I keep things bottled up
Its a battle to let things out
Want to talk about me? please dont
Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister im sorry
This year I started telling my story:
Friends weren't close
never let anyone be racist
I used to keep things bottled up
Now I've smashed that bottle
Speaker: victim of bulying
Audience: You
Message: Bullying is rough, it makes a kid sad, scared and worst of all self concious. Being bullied also affects the way you express yourself which is apparent because you can easily tell this poem is from the point of vue of a victim of bullying without any actual refferance to bullies or being bullied.
In this particular rendition of the alternate ending of the chrysalids that I co-created (shocking i know, looks almost too legit.) I decided to pick up immediately where the story left off. So the setting is still in a fish shaped aircraft in which Rosalind, David, the Sealand lady and Petra are all aboard. The story ends by Rosalind saying "it is" which seemed to me like a peculiar way to end a novel, so I decided that rosalind was not yet done what she was going to say when she took an arrow to the knee... I mean throat. This is also a demonstration of one of the main motifs in the story which is indoubtedly death. Which happens so often in the litterary adventure that I felt the need to have 2 people die :) . Furthermore since it was implied multiple times during the story that david and rosalind had feelings for each other i felt it was almost a crime to end the novel without any character outwardly confessing there love and leaving us with a brutal cliffhanger. Thus cementing the need to add the cheezy hollywood ending.
