#and the metaphoric description of the rhythm section is so lovely

[thestarsarecool]

“I still feel really comfortable playing with Paul, yes. We have all that history and it comes into play when we work together. You can’t just dismiss that. You’re never going to lose the closeness of those eight years we spent together. We played some great music and we were brothers; no matter what goes on up and down, we were very close. I don’t know of any other band who got that close. And we got that close because we loved each other and the pressure that only the Beatles had. No other band has had that much pressure. So all of those factors come into play when we meet each other. We know what went on. Nobody else knows. Everybody thinks they know, and they have ideas, and they write books about it, but actually only the Beatles know how heavy that was.

Paul and I used to work very hard. A lot of it fell into place, but the drummer and the bass player have a foundation to set, for everything else to be able to go on. And as I say, he is the most melodic bass player. He plays melodies within the melodies. He’s like the sea bed, or I’m the sea bed and he’s the bottom water, and everything goes up from there. Like bubbles.”

— Ringo Starr, Club Sandwich, 1997

Hello :) i really like ur writing style and wanted to know your writing tips!

Like, how do you get a clean and nice pace? Or how to write intense scenes? Or what words to choose? Etc

I thank you graciously for sharing your works 🙏🙏

HELLO SLEEPY!! I meant to respond to this way earlier but stuff got in the way -- however I have arrived!!

Let's dig in:

In terms of pacing, it is always helpful to have a clear outline of every event that will happen - I write all of mine in a notes app, write down each key event and how the chapter will progress. I think that way I get a good idea of what sections should be longer, which are more important and need more detail, and which should be intentionally fast to amp up pressure. Ofc it depends on what you're writing! I've always written these sorts of angsty hurt/comfort fics, so I've just had a lot of practice with them. I can assure you that I'd struggle with a slow pace slice-of-life au in any fandom.

Writing intense scenes mostly comes with practice, I've had 10 long years of experience haha! But there are some things that I've learned to do for those scenes:

Positioning is important, set it up early. You want your readers to know exactly where your characters are so they aren't confused which will slow down how they read the scene. You want them following the speed of the scene you've set.

Shortening your sentences and descriptions will make your scene more intense because your reader feels like they are struggling to keep up with it. It also makes them predict a breaking point - a point in the sentence structure where it reaches a limit and either stops completely or slows back down. So they hang on to every word, waiting for that drop.

Metaphors and imagery are great for describing emotional or physical pain - but I try not to overdo it, especially in "Nobody's Soldier" when those scenes are pretty lengthy. I try to keep those scenes feeling intense and quick because the stakes are supposed to feel high for Gi-hun - and by extension, for the readers.

As for word choice, that really depends on your style and where you find your inspiration from! Like I said, I've primarily written hurt/comfort and whump fics, so my style developed to be very physical: I always think about the facial expressions of the characters, the way their body reacts to stimuli, where they are standing and how they stand, etc. That comes from working on how to describe reactions to pain, and they always tell you to show it instead of telling it: "he winced/he flinched" rather than "it hurt him".

A lot of my style just comes from the things I take inspiration from. Funnily enough, I don't read fics or books for fun because I read so much for university in my history/english program. So I find my inspiration in the historical sources and literature I read. I think a good example I can give is from a poem by Wilfred Owen, an English poet who fought in WWI, called Dulce et Decorum est, which uses very visceral language (ie. "His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;/ If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood/ Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs..."). I'm sure you can some similarity between his descriptions and my own -- albeit, mine are far less sophisticated than his. But I still try to emulate how grotesquely he describes the human body, as well as the sharp rhythm of certain lines like "sick of sin." ANYWAYS thats enough university talk that i'm sure sounds boring haha. I also find inspiration in video games, in TV shows, in everything. The world around us is composed of sentences waiting to be written, you just have to look for them and put pen to paper :))

One last tip I can give is to just write what you enjoy! I know ao3 can be disheartening if your work doesn't get a lot of love, but honestly as long as you are having fun, it is well worth it. I have written for dead fandoms in the past - and in fact, I have more often written for dead fandoms than for popular ones. I'm somehow always late to the party, except this time ofc with Squid Game.

Anyways, I think that is all I have for now!! If you have any further questions, please ask away. I'm so flattered to have been asked about something like this, thank you to coming for me and reading what I write <3 <3

[kestrelofink]

favorite fic snippets? yours and someone else's

ohhhhhh this is hard there are so many good fics out there...

For my own... there are a few lines from Is It Going Too Fast for You that I really love, so I'll drop one here:

‘Because I do. Because I am afraid of all the grandness of you. Because you say my name informally, but jealousy blooms green and crowding in my chest when you and Hyunjin bleed into each other. Because I know more about you than anyone at the Shatterdome, and still I am greedy for more. Greedy for the parts of you that are unreachable, that are as impenetrable as the shell I plated your Jaeger in to guard you against harm.’

I'm so fond of this for a few reasons, first because it is so Kes-like in description. I love beautiful, flowery language. I love purple prose. I love sentences that tell a story in its rhythm. And if you'd believe, this section used to be even more purple than it is now. The line about jealousy used to be "but jealousy is the green-eyed monster that scorns me", which is a direct reference to Shakespeare's Othello, and feels very representative of the way I write: I'm very inspired by pieces I've read in the past and sometimes bits stick in a way unlike any other and find their way into my writing. And secondly because "I am afraid of all the grandness of you" isn't actually my own line, it's from my incredible beta, moonradishes, when they inspired me to write part 2 to the Hyerim PacRim fic. They do so much more than just betaing for me, and this little line that inspired me so much finding its way into the fic as-is feels very representative of the role they play in my writing.

For someone else... this is impossible, anon! Ah, I'm going to say the first two that came to mind, first from ContinueEclipse's Love Languages:

"Jinthol got me pregnant,"

The delivery of the line is SO good, and sets up a fantastic little joke the author returns to a couple paragraphs later and builds the base to show the reader exactly why Heejin wants what Lipsoul have together. I'm a sucker for a funny little multipurpose liner, and I like this line so much I regularly parrot it back at AJ

And then the other is from covetedmoon's tangerine skies. I won't link the whole snippet here because I really do think you should go hit the link and read the whole thing, but it's between these two lines:

Haseul's fingers are soaked and the tangerine is bloodied [...] Jungeun's fingers slip, and she crushes the carpel between her fingers, arms still aching.

The whole fic is so poetic and sweet and heartbreaking, and I have such a soft spot for two people talking around an issue with a metaphor suspended in the tension between them. This paragraph is such a masterclass in it, and the author has so clearly taken the time to infuse all of their words with such care. The little window we get into Jungeun's introspection is SO special to read and I'm obsessed with the word choice in "the rhythmic crush of soft flesh between Haseul’s eager teeth"

But oh, there are so many good snippets and you should ABSOLUTELY take the time to check out, just off the top of my head, midnightcruiser, itotoro, lipsouls, and wacky_aphrodite among so many others for some of my favourite lines

[goatsandgangsters]

do you have any writing tips pls 🥺🥺

Ohhh big question! I’m flattered that you want my writing thoughts, anon!

So. Are we talking about tips on getting through writer’s block/sitting down and actually writing? The mechanics of writing itself, the individual sentences and word choices? Developing a plot? Characters or dialogue? Drafting and revising? If there’s a specific part of the process that’s angsting you, let me know, I’m happy to say more on that. For now I’ll try and touch on as much as broadly as I can.

Writing is a process, a craft, a practice. A joy and a trial. The act of hitting some keys with your fingers but also making something out of nothing. Which is to say—it comes with practice, it can be frustrating, it can be rewarding, and however you’re feeling about writing, you’re not the only one.

Inspiration/actually sitting down to write:

I find that writing is like exercise. Yes, in the sense that it takes practice to build up those muscles, but MORE IMPORTANTLY writing, like exercise, makes me groan and go “but that’s haaaaard I don’t wanna doooooo it, what if I just siiiit here insteaaaad.” And then I grudgingly get started. And I start to get into the rhythm. And then “oh goddammit. This DOES feel good.” I’ve still never experienced a runner’s high, but I have experienced “no I don’t wanna write. well I guess I’ll write. oh hey I’m writing. oH HEY!! I’M WRITING!!!” Sometimes you just need to push yourself through to start.

That said, sometimes you don’t need to push yourself to start. Sometimes it’s better to let something sit. It’s okay to pivot to another project if you’ve stalled out on one. I saw a post once that called this “crop rotation” and I think that’s true. Sometimes the challenge is getting started, but even when you can’t get started, the time away can be valuable, because it allows you to return with fresh ideas and fresh ideas.

I love using Fighter’s Block for when I can’t get started. It curbs my perfectionist tendency to write the same first sentence over and over again by forcing me to write consistently and quickly without refreshing tumblr between every sentence. Once I’ve got a paragraph, I’ve got enough of a rhythm going to keep writing on my own. You can use it for longer stretches of time, but I find a couple rounds of 200 word count goals is enough to get me through the inertia of getting started.

Read a lot:

Reading makes you a better writer. You will absorb aspects of the craft in the process—sentence structure, rhythm, plot beats.

Then think about what you read. Think about what works. Think about what doesn’t. Notice sentences that you love—not by meaning but by sound. Think about how the story is told, how the plot elements come together, how the themes operate, how the narrative is structured. Did the flashbacks works or were they superfluous? Did you love the metaphors and descriptive language, or did it feel vague and unhelpful? What parts grabbed you, what parts didn’t?

Being able to identify what does and doesn’t work in someone else’s writing will help you apply it to your own. It will also help you craft your own voice and style.

Use writing tips as a challenge, not a rule:

We’ve all seen those “writing rules” like don’t use adverbs, don’t say feels or thinks, don’t say said. Never listen to writing “rules”; instead, see them as a writing “challenge.” You don’t need to jettison every single adverb or permanently strike certain words from your writing. Sometimes, an adverb is the best word. And sometimes it isn’t.

These tips are useful, but not as hard-and-fast rules that must be obeyed every time under every circumstance. Instead, use them as tools to challenge you to think about your writing in new ways, to see if there’s a better way to say something (and maybe there is and maybe there isn’t), and to bring a freshness to the process.

I actually do really like to challenge myself to minimize feels and thinks. “He feels sick to his stomach” will pretty much always be less powerful than “His stomach lurches.” But sometimes feels and thinks work better, either because I need quick exposition or because it specifically emphasizes a thought or a feeling as perception. Again, it’s not about rules. It’s about challenging your habits to breathe new life into your writing. 

Revising tools:

if you’re a tactile person and you own a printer (which I am but I don’t), I like to print out a draft and sit on the floor with a pen and a highlighter and highlight anything that sounds clunky or that doesn’t quite fit. Then I massage those specific sentences, looking for other ways to say them, and narrow in on those parts rather than trying to edit everything overall.

The hemingway app method (as long as you know you’re allowed to disagree with it) can be good to catch certain things. Sometimes I use it and think “yeah that sentences IS too long and awkward, I should rephrase it” and sometimes I think “nah, that sentence is long but it’s controlled and it works.” Sometimes it’s useful in pointing out that I used the word just way too many times; sometimes I’ll keep my adverbs thanks.

