Lost Joy

[ Warning ] explicit language What would you do if you met someone who can not understand the meaning of joy? Happiness? Love? “It’s not that I believe it doesn’t make sense. I know it doesn’t.” “But Calla, how can you live without love? Joy? Warmth?” “And how can you feed with it? Can you eat it? Will it protect you from a rapist? Will it give you a shelter at night? Will it make you healthy?” “From what you say I can see that you think money is the most important thing” “Money?” Calla laughs and saying, “Can I eat money? I don’t work because I eat, I eat because I work. Without food I won’t have energy, I only do what I must. Money is not a goal, money is one of the means to reach my goal.” “So all you think about is food?” “You really don’t know me. Work, gain money, buy food, eat food, exercise to not develop indigestion, eat properly to not develop gastritis and etc” “You think you don’t need anything else? Really?” “Not all of us have a choice... I’ve never felt sad because love if that’s what you’re asking and how can I miss something that I’ve never felt?”signs Calla, “My dad was a criminal and he wanted me dead before I was even born. My mother was a mad woman that would’ve killed me in order to feel loved. That’s what love and hate are. Harmful extreme feelings that take your ability to think properly. Do you no what hunger is? Necessity to eat. Do you know what happens if you neglect your hunger? Starvation. Just remember that, again, some of us don’t have a chance. Some of us abstain from eating lunch in order to have dinner. The nights with an empty stomach are long. Trust me, I know it, I never had a chance, not when it came to food not when it came to love” Calla stops to breath a little and gazes at the man in front of her “I’ve never loved and I’ve never been loved still it didn’t kill me. You’re right, I only work, eat and sleep. I think about nothing else. So what? What’s wrong with that? Why do I have to live my life the way you want me to live? Can’t you just give me a break?” “I can’t” says the man, “I can’t and I won’t” he raises his voice, “I love you Calla, you have been loved either you recognize it or not, I love you” he sees Calla standing up and then he rushes to hold her wrists, “You are mine Calla, you belong with me... I’ll show joy. I’ll teach you love. I’ll never let you starve, of anything, no matter what” “tsk” ...

Killjoys

Aljoša Rodinger, pen name AL Rodinger, is a 21-year-old writer and amateur boxer currently studying history and English literature at the University of Maribor. He was born on 1.7.1999 in Maribor, Slovenia and attended the Rada Robič Elementary School in Limbuš. He began to take interest in the English language from a very early age and by the beginning of his 6th grade was already a fluent speaker of the language.

After graduating, he enrolled in the University of Maribor as a student of both history and English literature. Currently, he is also employed at the Marbior Slovene National Theatre as an usher. “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same. Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and - which is more - you'll be a man, my son.” These are the words that start our tale of four friends, their deep and personal friendship and their own coming of ages, where they finally come to terms with their own flaws and manage to find perfection in being imperfect and broken. It is a story about accepting yourself with all of your strengths and weakness, living life with all of its ups and downs, experiencing pain and joy, confronting both your inner demons as well as the people closest to you. Our character’s lives are entwined with discrimination, hatred, addiction and death, yet it always seems that there is some resemblance of light, of contempt at the end of the dark and long tunnel before us. We just simply have to find a way to get to it and make our own path.

The System Is Too Weak
I recommend Super System by Crazy Cockroach. This was a novel about urban life, about the super hacker Yue Feng who was reborn into a vegetative state, but he was building a super system in his brain. The plot was about hackers and super systems. It was very creative. The author's writing style was not bad, and the style was slow. Only with patience could one appreciate the brilliance. It was similar to his other " Super Brain Hacker ", where a system was installed in the brain. He was an old writer. Although his works were not produced at the right time, they left a deep impression on people. The recommendation index was four stars, and the potential index was five stars. Super God System was not bad either. It was an urban supernatural novel written by Bug 2. The protagonist Mu You rose to fame after becoming the host of the system. The first half was pretty good. Although the routine was old-fashioned and slow to heat up, it had a big imagination. It was an early system text, and the background at that time was very good. There was a small thunder point, but it did not affect it. The recommendation level was six stars. Newbies who liked cool novels could take a look. There was also " Rebirth Streaming System ", a sci-fi apocalyptic crisis novel written by a lazy little beast. The female protagonist, Tang Anxin, was forcefully bound by the rebirth live broadcast system. Six hundred years ago, she was reborn not to save the world but to protect her loved ones. It was very interesting. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Appreciation of Crab Banquet Scenes in Dream of the Red Chamber
The crab banquet scene in Dream of the Red Chamber had many appreciative meanings. From a social perspective, this banquet showed the complex interpersonal relationships in Grand View Garden. At the crab banquet, the seating arrangement reflected the hierarchy and relationship between relatives and relatives. For example, Grandmother Jia, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu, and Baoyu sat at a table. People of different status coexisted, reflecting the social order of the feudal family. At the same time, this banquet was also a rare moment for the young ladies and servant girls to gather together. From the master to the servant girls, everyone participated. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful, and everyone was laughing and laughing, showing the life of a big family. From the perspective of character drawing, the personalities of different characters were displayed in the crab banquet scene. For example, Xiangyun was very hospitable. As the host, she accompanied them to eat while taking care of the table. She also thoughtfully asked people to serve crabs to Concubine Zhao and Concubine Zhou. She also arranged for Yuanyang, Hupo, and other servant girls to sit at the table. As for Xue Baochai, her style of doing things and the thoughts behind her at the Crab Banquet reflected the complicated side of her personality. Although she seemed generous in paying for the banquet, some details caused a lot of controversy. For example, she did not explain the specifications of the first meeting of the Poetry Society to Shi Xiangyun, which made outsiders feel that she spent a lot of money. It might also affect the expenditure of the subsequent activities of the Poetry Society. At the same time, she did not respect the president Li Wan on the poetry society related matters, offending Yingchun and others. In terms of cultural content, the combination of crab banquet and poetry club activities reflected the cultural elegance of the aristocratic class at that time. After appreciating osmanthus flowers and eating crabs, everyone began to write poems. They competed with each other with "Chrysanthemum Poetry" and finally "Crab Ode". With these poems, the author not only showed the literary talent of the characters, but also criticized the absurdity of the officialdom at that time like Jia Yucun through the meaning of the poems. He severely criticized the feudal social system and the darkness of officialdom. This plot reflected the cultural tradition of the literati at that time, who did not forget literary creation and social criticism while enjoying themselves. From the perspective of food culture, the crab banquet also showed its exquisite and exquisite side. For example, the " green bean noodles smoked by chrysanthemum leaves and osmanthus pistils " used for hand cleaning, as well as Wang Xifeng's attention to the quantity of crabs, and the description of how to eat crabs, such as steaming them, reflected the meticulous culinary culture of the aristocrats at that time. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
