Every single book I read was about woman's liberties or some shit.

>>255689
>1984 is not about racism. no.

Only books I read discussing racism in my school were To Kill A Mockingbird and Raisin in the Sun

Cold War
Racism
Alienation

The three big topics in modern day literature. What will it be like 50 years from now?

>fucking underage rich girls

Provide your High School's book list, please.

>>255722

see

>>255723

At least, we can hope.

>>255640
Yeah, Romeo and Juliet was such a hamfisted work of white guilt.

All the books I was forced to read in highschool were about leftists trying to excuse their braindeath with strawman arguments and drunk men fucking underage rich girls.

Go Brazil. Yeah.

WHAT THE FUCK MAN YOU RUINED MY POST

>>255746
Sorry. Typos, no edit button, etc.

Anybody else have to read Things Fall Apart?

I really didn't like it.

All the books I had to read in highschool went along the lines of, "all men are lying pigs trying to corrupt us pure as snow women."
My teacher was a huge dyke, she called me sexist and ignorant when I asked if she wouldn't kiss her "lover" in class, it was because she was ugly as fuck.

I didn't have that problem, 'cause I took AP Lang and Lit, where we read much better books.

But I did notice that no matter what the book, some dumbass girl in the class would find some convoluted way to relate the book to equality, particularly womens' rights.

>>255761
Give an example plz

>>255774
Shoot, lemme think... The Things They Carried, Crime and Punishment, Othello, Their Eyes Were Watching God (Alright, I'll give the women that one.), Heart of Darkness

I can't remember any more.

>>255796

The Things They Carried sucked.

A Huge Pussy Makes Shit Up About Vietnam: The Book

>>255754

I did. It's a lot more powerful in the context you find yourself in after reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

>>255774
I only recall one instance, where some girl was saying that a theme in Othello is misogyny.

I had to explain to her that she was looking at the play through the modern eye, and Shakespeare wasn't much different from any of his contemporaries, in that respect. "Misogyny" and "sexism" are words that were created recently to label old trends that were not even noticed at the time.

I was about to deny that, but even my grade 11 one was Trainspotting, which brings up English hatred of Scottish a lot...

>>255796
Your retarded. Half of those are not about racism. Maybe class-ism for a few. But how the hell is Crime and Punishment about racism?

>>255841

He said they AREN'T about racism.

See his original post >>255761

My high school just had us read books and poetry by dead white guys. Romeo and Juliet, parts of The Odyssey, poems about hoary winters, I think Macbeth was in there at some point, Cask of Amontillado, Siddhartha, Merchant of Venice, Brave New World and others.

>>255841

Also, what about my retarded?

>>255809
He does say in the book that the point of telling a war story isn't to tell the facts, but instead to convey the feelings. The facts are fluid. I mean, it was so obvious that he was making things up that it couldn't have been unintentional.

Plus, it's fiction...
>fiction

>>255809
>Hey I'm totally insensitive guys, am I cool yet?

>>255857

Yeah, it's fiction but my problem is the way he presents things twice.

That is, he'll tell a story as if he was actually involved, and then later he's like "I just heard that from some guy."

I got the feeling through the whole book that he he WISHED he'd actually done something during the war worth writing about, but really he was just a whiny pussy who got through a bad experience by letting the real men do all the hard work (killing people), and has regretted/felt guilty about it ever since.

>>255754
Chinua Achebe:
>Write a book about a primal nigger disgracing the entire race.
>Call Joseph Conrad a racist for writing Heart of Darkness.

I don't think that The Crucible was about racism...

>>255874

Not insensitive. My dad was a combat medic during Desert Storm. He has some pretty terrible stories. He didn't wanna be there and was afraid of dying and all that shit. But he doesn't feel the need to make up stories about himself.

>>255901
Yeah, that's what I was referring to when I said "obvious." The narrator is confused and hazy, repeating things almost verbatim sometimes, forgetting things, having moments of clarity, giving different accounts of the same stories.

Reread the chapter, "How to Tell a True War Story," in that book. That's possibly the most truthful one in there, and the one that gives the best explanation for his confused writing.

>>255903

Only stupids criticize Conrad for being a racist. I mean, he WAS racist but only because it was grandfathered into him and he was enlightened on the subject compared to his contemporaries.

>>255911
You dumb nigger, breaking the first rule of literary analysis.

The narrator is NOT the author. Not in fiction. Ever.

>>255957

Sometime he is.

>>255941
Well Achebe has given whole lecture series on racism in HoD.

>>255964
Not for any analytical purposes. Try and pull that shit on a college professor, and he'll nail you every time.