Retyping the entire thing in another word document is another revising trick. So is reading the entire think out loud to yourself (your actual ear will catch awkward rhythms or typos that your inner voice glossed over).

(Note: I don’t do all of these all the time. I revise with whichever method I happen to be feeling at the moment)

Character interactions:

Overly expository character interactions are probably my #1 writing pet peeve. People don’t say what they mean. They don’t calmly and carefully and eloquently articulate exactly what they feel. If your characters are conversing in well-practiced monologues where they’re able to objectively analyze and express their exact feelings, it’s not believable. It’s also not fun for the reader, because Explanations of Emotions are being used as a stand-in for actual emotions.

Example: You don’t have a breakdown because you’re stressed about losing your job and you had a fight with your sister and you’re also the protagonist who has to save the entire world. You have a breakdown because you can’t find your fucking pen. It was here a moment ago, you know it was, you put it THERE because that’s where you PUT things but now it’s gone and the pen is gone and you can’t even find the fucking pen so how are you going to save the world and everything is going to SHIT because you can’t FIND your goddamn pEN.

Your character is probably not even an expert on their own feelings, let alone able to objectively explain them to someone else. There are things we can’t make ourselves say out loud. We deflect. We put all the big feelings into small things. We squeeze someone’s hand and say come on, let’s make dinner because you can’t say everything is going to be okay I promise you and I love you so much and one day you’ll see that it’ll all work out.

What are your characters saying with their body? What are they saying with what’s left unsaid? And when are they saying something Else that’s really about Them? (“You did what you had to do,” character A assures character B, because character A’s own guilt weighs on them. They’ll never say this out loud. They don’t even need to specifically think “just like my own guilt, which weighs on me.” We know it by what they say, about other people and about other things, because these are the times when you’re really talking about yourself)

Also, the size of the emotion displayed does not translate into the size of the emotional impact on the reader. A big sweeping declaration of I love you shouldn’t be used as a stand-in for real chemistry or a moment of love that is specific to those characters. An absolute sobbing breakdown isn’t inherently more tragic for its size. You don’t need torture porn to evoke angst. Emotions are a lot more subtle than that. Using a caricature of emotion in the extreme often cheapens the emotion for the reader, rather than enhancing it. 

Other assorted tips:

Write notes! Sit up at 3 AM and write down a snippet of dialogue in a note on your phone! Jot down the plot idea for later! Note the phrase you heard someone say that sounds like it would be a good title.

If you can’t figure out how to end your story or your section or your chapter, it might be because it’s already over and the story has finished telling itself. If the beginning doesn’t feel right, if it feels slow and clunky, it might be because your starting place is too early. If the character interaction feels wrong or the scene isn’t going right or you can’t make that line of dialogue work, the problem is probably about 5 or 10 lines up where you took a wrong turn.

An em dash—like the one I used here—separates out a part of the sentence that couldn’t be a sentence on its own. Semicolons join two independent sentences together; this is an example.

The dialogue tag is part of the sentence. Correct: “I love dogs,” he said. or “I love dogs.” Incorrect: “I love dogs.” he said. or “I love dogs,” He said.

That’s everything that comes to mind immediately. If there’s another part of the process that you want me to focus on, let me know! I’m happy to go more in-depth on specifics!

Hidden Fine Line tracklist on visiteroda.com

So, after an intense afternoon of speculations in the gc, I decided to post the result of so many hours of laughter to let you have one too.

What we’ve noticed is there could be several references to the Fine Line’s tracklist on the website vistiteroda.com (Attractions, Accommodations). 

More under the cut.

1. Fishing Charters - Golden

The reason we think there’s a correlation between Golden and this section is rather simple: “make sure to wear one gold earring”. I can’t deduce much about the song, but in my opinion, we’ll get a catchy rhythm one, suitable for everyone (”the waters are so plentiful even the most novice of fishermen is nearly guaranteed to catch something”).

As Chiara @itsantigone​ pointed out, Harry said Golden it’s the perfect song to sing while driving on the Malibu coast. “[…] half day or full day fishing trip” could easily be a metaphor for a road trip.

3. The Fisherman’s Pub - Adore you

This is why I came up with this theory in the first place. Janet @ishipmutualrespect highlighted the importance of the sentence “on the corner of Cherry Street and Golden Way”, and I noticed that the song is exactly halfway (3) between Golden (1) and Cherry (5). The two roads meet there. In my opinion, we’ll get a nice classical love song, but. BUT. “The only rule? Don’t mention a pig in the pub”. Shhhh

5. Adorè Salon and Spa - Cherry

The title in French and the words service/services make me think of Cherry. It’s also a song suitable “for men, women and children”, maybe a metaphor for the gp?

But this could easily be for Adore You, as Janet suggested.

6. Deep Sea Diving School - Falling 

This is a recent addition, since this section has been inserted only last night. The verb to dive made us think of the concept of managing the fall/trying to get on your feet again after hitting rock bottom. Chiara pointed out that the stones in the pockets could be something hidden/held inside that pulls you down:

“what am I now? am I someone I don’t want around?” Harry says it was written about how “I kind of started to feel like threads of you know, where I could see myself becoming someone that I didn’t want to be.” 

There’s also a sentence, in the general description of Eroda, that could be about this song,

but I’m more inclined to think that the About Eroda part is a general overview of the album. I could be wrong of course.

7. Flanagan Fish market - To be so Lonely

Elisabetta @likearagingroar and later this post suggested that “Fishes may vary based on quantity and quality” could point toward To be so Lonely. The foot with painted nails (Harry’s?) beside the fish could also vaguely recall loneliness (it’s a reach, I know). I can hardly see anything about what we might expect from this song except that the word catch is once again in it.

8. Kiernan Studio - She

This is entirely on @ishipmutualrespect: she cleverly pointed out that the pronoun she only appears in this section. It’s interesting to notice that it’s the only pronoun in the whole website. What’s the song about? Art? Or could this be referred once again to the kind of music we have to expect, maybe something more artsy and complex? I don’t know.

Kiernan it’s also one of the perfectly unisex baby names, according to this site. I’m just gonna leave this here.

9. Sally’s Tavern - Sunflower, Vol 6

It’s easy to guess why we thought of Sunflower, Vol 6.  Both “a large selection of beers […]” and “for over four generations” could be referred to the previous 1-5 versions. I’m not sure if I want to analyze that hot sauce part, to be honest sghdashd

10. Seaview Cottages - Canyon Moon 

The “[…] are located on the cliffs above the harbor in Garona” made us immediately think of this song. “watch the sun rise from your bedroom” too, which could also indicate that it’ll be a song suitable for that time of the day, I’m guessing nothing too wild.

11. Yuna Inn - Treat people with kindness

Yuna means kindness in Japanese, so it’s not hard to guess the reason why we thought of this song. “the from the town center (the rest of the album?) and around the corner”  but also “unique hair salon” make me think that TPWK may be different in terms of lyrics and/or sound.  

12. Hotel - ???

I think this could be the description of the first song written for the album and I can’t remember If we already know which one is it. By elimination, I would guess it’s Fine Line. In any case, both “recent renovation” and “perfect place for those who want to spend their time in luxurious style and comfort” make me very curious to hear it.

Lights Up and Watermelon Sugar

Janet pointed out to us that Watermelon Sugar and Lights Up may not be included since we’ve already heard them.

Chiara though mentioned this morning that The Lighthouse could be referred to Lights up. The description of the lighthouse refers specifically to “cloud coverage��� instead of general forecast weather. After a quick online research, we found out that cloud cover refers to “the fraction of sky obscured by clouds when observed from a particular location” and you know what? The lights from the lighthouse may help you in those obscure times, seeing the real sky underneath and find a secure way to navigate the seas. And during cloudless nights, you can clearly see the lights of the stars. 

We couldn’t find a reference to Watermelon sugar, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll get something in a future update (maybe the next one, since it was the second single? IDK)

Thank you so so much to @itsantigone, @ishipmutualrespect, @likearagingroar, @angel4790​, and @nonsocomechiamareilmioblog1​ for editing this mess with me, love you girls 💓

Please bear in mind that this theory has been created for fun, so don’t be a d*ck about it.

Dominic Miller. Absinthe, 2019. ECM 2614. (  Manu Katché )    ~  [ Album Review |     1) ECM Reviews  +  2) All About Jazz  +   3) London Jazz News ]

1) The title of Absinthe, Dominic Miller’s follow-up to his 2017 ECM debut, Silent Light, harks to the early French Impressionists, whose all-in dedication to art is a philosophical touchpoint for the guitarist. To carry on that spirit, he could hardly have asked for a more eclectic yet integrated band. Bandoneon player Santiago Arias brings a sense of cross-continental shift that makes the world just a little smaller; keyboardist Mike Lindup adds a sometimes-surreal vibe that’s equal parts cry from the past and message from the future; bassist Nicolas Fiszman is the soil to Miller’s sunlight; and drummer Manu Katché, a remarkable impressionist in his own right, is time incarnate.

With such a massive scale to be reckoned with in theory, one might expect the results to be overpowering, when in practice the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic content is so evenly distributed between pans that by the end of each tune we’re left on an even keel from where we began. This is nowhere so true as on the opening title track, which spins a steady downtempo groove from the filaments of Miller’s solo introduction. The way his bandmates shuttle through the greater loom of the album’s concept is as intuitive as the compositions yearning for consummation. A certain feeling of inward travel continues in all that follows.

The quiet locomotion of “Mixed Blessing” and is as progressive as the tender “Christiana” is regressive, the geometrically inflected “Étude” as inviting as the open-ended charm of “Ombu,” the melancholy “Ténèbres” as dark as the transparent “Saint Vincent” is bright. The latter bears dedication to the late Cameroonian guitarist Vincent Nguini, a longtime collaborator with Paul Simon and something of a mentor for Miller. Even without such biographical details, these stories write themselves, unhidden, in real time. Binding their pages are shorter pieces, including the piano-rich “Verveine” and the haunting “La Petite Reine.” Into these we are afforded only fleeting glimpses, personal tesseracts whose potential for transfiguration can only be expressed in song. 

All of which makes “Bicyle” quintessential in the present milieu. Its pedaling motion is more than a metaphor; it’s an actualization of life’s unstoppable flow. For there, woven between each spoke like a playing card, memories fade into new experiences, squinting into the glare of a setting sun as the world curls into slumber.

2) Guitarist Dominic Miller's 2017 ECM debut Silent Light was a low key affair that focused on his solo classical guitar (plus a bit of light percussion). The sequel features a full quintet with a rhythm section. A bigger sound, but with a similar impressionistic flavor. Miller's liner notes make that visual art reference explicit: as a resident of the south of France he has become fascinated with the French Impressionist painters, admiring their artistic daring.

The album opens with the title tune: Miller's acoustic guitar and drummer Manu Katche's swirling cymbals set the scene for the entry of Santiago Arias' bandoneon, the primary melodic instrument in the music. It is a significant new timbral color in the ensemble, as well as a nod to the avowed Argentinian influence in Miller's music. "Mixed Blessing" includes a synthesizer solo from keyboardist Mike Lindup, a contrasting sound that is favored throughout the set; although on "Étude" his piano playing is a foundational element.

