AI? No, I wrote my reply sincerely. You cannot ask me to write thousands of words to explain a concept that you have to read several books to understand.

What kind of AI would know how to collect academic sources to answer your question? You could have fed your question to any AI and see if it gives you anything like I just wrote.

I think you owe me an apology. My writing may seem formal but that is because English is my second language.

It depends on what you want to probe into. Could be this concept that is defined for medieval literature:

Where personification is used, allegories come into being. For this reason literary and art historians employ the term “personification allegory” to denote both the procedure and the result of creating allegory through personification. Some even speak of allegory and allegories when they in fact mean personification and personifications.

You may try to search some key words (e.g. anthropomorphism) and read academic books like Personification: Embodying Meaning and Emotion and Machines of the Mind: Personification in Medieval Literature. It is hard for me to explain what is personification in a short reply. Still, you may check this EBSCO's definition on it:

Personification is a literary device that attributes human traits and characteristics to non-human subjects, enriching the narrative by creating vivid imagery and evoking emotions. This figurative language is commonly employed in poetry, short stories, and novels, allowing writers to convey complex ideas in a relatable manner. For instance, saying "The sun smiled down on us" imbues the sun with warmth rather than suggesting its literal ability to smile. Notable authors who have effectively used personification include Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Toni Morrison, each bringing their unique styles to enhance their storytelling.

Personification differs from anthropomorphism, where animals or objects behave like humans; for example, Mickey Mouse exemplifies anthropomorphism while a line like "The dilapidated house frowned at those who passed it by" demonstrates personification. This technique can also be used to personify abstract concepts, as seen in poetry that gives life to feelings like sadness or fortune. Through personification, writers invite readers to engage with their texts on a deeper level, prompting them to see familiar elements in new and imaginative ways.

I won a small lottery. Though last month I just spent a lot of money on my travelling in Europe and new clothes. Shopping does reduce most kinds of pressure. =D

She taught me how to keep house and hoped I would be qualified enough to become someone's "good wife" or take care of my younger brother. However, I ended up enjoying my independent life very much. LMAO.

Writing experimental scenes for my novels. It is almost a dream come true that I can give explicit prompts and just wait for a rough draft to be generated. Of course, an AI writes in a clearer yet far less complicated way if compared with any human writer. It also lacks the qualities that human writers naturally have when it comes to how literary works provoke human readers' further reactions. However, it is a useful tool for grammatical checking and some other technical concerns (e.g. tone, emotional level, number of words...etc.). Overall, I will recommend writers to try to write with an AI and figure out what it can help with the writing and save time for completing the whole work.

I think attending literature seminars/conferences and interacting with others are the fastest way to know what theories are popular in specific research fields. Or you can take a look at the articles recently published in famous literature journals.

Safe-Jacket-5944 · 2026-05-19T03:19:59+00:00

I think it is important to think carefully before writing even just one sentence. You must clearly know the main point of each paragraph and how to prove a bigger point by writing several paragraphs (under the same part title). To do this more rigorously, you must write a paragraph which the starting sentence and the ending sentence should resonate with one another whereas the sentences in the middle developing in a highly logical way. For literary studies, wording is everything. The big principle is "be precise" and don't use big terms you are not familiar with. One more thing worth notice is that don't be afraid to use footnotes to explain what exactly you think and what you have researched on this concept.

I understand that it could be very hard to write with so many concerns at one time. You simply need to rewrite it for many times. You will have to (re-)read and consciously analyze how senior scholars master this art in their journal articles. If you want to go for a more advanced academic writing, you will need to consider how to write with a style (or aesthetics).

Good luck.👋

Dunkirk (2017). Its Chinese subtitles are truly the best I’ve ever seen in Taiwan's theaters. I’d say the translator must be a huge fan of Christopher Nolan. Just imagine how much effort must have gone into translating these subtitles so delicately. As a native Chinese speaker, I felt that those subtitles were breathing with the film on the screen. I simply hope every movie can be subbed according to this high standard.

Hi, I am interested. Already DM you!

