I have waaaaay more but I'm not posting them all...plus a lot are "reactions" to various movies and novels. My last English class was AP Lit, so we did a lot of analysis. I have numerous reflections on
Crime and Punishment and
Jude the Obscure. Not really original thought, just tangental spew I think. But hey, I got credit and that what counts!
I suppose I should go look up Ursula K. Le Guin, David Foster Wallace, and Chuck Palahniuk since I seem to write like them the most/consistently.