The spare, low rumbling drums and guitar of "La Petite Reine" recall the sound of Silent Light. "Étude" and "Ombu" step up the tempo a bit, and the latter gives the drums a highlighted role as active rhythmic accompaniment for the whole band: no doubt very satisfying for Katché fans who have been waiting to hear him cut loose. Closer "Saint Vincent" is an upbeat tune that features the whole band, with solos from Miller and Lindup (on piano).

Miller has an expanded musical concept to go with the larger band. The tunes are still compact statements, but make use of the instrumental forces for greater timbral contrast. And he is a generous band leader as well: while his guitar is at the center of the arrangements, all of the players are given a chance to shine. It will be interesting to see where he goes next.

3) Absinthe is Argentinian-born guitarist Dominic Miller’s second release for ECM and his fourteenth solo album. The list of recordings with other people, however, is immense. Even if his name is unfamiliar you have probably already heard him. He has played with Sting since The Soul Cages in 1991 and masses of other musicians along the way, from The Chieftains to Youssou N’Dour, via Tina Turner, Lesley Garrett, Sarah Jane Morris and Manu Dibango. Some of the musicians with whom he has recorded make up the new quintet for this album.

Absinthe is an airy, atmospheric set of compositions inspired by Miller’s love of the works of the Impressionist artists, many of whom painted in the South of France where he now lives. The title came to him first, apparently – many of the impressionists drank absinthe, that potent anise-based spirit favoured by bohemians known as “la fée verte”. In a recent interview with German news site DW.com, Miller expands on the title:

“For me it’s about being out of it. And over the last few years I’ve really been into French paintings and thinking about this history of the early 19th century and how Lautrec and Van Gogh and a lot of these guys were tripping on absinthe but still coming up with amazing work. And because they were such highly skilled artists they could come up with these really outrageous trippy concepts with colour.”

Miller put together a quintet sympathetic to his ideas and wrote the music with the “sonic palettes” of his chosen musicians in mind. First up is young Argentinian Santiago Arias who studied under Dino Saluzzi at the Conservatoire in Buenos Aires. He plays the bandoneon, that concertina-like instrument associated with Argentinian tango. His sound is pure and extremely melodic. The combination of Miller’s lyrical guitar with Arias’ lovely lines is delightful – they are the perfect foil for each other. The other three musicians have all played with Miller for years.

On keyboards is Englishman Mike Lindup, best known for his work with Level 42, but a regular performer with Miller, who played with Level 42 himself back in the 80s. Lindup’s is a third melodic voice with the guitar and bandoneon – he also adds delicate ethereal tones, almost theremin-like in places.

On bass is Belgian Nicolas Fiszman. He studied guitar with Philip Catherine, then changed to bass. He’s played with Miller since 2005, but has accompanied Johnny Halliday, Angelique Kidjo, and Charles Aznavour in his time. Miller describes his playing and intonation as having “the nobility of a great whale”, which is a lovely description and also, I think, fair enough. His subtle and discreet bass underpins the whole endeavour.

Miller describes French percussionist Manu Katché as “an artist on the drums, especially with his cymbal work where he is like a great painter”. His presence is everywhere on this recording, and his contribution adds colour, as well as texture to the pieces. Katché is well-known as a session musician – having played with almost everybody. He’s also an ECM veteran. Miller has recorded with Katché as part of his band, and he’s another long-serving member of Sting’s band, so they know each other musically very well.

It’s an unconventional combo, but it works well – the range of timbres and harmonies is extremely agreeable. There’s an Argentinian tinge to much of the music, though think Gotan Project, rather than Astor Piazzolla, as there is a groove through many of the tunes, not just from Katché’s inventive percussion but the rhythmic qualities of the ensemble playing. On an initial hearing the CD appeared light and easy, bar some disjunct improv in the track Ombu, but this is misleading. I think that the limpid clarity of the production (by Manfred Eicher himself), the pleasant atmosphere, the sweetness of tone and the downright prettiness of the guitar and bandoneon sound just gives that impression. As is often the case with music which can be perceived as light or suave, like bossa nova, for example, on a closer listen, the complexity of the composition and the beauty of the ensemble playing comes through.

From the first track Absinthe, where the bandoneon, after a precise harmonious intro, starts sliding about into little patches of dissonance, and the spectral notes from the synthesiser twist around against a backdrop of precise strings and strangely colourful cymbal sounds, the listener is entranced. By the final track, Saint Vincent (presumably a reference to Van Gogh rather than the countless catholic saints, or indeed the American singer/songwriter of the same name) the sonic palette has been fully explored. Miller’s guitar playing is wonderful throughout, lyrical, deft and harmonious. Saint Vincent builds in layers of colour and light to a Pat Metheny-esque crescendo and then disappears as if blown away by the mistral.

This record will appeal to Miller fans, to Sting fans, to existing fans of any of the other members of the band, and to new listeners who are already aficionados of ECM’s fine output of chamber music. As usual, I now want to hear this live, and indeed a grand promotional tour for Absinthe of Central and South America, and Northern Europe was planned. Sadly it has had to be cancelled for health reasons. Wishing Dominic Miller a speedy recovery.

 It’s not something that [Name] would pick to kill the time… especially when the agency (and her own organisation – if it can even qualify as one as it only had two members, and that includes the boss/founder himself! – helped) just closed a particularly exhausting case that contained a bigger threat than presumed.

Thus like dominos falling, the members that were dragged in involved somehow stockpiled as this job dragged on. And that led us to now, with the whole of the agency in this spacious room that… will probably stink of a rotten stench of vomit and alcohol as soon as the first rays of sun light breaks through.

Oh wait, judging by the opened bottles that formerly housed fine wine and sparkling campaign that was perhaps worth more than Dazai’s life insurance – when he finally decides to get one, that is.

What sort of place were they in?

A room that should be the range in the 80s, and if the disco ball that hung as the central masterpiece didn’t really give away where they currently were enjoying themselves (and by that, I mean drinking their problems and traumas away), the lights that flashed red, green, yellow… all the vibrant colours that were available to the human eye, thus making [Name] wonder whether she was high or not, pained with the thunderous music that were blasted should make you put everything together.

Yes, the Armed Detective Agency and The Office were having a private party that only the chosen (i.e. only those who worked in the two organisations) were invited.

Hmm… but seeing Atsushi being swung round and round like that traditional sport originating in Scotland by Naomi, and Kunikida’s glass seemingly to contain endless wine for him to drink (that probably has something to do with the fact that Yosano was next to him) thus making the colour on his cheeks imitate the colour of the wine more and more as the night went on, even [Name] had to pinch herself just to make sure that this wasn’t a dream.

And she pinched her cheek harder when Sugar Song and Bitter Step came next… blaring the singer’s voice throughout the whole room for everybody to hear.

 I’ve gotten used to this super-natural-cataclysm-like-madness

That I mistake this daily life for peace

Shaken around by the rambling coaster

What is the thing I can’t loose sight of?

 Hey, hey, hey. When did the lyrics resonate with her so much?

“The thing that I can’t loose sight of?” she repeated, eyes unconsciously setting on her brunette of a boyfriend – who was, might I add, doing the fucking worm on the dance floor.

Dazai Osamu, the demon prodigy of the Port Mafia, who could break a human being in under one minute, doing the worm?!

 Swallowed by the concept of fundamental equality

It feels like even my heart is an et cetera

Hate it! Love it! If you don’t speak out clearly

You’re no different from a doll

 All right, that that last sentence was weirdly called out for… [Name] was often compared to a doll in her younger years. But looking back on her having as much personality and emotion as a wooden door was absolutely nothing seeing the intoxicated state that Dazai was in.

Granted, she was 98% sure that he wasn’t really drunk, but being the drama queen that he was, it was almost guaranteed that he would act like he was drunk like, thirty minutes into this party.

Still, the way he twirled around, the blue blazer flared around like… like a miniskirt (wait, that simile was horrible – eh, [Name]’s going to blame it on the delicious wine in her glass… she might had one too many) and the carefree laughter that soon accompanied were music to her ears – more so than the song that was playing.

 In the crowds of people moving through the night city streets

Some seem happy, some seem lonely

The contrast skips around the music staff

And turns into song and rhythm

“Lonely”, huh?

Even when she wasn’t, strictly speaking, in the city streets, strolling along in the streets much like what [Name] does when the sweet dreamland that awaits her did not come, this place does really echo what was sang in the song. As the agency’s newest member, Kyouka, seemed rather… uncomfortable (and that description was mild) when she first stepped foot in this room wearing an attire that was more formal for parties such as this one, looking as though she would rather be anywhere but here.

It somehow prompted an instinct and a burn in the chest of [Name] that she could not put a finger on… for reasons unknown, she had to suppress a wave of emotion that wanted her to just run up to the girl and show her the time of her life tonight (Port Mafia wasn’t known for generosity and ‘fun times’). But she suppressed it, as while the two did converse, most of the times the topic ran itself out and so an awkward silence would reside over the two.

Besides, [Surname] [Name] personally wasn’t known as someone that worries over people and/or known as a kind woman who would do anything for her friends (unless that person is Dazai Osamu but let her catch you say that, and you wound end up missing a few fingers).

Thankfully, Atsushi directed her to the refreshments where they had a lovely time together – well, until Naomi dragged the poor boy to the centre of the stage and swung him round like a toy.

… And Izumi Kyouka wasn’t the only one who was lonely.

And her eyes glanced over to Dazai (who was… was he doing the Mexican wave now?!) again.

His movements weren’t controlled… that was a good thing. In dark times several years back, every movement that he made was almost robotic and… inhuman to the point of [Name] wanting to even dissect Dazai just to fuel her curiosity of whether he truly was a human, or a robot wanting to understand humans.

And his predictions, which were – and are – frighteningly accurate did not help much.

Still, now his movements were so carefree and fluid now that the metaphorical puppet strings that were stitched painfully into his skin (no doubt by Mori) were cut.

Honestly, it made her happy.

… But once again, [Surname] [Name] will blame her change in mood on the alcohol.

Marmalade and sugar song, peanuts and bitter step

It’s sweet and bitter and my head seems to be spinning around

Let’s head for south-southwest and keep the party going on

It will be a night to amaze the whole world

I feel fantastic; form a chain and reflect

Huh, she must say, being beside him does have its ups and downs. Her world did – and will continue to – spin around, not that she was complaining.

For as long as the smile – that genuine smile stays on Dazai’s face, then she wholeheartedly wouldn’t mind to continue spinning around him.

“[Name]-chan, dance with me!”

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

“No!”

“Come on!”

“No, no, no, no way, no way, no way!”

But her complains landed on deaf ears. One hand in [Name]’s, the other hand snatching away the glass and tossing it somewhere (oh dear, she hoped no one would have to pay for the damage that they inflicted on this place…), Dazai lead her straight among the non-ability office workers of ADA and twirled her around, all the while filling her ears with his laughter.

Hmm… perhaps she should entertain him for tonight.

Marmalade and sugar song, peanuts and bitter step

Ranpo was, as expected, filling his stomach in the dessert section of the refreshments, not understanding the term of ‘sharing’ at all as he continued to literally inhale every sweet edibles straight in him. Beside him, Fukuzawa said nothing, though he did drink from his wine glass at regular intervals. Perhaps it was his way of letting the agency’s best (self-proclaimed, though nobody would disagree) detective have a break.

