i actually got in trouble in third grade because i wrote a book report on clockwork orange and they thought my parents were abusing me by introducing me to this literature too early
Life of Pi I read the book in like 5th grade and I never understood the scene where he bites into a fruit and there is a human tooth in it. Not in the movie but in the book there is that scene. Everyone skips the analysis of that part of the book online and I still want to know what it means but I can not find any good analysis.
Nah don't read it again. Things are usually only worth doing once in life to me. Do not put that pressure on yourself.

i disagree heavily but i'm on message limit damn. LOL i will say though, i despise chuck palahnuik and everything he stands for, that type of edgy violence for the sake of pushing the status quo and nothing else loses meaning and makes it devoid of any nuanced social commentary it says it is. makes an easy excuse to say "you don't get it" as opposed to admitting it's just garbage and violent for no reason other than fetishizing
Man I love that! Completely agree. I also hate the people who are walking contradictions of that kinda stuff. People who consume staged violence but when you talk about real violence they can not stomach it.

and i love body horror and gore as a way of commenting on things like quos eg hellraiser, videodrome, etc but when you write this type of stuff it has to not fall into the trap of the only meaningful boundary being crosses being censorship
I can get behind some of the ideas Chuck espouses but they go too far.

cherie i'm on message limit but i could talk about cronenberg foreverrrrrr and body horror. i love tokyo gore police, obviously extremely violent and gory, but i read a very interesting analysis on it being a commentary on japanese isolationism and western stereotyping
