It's a good meme.

If you're 16 to 20 you'll think it's extremely deep. If you're a bit jaded you'll think it's trite crap aimed at teenagers.

Some good parts, don't focus too much on Haller's character, instead focus more on the possibility of transcendence later in the book.

I'm a high school English teacher, I teach in an economically deprived part of Auckland with a lot of the obvious social problems that come with this (gang culture is particularly prevalent). My year 13 class (17-18) has been looking at themes of marginalisation initially through the lens of Trump and his rhetoric. They each developed an analysis of the Warsan Shire poem 'Home' after this which they seemed to enjoy (I'm aware that it's quite accessible even if it's not really to my taste). I'm hoping you can give me some recommendations for a short text which the class can engage with next. As long as it can sit fairly comfortably under the umbrella of 'ideas of marginalisation' I would consider it. It would be great if it seems to emerge out of discussions we have been having about stereotypes, a growing intolerance towards migrants presently, and the idea of 'home' being an important element in the construct of identity.

Thanks /lit/ !

Listen, I haven't been on /lit/, or 4chan in general, for a long time so I'm not sure what you're on about. I am genuinely looking for recommendations of short texts for my class. Why would I carefully explain myself and write all that just to trigger you. So could anyone else please help me out?

Hi there!
I want to get into making comics, but my i feel like my storytelling skills are rather weak.
Could you recommend me some resources where i can learn about character development, storytelling etc.?

SVA has a Narative program now, aimed at comic book authors, video game narative writers, and the like. I know the head, Nathan Fox. Cool guy, he's been doing comic books for quite some time. If you want to study somewhere, I highly recommend his program, as it won't just be drawing, it's a fully integrated art+narrative program.

But I think you should also really ask yourself if you want to be the story guy and the art guy. Most people don't do both, except in fringe cases, generally the more experimental or avant garde stuff.

As far as storytelling goes, anything you can find on writing novels should be applicable to other mediums. Same goes for screenwriting resources.

I find it difficult to find a comfortable position to read in. I usually read at least 45 minutes - an hour before bed, and I lay on my side, switching sides every few pages until I fall asleep. Now during the day, I can never find a comfortable way to read, and I don't like getting into bed during the day.

Fun is not the right word.
I love the movie The Thin Red Line, I don't think I would describe it as fun either.

I'm not sure what the right word is though.

tl;dr fun is just a buzzword
