Bus HomeThe Last Bus Home Rain was always a sign of tragedy‚ something bad didn’t happen every time it rained‚ no‚ but everything bad that happened to me in my life had happened on a day when it was pouring. Alight sprinkle never phased me‚ it was also raining that day. As I woke up in my warm & cosy queen sized bed‚ I remember feeling a cold shiver going up my back through my pink silky pyjamas. It was a typical December morning‚ it wasn’t snowing yet but it was cold and foggy. As I got ready

The autobiography is also extremely inspirational and inscribed in first person‚ therefore this allows the reader to see the personal journey of Li. I believe this text also relates to Shakespeare’s
