StretPharmacist: stupid paper, I refuse to
read this book, so I'm doing it the hard way
Jaybird: i hate reading
books
Jaybird: especially
dumb ones
StretPharmacist: if it
didn't suck so bad
StretPharmacist:
seriously, give me a decent book for once
StretPharmacist: I can
only think of 2 in the last 3 years that I actually
thought were good that the English Nazis made me
read
Jaybird: no kidding
Jaybird: why are these
books classics if no one likes them
Jaybird: why are we
forced to read them
StretPharmacist: yeah,
I have a theory
StretPharmacist: goes
like this
StretPharmacist:
English teachers are all sheeplike, what the leading
mind says, the others do
StretPharmacist: so
what happens is
StretPharmacist: some
well respected professor claims that a certain book
has a powerful message, and now all of a sudden it's
a classic
StretPharmacist: this
explains why most books are not "appreciated" during
it's time
StretPharmacist: it
takes 20-50 years for anyone to analyze it enough to
think, hey, this is saying something
StretPharmacist: and in
reality, it isn't saying anything
Jaybird: exactlly, it
just takes that long for someone to make up some
bullshit about it
StretPharmacist: case
in point, and this is a true story
Jaybird: huckleberry
finn doesnt represent society, i dont care what
anyone says
StretPharmacist: when
we read "The Old Man and The Sea"
StretPharmacist: Malm
got all like, this symbolizes this, and this does
this
StretPharmacist: so Tom
Brantseg brought in a quote the next day from
Hemmingway himself
StretPharmacist: "The
Old Man is an Old Man, The Sea is The Sea, The Fish
is The Fish" and also goes on to say that whatever
people read into it isn't there
StretPharmacist: to
which Malm replied "Well he doesn't know what he's
talking about."
Jaybird: haha
StretPharmacist: which
means that she doesn't know what she's talking
about, as Hemmingway wrote the goddamn thing
Jaybird: no kiddin
Jaybird: g
Jaybird: oh my god, i
just get angered hearing about stupid people like
that
StretPharmacist: and if
someone tells me again about how The Lord of The
Rings symbolizes the weakness of man, drugs, or
anything like that again, I will pull out my primary
source material from Tolkien HIMSELF that states it
is just a story that grew from his mind, and nothing
else
Jaybird: i bet most
stories are, i doubt authors sat down and wondered
how to make this master creation symbolizing their
story to something else
Jaybird: i bet they
just wrote a story and people looking for symbolism
did the rest
StretPharmacist: yep,
although I can think of one that actually does it
StretPharmacist: The
Crucible was indeed brought out in the time of
McCarthyism, and so I believe that it was intended
that way
Jaybird: i havnt read
that
StretPharmacist:
Basically, it's the Salem Witch Trials, and this is
meant to compare them to the Red Scare, which in
essence is the same thing, so I believe that it is
the only one that actually does this
Jaybird: yeah, well i
mean, im not saying no one puts symbolism into any
of their writings, but i mean, the great gatsby and
huckleberry finn, no i refuse to think so
StretPharmacist:
correct, both books are just long winded and
represent nothing, I fail to see the appeal
StretPharmacist: and I
can already tell that this is going to be another
year when I don't get along with my english teacher,
so yeah, another typical year
Jaybird: i've only
liked one english teacher ever i think, pretty much
Jaybird: for some
reasons, me and english teachers dont get along
StretPharmacist: see,
this is because we speak our minds, and don't sell
out to the fact, unlike others
StretPharmacist: if
asked, I will speak my mind, I told Mrs. Malm that
the Great Gatsby was long and boring, and I hated
every page, and she didn't like me very much
StretPharmacist: others
will hate the book, and then turn around and say
stuff like "I find this book interesting because it
is a commentary of life. . ." or something similar
StretPharmacist: now I
fully believe that school is only going through the
motions, for the most part, but I will not
compromise the integrity of my mind in these matters
Jaybird: no kidding
Jaybird: my english
teacher last year told me i interpreted a poem wrong
StretPharmacist: wow,
she's dumb, and missing the point of poetry in the
first place
Jaybird: exactly
StretPharmacist: I may
not believe in poetry, but it is what you make of
it, just like anything else
Jaybird: yeah, poetry
IS supposed to be interpreted differently by
everyone
Jaybird: but i guess i
did it wrong...
Jaybird: haha
StretPharmacist: see,
I've always said that no two english teachers teach
the same language
Jaybird: how true
StretPharmacist: see, a
good example is writing style
StretPharmacist: every
year we get to a new english class
StretPharmacist: and
whatever we learned last year about writing is
thrown out, even though we were told that this is
how you will be expected to do it next year
StretPharmacist: and
are told this for the new way as well
StretPharmacist: and
fucking MLA, seriously, they just change small rules
to fuck me out of points on paper
Jaybird: whats MLA?
StretPharmacist: last
year I got 5 points off for underlining "Works
Cited" on the works cited page, and was later told
by a college guy who takes an english class that
that is how MLA wants it
StretPharmacist: MLA is
a group of Nazis that somehow exists in order to
spite all students who have ever had to write a
paper
Jaybird: haha, ok
StretPharmacist: they
are the official group who tell you the proper way
to cite sources, the correct grammar, the right
formats, and so on
StretPharmacist: and
these things change on a month to month basis, they
are seriously worse than the IRS at changing laws
Jaybird: that sounds
dumb
StretPharmacist: and
they have total control over the English Language,
which I think is slowly becoming a tool of the
Illuminati because of them
StretPharmacist: well,
I guess if I have time, I have a new article
Jaybird: haha, there
you go
StretPharmacist is a lot like the Undertaker: A
gimmick that should have never gotten over, but was
taken to unbelievable heights. Also, he is
constantly injured. |
