My Single Original Act Is Printing Out 'Life Support' By Sam Smith And Analysing It Like A Damn Poem.

My single original act is printing out 'Life Support' by Sam Smith and analysing it like a damn poem.

So here are my findings:

The speaker instantly takes control, stating that "this is my world, this is my choice" with the repetition of the possessive pronoun "my" implying that the speaker is the main focus of the relationship and that there isn't an equal power balance.

The use of "drug" connotes to both medical recovery and addiction, suggesting that even though the lover helps the speaker, the speaker feels overly dependant on their support. This is furthered by "I'm just hangin' on your answer", showing how much the speaker values their lovers response and that they are close enough to use 'slang' yet the verb hanging alludes to death and danger.

Even though the building of the bed suggests the speaker greatly their lover, we see that they take away their lover's agency in how the two questions "can't you see that I am yours? So will you be my life support?" Are instantly followed by "you're my life support". Rather than wait for an answer, the speaker seems to answer for them, trapping the lover in this role.

Additionally the latter question clearly emulates "will you marry me?", by replacing marriage with life support, the speaker instills a sense of urgency and that they will die without their lover. The title of the song being "life support" makes it clear that the writer wished to emphasise this point of toxic dependance.

The poem has cyclical structure with the lover starting and ending surrounded by darkness. This suggests that despite the questions and requests from the speaker, there has been no progress in the relationships.

Additionally, it may suggest the lover has a poor mental state and isn't receiving the care they need from this rather one-sided relationship. This is ultimately made clear in how the speaker is "sick of waking up in darkness", greatly contrasting the idea of their lover being like a medical drug.

Despite acknowledging that the relationship is what is making them sick, the speaker refuses to let go of their lover. Perhaps this is an allegory for the issue of patients becoming addicted to their pain medication past when the medication is no longer needed. By personifying this issue into two people in a relationship, it shows how much power and influence the drugs can have and that often times, addiction replaces and destroys romantic relationships.

I know in my heart that Wolvie and Deadpool fucked in that car

'EAT ME' by Patience Agbabi becomes so much more interesting when you look at it under Simone Beauvoir's feminist viewpoints.

She basically says that we aren't born women but become women and that femininity is largely shaped by what gratifies men.

So in 'EAT ME' the letters of the cake being pink intrinsically link the speaker's femininity to her eating because eating is what gratifies the man.

Femininity becomes a weapon against the speaker who destroys her body in the pursuit of it by the means of pleasing her abuser.

So we all agree that most of the neighbourhood assumes crowley to be one of Mr Fells many many hired 'companions'.

So then when Muriel (another supposed companion) seems to have taken over the bookshop everyone becomes concerned as to where Mr Fell is.

Then, when Crowley starts coming to the bookshop to help Muriel (Maggie and Nina forced him to after Muriel started selling books), everyone panics that these sex workers have scammed Mr Fell out of his beloved book shop.

But then, one day after seeing Crowley chide Muriel everyone becomes appalled at their previous assumptions because this is obviously a parent-child relationship

And someone else over hears Maggie and nina lamenting over Crowley and Azi separating

So then Mr Brown (a man who never quite understood why ever so sweet Mr Fell showed no interest in even thinking of the possibility of the two of them being together) happily starts saying that Mr Crowley and Mr Fell were married and obviously adopted Muriel. After all, if azi was a married man then Mr Brown can pretend in another life they could have been together, if only this thin dark Duke hadn't gotten there first.

Everyone else goes along with this in part to make Mr Brown feel better.

But wait- why has Mr Fell left then? Divorce? Has their child taken over the book shop to support her fathers during this rough patch? Did Mr Fell not sign a pre-nup and now this Mr Crowley bloke owns the bookshop?

"The bastard, how could he do such a thing to sweet old Mr Fell?" Thinks Mr Brown as he charges into the bookshop to give these people a piece of his mind.

Imagine after the bookshops been handed over fully to Muriel that Crowley tries to go in but has to ask permission. And then the realisation sinks in that it really was both him and azis place, that Muriel only grants people permission for one entry (as Heaven advises) whereas Azi was so trusting that if he welcomed you in, you were welcome for life.
