The Christmas Murder - Must Read

This is the best you will always get here just read it all you must certainly learn something
As I grew up in a very small town where men still hoe the land and carry their burden on their head and back. I was once a king; a king to my kind. Though we were all owned; I ruled, just like my father before me. I am a descendant of the great Kwa, of the Kwa-dynasty. My name is Kwa-kio. I was one king with the largest brood in the whole of birdkind.

I had the most beautiful and great hens. If not for mankind, I would rule the world and nothing will stop me except my maker. At least that was what I thought; all I know now are faded dreams and stale memories of passions, of freedom, as I await the wrath of the human knife. The human knife: How would it feel? My friend Kuk has just been murdered. Though he was my friend for

Reading Novels Or Any Book Brooding Our Mind

This issue of reading is one thing that our youths never have in mind this days as mobile phone has taking over the place in our palms where some hand book suppose to occupy.
Now have it in mind that books are a kind of escapism, and since my childhood days they’ve got never let me down. Relatives and buddies have their usual dramas and also bad days, but cuddling up in bed on a rainy day using a good book in my hand never still did not lighten the gloominess.
We all know that reading fiction is elemental to our nature and addresses our profoundly primitive needs of achieving of which vital sense of belonging and aim of doing things. To say it is a “waste of time” and “impractical” has to be blatant insult to the sophisticated and romanticised minds in the authors behind these masterpieces. Jacqueline Wilson was my companion in doing my early childhood days and We consider every penny of my savings invested on her books to be funds well spent. As my mind and soul grew older I did start to appreciate the styles of

A Tale of Two Cities - The Preparation Chapter IV

A Tale of Two Cities
A story of the French Revolution

by Charles Dickens

 
 
Chapter IV

The Preparation

When the mail got successfully to Dover, in the course of the forenoon, the head drawer at the Royal George Hotel opened the coach-door as his custom was. He did it with some flourish of ceremony, for a mail journey from London in winter was an achievement to congratulate an adventurous traveller upon.
By that time, there was only one adventurous traveller left be congratulated: for the two others had been set down at their respective roadside destinations. The mildewy inside of the coach, with its damp and dirty straw, its disageeable smell, and its obscurity, was rather like a larger dog-kennel. Mr. Lorry, the passenger, shaking himself out of it in chains of straw, a tangle of shaggy wrapper, flapping hat, and muddy legs, was rather like a larger sort of dog.
"There will be a packet to Calais, tomorrow, drawer?"
"Yes, sir, if the weather holds and the wind sets tolerable fair. The tide will serve pretty nicely at about two in the afternoon, sir. Bed, sir?"
"I shall not go to bed till night; but I want a bedroom, and a barber."
"And then breakfast, sir? Yes, sir. That way, sir, if you please. Show Concord! Gentleman's valise and hot water to Concord. Pull off gentleman's boots in Concord. (You will find a fine sea-coal fire, sir.) Fetch barber to Concord. Stir about there, now, for Concord!"
The Concord bed-chamber being always assigned to a passenger by the mail, and passengers by the mail being always heavily wrapped up from head to foot, the room had the odd interest for the establishment of the Royal George, that although but one kind of man was seen to go into it, all kinds and varieties of men came out of it. Consequently, another drawer, and two porters, and several maids and the landlady, were all loitering by accident at various points of the road between the Concord and the coffee-room, when a gentleman of sixty, formally dressed in a brown suit of clothes, pretty well worn, but very well kept, with large square cuffs and large flaps to the pockets, passed along on his way to

A Tale of Two Cities - The Night Shadows Chapter III


A Tale of Two Cities
A story of the French Revolution

by Charles Dickens

 


Chapter III

The Night Shadows

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it! Something of the awfulness, even of Death itself, is referable to this. No more can I turn the leaves of this dear book that I loved, and vainly hope in time to read it all. No more can I look into the depths of this unfathomable water, wherein, as momentary lights glanced into it, I have had glimpses of buried treasure and other things submerged. It was appointed that the book should shut with a spring, for ever and for ever, when I had read but a page. It was appointed that the water should be locked in an eternal frost, when the light was playing on its surface, and I stood in ignorance on the shore. My friend is dead, my neighbour is dead, my love, the darling of my soul, is dead; it is the inexorable consolidation and perpetuation of the secret that was always in that individuality, and which I shall carry in mine to my life's end. In any of the burial-places of this city through which I pass, is there a sleeper more inscrutable than its busy inhabitants are, in their innermost personality, to me, or than I am to them?
As to this, his natural and not to be alienated inheritance, the messenger on

Analysis Of The Poem Titled The Panic Of Growing Older By Lenrie Peters

Read the analysis of this great poem below...

In the poem titled “The Panic Of Growing Older”,the poet, Dr Lenrie Peters seemed preoccupied by what can be considered as how some factors: Time, ambition, hope, etc affect the adult stage of human beings.
Lenrie Peters, took age 20 upwards as his case-study to show how the events of adulthood unfold. He revealed that a person begins adulthood with beautiful hopes:
“at twenty stilled by hope of gigantic success and exploration”. Ten years later, one has gained the achievement of
raising a family, one

busy in domesticity that won’t give room of seeing the moon, one begins to suffer emotional pains due

Estella Havisham has had it up to here with her son, Aaron. The 13-year-old YouTuber from Australia lied to his mom about doing his homework, and now he has to pay the price — literally. His royally irked off mom wrote him a note that delivers the toughest of love on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

“The child [Aaron] is going to have a rude awakening today after the words he exchanged with me last night,” Mama Havisham captioned the photo below on her Facebook.

“Not only will [h]e find this on the door, but his mattress stripped, and the toys and clothes that I bought confiscated.”

Aaron makes a “teeny tiny bit of money” off his YouTube vids according to his mom, but nowhere near enough to pay her back for covering 13 years of his life, obviously. (Meanwhile, all of us city dwellers are weeping at the beautiful $430 rent.)

A Tale of Two Cities A story of the French Revolution by Charles Dickens - Chapter II The Mail

Chapter II

The Mail

It was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday night late in November, before the first of the persons with whom this history has business. The Dover road lay, as to him, beyond the Dover mail, as it lumbered up Shooter's Hill. He walked up hill in the mire by the side of the mail, as the rest of the passengers did; not because they had the least relish for walking exercise, under the circumstances, but because the hill, and the harness, and the mud, and the mail, were all so heavy, that the horses had three times already come to a stop, besides once drawing the coach across the road, with the mutinous intent of taking it back to Blackheath. Reins and whip and coachman and guard, however, in combination, had read that article of war which forbade a purpose otherwise strongly in favour of the argument, that
