/lit/ - Literature

Hey fellow writers and editors,
I'm currently writing a big scene for my final senior writing project in which my main character kills her dog by throwing its leash over a tree and strangling it.
Any advice on good, powerful, fucked up, or sensory details to add will be greatly appreciated.
yes, this story is going for a little shock value

thanks a lot, it's okay though, a lot of people hate on me on here because i use a tripcode, i just don't want that to cloud your judgement of me is all.

i hope you enjoy your stay here, we're one of the more on-topic boards i think, maybe because we're slower but i can't promise that's the reason.

that's just the way it is D&E

To the OP:
Eagleton's book is pretty well written though i thought he was too opinionated and bias towards certain segments. He also likes to write a lot of obvious things...

i would also suggest
An Introduction To Literature Criticism and Theory (th edition is the newest) by Bennett and Royle, for hands down one of the best BEGINNER criticism and theory books i've ever read.
