yeah i've read the book before my dude. but am i suggesting, at the beginning of this dude's semester, that he just power through it and write the essay instead of taking the whole semester?

no, i'm suggesting that, because he fucked up and waited til the last minute, he's better off just reading it and getting barely anything out of it than turning to /lit/ to do his homework for him.

is it really that hard to formulate a short description of something you've devoted hours to? especially with actual narratives

holy shit, i was thinking about writing a short story with a fairly similar plot to this.

mine was based off of a lynching in bleeding kansas and the surrounding investigation, with chapters organized by each character's activities on the days before, of and following the murder, non-chronologically. actors would be finder, coroner, mother (of the pathologist's children, not of the deceased), search party, accused, and guilty. final chapter starts with the names of the deceased, the only ones mentioned throughout the story.

i'm not going to write it, though, because fuck that.
