Heart Attack - Madilyn Bailey *Demi Lovato* + D

Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough

When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
Won’t wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show
So I’m puttin’ my defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love

If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack (x2)

Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And everytime I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help

It’s just not fair
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you, make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show
So I’m puttin’ my defences up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love

If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack (x2)

The feelings got lost in my lungs
They’re burning, I’d rather be numb
There’s no one else to blame

So scared I take off and I run
I’m flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames

You make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show
So I’m puttin’ my defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love

If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Heart attack

Clarity - Kurt Hugo & Sam Tsui *Zedd* + D

I dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Walk on through a red parade and refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave 'cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull then I'll push too deep and I'll fall right back to you

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?

Why are you my clarity?
Why are you my remedy?
Why are you my clarity?

If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?

Here's the last Law essay in my exam :D

*          *          *

Question:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of strict adherence to legal precedent? How strictly are judges bound to precedent in the UK?

Answer:

Precedent is the source of law in which is created in courts for future judges to follow. Generally, all courts are bound by courts above it in the hierarchy as well as their own decisions.

Strict adherence to legal precedent has given a fair share of advantages and disadvantages to society. Among the advantages are certainty. Since precedents are naturally binding, it allows a certain degree of certainty. It allows lawyers to advise their clients based on what they have experienced so far. It also lets them carefully plan their next move.

Another advantage is that precedent provides flexibility. Precedents are allowed flexibility due to certain methods of departing such as distinguishing, overruling and reversing. This allows a limit to its rigidity.

Thirdly, having binding precedents is very useful in the sense that it saves a lot of time. Since the procedure is pretty much fixed, lawyers and clients are unlikely to go through the lengthy process of litigation.

The disadvantages to precedent, however, is that there is quite an amount of rigidity in the system. Since all decisions are precedent and binding, it is compulsory for all courts in the hierarchy to adhere to it. In some cases, the decisions might be wrong or bad, but not much can be done.

Strict adherence to legal precedent has also created a slowness in growth. This is because it is very rare for a case to appeal as far the Supreme Court if the claimant or defendant is unsatisfied in with the decision. Due to this, the growth and development of judicial precedent may be slow.

Precedent may also be disadvantageous because of illogical distinctions. For example, in the case of using the method of distinguishing. In desperation of applying this method, lawyers may find even the slightest of differences, which may appear illogical.

However, while it is true that legal precedence can be strict, there are some methods that can be used to depart from these decisions. Such methods are the distinguishing, overruling and reversing method.

The distinguishing method was used in the Balfour v Balfour case and the Merritt v Merritt case. In the latter case, the wife claimed that her husband had breached a contract. However, the claim was unsuccessful because there was no intention to create legal relations. On the other hand, the Merritt case, which also involved a wife making a claim against her husband, succeeded because the contract was signed after they had separated and there was a proof of it in writing.

An example using the overruling method is the Pepper v Hart case. Here, the Supreme Court overruled that the Hansard could not be used in statutory interpretation as in its earlier case, using the Practice Statement.

The reversing method is used when a higher court reverses the decision made by a lower court in the same case. However, this only applies if the case is appealed to the higher court and if the higher court believes the lower court has made a mistake.

As a result, legal precedent is both strict as well as flexible. It depends on how well it is used to one's advantage or disadvantage.

This is another Law post from my exam :D

*          *          *

Question:
How far is it true that equity has fulfilled its potential?

Answer:

Equity, which is generally known as 'fairness', plays an important role in today's community. It is an evolution from history's common law and continues to grow as time does.

Equity came about when the general public realised that there were certain flaws in the structure of common law. For example, the fact that the only remedy that common law could offer was damages. Damages are a form of compensation to the plaintiff in the form of money. Equity came to existence because of this as it offered more remedies such as injunctions, specific performance, rescission and rectification.

Injunctions are orders received in which the receiver either has to do something or is not permitted from doing something. The injunctions are, therefore, mandatory and prohibitory injunctions respectively. An example of prohibitory injunctions is in the case Warner Brothers v Nelson. In the case, Bette Davis  was prohibited from appearing in another film from another firm because that would breach her contract with Warner Brothers.