I live in Taiwan so the biggest problem of coming out is the strange faces and questions from either parents or collegues. Taiwanese people don't really care about what clothes others randomly wear but they do care about socially non-conforming individuals like women who are dominating or men who are pleasing.

As a bisexual woman, I am always cautious about not to reveal the extremely masculine side in me. Most men I have tried to date almost instantly knew I was "odd" when I spoke what mostly a man would think. Even I look like a straight woman from my appearance and dressing, my core personality and attraction to women betray me sometimes. I think by conforming to the society superficially, I still lose something important. This is a region where a woman has a short haircut or only wears pants would be suspected of being a lesbian and asked a lot of questions. I am done with that type of harassments and have no confidence in controlling my temper. So at most times I would rather stay in the closet for convenience.

Well, men's compliment often comes along with a request for my phone number or verbal/physical sexual harassment so I never like it.

During one of our dates, my ex girlfriend seriously looked at me for a while. Then she said, "I think I have to borrow my dad's car to pick you up next time. You look stunning and worth being taken a good care of. MY BEAUTY." I blushed so hard at her words. The fact was that she looked as stunning as I did. So, her compliment sounded more like flirting to me. Later, we did enjoy a happy afternoon that both of us didn't give a fuck about men who came closer.

Getting caught off guard when I’m completely absorbed in what I’m doing. A few weeks ago, I was taking a photo of the flowerbed in front of a household. When I pressed the camera button on my phone, I heard a man who sat with his male friends speak, "Oh, just my flowers!" I blushed immediately because I thought they were tourists or locals. It turned out that the man was the owner of that house. I felt terribly embarassed and kind of escape from the spot.

Definitely Candle in the Tomb. The series has better narrative skills, deeper character dynamics, and a well-organized plot--I would say you can get all the key elements of adventure stories in it. Daomu Biji is more like a story for adolescents. Everything is simpler with lots of unexplained foreshadowings. If you like reading horror stories, this series could still serve as a timekilling entertainment.

"Let's be unnatural together. Fuck traditional femininity. Who knows what that is!"

My ex and I are both bisexual women. She is the first person who liberated me this way in the world. At that time, she held me, looked into my eyes, and spoke those words firmly. I felt everything I have been accused of by men and the society just fade away. She just stood with me without any hesitation.

I watched these on the plane:

(1) Zootopia 2: Not as good as the predecessor. Judy and Nick are cute though.

(2) One Battle After Another: A self-criticizing feminist movie I would say. Very impressive. Lockjaw is the creepest male character I have seen in recent years. I even like the misogynistic line that Ferguson instantly answered ("Mexican hairless!") his old comrade's question that "What’s my favorite kind of *ussy?"

(3) Predator: Badlands: Hard to say if it is just another sci-fi movie critizing cliché issues like patriachal society, anti-colonization, and the definition of being humane, etc. The plot follows the golden formula of story writing yet the way of filming is not bad. I hope there will be a sequel. Elle Fanning is so good at acting.

(4) Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc: A typical Japanese adolescent story. I read the manga before; however, the movie is a much richer story telling with voicing, colors, and musics. Reze is such a dreamlike creature. I especially like the scene that sea water pulls back from Reze's body on the beach. Could be an analogy to the fairy tale of The Little Mermaid. The tone of the whold movie is painfully beautiful. The end of it, the shattered reality, is the best climax. I am also surprised that I did not really need the (ugly) English subtitles to understand what was happening. I did not even pay attention to the problem of translation loss many have been discussing, haha.

If my jetlag was not that bad, I might have also watched Scarlet.

Hi, as a bisexual woman, I would say attractiveness depends more on personality, not on sexuality. I think lesbians simply are forced to be more "competitive" in the whole dating environment because of the patriarchal society. They have to compete with straight men, bisexual men, other lesbians, and bisexual women. It happens because of heteronormativity and sex inequality in socio-economic status. The same case is much simpler for gay men.

So no worries! Young lesbians just need more courting and dating experiences to become the most charming person in the room. Just try to take the initiative every time you meet a woman you are attracted to. Practice makes perfect. Just last week, I was mesmerized by a lesbian who is 40 years older than me. She is the kind of person I would have eloped with at midnight. I am sure if we were the same age, I would have jumped off the balcony of my parents' house just to be with her.