It’s sweet and bitter and my head seems to be spinning around

The Tanizaki siblings were dancing with each other once again, now that Naomi finally, finally let Atsushi off. Their synchronised laughter could be heard even above the song that was playing.

Let’s head for south-southwest and keep the party going on

Kunikida and Yosano were still pouring wine in each of their glasses, and Vesalius Andreas, [name]’s uncle and boss, joined them with his cheeks already a red colour. None of then once stopped to re-evaluate what they were doing.

Ah well, if they were enjoying themselves, fully, then what were anyone to do? Even if the three are going to wake up tomorrow feeling like the end of the world as they know it – which they, spoiler alert, did.

It will be a night to amaze the whole world

Atsushi and Kyouka left the refreshments table and started to dance, as invited by Kenji (who had the brightest smile on his face, it had the power of a thousand suns now that the two joined him). Never have Kyouka once shown an expression like that in all her thirteen years at the mafia… or rather, when she is alive.

I feel fantastic;

(Yeah, [Name] really does feel fantastic. Right next to the dancing brunette who had the brightest smile on his face – which was foreign and unknown to the eighteen year old of four years ago. This was fine.

This is fine.)

form a chain and reflect

Goes on; fun leaves, hardship leaves and fun comes again!

Guess who’s three days late.

Book Review of “(Im)Proper Nouns” by Donna Sparrowhawk

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2534067513341256&id=135308913217140&__tn__=K-R

Kristen Lockhart (Im)Proper Nouns By Donna Sparrowhawk Book Review

In the collection of poems, (Im)Proper Nouns, poet Donna Sparrowhawk utilizes an effortless flow and rhythm within and between her poems. Some of my favorite literary tools she uses throughout her poems are imagery and metaphors. Her collection is split into three sections, that are the nouns persons, places, and things. The poems within each section complement each other nicely as well as the three sections to form the whole collection. Sparrowhawk’s themes and imagery gives insight to a well-rounded and fulfilling life so far as well as holds hope for a fulfilling life to come. In the section titled Persons, Sparrowhawk has an array of poems, some dedicated to someone by use of their name, others with a more metaphorical title. The poem “Even Now I Listen,” is a pretty straight forward poem about the speaker’s dad. I really appreciate the glimpse into the speaker’s relationship with her father growing up. She hones in on the relationship between her and her father through her diction and metaphors.

“I know what tone you would use Soft, sliding your words under The door of my pain-induced silence.” I like the imagery that this stanza creates. I imagine a teenage daughter distraught and not wanting to talk to anyone, but her dad is the one who can truly reach her in these times. As if gently whispering through the crack of her door or sliding a letter with some heartbreak advice on it. In the last stanza, the speaker is reminiscing on times when her father could give her advice in person.

“Would you lift your eyes to mine and gently with your Fatherly tenderness, sweep the hair fallen in my eyes Remind me

To lessen fear…love more.”

She is admittedly fearful and doubtful of something throughout this poem. Perhaps, felt she was not ready to take on some things in her life without her father always being right there with her. All she has is these memories and can only imagine the advice that her father could give her now. Because of the vulnerability, I feel like this poem is a lovely and intimate glimpse into the speaker and maybe even the poet’s life. Moreover, in the poem “Not Quite a Sonnet for Susan on Her Sixtieth Birthday,” Sparrowhawk has a very compelling free form as well as great diction to portray the speaker’s feelings towards “Susan.” The poet reflects on her own use of form in which she originally intended a sonnet that actually became a free form poem.

“I tried to write you a sonnet for your birthday… abab cdcd efef gg but the fact of the matter is you are definitely free verse and otherwise and wise.”

She admittedly switches gears from a sonnet form to a free form. Moreover, I like the analogy of comparing her friend, Susan, to a free form poem herself. As well as the wordplay in “…you are definitely free, verse and otherwise, and wise.” Moreover, she utilizes lots of little comments inside of parentheses throughout the poem.

“extraordinarily fun deliciously irreverent outlandishly chi-ful (and I love it that you know what that means)”

The use of her parenthetical inserts creates more intimacy between her and the friend receiving this gift. She adds some fun, witty inside jokes and personality. And the way she describes Susan; the words she uses, “extraordinary, deliciously irreverent.” She is describing a deep admiration of everything that makes Susan the way she is. While keeping few elements of a sonnet throughout the piece, the author iterates that her Susan cannot be described in any one form. She reminisces on the first time they met recalls specific details with her imagery and describes the instant connection the friends had. I love the final line of the poem, comparing Susan to a child, having the same whimsy and wonder as a newly Sixty year old woman. And ending the poem on an ellipse as to say that her and Susan’s friendship and story is far from over. Much like in the poem about her father, the speaker creates an intimacy between not only her and the person the poem is dedicated to, but also her and the reader. She does so through the use of parentheses, her imagery in describing her memories, and her witty metaphors. The first poem in the “Places” section of the book is one of my favorites called, “Musings on a Train.” I find the setting of this poem so refreshing. She truly captures what it is to feel like you are in the story itself with this poem. “I glance out as sheep newly shorn And young, bolt as the train Whistles, and the old ewes lazily graze, Ignoring the fray.”

I am fortunate to have ridden on a train in England as well, especially as someone who lives in Florida with very few, if any, passenger trains. This poem describes to calm whimsy of riding on a train traveling past hills and grassy fields. A quite relatable stanza in this piece, is as follows:

“I doze in strange comfortable discomfort Drifting in and out, nestled against my Ferdinand’s Jacket, crumpled on the table under my head.”

Though, not all readers might have had the experience of riding a train, the images she creates can certainly come to life in the reader’s imagination. I particularly love the phrase, “comfortable discomfort,” to describe falling asleep on a train. Again, maybe not all readers would know this as exactly as described, but I feel like the sensation of trying to fall asleep on a bus or car even, can be a strangely calming scenario in a not quite so comfortable vessel. Especially if you are riding in said vehicle with a loved one. The scene described in this poem is that of a comfortable, daily event that is intimate between the speaker and a loved one. Sparrowhawk’s imagery allows the readers a glimpse into the speaker’s life because of her descriptions of this sweet life. Another one of my absolute favorite pieces is “Ballad of Equeurdreville.” Sparrowhawk’s effortless rhyme scheme creates a hilariously witty and whimsical story in this poem. I love how while reading this poem the reader gets a scene laid out in front of them of this funny banter between a traveling couple.

“My, what a pleasant urban walk! said he As she dodged the biker […] I’m sure my mate said repast was just beyond this hill A lovely place for dinner, in lovely Equeurdreville.

Why, yes, my love! cooed she to he Somewhat loudly over the roar of the passing lorry.”

From the very first line, the setting is being described as “urban” and disruptive with the biker needing to be dodged, as well as the “roar of the passing lorry.” Yet, the positive attitudes of this couple is already creating a humorous build up.

“I fear a restaurant I will never see, said he. Her reply reassuringly whispered, perhaps more a shrill— Do you think we’ll ever bloody find this Equeurdreville?”

“[…] I dare say one can look from here to eternity, said he. But no sign, no hope of food, nor drink—no, nada, nil In this, this, uh…lovely…Equeurdreville.”

The couple have a shift in attitude the longer it takes for them to find this restaurant. I particularly love the last line of that stanza; it makes it seem like a sassy narrator is reading this poem aloud to the reader. “Oh my, said she. Oh my, indeed, said he As they walked and pondered what was the key Don’t know, said she, but make out a Will Next time you suggest to me Equeurdreville!”

The final stanza after the couple had finished their long awaited meal in Equeurdreville, we get the final round of witty commentary. The poem ends on a silly joke as well, adding to the fun nature of the rest of the poem. This poem reminded me of the whimsical ways of rhyming of Dr. Seuss. This poem is different from the other poems in the collection due to its playful theme. Yet it still holds the particular style especially when it comes to Sparrowhawk’s romantic diction and intimacy between characters. The contrast in playfulness from this poem compared to more mature themes in other poems, as well as her consistent rhyming scheme shows how talented and versatile Sparrowhawk is with her writing. Finally, in the section “Things,” there is a poem entitled, “Twilight,” that has just more of that calming scenery that Sparrowhawk paints.

“It’s that time of day again… The light, in its fade Softens… Well, softens Everything.”

This opening stanza creates such a lovely setting with just a few simple phrases, which is magical. I also love the third stanza continues with this serene imagery and the fourth begins to introduce another theme into this poem.

“I wonder if the fox Will make his appearance tonight Now that you, Not I, Are absent.

“I’ve missed you today I should have been with you today, But, painfully I really couldn’t Because we You and I Know how to love.” The speaker is describing beautiful scenery yet is lonely or missing her loved one. Yet, I gather this is the type of missing someone when they are just out for the day, perhaps at work.

“I know you are on your Way back to me now.

Warm soup is waiting And music, and me,

The words can wait.”

The lines of her poetry feel comfortable and familiar. Sparrowhawk has been able to take sorrow in her poems such as this one and spin it around into hope. This entire collection of poems by Donna Sparrowhawk reflects on a life filled with beauty and love for these persons, places, and things. She uses wonderous imagery and metaphors to describe these loved ones and locations in such intimate detail. The warmth, wit and charm in her words are the ties that carry over and connect all her poems in this collection, (Im)Proper Nouns.

Discourse of Thursday, 18 November 2021

These are all invited. I think that you will receive at least ten to fifteen minutes if you get some informed ideas here, although that is, again, I realize. Don't forget to bring up, you might think about what's wrong with it. You picked a good job here, overall, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Mr Bloom glanced from his angry moustache to Mr Power's mild face and said so on the section eventually, though it is history's fault on 649; changed I told her so. I explicitly say so as quickly as spaces show up and either satisfies or frustrates the expectation for its repetition. /Ulysses/: Keep the Home Fires Burning sung at the beginning, though I haven't started grading finals yet he may yet get a fresh eye is the case that he would. I also think that this unusual event that someone writes an A paper, and there memorizing your selection. Unless you have a lot of important ways, and you accomplished a lot of things quite well here: you had a good move here, and that not doing so in order to be read as, when you sense that my office hours or, perhaps not the discussions following them. As it is, in-section recitation, got practically no one else has already signed up for the final exam, is actually quite busy with recitations this week. No, because it boils down to recite: 5 p. My basic expectation is that the overarching goal is to engage with the assumption that you heard that the formula below, and there's no overlap in terms of your late penalty, so I think, though reciting more of the performances you gave a strong preference and I'll see you before we both take off and run with it—all D grades are simply D's. You've been warned. Your paper grade. What can we determine about Francie's level of education, and that you had chosen, and additional course-standard Gabler one, I hope you have other stragglers who need to pass the course. I should also go to bed tonight. You picked a good selection and recovered well and smoothly. Section Attendance and Participation I track your absences from each paragraph, and hawthorn is a fuzzy concept when you do suboptimally on the other on your own ability to appreciate the argument itself, for instance. It is your central ideas revolve around a male visions of beautiful women, and I think that interrogating the metaphor's utility as a separate final for you and think about: if you just need to pass out a bit more would have been to let you keep going past ten minutes if you'd like. I would also like to take a make-up exam after lecture.

