Oh my god. How hard is it to grasp that some people have accents that aren't American?

[Anonymous No.9064198]

>>9064160

Very hard because it requires believing that America isn't the epicentre of the world for everybody, even those who don't live in America, and that is a belief I find very hard to stomach.

The point is there is no "European accent", Europe has hundreds of accents

[Anonymous No.9064211]

>>9064160
then write "a foreigner accent". John Green kind admits with this expression that he can't differentiate accents between european people

Europeans
Africans (whites and African-American color)
The Asians (Indians, Mongolians, Japanese, etc. 2bh i can't tell the difference).

Lots of people have accents. We can't all be born in the United States and accent neutral.

"And then the Europeans started clapping European claps. All the people, all these adults, all these Europeans, just started clapping in a European way, and one European shouted "Bravo!" in a European accent. Augustus (an american), smiling, bowed like an american. Laughing, I (also american) curtsied ever so slightly, in an american fashion, which was met with another round of applause from the Europeans." -- John Green

I hate John Green and everything that he represents.

[Anonymous No.9064612]

Bravo is an italian word. Italy is in europe. So shouting it with an european accent potentially means with no accent

[Anonymous No.9064674]

>>9064211
No, it is from the perspective of a naive narrator i.e. a child that can't distinguish between accents.

Holy shit you are stupid.

[Anonymous No.9064720]

>>9064580

If you read my post then you'll have noticed I asked a question so thanks for answering.

Nothing in that quote suggests it's a kid narrating. An adult can easily refer to others adults in the same way.

Still, I'll accept I jumped the gun a bit.

Willem Dafoe plays the bitter alcoholic writer, the scene where they visit his house only for him to make fun of them and tell them to fuck off was really fun. It's almost like Green had a moment of clarity when he came up with that part.

Why do people Green-post? My library has many novels, many geared towards young females, yet I do not read them or know anything about the author, nor do i care to know. How is Green different, that all you faggots know something about him?

The point is there is no "British accent," Britain has dozens of accents.
The point is there is no "Northern accent," the North of England has multiple accents.
The point is there js no "American accent," America has scores of accents.

I did try. I tried to understand what these inbred little hamlet folk, these degenerate portly famers resembling Hobbita more than human beings, were trying to say, and I gave up and left. It's even worse in Italy, whrere in every valley the older generations speak their own language.

>Mr. Green howls with bitterly professional practical-gag mirth and clunks over and slaps little Bruce on the back so hard that Brucie expels a lime Gummi Bear he’d been eating – this too a visual memory, contextless and creepy – which arcs across the living room and lands in the fireplace’s fire with a little green siss of flame.