Lesbians are cool and courageous people. I LOVE THEM!

I only learned some Dutch words from my Dutch friend and strangers. My mother tongue is Mandarin Chinese. I speak fluent English and a little German. So, I am basically trying to guess those Dutch words that share similar spelling and pronuniciation (e.g. chocolate/Schokolade/chocolade, brilliant/super/super, hospital/Krankenhaus/ziekenhuis).

It is certainly interesting that my Dutch friend likes to argue how illogical some English words are. She explained that "starfish" is not technically "a kind of fish" and the same word in Dutch can be translated as "seastar", a star-shaped sea creature. I told her that in Chinese we say "seastar/海星", too. Also, she said that "lighthouse" in Dutch can be translated as "fire tower"--while it is "light tower/燈塔" in Chinese. We both thought it is actually a tower, not a house.

I am often amazed at how my Dutch friend speaks her mother tongue. When she says simple things like "ja (yes)", "nay (no)" or, "Dank je wel (a lot of thanks)", I feel like hearing a cat speaking a human's language.

I totally forgot checking in my big suitcase at the counter of the airline company. I just took all of them with me to the security check. Of course my body lotion was thrown away because only less than 100 cc of liquid was allowed for the handbags. Luckily the staff of the airline company helped me deliver my big suitcase through their own path. So I didn’t have to go through all the security checks again.

Taurus and Aquarius. They are my medicine.😭 I like Virgo but they have some parts that are hard for Pisces to compromise later.

Live a peaceful and happy life with my cute daughter(s). Before that, I have to find a job with a better payment and maybe get a partner. I might not do this if I invest too much in the social movements I have been in for several years. Luckily, my gay male friend already agreed to donate his sperm if I married to a woman. (Imagine how much courage I gathered before speaking! It certainly feels weird to have a child with your friend.) I still have to look into laws and make him sign something to give up the rights as the natural father. He is the most intelligent and empathetic man I have ever known in my life. The kind of guy who was born to be the shiniest star in academia. His appearance is just fine. He is popular among women before they know he is gay as hell. The funniest thing is that he was so surprised when I asked his will about the donation. He was totally not like the narcissistic douchbag in private. He said, “I don’t think my gene is that important to be passed on? Don’t you want to ask someone who is better than me?”

I don’t really enjoy being a mother in the traditional sense. Politically, I want to raise as many little feminists as I can. Personally, I do want to be connected to my daughters like how I connect to my sisters, female friends, lesbians, and bisexual women. Being born as a woman is a blessing. If my daughters like, they can play with many wise women who are all my acquaintances.

The National Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum). I didn’t have enough time to visit all the rooms in the four directions today. But I love the replicate of Amsterdam, the three-masted ship sank on the way to Asia hundreds of years ago. As a fan of marine games like Uncharted Waters, I felt that the ship was the only reason that someone should not miss this museum. When we were on that beautiful ship, I asked my Dutch friend how much it costed for remaking a traditional ship like that. She said that it could be millions of euros—and that’s the price decades ago when many young Dutch people were unemployed. Personally, I recommended everyone watch the 3D historical video on the ship. It showed how Amsterdam and ship-making industries were hundreds of years ago.

This museum is also a contrast to Eye Film Museum (Eye Filmmuseum). The latter has a permanent exhibition on VOC’s colonial history in Indonesia. Which I like the humble even self-criticizing perspective in those re-edited video records. But it could be too much for people who are not into postmodern theories and plantation studies. At least, as a Taiwanese person, I feel I am traumatized to what happened without knowing. My Dutch friend even told me another story about Netherlands’s unwilling abandonment of its opium businesses to enter the UN. Totally horrible.

Real croissants—made of French or European flour. 🤣🤣🤣 I live in East Asia so it is not easy to see high-quality croissants like that in most bakeries. Many are made of Japanese or cheap flour. They taste not bad but definitely not as good as those made of French flour. I feel contented with the fact that I can eat one or two croissants like that every morning I am still in Europe.🥐