Specific performance is when a party is ordered to do something specific. However, personal actions are not granted such as singing at a concert. Also, specific performance does not apply if one of the parties is a minor.

Rescission is the act of returning both parties as far away as possible to their pre-contractual positions. Therefore, in the event that someone has bought something, the purchases are returned for the purchasing price.

The remedy of rectification is the act of rectifying a mistake in a contract so as to reveal its intentions.

Apart from equity remedies, equities also come with equitable maxims. Some examples are that equity looks at the intention and not the form, those who come with equity must come with clean hands and delay defeats equity.

The maxim that equity looks at the intention and not the form can be seen in the Berry v Berry case. Usually, a deed is needed to overrules another deed, however in the Berry case, a simple contract sufficed because the intentions were clear.

The case that incorporates the maxim that those who come with equity must come with clean hands is the D & C Builders Ltd v Rees case. In this situation, Mr and Mrs Rees paid the builders a portion in advance. When asked for the full pay afterwards, they declared that the builders had not done the job properly and paid them lesser. The builders, experiencing financial difficulties, accepted in desperation. However, they later sued the Rees for the remaining.

Under the rule of estoppel, the builders were actually not allowed to sue the Rees for the remaining, however Lord Denning said that the Rees had not come with 'clean hands'. Therefore, the claim succeeded.

In many ways, the system of equity has plenty of hidden potential. However, it is just as undeniable that equity has maximised its potential where discovered.

Another law post, comin' up!! :D

Question:
Evaluate the view that any advantages of the jury system are far outweighed by its disadvantages.

Answers:

The jury system has long since been a system used in courts, typically when judging criminal offences. A jury usually consists of 12 people, selected at random. However, much care is taken so as to refrain from choosing anybody who is not qualified to be a juror.

This system has also gained much confidence from the people in a sense that is it has sort of become a reliable method of settling cases. It is seen as such because a large majority of people disapprove to the disagreement of right of rial by jury for 'minor' thefts.

However, it is generally stated that the advantages of the jury system are far outweighed by its disadvantages. To a certain extent, it is unfortunately true.

For example, an advantage of the jury system is the secrecy of the jury room. Since nobody is allowed to enter the room, the jurors are free from pressure and strain of choosing the right verdict. Jurors also get to discuss the evidence they have heard in private.

Unfortunately, it is also for this very reason that it is a disadvantage. Since nobody is allowed in the room other than the jurors, it is debatable whether or not the jurors understand the case evidence and facts.

A second advantage is that since the selection is pretty much random, the jurors' personal biases and prejudices are likely to cancel each others' out. Therefore, there is a possibility of a fair trial.

However, this is also a disadvantage because it is possible for a jury to consist of more biased and prejudiced people. In such an event, there is a possibility of a very unfair trial.

Other disadvantages include media influence, which may have an effect on the decision of the jury. There may also be the issue of jury tampering, in which friends or family members of the defendant or claimant speak to the jurors and influence them. Apart from that, long trials may tire and put a strain on the jury emotionally, causing them to be unable to judge properly.

There is also the possibility of a restless jury, in which the jurors do not really care for the facts and would rather have the case end fast. They then begin to take no notice of the key evidence and instead act on hunches and assumptions.

In conclusion, Lord Devlin once said that the jury is the 'lamp that shows that freedom exists'. However, while it is definitely true that the jury system has advantages, it is more so to say that its advantages are far outweighed by its disadvantages.

Whoo~ This is my Law exam essays :D

*          *          *

Question:
To what extent, if at all, should law be used to enforce morality?

Answer:

It is universally acknowledged that laws are rules and regulations which govern us. They are passed by those who govern us and enforced as such they believe appropriate or suitable. If violated, serious consequences will have to be beared by the violator.

On the other hand, morality is based solely on what the particular individual deems as right and wrong. They are constitutions of the individual's morals and principles. They also differ from person to person. Most importantly, if moral principles are violated, it is unlikely the individual will be arrested.

