Uninteresting Taste Of Life

  Fig. 1. Henri Edmond-Cross, Before The Storm, The Bather, painting, 1856 Shivering, cold sweat, I feel so dead, why am I even still here and breathing? all I could hear is my mom's sobs, probably my dad staring dead at me. For days, months and now years, I could hear but I can't move a thing, but I know for sure every night I am always shivering, it feels awful yet so warm, but my cold sweats seem to ruin it all. Sometimes I can hear a very familiar heavy breaths around me, I can't feel anything but I can hear it, at night when I started to shiver, the heavy breaths would stop and I would be able to continue to sleep.       The last memory of me actually seeing things was few years ago, I have lost counts, but I was 15, my long hair was reaching my waist but it was so hard to maintain, I've been convincing my mom to cut it but my family was so against it. As a way to protest, I never tie my hair, so people around will feel bothered so much and those words "jus...

Fig. 1. Henri-Edmond Cross, " Beach at Cabasson ", painting, 1892 I hate having dreams, unless they're good ones of course. Most of the times, it is just abstract and nightmares, and if I'm that superstitious, I would say, some things may easily communicate with me through the dreams. If I'm also that believer to a science, I would say, my daily activities have been too overwhelming, my brain could not stop working even when I'm sleeping (it is a fact indeed). Enough blabbering, my good copings for years have been writing, lots of writing, mostly fiction, but right now I want to write something that has happened within my head while I was unconscious. I need to give context of course, I have been working non stop for the last few months, it is my second job since before I've had my bachelor graduation. This time, involves documents and lots of relearning that I have to do with the 9th edition of the MLA citation style, the media literacy, and academic inte...

Before I start, this is my first post about prereading until review, which means this post is an ongoing process that may take months to finish. We need to align our mutual understanding of "preread". The word "preread" in this context refers to informal resource specifically novels (fiction books for upper primary level of students until elder). From what I've gathered, preread means skimming the whole main points of the book, not the story, could be the title, cover, chapters and allow the reader to predict what kind of story or whether they would take the time to read it or not. The previous definition of preread is a combination of Richard Nordquist 's (2019) explanation of what a preread is and my point of view as a reader and how I'm gonna write down the preread of the novel I'm going to talk about in this post. So this is not an academic prereading, one that I must emphasize to let no further misunderstanding or disappointment from fellow read...
