>Implying I'm going to learn Japanese so I can read Kokoro

No thanks. I enjoyed it just fine without all that hassle.

>the people at the top must be innately more gifted because that's the world you'd like to live in.

I don't think it can be argued that those of the upper class are more valuable than the dregs of the lower class. People aren't equal, sonny. Tyrone the cracksmoking McDonald's employee is not equal to Bill Gates.

Before I say anything else, let me soothe the collective ego of /lit/ and say that I don't consider myself a better writer than anyone else here.

OP, people have been calling me a fucking wordsmith since something like fifth grade. I think I know why, and it's not because I'm necessarily gifted.

I think it's because, like you(?), I don't really pay attention to the conventions of language that they taught us in grammar school. What I mean by this, is that back in fourth grade when they were teaching us to write an essay the same way we make a hamburger (OKAY CLASS, THE INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH IS LIKE THE TOP BUN, etc.) I just sort of mostly disregarded that shit.

I don't really know how grammar works on the scientific level that it seems like /lit/ or an english professor might. I don't know what a participle is, or how to use an adverb correctly. But at the same time, I never had a problem with those "pick out the incorrect sentence" tests we used to have to take either.

I can just sort of look at a sentence, and I just know whether or not there's something wrong with it. Even if it's not mechanically incorrect, I can usually rewrite it or change it slightly to give it a better impact or more gravitas. I'm just good at conveying the point that the reader needs to get.

I think the reason people believe I'm talented or gifted or whatever is because, not really knowing the rules, I just disregard them and write what feels good. Teachers especially, I assume, find this refreshing, because it's not the same rehashed, formulaic shit they normally have to read over and over all day.

Or maybe I'm just pretentious and full of shit.

I hope that helps! Don't get molested.

>white people usually represent Universities and Families.

The street they're representing is generally the street they grew up on--everyone they've ever known, generally, lives in their neighborhood. They're representing their families and whatever else in the same manner as the whites and asians you mentioned--they just have different terminology for it.


Are you really so stupid that you couldn't make that connection yourself? Do you really think that they're, what, attempting to secede from the rest of the city or something? You're fucking dumb, OP.

I have several friends. Like, at least 3.

You haven't contributed anything useful to any discussion I've seen on /lit/ past obvious hole-picking. You say the things that everyone thinks, then rejects in favour of something better. Pointing out the flaws in a magic Kindle? You had nothing of more value to post?

Also, you have a folder of individually named pictures of Joseph Gordon Levitt. You're putting too much effort into this and it shows.
