World of words for vision

Seeing the world through attachments. There are no true images possible to be seen—they are too unreliable, too broad, too vast to comprehend in all the variations and forms they take.

I only see solace in words and their denotative meaning. This lamp on the street has a visual base with hundreds of blocks spelling "l-a-m-p" holding up its form, embellished and glued together with its descriptors—I see "r-u-s-t" interspersed throughout its entire frame, I see "b-a-s-e" where it meets the "f-l-o-o-r", which pulses between states of "p-a-v-e-m-e-n-t" and if you look closer, "t-i-l-e", with a blob of what looks like "c-h-e-w-i-n-g-g-u-m" covered in "d-r-y", and "c-r-u-s-t", for some reason.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́] or [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity. Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.
