Aloysius and George vs Helena and Caroline
- Physical
Helena had the meek gentle face of a nun and the forced personality of an Empress Tzu Hsi. She never gave the appearance of complaint. Helena also served the pesona and Aloysius the last two chops and only ate two boiled eggs. Caroline Adams was a plump and cheerful girl,with twinkling eyes and infectious chuckle. she also had a pretty face.
-Psychological
Helena never complained. She also assumed things. For example, Helena assumed Aloysius was going to bring home guests everyday and thus, prepared an extra plate for the next whole week. For Aloysius, he was a henpecked husband. He allowed Helena to control him and all his moves. Helena made sure Aloysius was punctual for every meal and made him recite his programme for the day every morning. George and Aloysius merely accepted all their 'sufferings' with Helena. They allowed her to control them and gave in to her.

George was brought up by Helena with the midset that to disrespect his mother's wish would leave him guilty. Helena never wanted George to leave her alone. She wanted him to be with her every time she was at home. Caroline always tried to make George laugh and forget his problems.

-Emotional
Aloysius kept his feelings too himself till the day he died. Helena was an emotional and sensitive person. When she felt that George was getting closer to Caroline, she felt as though she was going to lose him forever. George also kept his feelings and thoughts to himself. He never told Helena how he felt.

-Spiritual
Helena was a Sinhalese Catholic . She was the mistress in the use of Christian matyrdom on the domestic front.

Today's lit lesson was interesting.

First,we went through 'Lee'.

Then Miss Ang started talking about goig to plays

and how some famous authors actually committed suicide

even though they are famous.

I find that interesting and weird at the same time.

There was also this guy who was ostracised(im not sure hw it is spelt)

because his book contained a lot of gay material...

Lastly, to Miss Ang, I would love to go to a play with the whole Literature class...

will be waiting for that day...

okey...gtg...bye!!

A girl living in a world of confusion

Solving mysteries of school and life

Adore all my lovely friends

Never fail to smile whenever with my friends

Am always prepared to be a listening ear

Cares about people around me

Playing the guitar has always been what I love

Always believe that succeeding is crucial

Never fail to attempt to succeed

Will always try and not admit defeat
