Don't be a pseud, my sixth form quote was "This is Me in High School" -My name

I thought and still think it'll pay off when someone asks to see my yearbook and as I open it I'll say "This is me in high school" then they read the quote and we have small laugh. No one's going to think you're smart for putting in a philosophy or literature quote. The opening lines from notes from the underground maybe? Still, pretty lame. It's only a step above generic inspirational or trying to be funny/meme quotes.

Jesus Christ, you're unapologetically a retard. What a boorish reason you must have come to /lit/ for; I pity you like one pities a dying animal. Read high school level books that are short and prose: The Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men, Animal Farm, Christmas Carol. I would also recommend you read academic papers as well as they often make good use of applying grammar and advanced punctuation. Honestly, I can't even fathom how an adult English speaker would even be in such a predicament unless they legitimately had a low intelligence level. Please do educate yourself you fucking nigger.

>Well you see Anon, it is quite clear that Raskolnikov's life the can be compared to the
conditions in which Dostoevsky wrote Crime and Punishment: Dostoevsky
was also in great poverty and debt, desperate to ward off the ever-present
threat of debtor’s prison. He accepted three thousand roubles from an
unscrupulous publisher, Stellovky, on the condition that he wrote “a novel of
no fewer than twelve signatures to be published by him[Stellovky], and [if] I
don’t deliver it by November I, 1866, Stellovsky, is allowed to publish, [for]
free, as he pleases, anything I write, without any remuneration for me at all.”
Here we can see the parallel between reality and fiction as Dostoevsky
condition reflects Raskolnikov; both are hopelessly stricken by debt and
poverty. This perhaps could be the meaning behind Dostoevsky’s strange
narrative style, where despite being completely in a third-person omniscient
perspective, the focus remains on Raskolnikov and his psyche, as
Dostoevsky initially began to write the first draft of Crime and Punishment in a
first-person perspective, further supporting Dostoevsky’s connection with
Raskolnikov and his circumstances.
