A story and a deadline

Three more days to go and I am still half way through my story. I am not anywhere close to ending the story. I need to write a few more twists before the story can end. Should it be a happy ending? Should Ophelia leave? Should Elizabeth accept that Ophelia has taken over her life and move on? Will Trent eventually like Elizabeth? I haven't decided. I will let the characters develop the story. I will let them decide the ending.

I am at chapter 5.

~five~

Irony. The use of irony in music.

Elizabeth loved General Paper. It had always been her favourite class. But today, she found it hard to concentrate.

Today, the topic of irony brought about mixed feelings. She wrote:

"Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. There are two types of irony. There is the verbal irony where what is being said is what is not meant. There is the dramatic irony where the listener perceives something in the song which the song writer doesn’t know."

Elizabeth thought, “This is my irony. My parents’ attempt to make good another person’s life has made worse their only daughter’s life.”

She tore a piece of paper from her writing pad and wrote:

"Who can understand?.
My acrimony is unintended.
A Shakespeare’s invention
Stole my heart’s adoration,
Though I understand not
The charm she got"
