Hi, everyone! My intentions were to post a new The Little Prince video and an "Afterglow" analysis today...but as they say, "the highway to Hell is paved with good intentions". I have to take care of some family stuff, so no video today. That being said, I plan to do both videos early next week. I do have a couple questions, though--
1. Are there any other Lover tracks that you really want me to ...

Hi, everyone! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that we recently got some snow where I live. I'm in North Carolina, so we don't get a lot of snow; when we do, it's a big deal! My son's school was closed today and will also be closed tomorrow. I will try my best to make at least one Patreon video for you all this week, but it will depend entirely on whether or not my six year old goes back to school on Thursday or Friday.
I haven't forgotten about The Little Prince b...

I discuss Taylor's use of grammar, diction, imagery, personification, motif and metaphor in the song, "Cornelia Street". Also- earphone users, I'm not sure why, but the audio is super uneven. I apologize if it is too low or too high 😭😭😭
Disclaimer-- As I mention in the video, I know this song has multiple interpretations. This video just reflects my personal interpretation. Further, the purpose of all of my videos is to model the use of literary analysis. I do n...
2022-01-12 22:00:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis week will be a fun one! I will be going through the next five chapters of The Little Prince sometime this week (I apologize for not posting more last week! Things got a little crazy with the family).
I will also be posting an analysis of Taylor Swift's "Cornelia Street" on Wednesday!
Can't wait!

The Little Prince Book Study: Part 1- Chapters I-V
I read chapters I-V of the Antoine De Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince. As I read, I stop and discuss some of my favorite parts. The first part of this book study is meant to encourage you all to think like a child. I hope that you allow yourselves to get wrapped up in the magic that is this book. Although I do discuss some characterization as well as a bit of the symbolism, I am saving my in-depth analysis...

Hey guys! I was going to try and power through today, but I just can't. I started feeling sick on Monday, and it's just gotten progressively worse. I didn't get out of bed at all yesterday. Today, I'm still running a fever with full body aches.
I'm thinking this is just a bad cold or a sinus infection or something. At any rate, I feel bad that I'm not able to deliver any content right now. The next two videos I plan to make for Patreon include an analysis of "Cruel Summer" and par...

Hi, all! It is my plan to post most Lover track analysis videos on Wednesdays; however, my husband surprised me with tickets to see BTS in LA this Wednesday, so I will be unavailable to make a video. I will, therefore, complete the analysis on Friday! I am so excited for this one!
Also, I've mentioned a couple of times that I want to do a book study on The Little Prince exclusively on Patreon. As many of you know-- it is my FAVORITE book of all time! I am still trying to figure out exac...

This is a blind reaction to the short film "All Too Well". I watch for the first time, while completing a literary style analysis regarding the choices in the film.
2021-11-19 17:18:55 +0000 UTC View PostI plan on doing a blind literary analysis/reaction of the "All Too Well" short film today. I already anticipate it getting blocked on YouTube, so either way I'll still upload my unedited reaction/analysis on here! Love you guys!
