“She uses a variety of techniques to meet her purposes of inform and describe. For example, she uses superlatives such as ‘most’ and pre-modifiers such as ‘bold and emotional’ to convey her emotions and to show her explicit bias towards the situation. Proper nouns such as ‘Charles, Earl Spencer’, help to inform her audience, but she also uses third person pronouns such as ‘he’ and ‘his’ to avoid repetition. In one of the sentences she describes the day as ‘bright and sparkling’, this contrasts with the mood of the day and does not reflect pathetic fallacy…” – Thanks, Tom.

I’ve decided to return to blogging. I don’t know how well it’s going to go, but we’ll see. I’ve finished school, I have time, and I feel good. Maybe I’ll start taking pictures again. I do however leave for France on Monday, so there may be three weeks of silence. I’ll have plenty to share with you when I come home, I’m sure.

I’m so happy to be going back to France this summer. With a few friends, we’ll be starting in the South and travelling North, probably by train, exploring as we go. We’ll finish with Paris for a few days. Does anyone have any ideas as to where we could go, that is accessible by train or bus? I can’t wait.

I seem to be suffering from a serious lack of inspiration at this moment, so I have resorted to rooting through my old photos. About the only thing I found of any interest was this:

I found the Eiffel Tower a bit of a let down really, although the view from the top was pretty spectacular; we went up in the dark. It was horribly busy, and I certainly wouldn’t visit again, but at least I’ve done it once, I suppose. I do quite like this photo though. 

Ps. This blog is now getting blocked on the college computers! How ridiculous. I might have to go through my posts and remove any suspect words… =|
