I don't get it. I don't watch children cartoons.

>>8101802
Does that book even exist? Google Christam Borgannes, get nothing

>>8101824
yeah I didn't get it either. Maybe it means the book seemed juvenile? Looks like an emo teen girl.

>>8101824

> I don't watch children cartoons.

But you still felt the need to post and let others know you don't, which tells me you're hardly more mature than those who do.

>>8101840
And post in on 4chan to boot.

You are posting on a chinese finger painting reddit clone.

I thinks its saying the guy was basically an autistic neet sperg.

>>8102298
Was it a good film? :^)

>>8101865
So he cleans a lot, eh?

>>8102408

Corn = Wheat.

>>8102414

I don't get it. Does he just describe/name places, rather than going into their actual history?

>>8102419
There is a lot of description in the first chapters.

>>8102419
welcome to /lit/

>>8102383
he describes himself doing loads of mundane tasks. and he does it beautifully.

>>8102408
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

He speculates a lot about geography and the formation of natural features. He talks about the Nile for about 40 pages.

Herodotus combines history with geography, ethnography, and anthropology. His main thesis is that culture determines history.

Does anyone have the what I expected/got for this book?

Get the fuck out fagot

>>8102185
Except the ones that started with the greek.

>>8102958
It disturbs me that there are people autistic enough to unironically go through the effort of making images like that.

>>8102991
you are aware that you are on 4chan right? even though its gotten bigger in recent years its still like a half step removed from stormfront in terms of how deviant the userbase is. that level of autism is to be celebrated here

>>8102958
skim it, get to
>4chan operates off this same idea. The main userbase are "People who enjoy anime".
stopped reading right there, this is retarded, take this weebshit and go back to /a/ "le olde fagge" or whatever you think you are

>>8103019
>muh special autism clubhouse

>>8103019

/pol/ is way more deviant than stormfront

stormfront won't let you swear or use racial slurs iirc. The users are fairly polite to each other and use smileys unironically. I doubt there's as much pornography and cuck baiting. /pol/ are degenerate nazis in my opinion. More like Dylan Klebold than Tim McVeigh.

>>8103024
>getting this triggered

>>8103022
My senior year in AP Lit my friends and I made Heart of Darkness into a movie. It was complete fucking shit and hardly followed the plot at all but my god it's hilarious. At one point my 9 year old brother (who we painted black face) came out of a curtain to say "Mista Kurtz, he dead." Lmao we had a black girl in the class who didn't even mind. The teacher asked if he could show his other classes and no one even cared. Love Heart of Darkness though.

>>8103042

Is there any advantages of having taken AP english classes in high school other than the pure self discipline of it? I just took the regular level and scored high in it.

>>8102524
>Top kek

>>8103051
Well I've never gotten less than a 95% score on anything I've ever taken so I'm not the guy to ask. I suppose I can see how it would be easier in the sense of "I'm smart and can do better work when surrounded by other smart people" maybe. Don't know though.

>>8102991
>implying it takes long to make such an image,

it disturbs me that there are people that go to an anime website like 4chan and then make fun / complain about anime

>>8101833
this is why I'll probably never read Stirner.
regardless of the philosophy's inherent value, I'll just think of you shitheads the whole time.

>>8103065
Maybe not long by hopeless autist standards, sure.

>>8102552
i mean it's not that confusing, especially if you just sort of enjoy it. it's more fun on rereading i think because i wasn't trying to figure out a mystery that i now know doesn't resolve. it also helps to read it quickly, like in one sitting.

>>8103042

*steps out of the shadows*

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...

But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.

And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.

See you on the boards...

>>8103051
i just preferred the books we read in the ap class as opposed to the regular class.
passing the ap test also tested me out of entry level english at my college, but i ended up taking the entry level shakespeare class anyway so.

basically all my educational decisions have not been advantageous in the "ReAl WoRld" or whatever

>>8103051
Its expected that the students can work at a higher level so you'll be able to have better class discussions and such

>>8102237

I think this is a sort of a Tlon Uqbar Orbus Tertius scenario.

>>8102469

>>8103080
I understood the novel but the "what I got" is pretty right cause Oedipa is completely confused throughout the novel searching

>>8101824
Why do you frecuent a forum of romantics of anime like 4chan?? Like whats the point of your post, idiot.
If like you are heterosexual but you go to homosexual sex porn videos websites and comment "guys hmm i dont get it im not gay i can't fap for this :/ XD"?

>>8103051
There's almost no brown people.

Its annoying that people post chinese cartoons in Facebook derivatives. I don't get why they don't stay on 4chan when its more their crowd

Yep. Same underlying belief that references are inherently worthwhile, much like Family Guy.

Sure, Joyce is laborious and crams a lot of stuff in there, but you have to know the work to which is alluded, and an annotated version can easily be misleading

>>8103865
In my entire time of experience at a number of participating pediatric care facilities, talks with highly renowned medical doctors and neurotherapists, as well as countless hours of non-participant visiting on anonymous “anime” image boards such as this, I have really learned a lot about autism and my ability to gain any amount of personal experience with it, much more than I had bargained for, in fact. I have found myself rolling around the boards a few times here and there, addicted in a way, reformulating a billion planes of existential and out-right philosophical grounds on which thought is founded, and became a greater voice of intellectual indignation than Max Stirner or Frederich Nietzsche could ever hope to be, in this life or another, in this plane of existence, or any lower or higher one, in all space and time, and all under and above His mighty hand. That being said, I really think it is necessary and proper to bring up the white elephant looming in the black corner of the room. I think, personally, that the introduction of the theory that meaning and unmeaning are a dual relationship in a dichotomy that nearly never find themselves transcended nor passed over each other that it is completely certain that this level of autism surely would transcend the dichotomy just as much as Al-Karkei’s severely underrated “The Birds, The Frogs, & The Mosquitoes”, in which the periwinkle pursuit of principle and persistent processes put on by people and presentation as presented to us in the post-postmodern world is clearly contorted by a false sense of right brought by the rise of the left and the onslaught of the consistently overflow of degeneracy in society and its depreciation in decadence, thus easily and laymanly giving a clear example of the meaning/unmeaning dichotomy. In conclusion, it’s abundantly clear that anyone with any amount of regular brain function would realize how fucking stupid that sounds.

I hate this fucking pasta, the corn he refers to is a metaphor you fucking retard. Julius Caesar was using the corn as an image of sociopolitical change against the backdrop of the procession of time, for the Gallic tribes, his army, and Roman society at large. An army marches on its stomach, just as a besieged city will waste its food stores away. The corn keeps growing, and the army keeps marching, and the walls keep coming down. The Gallic tribes would fight together and against each other as the seasons changed, just like political factions in Rome. Caesar was able to comment on this by using the universal truth of this important-for-war commodity as the idealized image of constancy in an ever changing world. Its a literary masterpiece.
