>Lord of the Flies is sexist because it's like, all boys. Why aren't there any girls? This book is sexist.

>>16112202
I hate that I can hear his voice just by reading this text

>>16112212
This. 50% of the population is female you know? Do you have any idea how unrealistic it is to not have a single female character in the whole story? Sexist pigs man.

>>16112225
>Do you have any idea how unrealistic it is to not have a single female character in the whole story?
The whole story, about BOY scouts.

>>16112202
Oh Christ, that video.

>>16112202
Why would one care about what a teenage romance writer has to say about classic pieces of literature?

This man's videos are shown in schools, HSs and Universities, all around the USA.

>>16112202

that explain the american education system.

>>16112202
Wow, he sinks lower and lower doesn’t he

>>16113994
yep it does yeah it explains the american education system perfectly, true!
too too too too funny!
have a word with yourself mate

>>16114137
i sorry my american friend but it's not a secret that your education is shit.

>>16114165
How does European education compare?

>>16114165
i'm english just can't stomach such unimaginably lame takes, esp. from people being so so clever & smug whilst simultaneously being as mind-shatteringly obtuse as it's humanly possible to be

>>16114173
Also shit, from the constant bombardment with WWII and the Holocaust to the soft indoctrination with that obnoxious Euro blend of market socialism and classical liberalism.

>>16114237
I bet you at least read more.

>>16114165
>i sorry my american friend but it's not a secret that your education is shit.

>>16114255

stop sucking his dick.

>>16112215
I have literally never heard his voice but I know exactly what it sounds like.

>>16112202
Why do amerimutts even bother with literature?

>Ody
you mean Odysseus the Cunning, Son Of Laertes, Master Mariner and Equal In Stratagem to Zeus? right? seriously, why shorten "Odysseus", it's such a good sounding name

>>16112202
Never until now did I think someone was deserving of death for making a YouTube video

>>16113994
Leaf here and let me you that I had to watch some of his videos that were shown in class throughout my HS and Uni days as well. There probably isn’t a single country in a world that was able to provide any worthwhile education for the masses.

>>16115184
cringe

>>16115384
That's what you'd believe if your higher education consisted in youtube videos. Read up on the French Third Republic's school system (1870-1940).

>>16113910
You’re so fucking stupid

>>16115738
Go suck a cock, faggot.

>>16112202
jesus fucking christ, this man has 11 million subs, he is actually a big influence on so many young minds that take him seriously because pretty animations. i want to beat him to death

>>16112202
He's too based for this board

but Penelope is the hero of the story you problematic shitlord!

>>16115716
This seems pretty interresting, link me a good source?

>>16115738
Yeah all primary sources are evil and information laundered textbooks are the pure good of civilization. Please attend more classes to receive your next patch update.

>>16112215
I hate that I can literally hear OPs voice mimicking him.

Go fucking read something.

>Nooooooo! He owned slaves! That means he's baaaaaad!
>haha, Greek society go chip chop

Tranny subhuman

>>16112225

Into the garbage it goes

Teabagger.

>>16112202
One of my gf's friend really likes this guy. How do I make it clear to her that he's a retard without looking like a sperg? I know nothing about this guy except for what is said about him on /lit/.

>>16117762
Why do you allow your gf to have a male "friend" and why do you care what this male thinks?

>>16117765
he's not male. how did you make that assumption even though i referred to her with 'her'?

>>16113603
>tfw my philosophy 101 professor unironically showed us an episode of Black Mirror in class

>>16117771
>How do I make it clear to her that he's a retard
Misinterpreted this line sorry bro. Why do you care what your gf's female friend thinks? Also
>he's not male

>>16112202
Imagine how ancient Greeks would have reacted reading this lmao

>>16117783
I don't care what she thinks, i just want to btfo her so that she never mentions kohn green again.

>>16117762
Why on Earth are you concerned with what women other than your relatives and the one you're having sex with think? Just ignore her.

>>16117642
Tranny subhuman

>>16112202
Is this guy even still relevant? I haven't heard about him in ages

>>16117789
>barbarbar

Furvert

>>16112212
to be fair lord of the flies is a terrible book school teachers use to teach the concept of symbolism

>>16117843
I feel the same way about To Kill a Mockingbird

>>16117837
>>barbarbar

English doesn't sound that bad, does it?

>>16117859
Kek, they were smug af. Anything outside their tongue sounded like barbarbar to their ears. Even when under Roman rule, they only learned Latin to move up the social ladder, not to read their literature. Romans on the other hand learned Greek for peak /lit/ and philosophy.

>>16117854
Mockinbird is a book with characters that read like actual humans. It has inspiring moments and sad moments.
Flies is a book where every single character is a symbol and thats all they are. The events that occur are just shocking, meant to really stuff the symbolism in your face.

>>16117113
I’d like to read your Suicide note faggot

>>16114173
Western Europeans(as well as Scandis and some others) have better average test scores than Americans. The reason however that Americans have low average test scores is never really permitted to be spoken in polite society.

>>16117843
Why would they do that when The Great Gatsby works way better and sucks less.

>>16117762
Tell her he raped an underage girl with a terminal illness and that was his inspiration for Looking for Alaska.

"Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously"

Legit can't believe this faggot is still a meme three years after i stopped browsing this board

>>16117996

so there's not real reason why you guys dislike john green?

>their voices and body type are literally the same
what a coping faggot

>>16118625
Wasn't it Reddit in general?

how many people in this thread have read the odyssey

>>16112202
Haha, holy shit, people actually cares what this asshole has to say about literature?

>>16118625
Sorry sweatie, the Son of Dob has you baet.

>>16118757
I read Odyssey in like 5th grade, and several times more after High School across different translations, Fagles, Fitzgerald, and taking the Popepill respectively.

>>16118768
>Fagles, Fitzgerald, and taking the Popepill respectively.
fitzgerald guy myself

>>16118771
pretty lame attempt to impress me mate
anyway, pope is awful & besides being forced to at a comprehensive school i don't know why anyone would read fagles or fitzgerald

>>16118785
>ask question
>get answer
>"pretty lame attempt to impress me"
What a faggot. Not even going to read anything else you have to say since you're clearly stupid.

>>16118792
jesus wept, have a word with yourself. no one in their right mind would go on like that

>>16118785
>i don't know why anyone would read fagles or fitzgerald
They're the standard for English translations?
>pope is awful
Pleb filtered. It is great regardless of loose adherence to accuracy and emphasis on form.
Stop posting, illiterate scum.

Imagine, just for a moment, imagine reading the Odyssey and the only thing you feel and can think about are a particular strain of current day politics. Depressing.

>>16118805
>They're the standard for English translations?
what are you on about, there is no standard
>It is great regardless of loose adherence to accuracy and emphasis on form.
christ. he knew practically no greek and used ill-paid hacks to help him complete it

>>16117937
The reason our test scores are lower is because of niggers. If you just take white Americans we'd be above average in europe.

>>16117859
Does English sound like 'barbarbar'?
It's really not that horrible!
Bu' our barren art of bards
are but barbarians of old,
barking, hardly acting smart,
to retell what Greeks have told.

>>16118845
>heh, we would actually be better than you if you didn't take the bottom rung of our racial hierarchy into account

>>16114173
Better when compared to USA, but still shit.

>>16112202

>>16118869

>>16117937
yeah i bet every american thinks scandinavians are so cool & wishes they were swedish

>>16118863
reminds me of the Roman playwright who used to say "written by the Greeks, barbarised by me"

>>16118625
>/lit/,/his/,/sci/,/tv/,/pol/
those are all the same anons

>>16116576
Wikipedia. If you want to feel what it was like and what it produced, read Péguy.

>>16119026
I'm willing to bet /tv/ and /lit/ have a significant cunnyssuer overlap.

More like Odysseus they cunny lover

This guy should have no fame and his degeneracy is greater proof enough of this even more so than his lack of talent or intelligent.

I Charge Him on Account of Corruption of the Yough!--; Will You Drink the Hemlock or Die for what you Believe???

>>16117762
Just say "ah he's such a retard that guy" in a sort of lighthearted and joking manour. Literally what's she gonna do?

https://youtu.be/DklAU4GNpxA?t=50

Laughing at you beta.

>>16112202
My God, this man is a complete idiot.

>>16112202
Its true though, whoremongers should not be so delusional regarding the nature of their concubines. Of course killing woman in general is a moral thing to do, but not as an honor killing. expecting honor from those i capable of it is absurd.

>>16118845
This is a little known fact, but for obvious reasons they stopped teaching it. U.S schools were ranked 1st in the 50s by all metrics that rank it low currently. This was only for white schools. Once the government forced schools to integrate America's rankings plummeted from 1st to god knows what they are currently.

>>16113905
Holy based.

>>16119830
don't blame the niggers

>>16119850
You walk into somebody's home and see dog shit all over the floor. The dog is squatting down for a nice new smelly shit and when you walk over to try and stop him you step in some more caked in shit on floor. Do you blame the dog owner or the dog for your stinky predicament?

>>16119872
could an educated person make such an analogy in clean conscience

>>16118863
you wrote this?

>>16119881
Answer the question, would you blame the dog or the dog owner?

>>16119921
i think there's a bigger question staring us in the face don't you

>>16113910
They are ultimately the institution with the most power

>>16113905
He's not wrong.

>>16118813
the only thing i felt from reading the odyssey was intense boredom

>>16113603
that's not my problem

>>16114373
Why do euromonkeys even bother with civilization?

>>16119872
The owner obviously. Should be taking better care of his dog and not trapping it inside so it has no choice but to shit in the floor.

>>16112202
why do you hate John Green?

>>16112202
I hate this man and I hope he gets raped. He is a piece of shit with his shitty books and videos dumbing down my generation.

>>16120486
Because we created it

>>16117893
so theyre like the french today?

>>16117784
lmao i want to not believe it

The dog owner is a (white) women

>>16123494
Is her name Penelope? No wonder everything is caked in shit, bitch doesn't sleep during the nights and parties all day with some boysband, so how is she supposed to care about the dog? She really need good dicking from her husband, but fucker dissappeared the hour his son was born. Thats fucked up shit man.

>>16119230