There are, however, overlaps which occur some of the time. While a few may coincide with each other, others may bring the opposite effect. For example, it is a law that public urination is not allowed. It is also immoral for such an act to be done. In this case, the law and morality coincide with each other. In the event that the law and morality should conflict, however, it would be an example of morality obstructing the average adult from indulging in pornography, whereas there is no written law that prohibits it.

In light of the above statement, it is a constant debate with regards to whether law should be used to enforce morality. In actual fact, there are a few advantages and disadvantages in doing so.

An advantage to incorporating morality into law is that the society would less likely see any sort of misbehaviour or disgraceful actions committed in public. For example, if prostitution were banned, nobody would have to sell their bodies for money.

Another advantage would be that law would be much easier to enforce. For example, any bad actions would be against the law and be put right immediately. Nobody would have dilemmas on whether or not the law says it's wrong because it is against one's morals.

On the other hand, if morality were to be incorporated into law, the law would be very rigid. For one, even the slightest action which goes against one's morality would be thereby declared against the law. If such were to be the case, there would hardly be anyone on the streets.

Secondly, as mentioned above, morality differs from person to person. Therefore, who is to decide whose morals to incorporate into our laws? What is wrong to an individual need not necessarily be wrong to another individual. Ergo, confusion will arise and the stability of the law would be jeopardised.

In a nutshell, there is no doubt that law should be used to enforce morality. However, it should only be done to a certain degree so as to provide some freedom but not so much as to cause any disturbance or imbalance to the society.

This is the prose part of our English Literature exam :D

*          *          *

Question:
"The characters in Jane Eyre experiences the tensions of passions and self-control."
Explore the methods which writers use to present those tensions to capture the readers' attention.
In your response, you should focus on Jane Eyre to establish your argument and you should refer to the second text you have read to support and develop your line of argument.

Answer:

The characters in Jane Eyre experiences the tensions of passions and self-control. This does not only apply to the main character who is Jane Eyre but also other minor characters.

In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte – the authoress – has used different methods to present these tensions so as to capture the readers' attention. For example, Jane Eyre loses her self-control when she 'attacked' John Reed. Charlotte Bronte used Jane Eyre's bottled-up fury in order to unleash a side of Jane Eyre kept dormant until that fateful day when she yelled, '"Wicked and cruel boy! You are like a murderer – you are like a slave-driver – you are like the Roman emperors!"' This rage also serves as a form of satisfaction for the readers that Jane Eyre has finally stood up for herself.

Secondly, Charlotte Bronte creates characters in order to present these tensions. For example, the creation of Helen Burns; Jane Eyre's first friend at Lowood School. She exercised a great deal of self-control in the school, like when Helen Burns does not take the initiative to explain to Miss Scatcherd that the reason why she had not cleaned her nails was because the water was frozen. Instead, she 'quietly, and without being told, unloosened her pinafore, and the teacher instantly and sharply inflicted on her neck a dozen strokes with the bunch of twigs'. Even so, she did not react to the pain and only let a tear escape when she was no longer in Miss Scatcherd's presence. This may infuriate some readers because detest for Miss Scatcherd has been born but also acts as an interesting aspect for them to read on.

Thirdly, Charlotte Bronte introduces love to create the tension of passion. This exists between Mr Rochester and Jane Eyre and captures readers' attentions because back in those times, a relationship between two people of two different social statuses was seen as impossible. Jane Eyre even reprimands herself in that sense, as seen on page 186 when she says: '"You a favourite with Mr Rochester? You gifted with the power of pleasing him? You of importance to him in any way? Go! Your folly sickens me,"'as well as when she says: '"It does good to no woman to be flattered by her superior, who cannot possibly intend to marry her; and it is madness in all women to let a secret love kindle within them, which, if unreturned and unknown, must devour the life that feeds it and, if discovered and responded to, must lead, ignis-fatuus-like, into miry wilds whence there is no extrication."' Readers would definitely be spurred to read on as this serves as part of the climax in which Jane Eyre must now decide how to cope with her budding feelings for her employer.

