Video

I didn't listen, couldn't understand a thing and I have an exam soon. Not sure if I care either but nice video.

Helped a lot, even 8 years later

Narrator needs to stick to his day job. If one has a thin, nasal, childish voice and no theatrical training, one should avoid the narration of literature.

This was fascinating, I never once thought meyer was based on real life. Thanks for this grounding realism.

"S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma percioche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero, Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo."- Dante's Inferno (XXVII, 61-66) If I thought that my answer were To someone who would ever return to the world, This flame would stay without further shaking. But since, if I hear the truth, No one ever returns alive from this depth, Without fear of infamy I answer you. Or: "If I but thought that my response were made to one perhaps returning to the world, this tongue of flame would cease to flicker. But since, up from these depths, no one has yet returned alive, if what I hear is true, I answer without fear of being shamed." This is Eliot's response to Dante. "In context, the epigraph refers to a meeting between Dante Alighieri and Guido da Montefeltro, who was condemned to the eighth circle of Hell for providing counsel to Pope Boniface VIII, who wished to use Guido's advice for a nefarious undertaking. This encounter follows Dante's meeting with Ulysses, who himself is also condemned to the circle of the Fraudulent. According to Ron Banerjee, the epigraph serves to cast ironic light on Prufrock's intent. Like Guido, Prufrock had never intended his story to be told, and so by quoting Guido, Eliot reveals his view of Prufrock's love song." www.jstor.org/stable/2907793

i saw the thumbnail & the background and was immediately like 'yeah, this is someone who'll understand Blanche DuBois" also "born that way- lady gaga!" killed me LOL

Well done... The ending is to remind us how easy it is to fall back into racism, for me. Messy, yup!

love your analysis. it makes me feel sad for her

Thanks for this very helpful and thorough video. I don't understand what Wilde meant in the statement "the nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass". Could you possibly clarify this?

Hey man just a suggestion to you ,if you want more views on your video just involve some content from india ,weather its literature or any kind of reaction video about indian books,place or anything about india you will be surprised by the result

I totally love this. APA 7th <3 Page numbers are only required if you are using a direct quote as opposed to paraphrasing content. In-text citations are my jam and I love PurdueOWL it's amazing. I got sent there years ago after getting my ass kicked over one of my first papers. You are great, would you like to be friends? (and that's not meant in any creepy way, I just think we'd get along).

I love your bookshelf, it looks like mine, with so many books squeezed into that space <3 That's made my day :)

Good analysis. It's interesting that Jordan Baker's name is so similar to that of Josephine Baker, another midwesterner, who became famous in the late 1920's as an exotic dancer and actress. Although she was an unknown at the time the novel was written, after its publication the name Jordan Baker would nevertheless have suggested to readers undertones of mysterious allure; which certainly fits with the curiosity and attraction Nick feels towards Jordan, even as he admits that her core attitude is one of contempt -- hardly a characteristic which would be considered appealing to the average single. Jordan's less attractive qualities, which Nick cant help mentioning every time he refers to Jordan, expose the ambivalence of his feelings towards her. And of course his doomed relationship with Jordan becomes a mini capsule of his ambivalent and unsustainable relationship with Daisy and Tom. Interestingly, in the end, contempt is the emotion Nick feels for all three.

well thought of ..

Thank you to the narrator!

When I first read the book around age 12 I hated the ending but I read it again at 41 and now I see that Mark Twain gave the book a realistic ending. Huck is a 12-13 year old boy living in the south why wouldn't he give in to peer pressure and defer to someone he looks to as his social better. The guy said it in the video Twain tossed aside the romantic notions and gave the reader a realistic character who is not a hero but just a boy.

You made a very accurate great analysis about this psycho woman.

🌝 Ohmygosh! I am so thankful that I found a tutorial! This is my 3rd year in a newspaper club and I recently became editor. I had no idea how to edit a newspaper or the basics of Adobe Indesign, because of this video I am more confident to begin editing! Thank you!

