"I'm leaving"

Here is my second coursework piece I have written for English Language Coursework. Enjoy!

I’m Leaving

You did it. You. With your perfect figure. Perfect skin. How could you? He was mine you bitch! First, you took him away. You. The one I trusted. The one I cared for when you were down. You were my priority. We had been friends for so long. I hate how much control you had over me! But this is where it ends. You’ve gone too far. I’ve had enough of your games and your mind twisting ways. That’s it now. I’m leaving.

The torment you gave me will not leave my mind. I hate you.  How could you be so cruel? You took everything away from me. My friends, my social life, my life full stop. My parents are ill from worry because of you. They think I’m going to harm myself like last time. That was because of you too. Why?! Why would you torment me so much that I hurt myself? Why would you destroy my chances of being popular, of starting again? You’re cruel, mean and selfish, bitch. I’m leaving.

I started this school hopeful. I wanted a fresh new start. I wanted new friends, but keeping the old ones of course. I would have dropped you in an instant if I could have seen what would happen. It sounds cruel but you’re worse. I should have known from the start you weren’t right in the head. I should have known you were gonna cause trouble. Nevertheless you got on so well with the popular kids and I wanted to be a part of that. I felt left out when you were around. I was always in your shadow. I was always laughed at. Mostly it was because of you. Meek, shy, quiet little me. The mouse. I’ve had enough. I’m making a stand. I’m leaving.

How could you do that to me? I know why you moved schools, how could you hurt someone like that? Not only that, but it happened multiple times! Nobody does that unless they have lost they’re mind. And you definitely have, you crazy cow. I hate how you cruel you are; how cruel you have been. You refused to do it this time, so you used me. You took me out of my new wrapper, used me and chucked me away when you were done. You made me. I’m leaving.

I could have never done that myself but you were so pushy. You put that knife in my hand. I remember the gleam of the knife, I remember the blue flashing lights, and I remember the screams. You were in my head. Why do you torment me? I would never have hurt anybody until you came along. You fed my mind with lies and anger to then deny it all. That-well-that pissed me off. I’m glad you’re in pain. You can feel the torment I had when you made me do it. I simply can’t believe you! I’m leaving.

I see now who you truly are. I see now what you’ve come to be like. I know. Have fun with your fake life. Your fake friends: your fake face. You can go and live in a gutter for all I care. I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. You’re a bitch. You’re a liar. I hate you. You did it. Remember that. You ruined my chances. I have new friends who like me as I am. Who have fun and are truthful to me. They don’t lie. They don’t make me feel guilty. And most of all, they’re my friends, and they care that I’m leaving. You ruined our friendship. You did it. Remember that. I’m leaving.

I’m leaving and never coming back. My parents have found me a place to stay. It’ll be safe and away from manipulative, two-faced bitches like you. They’re kind there apparently. They don’t make people torture others, they don’t make them kill and they certainly don’t blame it on the one being tormented!  I’m glad I’m moving away. I get to wear a nice, clean white uniform. I get a comfy bed in my own room. Even the walls are clean, white and soft. It sounds like a lovely place and I’m looking forward to making some new friends there, although, not many students go to this place apparently. Another bonus is there will be a smaller chance of fights because apparently we are watched most of the time. I certainly hope they don’t breathe down my neck all the time like you did. You controlling, scheming tyrant. I’m going now, leaving this wretched place to somewhere that’s quiet and peaceful. It’s a beautiful place with fences around it to keep out the criminals; to keep out people like you. Good bye, my lost friend. Good bye, my tormentor. I will not miss your oppressing ways. I’m leaving.

Jack Petchey Awards Ceremony

Jack Petchey Awards

This weekend I am part of the 114 Squadron Marching Band who are opening up the Jack Petchey Awards Evening with the ATC.

Now you're probably wondering what on earth am I talking about? What is a 'Jack Petchey Award'?

Here's a little information on this award...........see this website for more details:

http://www.jackpetcheyfoundation.org.uk/

Established in 1999, The Jack Petchey Foundation gives grants to programmes and projects that benefit young people aged 11-25.
The Foundation exists to raise the aspirations of young people, to help them take advantage of opportunities and play a full part in society.

The major focus of their work is the Achievement Award Scheme - you can read about this along with their other programmes in the 'Major Programmes' tab.

The Foundation focuses on London and Essex.

Jack Petchey

Jack Petchey is one of the UK's most successful businessmen. Born in East London in July 1925, Jack came from a working class background with very few advantages. From an early age he showed the entrepreneurial skills that have aided his success.

In 1937 a 12-year-old Jack was prosecuted at East Ham Magistrates Court for working under age. The prosecution evidence was that Jack was carrying vegetables, i.e. tomatoes, the defence being that tomatoes were a fruit - not a vegetable. The case was dismissed!

 For more information please visit the Jack Petchey website for more information on this award and how to be a part of it.

Thanks go to The Jack Petchey Award Foundation for their information and use of their website.

Valentine's Day!

14th February....why does that ring a bell?

oh yeah....cus it's Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!!

You're probably still full from all those pancakes you had the other day but... I hope you all have a lovely and romantic day, be it with your partner, your cat or with a big bowl of ice cream...

Some history about this lovely day for ya.....



              On February 14 around the year 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome in the days of Emperor Claudius II, was executed.

              Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was involved in many unpopular and bloody campaigns. The emperor had to maintain a strong army, but was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. Claudius believed that Roman men were unwilling to join the army because of their strong attachment to their wives and families.

               To get rid of the problem, Claudius banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.
               Legend also has it that while in jail, St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine."

         For his great service, Valentine was named a saint after his death.

Thanks to History.com for the information! :D

 

Now you all know where St Valentine's Day came from...

Graphological Features

This post is focused on the graphological features of each source pictured. If you have any comments or points please comment below :)

Source One

This source uses a large number 6 to emphasise that this is only the amount of myths the audience needs to know, this is in a clear brightly coloured font to make it stand out from the rest of the article and draw the audience's eye to it. The writing next to it is in a large font which if the audience's eye is drawn to it, explains what the article is about in a brief sentence. The subheadings are in a smaller font but bolder and larger than the main body of text which is clear and easy to read in a black font on a white background.

Source Two

This source has a picture that takes up half of the page therefore drawing the audience's attention to it. It also has a bright blue arrow on a greyish background making it stand out and saying to the reader that this image relates to this text. The audience are then told what this article is about by the large bold writing which is in a plain black font. Then there is extra information under the title in bright red font, therefore letting them know that it is an important piece of information. In the bottom right hand corner of the image there is a small paragraph in white font to allow it to stand out from the rest of the picture and to give, in short, what the picture is about.

I've just put up a visitor counter so I am keeping an eye on who follows me from what country! What do you think of it? Let me know and please feel free to share :)
