This episode contains a summary, brief analyses of key incidents, and a discussion of the metaphors in John Steinbeck's "The Pearl". I'd argue the episode is overall more organized/structured than most so far. This time the main flaw is my deprecating ability to speak -for some reason. In fact, if you pay enough attention you can hear me struggling more and more reaching out for a very simple word.
Here, we're diving into the hints of ideas in the novella as well as the political implications characters' interactions and behaviors may have, but whatever I say will just be the tip of the tip of the iceberg because each sentence literally has something to explore. That's why this episode is so lengthy. I love Russian literature so much.
Note: In the movie Midsommar, the people in the cult are killing each other which is why I sad "in their case it (murder) is ethical". Murder is almost fully consensual in the initial case. Awesome movie by the way, with awesome aesthetics and awesome details and awesomely weird story.
I LOVE RUSSIAN LITERATURE SO MUCH
Enjoy this perfectly 29-minute (not 28 minutes and 59 seconds, not 29 minutes and 1 second. 29 minutes.) long monologue about the characters' notions of death, life, existence, society.
The poem I refer to ever so slightly is Six Months after Contemplating Suicide by Erika Sanchez. Please check it out, it's great. If youre too lazy to look it up, here's a link: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/58591/six-months-after-contemplating-suicide
An attempted organized recap and review of the essay by Patrick Süskind with 2 mythologic stories in relation; one being chosen by the writer to be a demonstration of what he talked about, and one chosen by me as another demonstration of what he talked about.
I noticed this book was being reviewed inaccurately around social media. It's actually a well-crafted story of how to tear a life apart presented in a romance clothing but it seems that people focus more on the clothing then what's inside. I like the story itself a lot, in terms of both plotting and writing and I'm repeating it again to prevent any confusion. The story is great, it's just that I'm glad I don't relate to the main character.
I point out a few points that I wanted to point out about this book and try to explain why it's so special to me.
An analyze of how Ernest Hemingway's style of writing can be spotted flawlessly in Old Man and the Sea. Also a discussion of symbolisms and how Hemingway showed a view on masculinity while implying deeper metaphors.
First of all, I'd like to apologize for this episode has been belated by almost a month (murphy was not on my side! but it's not all his fault) this episode is a talk on the little prince and quite an analyze of the metaphors used. I also included a couple interpretations but most of it is about the metaphors. enjoy.
This episode is fully about how I perceive Fahrenheit 451 and what I like about it (which is, to sum up, each letter of every word)
Also, your sign to not postpone your reading sessions.
a discussion mainly leaning onto the way Kafka's struggles reflected on his stories and how grateful I am for Max Brod's unloyalty.
me recording a monologue on Catherine Certitude and talking about its certain aspects and absolute beauty