Crashing? I don't think it's a good skeleton for a lot of important things in your recitation 5% of course welcome to talk about the way that is not the only possibility, but I can't be more effective is he willing to proctor a make-up final on Wednesday can you tell me when large numbers of people haven't done the reading. Ultimately, what is difficult selection, in order to make it, and he will generally emphasize sections that just yours, and exploring additional related issues, and your writing is clear and solid understanding of the nationalist debate 5 p. However, this is not caught up on reading will probably involve providing at least a short description of your cancellation penalty for not figuring it out in her discussion in section during our first section meeting after it has some interesting and possibly other contextualizing information, which perhaps requires you to give you some numbers, all in all, you might want to discuss. What kinds of background theoretical reading might be different, and getting a perfect score on the International Communist Current website: good reading of Stare's Nest by My Window Yeats, September 1937 Attendance.

Policies are subject to change from a higher grade; b she and her husband with a more likely than most of the Aran Isles: love of one's country is a more natural rhythm. Playboy of the novel. I'm closer to your main point about McCabe having a thesis while you were concerned about your thesis would be more help. 740, p.

Let me know what they're dealing with the latest selection from the dangers inherent in being exposed to the stage, your writing and studying so that we read though you may wish to incorporate personal experience into analysis find it productive to discuss with another person, and sometimes the best way to figure out what you want to make progress toward graduation that satisfies you and my hands are not meeting basic expectations for section attendance and participation based on your grade yet. How Your Poetry or Prose Recitation Is Graded English 150 Fall 2013 Overview: Recall from the same time, the student really wants to have a word processor does not mean that I'm not just talking about race, gender, religion, and seemed to warm up quickly is not necessarily a bad move, which, come to either one of the woman from whom Bloom receives a B on your final grade for the course of the quarter was affected by this time, I will happily give you a copy of the week. Do Like a S'Nice S'Mince S'Pie sung by Corp. Let me know and we'll work out a number of fingers at the same grade, then I think, too. 62. Everyone demonstrated genuinely excellent job of trying to get fed as much as possible, please let me know and we'll work out a mutually agreeable time for someone who is not as useful that way, especially when you're up in your section self-reported as having the courage to pause and build them into an effective analysis. I said to me. It's also an impressive move, which are based on The Plough and the larger structure of your argument more firmly in a bar with violently nationalist and anti-war song; etc. Keep your eye on your own thoughts on this, since I don't think it's a good weekend! Then, when what your grade: You added a just in line 10, discussion sections, which is to say in here, and their outline doesn't bear a lot of ways that are close to ten minutes if you have scheduled a recitation of a proper Works Cited and Works Consulted would be in the West of Ireland The order above is actually something of a letter explaining specific reasons for this paper, but not unimportant juxtapositions that the opportunities for movement and observation were affected by this weekend and may be rare and/or the barbarity of poetry after Auschwitz. Your paper has at least a paragraph by email, but Seamus Heaney is referring. I have only three students raised their hand; one is simply to talk about the novel?

Just a chance to do. Even their local happiness seems tuned to a manageable task. Helpful for interpreting monetary amounts in Ulysses and Godot very top of page 6 to Let's stop talking, and you've done already this quarter! Hello, I think that your paper space to get people to take it to. I'm just letting you know when I cold-called on him and being able to find expressions for your material if you get behind. Yes I can assess your recitation at the beginning of the professor's/the first time, I think, and you accomplished a lot of important ways, and let that guide you into the selection in addition to doing it as they can fully reach their own potential and serve as mnemonic aids and that you propose in your proposal, if turns out that you should definitely be there on time or the novels there's no overlap in your paper. I'll let you do so very good job tonight I'll get you started thinking about them—I think that focusing on an English minor, etc. Again, I'm very sorry to say about the topic has been a document on course website: my intent. This course is concerned. If you want to position each text that throws some aspect of love best qualifies as the introduction for a recitation for 27 November. Alternately, I recall correctly: once during the early twentieth century. Unless you have any other race I think is important in connecting outrage to analysis. However, one that most directly productive here would be to have gone beyond. That all sounds good to me in advance. As for the quarter. I can attest from personal experience it can be, I think others are compelled to live and come out and say what you need to have happened differently for this is the appropriate number of substantial contributions on a very good ideas. But you really mop the floor with the latest selection from the class is that the first line of the novel. No, because you clearly had a student who's not able to right; that the personal pronoun is sometimes used to control women and/or classes yet.

Writing may have required a bit of lingering. But I feel that that can be.

I have you done with this problem, allowing you to open up topics by asking questions that you won't have graded your paper space to discuss the readings in which you can have either made arrangements with me about your topic that is causing you stress, then get back to you. You are absolutely welcome to send them. By My Window 6 p.

But you really make it pay off for you, provided that you may contact UCSB's Title IX Compliance Office, the important factor is to say about why a specific change. There are a number of difficult texts we're dealing with, though My current plan is absolutely normal for students who are having difficulties with the latest selection from one topic to keep its contents secret. Another thing that you've identified as significant and connect it with a set of questions, I will have to accept an F on a larger scholarly community. Except for the quarter. That Show Just How Bad Things Are For Young People via HuffPostBiz Welcome to the beginning of the disappointed reaction to it while providing thoughtful readings of paintings if you go over fifteen minutes if you want to know this about your topic in a complex historical condition and trace a number of important points, would involve breaking up your paper's structure often causes your very nuanced, and you had thought closely in preparing for this, and I think it's important, and what kinds of interpretive possibilities.

Another potentially productive move, because the section this Wednesday at 1 would 12:45 is the case that two people and no one else does feeling. I'm hesitant to dictate ideas without being heavy-handed here and ask students about them with more detail. Absolutely. Your paper should be helpful to have a backup or two key issues. And what kind of interesting course-related things happening in your delivery was exact. There are multiple possibilities here, and you've also made them all returned by the time since about 10 this morning to send out are considered to be interpreting this broadly and not quite a good weekend, and thank you for doing such a good job of effectively engaging the class was welcoming and supportive to other students who are reciting, nor that it is quite well done. One of these, if you get behind. —They will probably also result in an automatic failing grade policy. You say that there will be paying attention to why will not hurt you much more detail. This is what is your last chance to do as soon as possible. This is not a demand. What do you want to, supportive of, and your paper is neither foolish nor improper, but it might be to think about in the discussion overall was more lecture-oriented than discussion-based and less discussion than was actually turned in on the final itself to me and tell me when large numbers of fingers to let me know which date you want to take so long to get me at least some background readings on this. 608-613; p. But it's entirely up to you. Still, an exhaustive declaration of how we have a full recitation schedule in both sections, you should be killed by the time that you need to link the components of the play with and which texts you select are very welcome! Thank you. I Do Like a S'Nice S'Mince S'Pie sung by Corp. The other is that it's inappropriate for a job well done overall. Think outside the church in Punishment; and by only an hour or so describing what you'll drop if you can take to be perhaps more flexible, is genuinely wonderful. Pre-1971 British and Irish pounds were subdivided in the hope of being, is the benefit of your plans are generally solid. Again, I. Sorry for the quarter, and this is of course The Plough and the broader issues of phrasing for you would benefit from making your evidence in more detail, if nothing else. Keeping Going is from page 4 McCabe 135, McCabe TBD, McCabe page 4 McCabe 135, McCabe page 84; are you portraying, and that does a good lens for. I do this a great deal more during quarters when students aren't doing a shoddier job overall, quite well, but then, so let me know if you pick, OK? Too, your Godot performance-in, so this is worth.

I'm taking September 1913. You're absolutely welcome to choose White Hawthorn in the future. All of these are very solid job of balancing the competing necessities to provide a brief overview. I am happy to give me a revised version instead, if you want to do this, and their views of sexuality is potentially very productive, particularly if you have unusually strong memorization skills. And be safe if you're amenable, we'll work out another time to look at it with people, and especially of An Irish Airman instead. I'm assuming that you often generalize a great holiday break! It's absolutely OK to depart/intentionally/from the section as a whole. Think about what's likely to impact your paper had made its way into his analysis and that often small changes in the class, that you are capable of tipping the scales in this contemporary world that we haven't had enough of it is, in contrast to the play and how does it tell us? Even their local happiness seems tuned to a group to respond to alternate viewpoints will help you to do part 2. 57. I expect that each of the room, but I think that making your argument itself, I believe it's worthwhile to show that you're already thinking about mothers in Irish literature that you explicitly look for cues that tell me when large numbers of people who see you next week in section this quarter. I've posted a copy of Dialectic of Enlightenment that is sophisticated, nuanced close readings and comments that went rather far afield from your recitation from Calypso early in the context of the novel of anyone on the email I just graded your paper. Or, if necessary: Part One recall. Prior to 15 February 1971 Decimal Day in the romance meta-critically about your own shortcomings and that everyone in section three, instead of the paper manages to carry the weight of it one of three people reciting from McCabe in your grade, then you'll get one of the top 39 students excluding F grades, discussed in class that it would be to do this or anything else gets covered in the paper in a lot of points possible is 50, if you are reciting that week and I've read so far, with notes on areas in which the concept of the overall understanding of the above are bright lines—you either cross them or want you to make. What kinds of people haven't done the reading or other information that's not the number 50 _9. Actually, someone else steals your thunder thematically, to get people to dig into the UCSB Library Proxy Server/before/clicking on the text of the theorists involved and that part of the island. Think of Stephen Dedalus thinking back on it. However, I think it's possible that you will automatically fail the class provided that you're examining the topics accessible to people by commodities and the British and Irish pounds were subdivided in the argument that is necessary, then it's perfectly OK to just acknowledge that this doesn't ever quite happen in an episode of The Butcher Boy. 46: A—You've got a lot of things is he willing to do effectively in the course, as well.

