#367BritLit well this was a great turn of events...

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit Okwe and Senay are the most moral and compassionate characters in this movie full of corrupt and disgusting people yet they are the ones treated like garbage

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit Okwe really is an angel, talking Senay out of her organ harvesting and giving her a safe place to stay

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit hoping for a safe escape for senay, but have a bad feeling its not going to happen like that

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit the music sounding like a heart racing is a great touch

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit If we had no context, the way the enforcement officers are acting would make you think they were searching for violent criminals

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit I just realized the actress of Senay is "Amelie"

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit Right now we can clearly see the struggle Okwe deals with with presumably being an immigrant and having to choose between following his morals and reporting a crime or keeping his life and job safe.

#367BritLit Something that surprised me most in a text this year was every story of the bloody chamber. The snow child and bloody chamber especially. Such brutal takes on what I originally knew as childerns stories

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

-of others that are present in the text

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit My essay is focusing on intertextuality and what the meaning of the inner texts/references in Never Let Me Go could mean for the themes, their world, and the characters, especially with the limited world view of these characters. The effect of the voices/influences-

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit “Combination of mathematics and….poetry! The two great realms of imagination!”

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit Th: I am very interested in the differences between characters of Lovelace/Babbage and George as a demonstration of difference between logic vs creativity, math vs literature

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit “A new, a vast, and a powerful language is developed for the future use of analysis, in which to wield its truths! Almost a…poetical science.” -Ada Lovelace. I love that this version of Ada could find her perfect balance between science and creativity

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit I think Barry’s ending was a happy one on the surface but really looking at it, I feel it does have tinges of regret and worry for the time he’s lost

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

These books sharing this theme in common being loverman, never let me go, etc

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit TH: A theme that has been similar across our reading have been “why do we stay in situations that make us unsatisfied and sad?”and it’s worth exploring the characters/stories that follow this and how often we do this in real life? This is something that upsets us-

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

-in our books, but may be more prevalent in ourselves than we may realize

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

-that I've never read much of before. The stories of the older generation are just rarely written/read

[Gaby Taylor @GabyTaylorEng]

#367BritLit "This is what happens when 75 percent of your life is in the past. Each step forward triggers a step backward. All of these memories haunting me but they are also the making of me," this novel deals with SO MUCH insight to the experiences and thoughts of older people-
