Reader Response Analysis of Borges
Jorge Luis Borges’ short story The Circular Ruins is often read as a meditation on reality, illusion, and the nature of creation. However, through the lens of Reader-Response Theory, the meaning of the story becomes deeply personal—formed not solely by Borges’ intent, but by how the text interacts with the reader’s beliefs and experiences. For me, this story resonates profoundly with my spiritual belief that the soul is eternal and that after death, it transcends this earthly plane and moves to a higher state of being. Through that perspective, the story becomes not a tale of existential dread, but one of comfort, transformation, and divine continuity.

Echoes in the Corridors of Time
I’ve always wondered if Time watches us the way we watch the skies, silently observing, never interfering, yet forever altering the landscapes within us. The past and the future sit side by side, whispering secrets I strain to hear, wrapped in threads of longing and echoes of forgotten laughter.

Snow White 2025: Balancing Woke Themes with Classic Storytelling – A Review
The 2025 version of Snow White, to be fair, Disney's live-action remake of its first animated picture, has received mixed reviews from the audience. The remake tried its best to be accepted as a feminist film and one that promotes woman empowerment while balancing the old and the new. I watched the film with a grain of salt and kept my logical mind aside—at least, I tried to! However, I could only fathom the discourse of its nurture to a certain extent. In this review, I go deeper into the intricacies of empowerment, fantasy and the performances the film encompasses.

Fast and Dirty Editing - Pre-Prepared, Pre-Packaged Pleasure
So I thought as a last entry for the Self-Editing Epiphany Challenge, I'd partake in what I am calling "Fast and Dirty Editing". What do I mean by "Fast and Dirty Editing"? Well, rather than drill down into the dos and don'ts of writing poetry, or worry about the format (aside from any formatting rules that need to be applied) I am going to take an existing piece I wrote for the Tautogram challenge, but published it too late to be accpeted for the challenge, from a couple of years ago. I am then going to decimate it, without labouring over it too much, and go through the changes as I make them in this critique.

Artificial Intelligence: Revolution or Threat to Humanity?. AI-Generated.
Introduction Itelligence (AI) is at the heart of global technological and economic transformations. From virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to self-driving cars and AI-assisted medical diagnostics, AI is everywhere. Some see it as a revolutionary advancement that will make our lives easier, while others worry about its implications for employment, security, and ethics. Is this technology a major asset for humanity, or a threat that must be strictly regulated?
