll give them a smack and a headlock to get them off my bird watching throne … ahem space! Sometimes Marmalade or Patches join me at my bird hunting post, but when they do I like to give them a smack or two or more over the head - this bird watching space is reserved just for me. On top of those torturous magpies and geese, I wasn’t at all impressed with Calgary’s spring- like where in the world does it snow in the middle of April?!?!?! Sometimes when I sit at my bird watching post, I get snow flying in through the screen window! The gall of those snowflakes to even touch my fluffy fur! ![]() It takes a lot of deep sleep to look this good and fluffy!Īfter I’ve finished my 2am chase-athon with the other two (lesser) felines in the house- Marmalade and Patches- I am often disturbed by the second most horrible birds in the world- MAGPIES- chattering away at 5am!! Don’t these birds know that all cats need to have AT LEAST 12 to 16 hours of sleep a day!! Seriously birds! Stop your tweeting! Those damn geese ALWAYS honk NON-STOP when flying past or at 1am when they seem to have a goose convention! Like what the h*ll do they have to honk about at 1am? Always interrupting my beauty sleep, those evil f*ckers. Those zippy little finches wouldn’t zip anymore and those robins well… they look nice and juicy!!! ![]() If my looks could kill, all of the birds that fly past me would be dead. With spring arriving, I’ve been mostly at my bird watching post by the window. Spark’s notes are the monthly life of me, the most handsome and meowy ginger cat. Everyday should be dedicated to me, but for the moment this will do. After so many people meeting me, it has been decided that I will have a monthly blog on WFA. ![]()
