![]() ![]() I can’t predict who is going to be the next to die or to lose it. They either become stronger or they fall to madness. They try to kill each other in a fit of pure rage fuelled grief. ![]() The fighters are the ones who have to deal with the horrors they have to commit in order to survive. Some are too weak to fight at all, and the rest just give up about half way through. It’s all about the survivors and how they cope with their approaching demise. It isn’t just about zombies going around eating people: it isn’t a simple case of horror thrown over action. The prison could never last not with every one trying to kill each other. Or am I just being a bit evil? As Rick likes to say, all too frequently, “we can make this work.” But, it is so abundantly clear that this would never be true because everybody is slowly losing their sanity. It’s kind of funny really in a twisted sort of way. I think it is so appropriate how the characters have deluded themselves they really think they’ve found a new home in the prison: they think it’s a safe haven. As soon as this line was delivered I knew the rule would soon be broken…. Seems fair enough in this world, but nothing is that simple. ![]() If you kill another group member, if you kill a friend, you, too, will die. If you want to live under Rick’s protection, that’s the pact you take. Every society needs rules, and it shows how desperate this one is to create such a brutally necessary one. ![]() These are simple words, though they’re my favourite phrase so far. ![]()

![]() ![]() "The Lamb" was published in 1789 as part of a larger work, Songs of Innocence, which is itself part of Songs of Innocence and Experience. ![]() The rhymes are gratingly simple and the speaker repeats himself constantly. It sounds like something you might see embroidered beneath an image of the unbearably cute creature and placed in a pretty frame to hang on someone's bathroom wall. If you're reading "The Lamb" out of a textbook or anthology, you might even think it's a bit, well, boring. But we're not going to lie, this poem doesn't exactly make us want to head to the nearest petting zoo. We learn Blake's two main reasons why lambs are so awesome: 1) they are soft, happy, and make cool noises 2) they are associated with Jesus Christ, whom the speaker of this poem regards as the savior of the world. "The Lamb" takes us to the heart of the matter. If you gave him a Rorschach test (where you look at a random pattern of ink and say what comes to mind) Blake would probably say, "Lamb…Another lamb…newborn lamb…Lamb doing gymnastics…" In his poem titled "The Chimney Sweep," he writes that the shape of some poor kid's shaved head is "curled like a lamb's back." This is definitely one of the stranger metaphors we have encountered in any classic poem. Judging by his collection Songs of Innocence and Experience, William Blake was obsessed with lambs. ![]() ![]() Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (based on the 1937 film).She has a Masters of Science in teaching adolescents from Pace University.

Oliver shared many deep interests, especially in music, with Tobias Picker and his husband, Aryeh Lev Stollman, and they began discussing an operatic version of Awakenings in the late 1990’s. In particular, of course, I wonder if you have had any further thoughts about Awakenings.
