As a writer I hate it when people get so perfect with grammar and sentence structures. My personal opinion is if it follows the rules of language enough to where you can clearly understand what the person is trying to say it’s perfect. Language was created to communicate and express ideas, not restrict us. I was so bugged when Stephen King in his book On Writing said it was weaker or worse to say: ‘“He jumped!” he exclaimed.’ Then to say ‘“He jumped!” he said.’. It was just such a nit-picky thing to say. Language was made to express yourself but people judge certain ways of speaking/writing for no valid reason. Say everything other than said, say said as well, say whatever you want! Language is a tool not a barrier. Language is one of the greatest inventions in history, you should not be scared to mess up in it or to be judged for your words. Say stuff in weird ways! Say words from hundreds of years ago! All that matters is you are understood. That is the only rule that should matter. Never be scared to say funky things. If you are judged then ignore them. If you are understood and happy with the words you choose then nothing else should be of importance. Love language.
I don't want to laugh at Sevika's plight but it's FUNNY.
Because imagine she met Silco and thought: "Hey, here's a guy who looks like he definitely won't take in 4 orphans, much less 1, so he can truly focus on our goal!!" Only for her to wake up—after sacrificing her whole ass arm—to her new boss havong already signed adoption papers for not just any kid, but one of Vander's brats AND the same urchin responsible for her loss of limb💀💀
To add insult to injury, that child, in turn, would grow up to be more of a thorn on the ass and dignity for Sevika rather than to the alleged father.
this reminds me of when my class was analysing this poem.
professor: What do you think Thomas meant by "Do not go gentle into that good night"?
classmate: rage and thrash, death shouldn't hold you back from being horrifically determined to be slay right down to your last seconds
professor: interesting... but sure, yes.
we quoted him so much after that. he's so right, we should be horrifically determined to be slay to our very last breath.
