>I can't even start because you fundamentally misunderstand he point of literature
What point? Is there a correct way to read stories? I wasn't aware that there was one specifically correct way to read a story and glean the right analysis from it. Is anyone who doesn't subscribe to this correct way of reading literature objectively wrong? If so, tell me, because for all I know maybe you're telling the truth. Go ahead and take as many posts as you need to explain it to me, because I'm more than willing to admit I'm wrong.

>you need to re-teach yourself how to read
This is your biggest problem. You tell me that I'm wrong, but you never explain why I'm wrong. Your posts have no substance. They're all claims and no structured argument. You criticize me for beinf ignorant or wrong, but make no attempt to explain HOW or WHY. In fact, this is so prevalent in your posts, looking back you can spot them:

>you're completely incapable of reading literature
>d you even attend high-school? This sort of thing should have been covered in your 9th or 10th grade English class. Unless you have High Functioning Autism.
> Did you even read the book or are you just going off Sparknotes? The book is about dealing with grief and the loss of innocence.
> can't even start because you fundamentally misunderstand the point of literature.

If you claim that I don't know what I'm talking about at all, that's great. PROVE ME WRONG. Don't just attack me for being retarded, or make assumptions that I ever read the book or went through high school, or "fundamentally misunderstand the point of literature," whatever the fuck that is in your purview.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but provide some structured argument. You just look stupid if all you do is claim stuff but never actually even ATTEMPT to back it up.

> advise to you pick up "How to Read and Why" by Harold Bloom,
> try to audit a basic introductory class on literature at your nearby community college.
This is the only point you provided which has any value to it, since you're suggesting ways I can improve on what you believe is my "reading problem." I won't do the later because I don't have the time, but I'll look into the former in my campus library. In the best case scenario, it turns out that I need to seriously reconsider the way I read and dessiminate plots and information, and you were right all along. At the very least, maybe I'll learn something that can bolster my reading skill that I didn't know about before.
