Narration - poems and quotes. Rachael Saunders

We started to look at different poems and quotes, which we decided would be a good idea to put into the speech, said by Kate (Freddie!)

We looked at poems about friendship because although our film is about somebody dying, one of the main focuses is about how close the two girls are.

We also decided to look at quotes about life and death, as one of the girls has passed away and how the other girl can not seem to get over the fact that she is never coming back.

The reason we decided to use different quotes and poems in our film, is because it will give the speech more meaning, and it would show the audience just how close the two girls are.

These are some of the poems and quotes we looked at:

One of the them was a poem called looking for the sunrise by Albert Simpson Reitz, June 1953

I’m not looking for the sunset,

As the swift years come and go;

I am looking for the sunrise,

And the golden morning glow,
Where the light of heaven’s glory
Will break forth upon my sight,
In the land that knows no sunset,
Nor the darkness of the night.

I’m not going down the pathway
Toward the setting of the sun,
Where the shadows ever deepen
When the day at last is done;
I am walking up the hillside
Where the sunshine lights the way,
To the glory of the sunrise
Of God’s never-ending day.

I’m not going down, but upward,
And the path is never dim,
For the day grows ever brighter
As I journey on with Him.
So my eyes are on the hilltops,
Waiting for the sun to rise,
Waiting for His invitation
To the home beyond the skies.

These are some of the quotes we looked at:

'One's best friend is oneself'

'Friendship is one mind in two bodies'

'A single soul in two bodies'

'Friendship! A language the death can hear, the blind can see'
