Wow, that's a pretty damn good analysis. Thanks, pal.

Thank you, Emily. I had a feeling it had something to do with a woman's lock of hair, but I was not sure.

I swear this isn't for school. I've already finished my English class. This is just out of curiosity because I'm obsessed with funerals, but I don't get this poem.

200. The Funeral

WHOEVER...

Hate to burst your bubble, but leaves don't store glucose in the form of glycogen.

It's not a book, but you should definitely read The Doctrine of Fascism by Mussolini. I swear by that work.

You have a sick, twisted mind.

You can call me what you like, but I say **** the masses. I just steer clear of anything with an Oprah logo on it.

Boo hoo. Poor commercial fiction writers. Some people spend years mastering the writing of literature and suffer poor sales while these hacks like King make cash off appealing to the dumb side of...

Amen, brother.

I told you I was a little kid then. I liked King back then. Over the years I've realized it was pure drivel. Comprende?

I came to this site a long while ago seeking refuge from boards where people talked about what commercial shhit they read and how amazing it is. Sadly, it's changed.

:rolleyes:

The word...

Don't be a smart aleck. You know damn well that King writes to entertain and writes with an appalling cheapness.

My AP literature book has a good chapter on this issue.

It basically boils down to this:
1. Commercial fiction is meant to entertain and not to provoke thought or leave a particularly lasting...

I read commercial literature heavily while I was in middle school.

Of Grisham:
The Partner
The Street Lawyer
A Time to Kill
The Brethren (I read this one when I was in 9th grade)

Of King:...

Yeah, but they're marked by stock characters and stupid dialogue as well as a lack of any aesthetic merit.

Commercial literature is literature meant only to entertain and to sell. There have been good commercial writers like Dickens, but those days are long gone. Grisham's dialogue is cheesy; his plots...

Commercial literature sucks. pointe a la ligne

The war wasn't about slavery, and I never said anything about owning blacks.

I'm proud of my culture and proud of Southern military leaders like Robert E Lee. If you have a problem with my race or my heritage, then too bad.

Irvine Welsh is OK, but Palahniuk is puke worthy. You'll grow out of it, kid.

The best modern writers are Philip Roth, Salman Rushdie, Russell Banks (he sort of sucks), and... I can't think of...

How the hell is my screen name culturally offensive? You have a problem with the South?

Yeah, it is. And I like the whole realistic aspect of it how Philip Carey's near-girlfriend (I forgot her name... the waitress) is a total ***** and ends up being a prostitute with venereal diseases.

Seinfeld sucks. Just not funny. Humor for tightwads.

Definitely not Anna Karenina. I would go with Of Human Bondage.

I've also read War and Peace. The book is literary perfection, whether you like it or not. There's more to it than an anti-war message. I wouldn't even label it as anti-war in the first place. The...
