Name- Imsurenla Priscilla JamirBooks read- When we dead awaken by Henrik Ibsen
- The Shagaround by Maggie Nevill
Hey hey.. these were some of the themes that i managed to extract from the book.. it was really interesting.. and kinda freaky as well.. loved it!!!
THEMES FROM ‘WHEN WE DEAD AWAKEN’
What it means to be happy. It’s different for all of us, and it changes as we mature.
How ones perspective of life changes. It can never stay the same, there are always things added, subtracted and moved down the ladder of importance.
The missed opportunities and how some people have the chance to get it back, while others don’t.
The impulsive decisions that we regret but at the same time cherish.
The sacrifices that we make, only to realize that it was to the wrong person or that the person did not appreciate it enough.
The different ways that one ‘lives’.
WE DON’T SEE WHAT WE HAVE UNTILL IT’S GONE.
We get carried away by things in life, only to realize that the promises made were empty ones.
Sometimes we do good deeds, but they go unnoticed, or even worse, misunderstood. They change us into people that we did not want to be, they change us for the worse. They break us.
Second chances exist. Although they might not be as promising as the 1st.
People don’t always get together because they love each other, sometimes it is because each is willing to be what the other wants and needs them to be. Sometimes they just need them to fill in that hole that has been made by others.
Sometimes things appear good in front of us only because we have seen worse
SECOND PLAY-------
THE SHAGAROUND.. ..
yeah.. the name says it all... it was a 'I hate guys, they suck' kind of play.. but i actually came to sympathize with the opposite gender!!!!:O This may seem like a very personal review btw..:D:D:D so get urself prepared..:P
Misunderstandings
They don’t tell each other what they want because they think the other will take it in the wrong way. If only they would talk!
If someone does it to you, it’s wrong. But if you do it to someone, its not.
People who share the same experiences tend to bond really well, and back each other up.
Being in love is now considered impossible.
Love is seen as a fashion, not an emotion.
It’s just not cool to fall in love and be open and confess it.
Now a days people say that love makes you weak, a ‘hopeless’ romantic is what they call it.
Women usually are scared that they will loose their freedom and then it will be really hard to get it back. They are scared that they will depend on men so much that they will just be lost when they don’t have a man. They are scared that that will make them look like the inferior, the weaker sex.
WOMEN DO NOT APPRECIATE EACH OTHER. Whether we like it or not, men will always be the 1st priority in a woman’s life, they crave for their love, affection and support. The only difference is that some women aren’t ashamed of admitting to it, while others don’t want to appear vulnerable. Girls say they have ‘girl power’. Yeah right. Well screw that! They say that they can do anything together, they will remain true to each other no matter what. When they are young they say that even when they find their ‘princes’, they will keep in touch. Well good luck with that cause that’s not how the real world works! We say that we have a special bond, something that only girls can understand. We bitch about the guys that have dumped us and the other people that we classify as sluts, we go shopping together, complain about how fat we get, call each other honey and darling cause its cool, it’s the trend. But when the ‘Prince’ enters our lives, what do we do? We say Asta Lavista girlfriends and hello boyfriend! Yeah, that’s the sad truth. We will SO NOT realize it when it happens, but it does. They slowly take second place in our lives. And then THE day comes, when we get dumped, or get to know he’s cheating on us, or we break up with him (rare). Now THAT is the day that we run back to our long lost friends, cry and bitching about the assholes that have dumped us, and how life is just so unfair and how you will never find a man, and just be independent! The 1st week we feel all bad, we regret the stuff that we have done wrong in the relationship, and we cry and brood over what has happened. And then the second week we realize that it was the assholes fault. So we bitch about him, we say we will be independent, we say we done need a man. We threaten and stab at him. And if a man comes along then, someone that you feel safe around, who listens to you bitch about your past relationship and who you think will always be there for the future, you date him then. I WONDER what happened to the ‘I will be independent, all men are jerks” pledge. And so then the whole cycle goes on again and again. But while that is going on, that annoying cycle, there are some that will always remain true to the pledge of independanthood, or maybe they just cant find a guy. Well the poor souls are left alone by themselves, no friend in sight who cares; they need someone to listen to them, to be beside them. One thing leads to another and a guy takes advantage of them. This is the ‘sad’ and unfortunate story of women. My my, don’t you pity them!
We are afraid and ashamed to be who we are sometimes because we are scared of what people will think of us as. We tend to bend towards the rules of society and what it says are the norms because we want to be cool, or normal. This leads to misunderstandings, fights and eventually heartbreaks. Those who do not abide by the rules of society get misunderstood, put down, looked down on and despised. WOW! What a world we live in!
YUP... so thats all i have for now.. i hope that follows some kind of format!!:P:P
