Haven't watched it yet, will leave a review afterwards
Hated this one with a passion tysm 😭💀
wonderful analysis and very helpful. Thank you
4:49 it is relevant because Thatcher believed anything could be achieved if you worked hard enough, and Russel uses mickey to counter that idea
This is so useful thank you🙏💐
Thankyou sir
N.B. The use of 'anaphoric' [10.52], here, is incorrect. He means 'analeptic'. Analepsis is a referring to the past. What he might have wanted to say is that the pronoun 'it' has no antecedent - except for the title, which of course raises questions of where the work begins, where the incipient is.
You're saving my life
amazing video thankyou , again
