Exterior views

I don't really expect to have fans. I mean, my blog's only been here for a few days, and it's all just university work. So, I can see that it would be a little boring from an outsider's perspective. Well, hopefully not.
Anyway, I've shown my blog to a few people. I value my feedback; it helps me do a good job and just generally makes me feel good about myself. Here's some interesting feedback I had recently:

Conceptually, I love "The Last Gift" It's extremely imaginative. "The last gift" makes me think of mankind completing the circle we are already on, ie, returning back to where, biblically, it started, at the tree of knowledge in the Garden Of Eden. 

If you take the story purely as a metaphor, (and no- I'm not religious in any way) Mankind took fruit from the tree of knowledge, and used their gift of knowledge to turn away from, and abuse nature, destroying the world piece by piece until they were forced, bound as they are by the laws of nature, to return to the the last remaining tree. It really is quite poetic ; )

I also love the end of the "final flight of the isis" Ive got PJ Harvey's "On Battleship Hill" ringing in my head! 
"cruel nature has won again..." very uplifting! Kind of makes you wonder whether with all this damaging progress, are we any happier or better off than jungle tribesmen living in harmony with nature?
So, I think that means I'm doing a good job! What's great is I've not got some more stuff to research! Well...more work. But I'm sure it'll help me come up with an interesting story!

So, feel free to leave any feedback on my posts! Either by commenting on them with your blogger account, or if you don't have an account just comment on my Facebook page.