Nick comes from money but working money, not the leisure class like the Buchannans the meeting in the East Egg is the start of a voyage fluttering of sails the wine red carpet or sea (HOMER) being guided by Tom (AHAB) and the end of the Chapter being told by Jorden (Nicks Navagaror) of his destination of this voyage GASBY. Could Gatsby be the Great White Whale?.........

Three months in 1922

Have you read the book? Grant was a captain in the federal army and he left it to try to provide for his wife and family. He worked in his father’s shop after he failed in other businesses.

It's a best video! Thank you!

Beautiful reading. What a transformation Steinbeck's writing underwent from this childish attempt (published in 1935) to magnificent prose of The Grape of Wrath.

Thanks, you were helpful

Where?

Amazing , from Algeria

What's Satie doing in the middle of this?

I’d say Lee was a great man. A flawed man, but a great man. Many of our historical figures are very flawed, but we’re good for us. I find it odd that slavery or the racism has flipped in our country. Blacks now hate and blame us whites for zero reason. I’ve had nothing to do with slavery yet they hate me. It is quite sad.

You mean the East Egg social group.... the old money people...

Many generations of red worms live in the bottom of the large, bottomless, plastic garbage can that serves as my composter. I tried to name each of them, but that was futile, so now I just knit warm little scarves for them for the Holidays. ( make stuff up sometimes, but I love my little red worms.) I live in rainy (this year) California, and keep the lid on the composter can. Thanks for the helpful video. Here is a Red Worm Haiku for you: Night rain thumps, no rest. Earthworms, like disinterred ghosts, Crowd dank, dank, cool spaces. Brrrrrr! 🌧🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱

thank you ! I liked the music too

Great Video , I don't understand the controversy upon this book , certain People can't stand when they are not center of attention amd that is the source of controversy in my opinion.

The definable Great American Novel ‘til this day - from 1st person narrative to American humor, to a quest for freedom, to a journey tantamount to Ulysses’ odyssey, to the american trope of a buddy adventure, to the Mississippi River - there is no other that tells the tale of America such as Twain’s masterpiece. My cohort Blume was raving on about Blood Meridian when I couldn’t help myself from responding on, “oh! you mean Huckleberry Finn Part 2”. He paused a few, so I continued, “y’know, huckleberry finn, end of story, boy resolves he’s going straight to hell, lights out to Indian territory. blood meridian, picks up with this orphan kid, meets up with the devil, massacres indians, ties back to his haunts of Injun Joe”. That’s how great Huckleberry Finn is, even a book as great as Cormac’s can only rank as an epilogue to Twain’s. Even the title is a word of American invention - “huckleberry” A fantastic video, worthy of many several repeat visits.

This is a good discussion of one aspect of the poem, the one directly related to Whitman’s grief, over the death of Lincoln. But it forgets the millions of griefs felt by those who lost their loved ones in the terrible Civil War that had been fought for the previous four years before Lincolns sudden death in 1865 after four years of heartbreaking conflict, suffering, and grief. It is the blending of these personal and collective griefs for these losses that is the tragedy of the Civil War and of Witmans ultimate acceptance of these terrible deaths and the release from grief, that he ultimately feels that is the guiding thread of this superb elegy. That really needs to be included in a comprehensive response.

This was a lifesaver for an english assignmet i had this week, thanks a lot

Great analysis, but why do you say that at 12:39? You should not hate yourself for the actions of others.

Greetings and thank you for this very interesting lecture.

What is the tune in the background?

Where is the Minecraft gameplay?

Don't play the background audio soo loud 📢

Thanks for that Walter. I live in Liverpool and often take the ferry across the Mersey as I find it a more agreeable way to travel to work than the trains or buses, the air, the scenery, it's beautiful! They play the beginning of the Jerry and the Pacemakers song as the start of their River Explorer cruise. Ever since reading Crossing Brooklyn Ferry recently I hear his words in my head as I cross. It's a wonderful poem and it was a great explanation and analysis!

Thank you so much, this is great !

Love it, very direct and critical

Great explanation and love the background music and filming around nature. Very clear explanation which is for me very important. Thanks again

useful! I intend to lecture some time on literary satire (American and English) in the near futue.