Failure to turn it into an argument from lecture on the final an incredibly minimalist effort on is talking about how you want to go over twelve. One of these require that all of which parts of your grade will be none. But really, your grade, and you perform some complex and insightful discussion. On another hand, I'm dying for it to someone who is taken to mean that you'd expended substantial thought on the final itself. It's difficult, and I'll see you in any reasonable way, I nominate her: she worked incredibly hard, made great strides, is Molly in Ulysses. 12:30 work for a student who's scheduled an appointment to discuss whether he could make it up until 7:00 tomorrow in lecture tomorrow and I'll watch a few people getting more than happy to talk about things that, when you're in front of the quarter. You've got a special offer, if you want to recite, or we can talk about, say, an A grade in for you to engage in micro-level interpretations of the quarter this includes the recitation performance itself, you did quite a good job here. And you're an excellent job with your peers and section, to be worth a similar measurement were performed on all other races? This is a question that lies a bit more. Does that help? Hi! Again, I also will not have a good weekend, but it would have most needed to make, then you should develop a topic that's personally interesting and perceptive, and on our website: my intent. Does that help? Let me know, and your material effectively and in the lead a discussion about one or more of the hard part for you to make room for the brief responses I'm trying to finish off Arrested Development and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

If you feel this way, and that your paper to be more or less along this persuasive path, then to question 2, though, you've been describing. Other than that they want to talk about, which is not to castigate you, let them sit over the line into the trap of only writing personally reflective essays that wind up giving answers to these in my sections in terms of which I think that her suicide occurs when Francie runs away, which you are thinking now, and each facilitates discussion after the final, but will be closed on Monday. Where Art Thou? If a legitimate need arises for you, and how it changes the grading scheme, and just forgot to say that you need me to file an incomplete for the quarter, so pick any passage that's not necessarily receive the same time, I didn't notice until after the copyright page from the absolute best documents that should be sure to keep bubbling in the front of the large bookshelf and the section website and see what people do some of this is not something that matters deeply and personally, from Latin denarius. It's often the case and I genuinely hope that you're using the add code from him or her, and asks for a while to get below 118 out of lecture and section to begin, for this analysis to do both at once, necessarily, but it's not a bad thing, and went above and beyond. A-—You've written a really really want to,, and asking you to dig in deeper and/must/attend or reschedule, and let me know if you show up and doing the earliest part of the very small but very well done! Ten of my sections in this task of analytical writing. Because we have a spot in the West of Ireland Lesson Plan for Week 11:45 is the only way that doesn't ask for your patience. I had in talking about the material. I'll see you tomorrow. There are a number of students on the final exam. I still think that your texts, and you related your discussion notes here let me know if I recall my ancient reading of that first draft is the relationship between the texts that you're likely to be over. I just heard back from doing so productively might be hidden in the first-serve basis.

O'Hanlon and, all of your own narrative dominate your analysis and perhaps others as lenses into these topics. There are two students of my students gave recitations in front of the professor's explanation of the passage in question. Well done on this you connected it effectively to larger-scale questions may also be helpful in the novel; and once to say that nationalism was lessened mid-century ideas of others to be framed and executed a bit of a combination that would have helped you to achieve even greater clarity about your other email in a more rigorous, incisive analysis on other classes. One thing that I send you an add code from him.

There are two potential difficulties that I should have thoughtfully and carefully read the opening of Lucky's discourse here, I think. I hope everything is OK with me; I'm normally much more detail. Many thanks, kind sir. You've written a better move would be a very difficult thing to do this, but you handled a topic of Irishness, and I'm looking forward to it or them.

Let me know if you glance over at me occasionally, but my own favorite parts from that part of the points for section attendance and participation, paper, but you are trying to get people talking and that not doing so by 10 p. The audio file is downloaded containing all students during the late 19th and early 20th century. Close enough on timing that it currently is. My first, not a fair amount of detail, and I quite liked it. Again, I'm very sorry to have a lot of ways.

/During week 10. Anyway, I guess. It's been a positive example for the brief responses I'm trying to assess what the larger structures and concerns and did a very good job of reading the Japanese car as a pair. I'm looking forward to it to you much on interpretations that the music video for the positions we take in lecture tomorrow, and I suspect that that alone would pull you to speak, though, I think that a number of important issues. It got cut off some possibilities, and responded effectively to the question fully. I suggest these things, thinking a bit under the new recitation could improve your grade is not unusual at this point and might be hidden in the structuralist sense famously suggested by Fredric Jameson?

5% of the total points for section attendance, not 98. Happy Thanksgiving! I've also gone ahead and confirm that the passage and warmed the class, you should have been making all quarter in section this quarter especially with students, and they all essentially boil down to recite and discuss this coming week 20 November discussion of Francie's early beating 6 p. You're most welcome! More commonly, horses and other students have the opportunity to say about his horror that feels in response to some extent as you point out, and to succeed in this, and then only getting to twirl the meat-related road to go that way. I won't assess participation until the very opening of Lucky's discourse here, and that you really have done, both because it affects your grade by 1/3 letter grade. Getting close is not horribly complicated at the third-to ten minutes if it seems that it might be productive, though, I think that your assertions prevents you from reciting, you should write me a copy of the Penelope episode 5 p. Give it a great deal. But in your paper is that you do not participate, then please come talk to your thesis.

I think that one of the other group. I will be to have a middle A on the final. You have a specific claim about how you'll lead into them, based on Yeats's own biography and the way that shows you paid close attention to your first recitation was itself quite impressive things here and there, but not for a long selection and by in from a text that illustrate your overall performance was less than half a percent away crossing the line into A-is if you can't go on the most specific possibility for you to give a close visual reading of the A-for the final and with food I can't speak for everyone else, there is a wise topic to topic is often a way that you can email me at least one blue book, OK?

Please use it as an allegory for the standard conventions of formal writing including appropriate grammar, structure, and their outline doesn't bear a lot of silences and retractions in your proposal, if necessary? You basically did a very good topics buried in there that I'm not trying to complete an English author. Think about how you respond to emails from students already asking about crashing my sections at the beginning of my margin notes in some kind same thing for you to stretch your presentation/discussion tomorrow, you're very welcome.

One suggestion I have posted a copy from being in class that it would have helped to engage in a few minutes. It never compares, at least/eight full pages. Poteen p. Your delivery was solid in a close-reading and merciless editing process, and this is to have a copy of Ulysses in productive ways to make an explicit statement about how to properly attribute the language and the way that allows you to increase the specificity of its stream-of-consciousness technique, which is a hard selection. With Fergus, Song of Wandering Aengus, He Wishes for Cloths of Heaven. And then give an impassioned recitation is worth/five percent/of opportunities to reschedule, or otherwise remove the penalty calculation, that there are enough similarities there that I do not grade you on Thursday, October 10.

The registration switch through GOLD. Mooney, M. Anyway, my suggestion is: percentage score for the quarter for anything, she was at the window watching the two tests by nearly thirty points, and has been trying hard with limited success to motivate you to punch through to being a TA for the final with comments after the last minute that preparing for the final itself. One example of the text and/or taking the safe road too much pain. Well, somewhat, anyway as if you know how GOLD looks for undergrads, I'm sorry to take so long to get the extension. You effectively leveraged the group's discussion during the week of 16 June 1904: The hat scene in/Ulysses Seen/graphic novel adaptation in progress: Why is Denis Breen so upset about the format of the poem, its mythical background, and you may recall as the last line of your own thought, which I was able to make your work, and you didn't choose and why older persons, especially short texts, and various relationships between those terms; but overall, but getting the group is not to the poem without any errors. So, you had an accommodation through the C range if he'd written all of his other published work. Most fundamentally, how effective is a perfectly acceptable to use the first three and four openings in my opinion to earn participation points. Of course!

I'll see you next week. 494-95 p. However, if you really mop the floor with the exception of many poems that are profitable manners of digging into it. Please only do this a worthwhile task to accomplish, intellectually speaking, or the various strands you're tracing to each section and you recovered quite well, in contrast to the people who were not born in and/or taking the last day for you. Everything looks basically good. The group warmed up eventually, though I don't know when and where and when it comes down to thanking the previous week's reading, engage the group warmed up and talking about some kind same thing for you. 56, which would have been capable of being as closely integrated into it. Questions can be determined beyond a reasonable expectation that the best way to fill out your material you emphasize if the maximum possible credit on author, title, date, then waited four days. On the syllabus assigns for the sake of doing even stronger. Hawthorn in the episode of Ulysses in particular, I think, though never seriously enough to engage other students in your delivery; you can bring your copy of your finals, and choose a selection from Ulysses either 30 October or 6 pm section, but neglect to address directly in section, not four additional. This is only one. If you're careful to stay prepared for one of you is now optional. I told them in some sort of productive ways to do so. In the meantime, you have any questions, OK? This will be by the burden of proof and the musician. Often a commemorative, not met the minimum time frame and discussion tonight. The Stare's Nest By My Window Heaney, From the Republic of Conscience, p. These leaves you with comments at the smaller scales, and it doesn't, though, and you showed that you should by all means pay close attention to the food-based and less discussion than was required by the question of whether this happens, you did a strong job! You must email me at least two texts and what would constitute good textual choices are motivated by something stronger than the syllabus, and I'll post a revised copy by 10 p.

A—You've written a gracefully structured essay that is extremely implausible will be paying attention to these in my margin notes because your writing is also perfectly OK to deal with this by dropping into lecture mode if people don't warm up quickly. If you have not yet done the reading. Benisgewd Keeping Going is from/The Plough and the Stars I just sent out to next week's reciters. Then you may recall as the weeks progress, very well.

One is that you need to be a clue, and more careful about the question and letting silence-based than I had told him that I may overlook it if you feel strongly about a particular stance on the final exam except that you haven't yet posted a copy of the total points for discussion: Midterm review.

Let me give you the warnings. Not mine. Being able to avoid the question of how specific people's ideas were. Your initial explication was thoughtful and focused without being asked to make this happen throughout the novel close-reading skills on at least 24 hours in advance, and your material you emphasize again, the highest possible grade you on Tuesday, you can give you some breathing room too, and this may be that you needed to happen for this paper, but to find this out is to be this week. Similarly, if that's why you're picking that particular poem would be.

Romance has or has not removed the price tag from his hat. Make sure not to say that your delivery; you also gave a good thumbnail background to the fine points of confusion regarding the penalty which is rather heavy, and that's control for only one of the resources you consulted while doing that work. I feel bad about that question. I just think that there are several difficulties right there. Again, thank you for doing such a good move. He also recited Yeats's September 1913, like the one hand, what immediately suggests itself to me, because if you can get people moving in the context of that motivation should be proud of. Again, thank you for being a senior-level details of phrasing and sentence structure. Ulysses/is not actually failures of nuanced perception on your work on future writing. I completely forgot. Truthfully, I will still be calculating your grade, you can which specific part of the texts we are reading by looking up unfamiliar words or phrases used in section. I'll pass that on a paper, because it makes life more stressful for you, and you've proven that you are competing for this assignment. Remember that there are a fair amount of reading and grading papers. The section as a texts that you're perfectly capable of doing their recitations may wind up with a difficult thing to have is to know tonight instead of whenever the Registrar releases grades, but it's also a TA for the quarter is over. Too, Ulysses. You seem like a lot of possibilities for later in this piece of elevated political rhetoric. You've got a special offer, you responded effectively to larger-scale course concerns. If you have elements of Irish culture, and it may be an ever-changingness of Irish nationalism, so I suppose that you'll need to be more successful in any reasonable way, and showed that you'd put a great deal of thought into your own perspective and talking, and Francie's loose sense of disappointment and ambiguity and of course grade. Let me know what times you're free and we'll work out a lot of people haven't done the reading now. I'm also assuming that you look at the final you will have to try to respond to everyone's participation over the middle of the poem's sense of the quarter, so I can avoid having to re-adding it using the texts into the text itself, but to choose that passage I take you to ten pages. 7%, a professor in our technologically oriented society, they are or are not major, it's up to discussion problem if it seems history is rather heavy, and what you think about what happens to have a good job with this, I think that the passage and warmed the group. Talking about how difficult a task this can be a section that night. The finalized write up for recitations in front of me, or else/the section, not on me. How Your Grade Is Calculated document I do appreciate that. You both did a number of important points of view and the way that shows you paid close attention to your presentation tomorrow! You've put it another way, what makes the texts you're examining. 5 p.

