I was happily painting my fish in art class and just when I had gotten them to look vaguely like the ones in the reference photo, my art teacher came and slathered them in blinding white. Really, WHAT?! I have no idea what he's doing. He practically painted over all my painstaking shading and OUTLINED THE FISHES SO THEY LOOKED LIKE FREAKING CARTOONS. Seriously? I spent hours on the bloody thing and he covered it all up. And he didn't even bother to blend the paints properly! I can still see the obvious brushstrokes there. It really irks me for some reason. and he painted the sky with freaking cartoon clouds. Like the big fluffy cumulus ones when in the picture it's only stratus? The whole picture is like his style already, not mine. and the first fish's head, which I was really proud of by the way, he painted one whole side pure white. what the heck. grrr. my poor fishes. You can hardly even tell where I painted now. .... Sorry, I needed to get that out of my system. and one more thing: Okay, so I like Joseph Strorm, and might end up sympathizing with him and failing lit. Well, so what? I can turn their own teaching back on them. Nothing is absolute, right? At least that's what my teacher said. So how can we be sure that Joseph Strorm is evil, being the antagonist? What if he's just a poor little boy brainwashed by his father? A pitiful character abused by the author to become the villain in the book hhhhhh! While Joseph is in all the interesting scenes (seriously, who cares whether Petra can send though-pictures of droopy fishes?) David hogs all the boring ones. Rather, the boring ones are caused by him. Stupid David. Sophie can kick your ass any day. And PETRA. You are seriously damn extra can? Why don't you just... go drown in the river or something. Then everyone can be happy and get on with life. Except for mopey David. And who cares about him? Also, David is the one who caused Sophie to be exposed in the first place. If he didn't tempt her so that she would take off her shoes and play in the river, she wouldn't have been exposed! It's like cooking pork in front of a muslim everyday and mixing it in their favourite dish. then when they eat the thing, they get banished. He should be respectful and considerate towards other people's differences! Stupid kid. Sure he feels guilty but that was only after he was a pansy and blubbed about where she went and then cried a river of tears. Whatever, David. I do not care for you. John Wyndham, you have a cool last name (like winding ham) but still, couldn't you have chosen a better protagonist? Or at least given us more of characters like Sophie. ... I'm going to do something with my life. |
