You already won with the previous one, why are you even trying? :P
I really wanted to do another one. Sometimes, you know, you just can't hold back.
EDIT: Hey look, my 900th post. Yay me.

I disagree with waZelda.
I thought it was fun, and it was surprising enough to make me smile. It was written pretty well, too.I see similarities between Sranger than Fiction and this, but I think the differences are far enough away so that it doesn't ruin the piece.
Influence gained. Opinion withdrawn, sir.irmeleeman5995
See, that's how you win on the internet. You post funny pictures until they give up.
:D (See flash I did it again!)
EDIT: Yes, foolz, that doesn't make her wrong. That just makes her a bit silly, and very few people take her seriously.
Her ideas are interesting, but I agree; there's no backbone. There are enough modern versions of her to last us a lifetime of explaination, though, so we're okay in the department.
Of course what I'm saying is subjective! What the hell is criticism if not an opinion? The closest I can get to facts is if I opened up the book and cited quotes of examples of bad writing. But I would just take the first 2/3 of the book where nothing happens and say "read it yourself" and that would just piss off gbarules and make everyone else laugh. Becuz it's MY OPINION. And frankly, the world is usually wrong, and I've come to accept humanity as a lot of ridiculous people, so you can laugh at my opinion if you feel like it, but you can't prove an opinion wrong.irmeleeman5995
(xkcd)
Read above post. Done. I've said what I wanted to say.
What were you saying now, Foolz?
I think our fearless leader needs a little trip down Randian lane. Consider that your punishment.

[QUOTE="irmeleeman5995"]Hahah what a mature, educated response! \
But no seriously, I'm only 15. I'm almost positive you're older than me. Most of you guys are. But unless you're in or past college and studied up nice and hard on literature and all sorts of fanciful subjects such as thus, then please, I urge you to rain down fire on my head and make me smarter for it. But somehow I don't believe you can or will; if you could, why didn't you already? No, you'll post another picture of...wait, what is that first one supposed to be illustrating? Well, whatever, point is, I made my case...and you didn't make yours. You just insisted you're right and won't even get your hands dirty.
iloveflash
By jove you are fearless.
Well, here it comes... :roll: *takes out umbrella* I'm singing in the rain
I'd post a smiley here, but flash thinks the world will cave in every time I do. (Ah, well, what the hell, :D)
And why should he be scared of the internet? What am I going to do? He ain't no elemeltdown, that's for sure.
Sure, you could say that the book's plot is a little disjointed. It really has two main plot threads running throughout; the racism one, which climaxes in the court case and peaks at the chase scene in the dark, and the Boo Radley one, which climaxes also at the dark chase in the woods. They aren't really together until you reach the end.
And yet, that really didn't bother me, especially because Harper Lee's writing is so amazingly spot on that it ropes anyone in as they read. Not only that, but after you read the thing a few times those two plot threads do kind of interwine through symbolism and foreshadowing. After you really get in deep, it makes more sense.
I have taken a "schooling" on the book, but to describe all the symbolism, ties, foreshadowning, and social themes throughout the book as well as the ties to the two main plots would take months (which is what we did in that "schooling" for so long). I'll spare you as well as myself; I'm tired and had to edit several times to get the spelling on this post right.
I understand why you don't like it, but to be honest your points are about as interesting and well thought out to me as that picture of the horse's mouth. And you still claim to be better than said book, which by far is the dumbest things I've ever read in my life. You have to understand my tone at this point; a 15 year old claiming that his fan fiction is better than TKAM is, to be completely honest, quite hilarious and only deserves to be laughed at.
EDIT number 4: Nicer now. And then five, because I forgot something. I am edit king!!!
