What do you need specifically analyzed out of the sentence?

>>8499129
So if X person leaves Y person won't call the police. seems simple to me. Probably needs a few commas though.

>>8499129
Are you supposed to do something like:
If you leave now and never come back, I give you my word, we won't phone the police.
And the. You talk about why you added the commas or something?

You clearly don't really give a fuck or are passionate about the people in there, so I wouldn't reccomend it.

You sound like an ass hole but also a terrible writer

Only if you're willing to actually undergo addiction and then treatment. If you are in the halfway house for legitimate reasons it gives you a moral clearance to write about it. Hunter S. Thompson did meth with bikers and wrote about it. You're gonna have to do a lot more than meth.

Might I suggest bath salts?

>>8499101
>let me do bath salts to write about people I don't give a fuck about because I want to be a tired hunter s tompson rip off

This is honestly great advice.

Look too deeply into yourself and eventually you aren't gonna like what you find.

Always thought it was fate cuz it fits the story perfectly.

This is above average bait. I still won't help you do your homework though.

Oedipus Rex is a classic tragedy by the criteria defined by Aristotle. That is, the character traits that raise the hero to greatness are the same that doom him to disaster.

For a modern day equivalent, see Better Call Saul.

>It is easier to understand if you think of it in terms of music. Sometimes a man enjoys a symphony. Elsetimes he finds a jig more suited to his taste.

>The same holds true for lovemaking. One type is suited to the deep cushions of a twilight forest glade. Another comes quite naturally tangled in the sheets of narrow beds upstairs in inns. Each woman is like an instrument, waiting to be learned, loved, and finely played, to have at last her own true music made.

>Some might take offense at this way of seeing things, not understanding how a trouper views his music. They might think I degrade women. They might consider me callous, or boorish, or crude.

>But those people do not understand love, or music, or me.

lmfao

i can only if it is kinda repetitve and ambient-ish
anyone who reads listening to classical is a fucking tool

I enjoy reading the lotr universe to Bathory.

Scarcity and memes.

>>8498985
Because people will actually pay that much. I found a copy at a library booksale in meh condition and sold it for $75

>>8498992
But what if I actually want to read it ?

Same age and I think it would be fun in general. I don't have the same insecurities, but I feel ya. I'd be the cool teacher with tattoos and band shirts and an impressive literary repertoire and students and my peers alike would want to bang left and right but I'd be way to busy grading papers with valuable feedback and interest.

>>8498974
I'd wanna teach kids. The fucks in high school are ruined already. Read Shakespeare to 6th graders.

>>8498974
If you aren't in school already, I recommend you do a school that gets you into the classroom early into the degree. One of my exes chose her college in part by this criteria, and from what I understand it worked well for her. She wasn't student teaching until she was a senior, but she was a classroom assistant who taught occasionally her sophomore year, and she figured out pretty quickly that it was definitely the job for her from that. Others dropped out at that point, but at least they weren't seniors figuring out they hate their work.
Also if you go teach in Alaska or an inner-city school you can get your debt paid off.

>Seems like all that arose from his work was more questions, rather than answers.
that doesnt mean its wrong in the slightest

>>8498721
/his/ has far superior philosophy discussion so it should remain there

>>8498721
/his/ is for history and the containment of armchair philosophers. I guess /lit/ is too but here nobody tries to convert you to Catholicism.

>>8498727
I never see any philosophy threads on /his/

>>8498688
Haven't read that but listened to Serial. It is well put together and worth a listen in a way that I think wouldn't work as well in a book. They have original audio from interviews and things like that.

>>8498688
The Serial podcast essentially consists of some kid murdering a girl and a liberal woman and the kid's family trying their hardest to cobble together a story about how he somehow didn't do it and the best explanation she can come up with at the end is that the crime was instead committed by a SERIAL killer

It's a solid ride, but at the end you are just left with nothing, there are no new revelations, no resolutions of any kind, just a feeling of slight confusion and contempt for everyone involved

Also the woman is sort of appalling as a person and a bad reporter since she straight up starts falling in love with the kid by talking with him over the phone and starts going full "he's such a nice guy he could NEVER do anything bad!"

>>8499674
pretty much this, you're a fool if you believe he didn't do it.

siddhartha

Which sect of Buddhism are you most interested in?

>>8498708
based on the pic, i'd say theravada

Nice Schmidt, mate.

Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs, Camus's The Rebel, and Kafka's The Castle since I'm trying to read works I've put off a long time.

I wish you could use your Amazon account to order from the German Amazon. I want to try Adorno in German even though I'm still learning.

My to-read list is easily in the hundreds, but I'll name just a few that are on deck as of right now.

Wallerstein - The Modern World-System, Vol. I: Capitalist Agriculture and the Origins of the European World-Economy in the Sixteenth Century

The Divine Comedy (re-read)

Gide - The Immoralist

Monmonier - How to Lie with Maps

Maugham - Of Human Bondage