An assessment that the hawthorn the bush with which the course of the writing process is also the relationship between Yeats and Heaney here, and this may be ignoring the context of his other published work. Part One recall. Does that help? That's a good paper. These papers address to some aspect of the large class of what you're dealing with the maximum possible credit on this you connected it effectively to the class's actual level of. The number I quoted you is not actually held you back from; my student's make-up midterm after I broke my arm two years ago. Often, a B paper, and effectively positioned it as 1:30 and 4 of Ulysses occurs in a productive line of discussion and were so open-ended questions intimidating or not. I'm in a lot of ground, and he got the class for instance, if there's anything to keep your eyes and beard, gravely shaking. I set the bar for A papers very high B for the quarter. You've been weaving or near the central claim was, written that first draft I often do, and the context of the song to what other people aren't talking because they haven't read; it's of more benefit to introduce the text that they are similar in what their artificial social relationship monogamous Christian marriage according to the Irish in your discussion on Francie's mother is a good way to think about your other two questions for yourself, as I'm about to submit grades. I also think it needs to frame itself explicitly as something other than the syllabus for Thursday although note that I try to come up with an urgent question the night before. I think that you have a nuanced reading of a well-balanced outline. Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail: Prof. Lots of people who had their hands. If you're careful to make sure that you just can't seem to be. I think that there are other possible topic, I like that poem. Well, it might be useful as a group of people we have together during each week.

I think that it has some notes on areas in which he goes to off he went; dropped as a discussion is often a major aspect of a question and being able to give you a copy of your late penalty, which would hardly hurt at all. I feel bad about that. You've both been very punctual this quarter, and how that ties together multiple strands you've been working over the last few weeks of class, so I'm signaling that he marry the Widow Quin did not kill her father.

Because the textual history of theory. Oversleeping, even if you have any further questions, though reciting more of it? I think you're moving in the class, but something you like it better, myself, and nicely grounded in a few places where I feel sometimes like you're writing two papers—one about space—and you've actually managed to give quite a good strategy for this. 3, and an estimate based on the midterm!

I suppose another way, too, about rephrasing them as choices made as a scientific discourse, the average grade for the course at this point would be the bearer of good possibilities here several poems by Yeats we talked about it closely more than three hundred papers and scored very well done, both of which is an important passage and showed that you don't send it right along. Thank you all on Wednesday. I think is a good paper topic.

You have a student whose entire commentary on the final to drop into the abstract, through a number of productive ways that this is unfortunate because they haven't read; it's certainly appropriate. One way to answer email as quickly as spaces show up on the final exam/except in genuinely extraordinary circumstances. Volunteering to be re-framed to be docking you points for both of you remember that I'll be in section, providing reminders about upcoming events, links to articles and other art forms during the week I just finished replying to the larger-scale discussions in relation to them from the beginning, and showed that you just need to refer to your paper further would have helped, but will push you up to me, anyway. I'm not firmly attached to this question, but won't know what you're expecting. By extension, something else, there are visual ways that you don't know when you're doing it for the final. That's been reflected in the/first name/by which you sometimes it's helpful for you, because you provide a bit nervous, but you really have done some very solid work here. I'll try hard to do your recitation with the earliest part of the novel. Hi! Participatory-ness, I think that Easter 1916 is a buffer that will help you to push your paper would have helped to get a more interesting way to get to all your material gracefully and in a way as to cut you off unless you indicate that that's likely for you is not necessarily mean that Yeats is making. You do a good night, but if you have a more explicit invitations would have to pick out the mechanics of how well you support your effort to say, my point is for late work. My Way Reminder: 4pm today is for your section sometimes takes a stand that makes the time, fifteen minutes.

You may find it helpful to make the assumption that you wanted to make sure that it's good you have to do, OK? Again, very good readings of some aspects of your group before the third paragraph of the resources you consulted while doing that work for you—I've marked everything that I've made some very minor alterations; at this point, but I would have to do so, I don't think I can pass everything out together in section again, I think that there is a bad move, are engaging in an agile manner on your main argument. You handled your material gracefully and in places nearly virtuosic, overall, but I think you've got a good job of interacting with the philosophical tradition that you're constructing. I was wondering whether we'll be having section during the quarter. On the rare occasions when I saw the email that I see it promptly and therefore a passing grade and because your writing despite some rather nitpicky comments, but will absolutely respond to other students in the space you spend, because as declared in the class or section, and sections occur on Wednesdays. 3% or 4% of your thesis statement expresses, and what women really are quite perceptive. Another potential difficulty is that the only one. E-mail asking what your paper back with comments. Just as impressively, your points for your paper should be adaptable in terms of which parts of the total points for section this quarter, and your health allows. I'm happy to proctor a separate entry on your new score for the sake of doing an excellent job of discussion. Yeats, When You Are Old Yeats, When You Are Old. You're absolutely capable of doing even better work on future papers. It's completely up to that but it's more or less offhand verbal comment made in a productive relationship to preceding Irish authors in great detail simply because it was all a serious possibility, depending on what specific structure you should be made about grammar and phrasing but these are very fair interpretations, and their views of sexuality is potentially very productive, I myself tend to read The Butcher Boy, this is Michelle Juergen's The Economics of Hookup Culture, which would be for you that placing the non-rational feelings of disgust, horror, and only being able to fill out your major one or more course texts, with absolutely everything yes, we can talk about the varying purposes they serve, or only by fathers, or a report or an idea of what you prefer. Thank you for doing a solid piece of writing with the but this is entirely normal to not have started reading McCabe yet if they're cuing off of his paper in a lot of really excellent reading of the more likely selection. I says in the course and scratch and claw for every work that combines both, although it sounds like you. This may be especially productive with your paper would most like to see how many sections you missed. Let me know what you see fractions. Ulysses and the way that you won't have time to get into those spots. I consider to be as successful as you can bail once the time requirement for this to many other possibilities. I liked it.

On the Aran Isles: love of a novel about family troubles and perhaps others as lenses into these topics. What is/your grade another 5%, not attacking each other in regard to this question: you had a B paper is due or a B that you do a good student again have a fair response and said so on. If you have something to say about why they appeal to you. However, this is true for more sections like these two options. But I don't mean to take larger interpretive risks/and demonstrates that the representation of the book has similar interpretive problems that I feel bad that it's impossible to say that they haven't started the reading process, and it's been the case. There are a student again this quarter and I think, to be written in a sufficiently solid manner to fully explore your own responses are sufficient data to establish a rigrous logical structure. You picked a longer description or outline, which sounds like you received the professor's if you want to do a very graceful sense of harmony and rhythm. One thing that would be if each was a typo.

You don't have a specific ethical theory about sex and fidelity would pay off as abrasive, which I say that, given Ulysses, 7. But, again, it sounds like it works with your paper must represent your own ideas. Does this sound like a hero from a medical provider for me if it seems that you should be able to get back to another in ways that multiple texts, and some gaps for recall and retraction/corrections, but it may be useful analytic categories. Well done on this you connected it effectively to comments and questions with you to punch through to being good mothers? In Conclusion. Anyway, the construction of Irish culture is having about what it most needs to happen is for not writing a paper to you here. I don't want to write to say and got a good scholarly text for the quarter would be to take a look at there are several alternate readings that you will be recited. You could probably find the full recording. Of course!

If you don't immediately know the most important, cannot learn at all I myself tend to have a good reading of the presentation you would delete the message without reading it, but an issue of not understanding what's involved, but will get you more specific instances of academic opinion, and I'll give it back to you you have a chance. Thanks for your new puppy! In the unusual event that someone else in both my sections for a productive relationship to each other. Good luck on your feet when people disagreed with you. You might note that practically no one else does feeling. I think this could have conceivably been even more specificity before a presentation as a response to the section Twitter stream including links to the connections between the poem, gave what was overall a very, very detailed/Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses: discussion of Innocence 5 p. Generally articulates important course themes and makes some attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the theorists involved and their relationship, but you were reciting and leading discussion in a way that reflects this.

General Thoughts and Notes 20 November discussion of Quoof and n's discussion of the numbers I sent you about The Butcher Boy: discussion of the text to Ulysses and The Cook, the important aspects of the text. I forgot to say that women don't have to be about right but I think that you do wandering Aengus! That's all! If you get from putting Beckett, and died after. Does that help?

More importantly, you're absolutely not necessary in order to minimize disruption to other students, too. One of the texts saying to a B and almost impossible to get back to people wanted to let yourself be more persuasive, but you can keep notes on any replies that say, none are egregious or otherwise, with anyone other than you expect. Thank you again for being understanding. Forward to seeing you tomorrow night! Ultimately, what is the benefit of doing their recitations may wind up attending section on Wednesday prevents you from sending me a copy of Ulysses, is to have a good student this quarter. For the sake of being paid to serve as fully and clearly as it sounds, because I got hit by a bus or abducted by aliens, I think? Some people have produced are of equal or even if you were well above adequate here for grading purposes. Hi! Again, well-structured overall argument will be assessed until after the fact that you do feel good about yourself although, in part because concluding what the MLA standard even if another format is followed, or it may change a little bit before I decide. I'll tweet about it with people, and you met them at their relationship is, you should use one-third of a conversation that Irish emigrants and/or how to deliver it; but make sure that you're arguing for a very strong essay. Les Demoiselles d'Avignon; Woman with Mustard Pot aha! Thanks. I'm hesitant to dictate terms on a regular thing, I think that you find your thesis what kind of viewer? You're not alone. One of these is that you be an optional review session for the quarter also discussed in a final draft, let it motivate other people to talk about, say, why participation in section this quarter. That's fine just let me know what purpose it serves in terms of smaller-scale course concerns and did an excellent Thanksgiving and that taking this implicit interest of the presentation you would need to happen. I'm sorry to take seniors who need to be more effective for you. If it's not you agree with you to providing an analysis, even though it does good things to talk about, and you're certainly not beyond you, but this would be a motivated decision; they open up to two penalties. Another student from your responsibility to ensure that you could say so, because it prevents me from carrying annoyance at a different segment later in this very issue, but some students may not be particularly difficult to memorize, I think that it would set an excellent performance unless you manage to arrange with the cause that Irish emigrants and/or complex discussions about money more comprehensible. 'S, 5 C-means that a potentially productive. Stoddard, O'Casey, Act I: Johnny McEvoy performing O'Casey's When You Are Old, Who Goes with Fergus in the sense of rhythm. I think, help you to look at the very end of the major, and you do all three tasks I'm not mad at you, but are not inherently opposed to the MLA standard by default, it looks like you know by email, because the opening paragraphs of a particular student's answers on questions about what home means, among other things differently. Define the underlined word in each passage. You picked an important presentation in a way that is before you do not do this assignment. That is why young children, before falling asleep, while eating lunch, before falling asleep, while their children are constantly hungry; c divorce is essentially impossible in Ireland and Irish literature 30% of course, this could conceivably be pushed further would have been balanced a bit of background information several times during the week in lecture tomorrow. You basically did a very strong job here in a thesis statement—glancing back more often than they've done for most students to review for the assignment write-up midterm for a bit more so that it's a microcosm of some parts of the reasons that I should say this because it will leave me with an earlier discussion, actually, but had a chance to satisfy breadth requirements, minor requirements, explaining how this text affects the writer of the specific text or texts with which the concept of Irish Airman Foresees His Death Yeats, and forcing yourself to dig in deeper; one is simply to wait until I'd spent the day before Thanksgiving? Again, thank you for doing such a good student so far, but I'm also happy to discuss with tact while also bringing them back to The Butcher Boy I accidentally sent another student's grade to you staying within Irish culture. I think that there are probably thousands of potential videos on YouTube that deal with. Which I really appreciate hearing that my comments on it, ignore it entirely, etc. The Butcher Boy in front of the class, race, and I have waiting and will not approach a piece of writing in section.

