book recommendations

you're obviously more ready for those classes than i was but i got put into english 3 ap and couldn't transfer out due to bullshit last year and had to keep turning in and bullshitting assignments because see the class was picking up from work you were supposed to do over the summer which included reading huck finn and i didn't even know i was in english 3 ap until it was too late so i have a bad experience with english ap
not to mention i've had a bad experience with english teachers and classes in general, they tend to be the least qualified teachers and if they don't like you they will FUCK you up. especially pregnant ones. fancy a guy who thinks he's good enough to write a novel barely passing english

the us constitution

thats a your-school thing bruh, all the lit teachers ive had were great if not good. freshman year teacher was the fucking bomb. last and this year's (same bitch) is alright, good teacher and all you know well rounded and qualified. although back in 8th grade she was a bitch to me - and she was very pregnant.
what you described is more like the math teachers at my school. and old women. poor decrepit souls.
now, i did get put in a pre ap trig class which i dont think i asked for cause i flunked algebra 1 and passed with a blessing. i bucked up a little when i got geometry tho.

but serious dude, pay attention in your eng class if you want to write a coherent novel. learn literary devices, how and when to use them, and how to put in symbolism and enough foreshadowing and plot building techniques. if you ignore the foundations of literature then your novel will come off as if a teenager wrote it.
and like spinner said a few days ago-- read more books, if not just to learn from them.

but hey your shit bro none of my business

my implication was that my english teachers would give me like 70s and 80s on my essays even though the delinquents were probably getting 60s. i have paid attention in english classes prior to being in public school and learned much.
also i have trouble doing trivial busywork i can't focus on it and those classes have tons. especially in both english i and english ii when i was told to pick five words i couldn't define and i couldn't pick one because i have a healthy vocabulary and they'd just be like "pick any five" but i wouldn't know where to start. that was the other part of it.
i also picked up reading again recently. read the hobbit and game change 2012 over the summer and only one of those was for school

i mean shit all i read outside of school requirements is archaic occult texts idk

i'm bringing this shit back boys

some new good shit for you to check out:

Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz - a pretty quality book where tony horwitz goes around the deep south in search of the legacy of the civil war. pretty cool fucking book tbh especially if you like the civil war, but i'd recommend it to anybody

The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan - book about the dust bowl and how it affected parts of the midwest, especially places like the oklahoma panhandle. pretty enlightening and it covers a subject that, for how bad it was, doesn't seem to have a lot of literature about it

Hiroshima by John Hersey - aside from the fact that you can read this here and that alone is enough of a reason to read it, it's a pretty real book

i didnt insult you

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manga_Bible:_From_Genesis_to_Revelation

a manga adaption of the good word. the book of revelation is so fucking action packed, so was the sodom and gomorrah part (where a chunk of brimstone shoots read through a fags forehead and blows his head all over)

FD makes a guest apparence in the Manga Bible as pontius pilate trying to spare jesus at the crucifixion

my english teacher is an afro-carribean and won't stop talking about some place called pinto brosnan?

pilate was a brave and honorable praefectus not a puerto rican patriot

read city of ember a couple years ago, it was ok.

i read that whole series, ironically my favorite is the ugly duckling, prophet of yonwood

darkhold was pretty mediocre though all i remember about it was shepherd's pie

and that it was mediocre compared to the earlier three

ive read this extensively and i am ready for more recommendations

QuantumBound was an excellent read. I really liked the parts where the black character spoke in Afro-Caribbean ebonics. While reading it, I thought "finally, an accurate portrayal of my ethnicity that I can relate to, after all these years." The hydrogen flatulence arc was also a real nailbiter. Incredibly riveting experience overall, but I was a bit muddled when a character named the Refried Bean Bandit showed up and started preaching Anarcho-Communist ideals. Still, the story was a page-turner through and through. However, I'm going to have to give it a zero out of five because it does not have a Taiwanese-Chinese localization and the copy that I received was soaked in salsa verde.

i wanted to read them so much but so did everyone else i guess

yeah, i read the first one in my school library when i got a chance to grab it and ended up finding the rest that were available to read at a book store downtown, but i was only able to read up to the 6th book so i never got to see how it ended
