Watch The Odyssey miniseries that aired on NBC in the 90's. That shit was dope.

Thanks. I will.

https://chs.harvard.edu/CHS/article/display/5576 is a good look into the concept of the hero itself.

Yes.
There's been research that proves women and men are treated differently from birth, in how they are nursed, breastfeeded, raised, taught, taught to play, etc. We are trained to play these roles which we're given, what that implies varies from society to society and epoch to epoch.

It isn't an outright rejection of biology, Beauvoir realizes that the most radical difference between the sexes: the capacity to give birth, is what originally determined the position that each of these roles should occupy in society. But these positions, this infrastructure, is maintained by society, we aren't programmed from birth to act them, we're trained to do so.

No she is not, mostly genders arise from distinct biological differences. A sulky woman can always be nurtured with a sweet treat while a man will commit suicide. These things are biological as much as born out of socialization.

The answer is that you are born to be what you are. You might grow but you cannot grow out of what you physically are.

i got my mother-in-law "the name of the rose" for her birthday last week. she's an episcopal priest who wrote a dissertation on medieval mystics. good choice or no?

>>9932342

It'd only be a bad choice if she's read it already. But if she hasn't it sounds like it was literally written for her.
>she's an episcopal priest who wrote a dissertation on medieval mystics.
I mean come on this is so perfect it feels like a ruse.

The author is fat, lazy, wrote himself into a knot that he's not good enough to figure out properly, and is depressed because a TV show is finishing it before him.

I don't know what the message is. I'm visiting from /tv/ and procrastinating writing a pre-quiz for my students tomorrow. I will say that I've read a lot of Hemingway and that this is my favorite work of his. I cried when I read it the first time.

Here's my honest opinion:

Oh, my good lord in heaven. Cut your line, land your boat and go to McDonald's! Just as in the case of The Great Gatsby, I understand the book. Yes, I know it changed the way American writers write. I also understand that it celebrates the ridiculous American idea that you're only a REAL man if you've done something entirely purposeless, but really dangerous, in pursuit of making yourself look like the bull with the biggest sexual equipment. Get over it, already! Go home and clean out the refrigerator, or wash the curtains, or vacuum under the furniture. Pick your kids up from school or take your daughter bra shopping. THAT would impress me. Being too dumb to cut your fishing line? Not the mate I would pick...

The only bright spot about the book is if you think of it on a metaphorical level: there is a point at which ALL of us must grit our teeth and hold on in the face of despair. That is the definition of life. However, if that's the point, then the plot situation needs to be one of necessity (like the shipwreck in Life of Pi), instead of stubbornness

Solid book, and I think makes a very strong case for Hemingway's economical lexicon. God, I just realized its been just shy of a decade since I read this.

Yes, Yes, No.
