BATTERSEA, LONDON

at the beginning of the story we learned that there was war in battersea, london where ellen and her mother had once lived.tracing back to the 1940s we can find that indeed there was a war at that time...the world war 2 in specific.. it's odd actually that i started thinking that may be this is a true story...and perhaps neale wrote about sth related to her life or the story of someone close to her...or maybe even the story is partly about kitty herself!

BBC website has some info about world war 2... which also included the bombardments on battersea (ellen's hometown)..and it also includes some info about the child evacuation (earlier mentioned in the story by hilda)...plus...some personal experiences of the survivors of the war

if by any chance u wish to read more..check out bbc:http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/02/a2065402.shtml

kitty neale is still alive...but she's an old bird now:

sooo i think that she was there during the ww2... or i dunno..it just came to my mind...i searched for her birth year..nut i found nothing!

what DO YOU THINK?

LOST ANGEL......the cover looks nice...I admit it :)

Kitty Neale

They took me to jail because of this woman....I intentionally murdered her (jk)..but I am  really thinking of doing so :1 could'nt she write sth funny or mysterious ...I honestly prefer Edgar Allan Poe and his red death thingy!

no more summaries!!!

midterms are this close to us <we>...<midterms>
mathematically it means:
 (midterms X lots of stuff to study) + (5 projects) - (time) = (sad students with failing grades that are no  good for getting into a university)!
and going back to common sense ...and some math...:
no grades = no university
no university = no job
no job = no money
no money = not affording to buy anything (no shelter- no food - no car - no nothing!)
not affording stuff = becoming hobos and begging for our next meal
becoming hobos = staying at ur door steps
and then we get famished ...we die....we become a once upon a time...
our dreams become rotten meat and raisins ...and evaporate...the become deferred bitter syrup..something
so in the end I, TOO  want to go to university and remove all the NOs from the equations.
ps: i don't really have time to listen to blues or jazz ...so i'll probably stick to the sounds of blames that r to come after the mids
THE POINT IS : INSTEAD OF WRITING A REALLY LONG SUMMARY...I WILL READ ..POST SOMETHING ...ANYTHING...ABOUT THE AUTHOR THE STORY...A QUESTION THAT COMES TO MY MIND WHILE READING THE 17 CHAPTERS... that's it :) :D
oh and ms shabana...wish us good luck...and enjoy ur 1 week vacation <3
