submit a redpill rant slamming your prof for being a major jew , if you are lucky he'll be so awed by your massive balls he'll have no choice but to give you an A+

>>9389841
It's a reflection paper right? Maybe you can insert lots of pseudo academic buzzwords about the proud mehicans. Also throw in some white guilt just to be safe.

>>9389867
That was definitely the plan, I just needed a vague idea of what happens to one of the families to go off of.

I'll edit your stuff for $10 per page.

Editors are for pointless, either every word has been calculated and changing it would be perverting it or it isn't worth publishing.

when you write for faggots but for faggots doesn't quite give the right idea so you try to change it and fuck up

The last line doesn't even make much sense and is seemingly nonsensical in relation to the rest of the novel.

I don't know why it's famous, frankly. At least the opening paragraph was relevant to the text.

I gathered that Gatsby was stuck in the past and building up his possible union with Daisy into some amazing thing that, right when it looked like he would he able to achieve it, he was forced away from his goal (purposefully vague here to avoid spoiler). But yeah it was an unsatisfying final line. A car metaphor might have worked better or even a jazz music metaphor, but not a boat one especially there weren't any boats in the book so far as I remember)

Are you memeing? It's about nostalgia, which is incredibly important to the text.

"Thank you for your submission. We regret to inform you...."

"...that we could find no discernible talent."

"Thus, we will have to reject your novel, 'A Supposedly Good Old Infinite King of the System'"

Yeah.

You give up reading. You're not a reader, and you never were. It's not a bad thing; most people are not readers.

Just give up the pretense.

>tfw when you want to read Sons & Lovers but your dryer squeaks too loud and your gf is watching Once Upon a Time on full volume to try and combat the dryer

how the fuck can you watch mind numbing shit like anime? maybe some people are just born pseuds

>>9389393
not necessarily. You want it to though, right? That way you have excuses for why you'll never amount to anything other than a frogposting faggot who laments the existence of women and black people online and spends the rest of his time rinsing out his piss-bottles in between anime episodes and binge 'vidya' playing

You can write some pseudo-intellectual, suburbanite slop like Franzen or DFW and gain notoriety among all the other "learned" white people.

kill yourself

Yeah they're worth it, Kindle Paperwhite is the best.
Now fuck off.
Faggot.
Oh yeah and kill yourself

I just went to campus and oh my god they're all barefoot or wearing sandals

Walking through the field in front of the dorms was like taking the beach on D-Day, thousands of feet, millions of feet, I saw up a girl's skirt and went for a second look before I even realized what I was doing. I don't know how I got out of there alive

Money, space, eterosexuality

I have hands.

The gimmick furnature of yesteryear has since been discarded as impractical and a sham.

Not sure if that's a good reason, so please validate me, OP. I can't live without your approval.

Get the one from New Directions it has a variety of translations plus the original French

Richard Howard's is good, pretty much because it's the only one that doesn't attempt to rhyme in translation.

William Aggeler has the most accurate, literal translations, but his book is out of print. Library might have it though.

Other translators really take a lot of liberty with the ideas going on. I would stay away from everything else.

>>9389118
get one in whatever romance language you can read

if you cant read at least one romance language youre a pleb

Ship of Fools - Richard Paul Russo.
That's the closest I've found, and it's not all that close.

Previous works. "Starfish" is really good.
"Solaris" by Lem.

Ronald Dal was an jewish-hating anti-semitisist.

>>9389038
so he was redpilled as fuck like the redpill teaches? you have to respect redpilled beliefs because their objectively true and women just can't understand them because their driven by emotions and not logic like white men