In the event that it is doubted that tensions of passion and self-control capture readers' attention, let me divert to Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea, which serves as a prelude to Jane Eyre. In Wide Sargasso Sea, Jean Rhys creates tension by setting Antoinette Cosway and her family in the middle of a sort of racial community where she is very much disliked for being a 'white nigger' and, more frequently, a 'white cockroach'.

Jean Rhys also uses the similar method of introducing love so as to create passion. The two characters involved are Mr Rochester and Antoinette Cosway. However, unlike the scenario in Jane Eyre where the feeling of undying love is mutual, the love in Wide Sargasso Sea is purely one-sided. Even though Antoinette has agreed to marrying him, Mr Rochester does not respect his marriage. He even engages in amorous activities with Amelie, the help. This also creates possible tension in the readers, who cannot believe Mr Rochester would do such a thing.

Also, while in Jane Eyre, Jane Eyre is able to practice self-control when it came to choosing between staying at Thornfield Hall as Mr Rochester's mistress or leaving, in Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette Cosway was not as fortunate. The thought of another woman had served as a psychological trigger, unleashing the insanity she had inherited from her mother, Annette. This can be observed when Mr Rochester narrates: 'She lifted her eyes. Blank lovely eyes. Mad eyes. A mad girl.' It can be said that this turn of events caught readers' attentions and urged them to continue reading.

This goes to show that, as human beings, we are subject to the pain of passion and intense self-control when it comes to living our lives. We learn self-control to prevent hurting others and experience passion in areas of variety such as love and work. In a nutshell, we have to take hold of our desires and tame them so as to prevent unnecessary strain on ourselves, as is shown in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

Question:
"Some poets writing about home explore the theme of memory."
Using Alfred Lord Tennyson's Mariana (Oxford Anthology of English Poetry) as a starting point, compare and contrast how poets explore the theme of memory in at least one other poem.

Answer:

Some poets writing about home explore the theme of memory. Such poems which portray that theme would be "Mariana", by Alfred Lord Tennyson and "To My Mother", by George Barker.

In Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Mariana", the persona remembers details of her home. For example, 'with blackest moss the flower-pots were thickly crusted, one and all: The rusted nails full from the knots that held the pear to the gable-wall. The broken sheds looked sad and strange: unlifted was the clinking latch; weeded and worn the ancient thatch upon the lonely moated grange'. The setting of her home becomes her greatest ally in remembering what home feels like and allows the poem to build up from there.

Similarly, in "To My Mother", George Barker has the persona recall details of his home, no matter how minor. For instance, the persona remembers that his home houses a cellar where his mother may 'scuttle' to. Little details like such become a strong trigger when writing about a person's home.

Apart from that, poets use specific words which act as some form of specificity. In "Mariana", Alfred Lord Tennyson uses the word 'the' to emphasise on this specificity. For example, in the fifth stanza, he writes: 'In the white curtain, to and fro, she saw the gusty shadow sway'. The word 'the' was not substituted with 'a' or any other term that may suggest vagueness or the assumption that it might not be there at all. Rather, it provided finality that there was indeed a white curtain which would billow to and geo in the persona's home.

The word 'the' is also used fairly often in George Barker's "To My Mother". For example, in the first stanza and second line, the persona says: 'Under the window where I often found her'. Once more, the persona did not say: 'Under a window', because it was not the exact window he was referring to in which he often found his mother under. This shows how precise one's memory of home can be.

Thirdly, Alfred Lord Tennyson used life to explore the theme of memory. In "Mariana", the example would be in the sixth stanza where he writes: 'All day within the dreamy house, the doors upon their hinges creaked; the blue fly sung in the pane; the mouse behind the mouldering wainscot shrieked'. This would normally suggest a high degree of repetition in the persona's life and therefore provides the monotonous feeling of forever being present at home.

As with Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Mariana", George Barker's "To My Mother" also uses life to explore the theme of memory. For example, 'the lame dogs and hurt birds that surround her'. The persona remembers these certain things that reinforce his memory of home.

