The Loner

The children were very lively and they set a bright mood. They got along well with one another disagreements did not last long. They always accepted each other’s differences. The children were always happy as they had friends to play with.

“Each in our familiar clique

We pass him by and never speak”

From this we can infer that they each had their own clique of children made up of the same familiar faces. Also I find that the children were a bit inconsiderate to have gossiped about the boy in low voices and from this line from the poem, “neither he nor we will yield”, we can tell that the children were reluctant to ask the little boy to join them when they were playing. Maybe if they had reached out to the boy, he wouldn’t have left mysteriously, without saying goodbye to any of them. We can tell that the children felt sad and were sentimental about the boy and his place on the playground wall from the line; “Someone had chalked ‘watch this space.’”.

My Review On My First Literature Lessons

My first literature lessons were more fun than I had expected. I had expected the teacher to introduce herself ,ask each of us to introduce ourselves and the whole lesson would be over by then. However, it was the total opposite. Our literature teacher just introduced herself to us and then immediately started the lessons. Also, it wasn't just a plain word document. It had cute pictures like Garfield to attract our attraction and our fist lesson was not about some character from a storybook but two very interesting characters who are none other than Batman and Joker from the movie The Dark Knight.
It is hard to believe that Joker had such a cruel past and that Batman would actually take so much power into his hands. No would ever know that Joker lost his family the same day he fell into a vat of chemicals and became the Joker unless he or she read up on him. Thanks to this lesson I'm still reading up on the Joker to find out more about his past.

Do You Sympathize For The Joker

Yes, I sympathize with the joker. There are many different stories to how the Joker came about. However, all of them include one significant event; the joker ‘falls into a vat of chemical waste’. He then emerges with bleached white skin, red lips, green hair and a permanent grin.

Most stories also state that Joker’s real name was Jack and that his ‘wife and unborn child have died in a household accident’ the same day he fell into the vat. These events, coupled with ‘many other misfortunes that day’, drove him ‘completely insane’, resulting in the birth of the Joker.. It is because of the Joker’s unfortunate past that caused him to be who he is now, which is why I sympathize for the Joker.
