fuck the meaning. What is the short story called?

>>1701115
fuck if i know, just a story about a chinese immigrant who was staying with white tenants that had differences in terms of culture, dragons for example: his tenants think dragons are monsters, however the china man never thought of them that why but more mythological creatures in their culture. this was in the story too obviously). its high school shit, they're supposed to have symbolic meanings however i never got the door part.

I think it might be about on a brave face. So that when you are falling apart on the inside, you can't let it show. That's the most obvious one, without really thinking about it.

It's a metaphor for her ending that chapter of her life and moving on. It might also mean that she's in denial but prolly not.

two things:

1) she maintains her own sense of control in the face of catastrophe

2) she puts the past firmly behind her

thanks /lit/, hendricks in return.

old habits die hard. i.e. locking a door when you leave.

fuck critical analysis.

Sounds like a cool story though.

make it be about rituals, sanctuary and the relationship between privacy and intimacy. write it with feminist jargon.

>>1701115

I wanna know, now. :( Guess it's time to raid Google for some infos.

You idiot piece of female scum. He/she read it. He/she is not writing it. For fuck's sake. Idiot.

Death to all tripfags.

If you find it, post link here. I'm the one that posted >>1701115 and am too lazy to google-fu myself.

So far, no luck. Can only go so far with "chinese woman locks door short story", or some stupid variation of it. Not really much to go by.

so dumb i can't even begin

>>1703520
NOt really, he's just pointing out that OP is not writing an essay or whatever while you thought he/she was

>>1703529
so dumb but i can begin at least.

i'm speaking to people who are trying to give explanations, and in this way their explanations are stories. implicit is the disregard for all questions pertaining to what the story really is about and such ideological notions and it's supposed to be a funny post. you fucks can't even get a joke.

>>1703520
No, you're so dumb you can't begin. Anyone with half a brain can begin. Learn2english, beyotch!

>>1703536
It's not that guy's fault you don't konw how to make a joke, sorry

>>1703536
>>1703536
Hard to get a joke that isn't there. It's just that when anyone points your obvious mental disability or disagrees with you that it becomes a joke for the purpose of saving face. Also, it seems that anyone that disagrees with you is stupid. And the degree of their stupidity seems to affect your ability to "begin".

>>1703539
i think it's funny and that's enough. silence.

>>1703544
If you're the only one who's gonna laugh, then keep it to yourself.

>>1703544
If that was enough, Dane Cook would be funny. Yet he isn't. Your argument is invalid. Not a big surprise considering you're a woman.

>>1703551
nope. no such demand.

>>1703550
your post would be better either by being shorter or by being way longer. try harder or not try at all given your obvious mediocrity.

>>1703567
2 vs 1. You already lost. Only responding because you might be dumb enough to think you won in case I didn't. Fucking tripfags piss me off.

>>1703584
bbbut you're a tripfag 0_o

>>1703591
Yeah, but ironically. Self-loathing is not a new concept either. :D

>>1703591
typical anon post.

A penny saved is worth two in the bush.

>>1703617
depends on the cost of extraction. choose your methodology of modeling to respond to the actual problem, then, we may assume that the two pennies be distributed randomly in the bush. the marginal cost per coin discovered would then depend on the parameters of the bush topology and that we do not know. so your shit is undefined.

And, don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen.
