I saw one of my lit professors was talking about Ambrose Bierce in another one of his classes the other day.

Rob a store
Fuck a whore
Do the time
Blame whitey for your crimes, repeat

That's all you niggers do
I still hate all you spooks and your dirty feet
Now you want to start a movement that berates the boys in blue for doing their job
Fucking niggers, looks like you just made it easier for us to form a lynch mob

Gather all your baboon faces from your baboon places
And we'll get our AKs and have our way
When the race war comes, we'll end it all in the matter of a single day
Triple K
That's who you're fucking with
White might is not a great myth
We'll hang you niglets on the strongest of the widths
And we won't have to hear your BLM bullshit
-Christopher "moot" Poole

What did he mean by this?

Hello $chan Literature, its is me, FatherDoubles. Let's have a discussion on my favorite book, Gravity's Rainbow.

The way Pynchon can spin a character around is great and phenomenall. My favorite character in this book would be Jason , and int he chapter when he goes into his friends house to talk about the milititary plans is both a supporting of Absurdity and postmodernism hilarity. I found it hilarious. But, as with usual, this only ,y opinion.

Please post in this chat you favorite chapter of the book that you did read and laugh while reading. Thanks and advance. Let;s keep it civil!

What does /lit/ think of contemporaries such as Zadie Smith, Dave Eggers, and Jon Franzen? I never see any discussion of them on here, and I'm still building up a more classical literary base, but eventually I want to have someone I can talk to my friends about.

Opinions on the above authors mentioned, or other suggestions of contemporary authors that aren't ~~utter trash~~?

Sorry to dump this stuff on you, /lit/.

I'm a fairly /lit/erate person, I'm not an idiot when it comes to writing (I do freelance for a paper, actually) and at my uni we're having a big assignment soon. I have to compare Romeo and Juliet to To Kill A Mockingbird by how the two contrast in the themes of fear and hope or love and desperation. Romeo and Juliet is easy, but TKAM? Literally nothing happens!

TL;DR I need some ideas for a comparative essay, help me, I beg of you.

>>7642261
Just mention how both TKAM and R&J present situations concerning hope in the face of the inevitable. TKAM has Tom Robinson, the black man accused of rape during a time when there was an enormous stigma against black people, with zero hope of ever being proclaimed innocent, while Romeo and Juliet fall in love and try to keep their affair going despite the mounting angers of both families. Both eventually climax in a permanent end, a death (of Robinson and Romeo/Juliet) voiding the entire story, ending the hope.
