It's the Eggers forward. No big deal.

It was an honest question, anon. I'm thinking about reading it since I finished Dublinees this weekend.

Because it assigns a human body part to each chapter.

"One" is singular; "one in twelve workers" is not.

Q: How many WERE unemployed?
A: One in twelve.

Q: How many WAS unemployed?
A: Don't speak to me, you filthy unlettered degenerate. Go back to your dirty European country, and speak the language of that country, not this one, you immigrant.

one worker in twelve was unemployed

>>7782672

First, you should say 'one' instead of '1' since you want to spell out such a small number (less than 10). This goes double if it's at the beginning of a sentence. (You can go with '1' if it's a headline.)

With that, the subject is 'one' (with 'in 12 workers' serving to modify it), so verb agreement requires 'was'.

>The first one seems grammatically correct, but the second one sounds nicer
I suppose one could make a case for this, but some would definitely disagree.

It's for plebs who want to feel smart. Trash.

Work on syntax, imagery, originality. Try to draw from intense personal experience.

"Tiles of white looking vomit"

This conjures absolutely nothing in my mind. Vomit is never white, unless you just drank a ton of milk. Terrible comparison

It all works.

start with the greeks

By not caring about it. The more you try to overcome something, the more you let the thing in question control you.
For example, a person who constantly wants to be socially-accepted by society will work day in and day out to conform to his peers, making himself miserable. However, if the man stops caring altogether about whether or not he fits in, the psychological tension is alleviated.

In other words, man often makes psychology problems for himself by associating with meanings in his mind. Let go of those things and you'll no longer be troubled by them.
