/lit/ - Literature

The worst thing was that 'alternative' girl who'd always take the most banal sentence and derive at a completly unrelated conclusion, and jack her ego off, making it seem as if she's the most brilliant mind, next to /lit/'s big three.
As if it isn't most important to get the idea behind the books, they rather get the book behind the idea, that is, they expand on basic ideas that should tie to the grand idea, instead of tieing these ideas to the grand idea.
The life of the author is also something that can have big and obvious influence on a writer (Kafka, for example) but sometimes a single event is maginfied to the point of absurdity, making it seem that a coffee stain was the grand idea behind Rimbaud or something.
That's why I always kept quiet during analysis, and write my interpertation as if I never wanted to have anything with the others.

Off tanget here, and /lit/'s probably say I'm doing a humble brag, but I once ended an essay with an argument for suicide and my classmates were horrified, 'How could you?' -- 'That is really offensive.' -- 'Why do you need to be so bleak.' but the teacher gave me the best grade.

I don't know where this is going, I just never spoke to anyone that truly had passion for literature, that wasn't superficial.
