No, I'm pretty certain you're just a fucking moron.

Also, though I loved that Shakespeare wrote a play commenting on racism in his time period, since legal segregation would continue for another 400 years, I still loved Macbeth more, because it reinforces the idea of, though the man is the head of the house, the woman is the neck. I find Lady Macbeth's incredible influence over her husbands decisions simply hilarious. However, Hamlet was his bets play, hands down. I love that existential shit.

Personally, I don't feel like sexual preference has any influence on literature choice. I'm heterosexual and my favorite author of all time was quite homosexual (Oscar Wilde). Pic related, it's the greatest author of all time.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!
/lit/ is NOT A HOMEWORK BOARD. STOP ASKING US TO DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK. DO IT YOURSELF YOU LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL FUCK.

Well played, sir.

The Picture of Dorian Gray-Oscar Wilde

The Passage-Justin Cronin

Can anyone tell me the title of that work by John Steinbeck with barely any plot or character development, and is instead filled with multiple-page descriptions of inconsequential details?

Brighton Rock-Grahm Greene. It's not "locked in a house", but it's a wonderfully written mystery set in 1930's England. Very good read, keeps you guessing until the last page.

Oscar Wilde

Oh my god I love MASH

Or this is you...I'm not sure if you're an idiot like Gangstalicious or a deranged biased lunatic like Uncle Ruckus

If you can't read past a name, I feel very sorry for you (and you shouldn't be on a literature board...you seem too easily distracted to read anything of literary merit-are you a twilight fan?). Also-I never asked for the "tripfag defense force", because that would negate my point (nice going, ass holes). But I digress. I never claimed to be a rainbow riding unicorn, or any exception to anything. If you gague the individual tripfags by the content they post and not by the fact that they're tripfags, you'll realize that they're as equally divided as anons are. tl;dr, you're a dumbass. pic related: it's you

Everyone in The Pearl & Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck). Also-the Nihilist cult in Vera, or the Nihilists (Oscar Wilde)

Read it, write in arguments against the angsty commentary in your copy, donate back to the thrift shop, let someone else read it, answer back, etc.

Absolutely not. There are tripfags that blatantly do so for the attention (much like in your picture), but it is ridiculous to lump every single tripfag into that category. Personally, I started trip-ing BECAUSE of the stupid shit I've seen tripfags doing. I want to prove that a name is no basis to judge someone's intellectual merit on. Have you ever seen me post anything stupid or seteryotipcally "tripfag-ish"? Don't lump us all into one category, because we aren't all the same. Just like different anons, there are different tripfags. There are intelligent anons and dumbshit anons. Equally so, there are intelligent tripfags and dumbshit tripfags.

I still don't understand the hate for all tripfags. Shouldn't we just hate the ones that post stupid shit? Kinda like Stagolee?

Hatchet (and its subsequent sequels)-Gary Paulsen
Actually-anything by Gary Paulsen. He wrote one novel (I can't remember the name) about trying to survive in the wild during his first Ididerod. Very cool stuff.

The use of pictures emphasizes the story. If the pictures were not there, it would still tell a story, you moronic shit.

>>1181669
If you take away the pictures (obviouslly you're distracted by bright colors-I hear they have pills for ADD now), it IS told in prose. Get your shit together, you stupid pile of shit.

It is a novel in the most technical sense of the term. A novel is a long narrative in literary prose. That is the definition of a novel. Go die in a fire.

It's probably one of the best shows on television. I love that Aaron McGruder has no problem attacking problems in today's society head on, without giving a shit whom he offends in the process :)

Why not. Any boondocks fans here?
