Cruelty to Animals

12/5/86                       Cruelty to Animals

1. myxomatosis is an infectious fatel disease of rabbits caused by a virus.

2. the rabbit will be bumping into things and struggling to walk and move

3. the rabbit cannot see, and it’s muscles tense up and then after a few days it dies

4. the person killed the rabbit to put it out of its miseriy

5. I thinkm they should not use this method because it is a cruel way to kill it. If they should kill rabbits why not just trap and/or kill it with a gun.

6. “what are those funny things staring at us through the bars?”

“Hush dear. Its along story”

“Before you were born your father and Brother and myself lived in a warren a long way from here for many years when there was an out break of myxomatosis”

“whats my. Myxomatosisius”

            “myxomatosis is a deadly disease the farmers spread over all our warrens and we had to leave, buy unfortionatly your farther and brother died a few days later.” She went to the corner and sat down. “on our way to the moors I was caught in a trap that is the scar on my neck and was there for 2 days the a farmer came and put me in here”

            “well why am I here” her son said. “because you were born two weeks later so you have been here all your life”. “those funny things are humans just like the farmer”

            we we will we ever get nout” he asked sadly “I don’t think so dear” the only cance of us geting out is if we are chose for the chop”.

Paraphrase                                                     
Poem
Comments if paraphrase is better
comments if poem is better
1. froze the brooks and ponds              
called to water “Halt!”
The words froze the brooks and ponds sounds better than called to water “Halt”

2. turned the thawing snow crisp again        
crusted the moist snow with sparkling salt

the author use’s onomatopia like the crusted sounds like the noise it makes
3. Brooks ice over                                          
Brooks, Their own bridges, stop
the brooks just is its own form

Tench

Tench is a particular fish
6. Move slowly                                               
lurk

Lurk sounds interesting. Why?
7. beneath the frozen surface of the ponds  
under gluey glass
Under gluey glass sounds like a sticky hard surface

9. lane                                                            
hard-rutted lane

hard-rutted lane has something to it
10. Icy puddles crack                                     
breaks a brittle pane


11. trees                                                         
tinkling trees

the tinkling puts more in to it than just trees
12. bend under the                
Changed into weeping willows
Is more concisie

13. stick up out of
Take root
More starling – dead things can’t take root

14. frost makes patterns
Fearsome windows shoot their ghostly friends
Fits in better with other parts of the poem

15. frost
Fierce frost

Is more startiling
16. traps
Interns
Is more vivid than interns

17. covers trees
Ranks trees in an armed host
Covers trees is concise

18. makes icicles                                            
Hangs daggers
More concise

19. decorates windows           
Ferny ambush weaves

Expressed in a better way
20. warmth
In the long war grown warmer

Is more dramatic
21. soon melts all the ice away
Will strike him dead and strip his armour
Is more precise

                        Quite good Robert – I’m concerned that you seem to have missed out a lot of work though. Take care with presentation

i don't know what is going on here and i wrote it

7/4/86                         Title

1.  Both poems are about murder or dead people the poem called Nobody Knows how She... doe’s not look like a poem but Contusion doe’s. The poem Nobody Knows how She... is writern in a coded message. IN Nobody Knows how She there is no foul play but in Contusion the person sounds as if he/she was shot

2. I think the most effective is the poem named Contusion Becuase it looks more like a poem then Nobody Knows how she... But you can see what had sort of happended in Nobody Knows how She... like her one shoe and her notebook and a dress and the body floating.

3. BODY FOUND IN RIVER

See next page for details

A body has been found IN a river the body is of an unknown identification. The person had been dead for at least an hour the death of the person is unknow She had only one show and a dress on and a notebook was aleast one yard from her.

4. (This was written as if it was on a scrap of paper)

Well, I have had

 enough I have

decided to kill me

 self because of

my debts and

problems don’t go in

to a full report

well good bye

Yours

Arthur brown

5. people like to stress there feelings That is why they write about murder and death.

6. Unfinished work again
