Det. Bart Lasiter Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Read Orwell for all of your essay-writing skills. He's written them on everything... from "the perfect pub" (which, I believe, the Wetherspoons chain of pubs in Britain are based on...) to the nature of the essay itself. Shooting an Elephant <3 Orwell: a man with a scary ability to see into the future; Terry Eagleton just won't do as a replacement ;_; Did he write essays about what it's like to be a body part in the first person like in Fight Club?

Pavlos Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Did he write essays about what it's like to be a body part in the first person like in Fight Club? Nope. Fight Club wins on that front. Then again, when doesn't Fight Club win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Nope. Fight Club wins on that front. Then again, when doesn't Fight Club win?When douchebag emo high school kids watch it and take it as some sort of ultimate philosophy that makes them superior to the rest of us because they "believe" in it (wears off after a few months).

Inyri Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Fight Club is so fail it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel_Ewok Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This *is* kinda funny, but I don't think my honours English teacher would be very amused.... Uhm... What was the paper supposed to be about anyway....? (the topic assigned?) Did I miss it? Are you seriously even considering handing that in?

Pavlos Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Oh, we're getting there... Especially with Mr. Broon's 'Britishness' lessons. What a splendid idea it is to disregard independent thought and salute the flag. What exactly are we to teach, anyway? "How to Discuss the Weather For Beginners" and "Elementary Empire Building and How to Feel Ashamed of it 200 Years Later"? Fight Club is so fail it's not even funny. Well I'll just have to go and cry in a corner then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litofsky Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That essay was... okay for regular English, but not Honors. It had a decent basis, but I felt like you could have added more detail in some places, and used better vocabulary. Although frankly I really hope his paper just sucks, or I'll lose all faith in education. Quote You'd be better off psychologically to give up now. Modern education is designed to make people as ignorant as possible in as wide a field as possible, it seems... : / for You let your public education system become as deplorable as ours and then say that. truth.

Arcesious Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 You let your public education system become as deplorable as ours and then say that. Certainly most of the educaion system we have in this country is horrible, but you have to admit that in some places they actually have good schools... I, for one, love mine...
