now ... let it snow ??

yes i have been away for ages ... Yes the second ice age has approached the humble villages and billions are hiding from this perpetual cold.

Anyway whining aside, here back is the next part of the literature post that I am putting up. 

Now, Where have i seen her before ? 

Literature is something like connect the dots
3 main things to remember, PRACTICE, PATTERN, RECOGNITION 
There is no such thing as a wholly original work of Literature 
History is story as well ( some history is fiction ) 
So now i will make a large sweeping and totally ignoring the works of all previous authors living or dead 

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY ...EVER !!!!!

Stories grow from other stories
as we read any story, we must be able to achieve the AHA!!! factor as we analyze the text 
Dialogue between old and new texts is always ongoing (intertextuality) 
this will bring in layers into the text, characters, to have their own characters. 
THis is the key ...ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ,,, THE REST IS EASY.
