Steinbeck East of Eden, the part where he talks about The Nigger, hence why I capitalized Nigger lol.

It's happened fucking twice this semester. First in Huck Finn, today with Absalom, Absalom!

...My professor seems like a nice guy, but I think he wants me dead.

He's probably still in high school

My professor was so based when it came to stuff like that. I have the distinct memory of him reading a passage from one of the texts we were reading and though it had "Nigger" in it and I thought he would hold back and simply say "the N-word" but he just straight snarled "Nigger" and I sensed how uncomfortable the other kids were but they didn't have the balls to speak out against him. I smirked.

>>9205298
blame mass education

>>9205279
Wow. Sounds uncomfortable af. But maybe your prof is trying to do something more than just grill you. Hopefully that's the case and he's not just being a dick for no reason.

Either way good job anon, hope you find it all educational.

It's a course on the 'Great American Novel'. Obviously modern criticism is harsh on it, but T.S. Eliot and his generation considered it one. It was supposed to be a mirror with Moby-Dick on how and why critic's opinions on a novel change, and to raise the question if the idea of a 'Great American Novel' is even a tenable concept given this.

>>9205307
He says it as well, but I swear he saves the most obvious passages for me, as if I were a means to shirk off his guilt of having to read those lines and keep him 'cool' for the rest of class. He's a sly son of a bitch if that's what he's doing.

>>9205327
I mean it's a great class otherwise, that's really my only problem thus far.

My professor was really impressed with my midterm paper about St. Augustine's 'City of God' philosophy and its implications in Moby-Dick.

my old Honors English IV teacher was kinda like that. Not really snarling, but he wasn't afraid to say anything that was in the book.

Was also pretty based, called the wannabe suave intellectual kid a retard in front of everyone. pic related

New game: Guess which one anon is.

My guess is that faggot on the top left, that smug fuck to the teacher's right.

That dude in the cable-knit looks like a serial killer, no joke.

>>9205411

or that smug fuck*

>I lay in bed all day waiting to sink in. Im 19, and i feel like rust, and a hallow husk with no purpose.

smug fuck is the guy he called retarded

i'm the serial killer, desu

>Tfw you're the only Nigger in your class and every time the Whites read Huck Finn in class and they come to the word Nigger, they glare in your direction as it seethes contemptuously from their lips

Oh lawdy Ai showly do fear dat class mistuh

>>9205411
you mean the one on the teacher's left (our right)? Yeah I agree, either him or the faggot with the white sweater

A black cat named Niggerman or Nigger Man?

You need to drop the Anton Chigurh cut, my dude.

>>9205386
The dude on the far right looks like he's gonna slay some good pussy one day and marry it and then raise a happy family and become a professor of economics or math.

>>9205640

I feel like wavy-hair two in from the right in the center row. looks like the kind of guy who will be able to make some connections with his mentors all the way into some cushy position at a private firm with a qt wife, a kid and two dogs.

Middle of middle row is the Chad of the class.

>>9205663
Yeah wavy-hair looks like the kind of guy who would own 2 dogs, more specifically one big one and one little one, like a poodle and a chihuaha, or a golden retriever and a yorkie.

How KEKED is your country when you gotta read a book about nigger dicks for school

>>9205411
He is the one who is being blocked by the other dude on the left side because we all know the only folks on this board are the people in literature writing courses who are rejected by the rest because they are too weird and have the most bizarre ideologies

>>9205266
>picked by professor
>to read

out loud? Is this American education? We stopped story time aged about 7 in my country

>>9205708
It's a Christie crime novel, imbecile.

>>9205708
its a popular crime book and easy enough for learners to read.

Ten little indians or something in english.

Its about 10 folks on an island dying one by one just like in a poem one character reads called "les dix petite negres" when she arrives at the islands hotel.

NOTHING TO DO WITH NIGGER DIXS

>>9205318
what did (you) mean by this [post]?

>>9205509
Y-you're cute

>>9205720
in my high school class, we'd be reading multiple books at once. So we'd be assigned something like McCarthy or Denis Johnson for home reading, while something not so base level was read in class like Faulkner or Conrad.