While Alfred Lord Tennyson and George Barker share some similarities in that sense, there are also differences between their methods on exploring the theme of memory. For instance, in "Mariana", Alfred Lord Tennyson was a great deal of nature to highlight his memories of home. Examples include the persona narrating: 'Upon the middle of the night, waking she heard the night-fowl crow' and 'And ever when the moon was low, and the shrill winds were up and away'. The environment plays just as important a role as life does in memory, which is present in "To My Mother", by George Barker.

In "To My Mother", George Barker uses the persona's mother as the embodiment of 'life'. By recalling the little habits that his mother used to do, like 'lean on the mahogany table like a mountain', the persona is able to remember his home, such as the existence of the 'mahogany table' his mother can 'lean on'.

In actual fact, it is the main source of our recollection of home. Memories of our childhood, memories of us growing up; they resolve around our home and that is why when poets write about home, the theme of memory becomes an irreplaceable asset.

Here's a Literature post that I had to do in class today :D A few more Literature posts coming up, though, so be prepared :D

*          *          *

Question:
Writing from John Reed's point of view, retell the fighting scene with Jane Eyre.

Answer:

Oh, fudge! There’s never anything to do in this Godforsaken house. Lizzy and Georgy are playing with their dolls again. Ugh, stupid fools; I will never see the point in making inanimate objects move.

It was then that I spied a book from the corner of my eye. It was the ‘History of Rome’, from some douchebag Goldsmith.

Holy muffins, she’s been touching my books again. Who, you may ask? Well, that ninny Joan, of course. I have seen her prowling about with my books in her hands. Filthy, filthy hands. I will have to burn that book.

I smirked like how a venomous villain would.

Well then, someone has to teach her a lesson. Who better to do it than me?

I open the door to the breakfast-room and peered in.

“Boh! Madame Mope! Where the dickens is she?” I turned towards the drawing room, “Lizzy! Georgy! Joan is not here: tell mamma she is run out into the rain ­– bad animal!”

Lizzy poked her head into the breakfast-room and then turned to me, saying, “She is in the window-seat to be sure, Jack.” And, sure enough, when I walked in, there she was, the little grub, standing by the curtains.

“What do you want?”

The nerve of that swine. How dare she address me with not so much as an honorific? She should know her place.

“Say, ‘what do you want, Master Reed’.”

I could see the fear in her bloodshot eyes. She was terrified of me.

And she should be. I am the master of the house and I am not about to let anybody forget it. Not even mamma.

She moved towards me then and I stuck my tongue out at her for about three minutes. I thought she would crumble under my gaze, but I was more astonished at hers. To say I was annoyed would be an understatement. I was enraged. Immediately, I struck her hard and watched in – what must have been maddening for her ­– glee as she stumbled backwards.

“That is for your impudence in answering mamma a while since and for your sneaking way of getting behind curtains, and for the look you had in your eyes two minutes since, you rat!” I paused for her response, but she remained silent. “What were you doing behind the curtain?”

She finally answered, “I was reading.”

The little pest! She has the gall to read my books?

“Show the book.” When she handed it to me, I snatched it away, saying, “You have no business to take our books; you are a dependent, mamma says; you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not live here with gentlemen’s children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mamma’s expense. Now, I’ll teach you to rummage my bookshelves: for they are mine; all the house belongs to me, or will do in a few years. Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows.”

As she walked towards the direction I pointed, the wheels in my head turned. I gripped the book hard and positioned it as such that it aimed right at her head. And, just as she realized what I was trying to do, threw it with all my might. The cry that followed was pure gold and I watched with fascination as the blood trickled down her pale face.

But this time, she did not just stand idly by after taking the hit. In fact, she snapped at me! Called me a slave driver!

“What! What! Did she say that to me? Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana? Won’t I tell mamma? but first –”

I pulled her hair and bruised her shoulder. The wretch deserved it, for attacking me as she did. Before I could continue, Bessie and Abbott dragged the runt off.

To the Red Room, no doubt. Hah! She will die from here in there, if not from the untreated wound I inflicted upon her head. That will teach her! Nobody defies me, for I am the master of this household. I will outlive the rest of the imbeciles under this roof.

I’ll show them.
