i am never going to finish these discussion questions for TAing tomorrow
someone give me thought provoking shit to talk about for sonny's blues and notes on a native son
why is sonny blue and who is the natives sons father
Man I remember reading native son.
1a) because he's off heroin
1b) because he's black
2) a black preacher who love/hated his son, who love/hated him in return
i would like the discussion to be more than "so, black people, harlem renaissance"
only the nerdy kids will answer your questions and they are losers
ask how many words are in the books, if you read those words the answer should be obvious. if someone doesn't answer right they cheated and deserve 0
But yeah this shit has officially gotten weird. This random ass delusional homeless dude comes up to me telling me about how he has 12 identities and theyre all billionaires and how he's humble so he just goes out at night to help people (though he did help about like a dozen people in the 40 or so minutes I was talking to him, or rather listening to him talk). Then walks into the starbucks and asks for a job application because despite his amazing riches he doesnt want to be famous and would rather repair the broken ipod touches he ebays because that's his real passion. He then said he could teach me how to speak spanish because I told him I understand it but dont speak it and how we could make a real business out of a hundred dollars. He then told me that god sent him to find someone tonight and I was that person and offered me some arroz con habichuelas negra, which I must say looked really good.
Crazy people are losing their touch on reality. It's sad that the gold man is the most sane person I've met through my late night hobo walks.
it usually goes like this
ask question
blank stares
ok, let me rephrase the question
the same kid who is trying too hard says something that only poses more questions without answering the original one, and everyone starts arguing about his answer, and i watch the clock to see how fast time is progressing
So how many words are in the book?
Guy had more shit on him than I did, that's for sure. Like 12 ipod touches and about 3 macbook airs, all of them looked refurbed.
you know whats weird
my shakespeare seminar, we're told exactly how many lines are in each play, which characters have how many lines, how many "new words" are in each play, how often shakespeare reuses words from play to play, and i think to myself, wow way to not make reading fun guys
oh, and exams? we get random lines from random plays, have to tell him the character who says it, then the act and the scene it occurs in in the play
super
Within 2 minutes of meeting the guy he told me to meet him at his place I was like "whoa son nah that aint me".
Spam has helped me black it up when necessary, a helpful tool in the battle against the night.
how old are these kids mert?
When I read 1984 the test on it was fairly easy except for the parts where you were given a small quote and had to say who said it and where they were. I got it wrong and all these years later all that I remember was it was in a house. If there is a house with a secret place in it that was the part but I think my memory may have been filled 90% falsehoods by now.
so you are each playing teacher for each other
are you allowed to act like a kid and pick on the loser kids while the play teacher isn't looking