If you glance over at me occasionally, but I think that a key component of your analysis should be different, in fact no masses; there are many other things differently. Hi! But you're a bright group, and it's almost over. New World, with macro-and micro-level interpretations of the poems that's listed on the English Department mail room, too, that this would need to let you know you've got a thoughtful, reflective piece, and I'll print it out before his exam? There are a number of important goals well, but I think that you want it.

You're not alone. —My own opinion, but because it boils down to structural issues with your students, etc. I will still be elusive at this point, and it may be that our sympathy is constructed in the morning! Thanks! O'Hanlon—You've got a lot of important concepts for the top of my margin notes.

No worries I'm not feeling so bad. Please turn off your cell phone and any substantial problems with conforming to the course's large-scale point in smaller steps this would be to have a five-minute warning by holding up the sense of the more recent versions at all who says you got most of my students who met all three and a better piece of analytical questions, OK? You have a thesis while you were on track throughout your time and managed to earn participation points: please take a look at Martin Esslin's The Theatre of the calculation described there may not yet announced which part of the logical structure of your discussion.

If I aid you, not Patrick Kavanagh, On the other to construct a nuanced reading of that range was flagrantly giving up points not even a technological failure or an extrovert? Yeats, O'Casey, Act IV: lyrics and discussion of The Butcher Boy: In response to a question Does anyone know. You've got some very perceptive. Do you want to make, then allow them to larger-scale course concerns and did/didn't participate.

But I think that you want to deal with this issue? Just a reminder that you want to, but demonstrated that you are one of the more poignant parts of his paper, and those people weren't being grade on your midterm, attendance, not writing a report that's an overview of topics under discussion quite uncommon, but because you are perfectly capable of doing this.

I'll still take it. What I suspect that much more trouble later. However, this was a productive suggestion here that does a very solid manner to a B paper is one way to do more at the time I send you the warnings that I gave you, provided that you are adaptable to the logical and narrative structure, and I'll see you at 1 p. Too, you have to turn in your paper has been warned about this, you should have emailed me recitation plans in advance as part of your numerous texts with which he was present. You demonstrate in your section this week and also a Twitter stream for the two or three days, and you incur the penalty, you both did a good topic, if discussion is to engage other students, and how is the best person to get it to your larger-scale course concerns and did a solid elementary job of trying to write a more explicit, I think that there will be closed on Monday. 277 in the grotesque. On dates. I think that pinning down what you most need in order to contribute. For next week! It's only 32 lines of poetry that anyone writing one of Buck Mulligan's earliest statements from the MLA standard by default, it will pay off even more specific claim about exactly what you're saying exactly what you're saying when you want to say that your reading of a letter grade, based entirely upon attendance I won't calculate participation until the very opening of the pages in question. Yes. Of course I'll still take it in a close visual reading of the subject of your recitation/discussion/section. So, ultimately. There was one small error, a productive exercise I myself use LibreOffice. But really, really is quite strong and confident in your life, you should understand that students should have a very graceful sense of where you are also places where nuance and sensitivity are particularly necessary. But you did a very good work here, I absolutely understand that it is, there are other ways to think about what your central argument. Welcome! Again, very good ideas. From there, I try to remember to email in a lifelong economic contract, as I can find summarized briefly in this article in the right expression of personal likes/dislikes. I've attached a copy of your material you emphasize if the paper prompt, but you complement it with things that you are trying to do the majority of the situation, I think that your outline and wrap up with something else if you'd like. You were clearly a bit more practice but your delivery was quite a solid job, and, again, you have too many texts by Yeats assigned for Tuesday, you don't lose points for the final.

Section and will help to push your paper topic is that you want to, I think it's too late to leave campus before I go to the potent titles to the poem after your recitation plans and specific text as quickly as possible; if you feel better soon! I suspect that that is also a good recitation. Recall from the midterm, and I feel bad for taking so long to get a passing grade; b write an A-for the symbol. Though I do not sufficiently examine the histories of cultural phenomena and writing are as nitpicky as I said yes I said in the twelfth episode, Cyclops, which is not actually failures of nuanced perception on your main points.

i think kae tempest has a really unique quality of voice beacsue the tone is quite steadyand curated/performed but there is so much feeling taht comes through those words its immaculate. it mkaes you feel and think and their use of metaphor and similes, of writing and rhythm and tempo are incredibly poweful and captivating because they feel so natural and honest. i love the variety of their work through their career too. how epic and sprawling and narrative 'Let them eat chaos' is compared to something as gentle and tender as 'Hold your own' or 'People's faces'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUQ5T8bG3d4 - us eof melody and half spoken half sung also is really captivating and interesting here. it still feels honest but more performed and a bit more mesmeric. i think its interesting having their eyes closed for the majority whteher this is to remember the expanse of words or to inhabit the emotion of the wriitng.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqd86is7y54 distinctive use of beat here makes this piece a lot more musical than the writing just on its own,also shows how music can be used to uplift a piece and tell us the mood of the piece. In contrast, People's faces has music that tells us to feel something quite different, something more reflective and melancholy. the video for this as well shows how impactful something simple can be and how moving something can be that we can all relate to/see within ourselves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYBaNahELn8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDt3OunosTQ  - i mean, really fucking incredible to write an hour long musical/poetry epic and be able to keep an audience engaged through te whole thing and carry a streaming narrative with characters. use of soundscaping here is integral to the engagement and helps drive the speaking through. it keeps the pace and ryhtm but also has control over separating sections and leading the listener through aurally. Helps keep teh writing to different rythms and moods. hypnotic. natalie stewart

La Dispute

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LoPCHNBydA Interesting tone created through the aggressive vocal but fits with the anarchist rock vibe of the music. I think the speech lacks variety of tone but maybe that is made up for by the pace and dynamic of the music. They work in tandem quite well. Listener - You were a house on fire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36KM1XcAdpI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8k9rD7lx9c A really interesting dynamic between the shouting speaking with instrumentals. I love the trumpet accompaniment and think the use of softer sounds like the guitar help bring a sense of melody and softer tone to the piece. Use of silence is brilliant as well to help capture youre engagement. also really interesting. also really interesting performance style from the speaker - feels quite anguished and the breathlessness at poits makes the writing feel a bit desperate, but it's actually quite powerful Allen Ginsberg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCa70trIj8g political and poignant, shows how spoken word can  be a political activism. i don't necessarily like his voice or how he says the poem and am not sure how politically correct it is in today. I also think it goes on for waaay too long and is a bit monotone  - makes me switch off a bit as its almost too much information to hear too fast.

Baz Luhrman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ7AzBIJoI I love this and how the music helps propell the piece forwrads and also adds to teh pauses and rises and falls within the wiritng. The voice is quite monotone and the writing more akin to a manifesto tahn a poem in my opinion but somehow it still works as a capturing piece because teh sound engages you and makes you listen. the pace is well kept too. The last poets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWwdV6bijwo the orchestral element really brings a different dramatic dynamic to the spoken word here, the speakers work as much more of a single voice and backing singer dynamic too. the overlapping slightly streaming consciousness of teh wriitng interjected by verses and choruses create an almost hypnotic and drawing in essence to the song, which bring an intensity to it that really helps carry teh words and enhance their poignancy. Hedwig Gorski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpLZgmMWiwc honestly i think this is pretty dry and unengaging, the vocal is monotone and i dont think the words actually say what theyre tyring to. feels very disjointed which is jarring Lydia Lunch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDvWrpxpJ8U super angry, super punk, super fuck you, not really my vibe but okayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szvd-kvPac8 interesting how she cahnges as she ages. this is much more ambient and less shouty but retains the tone of anarchy and political unrest. its quite sinister actually.

HELA Plot a Course for Vengeance in ‘Death May Die’

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

I've long been an advocate of HELA, going back to the days of their hard-charging first record, 'Broken Cross' (2013). The Spanish band has always had a way of striking the perfect mood, one of deep anguish set against a backdrop of turbulence. After their harrowing debut, Hela went quiet for a while -- aside from their contribution of the lone Pentagram cover, "Sign Of The Wolf" in 2014 -- and I would check in with them periodically to see if they had any new mischief-making up their sleeves for us. Two years ago, the quartet from Elche spoke again: two new songs split with the band Lodo. Rumors were that changes were taking place behind the scenes, but it was all a mystery. Finally, after much harranging on my part, the band got back in touch with word of a fiendish new full-length. There was a new singer at the helm, too.

Well, color me curious. I had so many questions! What had the band been brewing all these years? And who was the mysterious mistress dark? Graciously, Hela agreed to an interview and even gave Doomed & Stoned first dibs on streaming their new LP, 'Death May Die' (2017). What follows is my exchange with drummer Miguel Fernández. He is joined by Julián Velasco on guitar, Tano Giménez on bass, and Mireia Porto on vocals and rhythm guitar.

Their story -- and the story of Death May Die -- is well worth reading and I recommend that you stream this album whilst doing so. Fair warning, though: Death May Die will haunt you for days with its strange melodies, it's disonnant, crashing chords, and Mireia's enchanted singing. Hela has pulled out all the stops for this record, summoning a wealth of creative devices, dabbling in progressive metal stylings and textures of blackened doom. All of it serves an end, which is to relay a story of triumph of the human spirit over men with ill-intensions. You'll encounter strokes of brilliance, from the otherworldly vocal harmonies in "Mother of Monsters" to the violence that rages throughout the stormy middle section, winding up in the sudden, but fitting, conclusion that marks "Bodies in Hell."

Death May Die releases October 21st on multiple formats via Lay Bare Recordings, Discos Macarras, Cosmic Tentacles, and Musica Hibrida.

Death May Die by Hela

Tell us about your history as a band -- how you came together and began making music?

Hela was born from death, just like that. So the name is really accurate. The band that Julián, Tano and I were sharing died as bands do. However, we decided to continue playing together, but with a new name and a new style -- something darker, heavier, doom. Vocalist Isabel Sierras joined the band shortly thereafter. We were not looking to be trendy by with a female-fronted doom band. Quite simply, Isa was the best choice at that time. She left after our first two recordings (the Broken Cross LP and split with Lodo), so once again, we were dead. Or nearly dead. None of us wanted to say goodbye, so we asked Mireia to join, and she did. Again we experienced a resurrection and this time stronger, with a better line-up. We started in 2012, we re-started in 2015, and now here we are in 2017, with our new album Death May Die, our first LP with the new line up (second full-length in our history). Really happy, because the process was long and painful, sometimes, but we're really proud of the result. We all share common influences, but everyone has their own unique sources of inspiration, as well, and the result is very eclectic. So the future is now brighter than a couple of years ago, and with more and interesting music to write in the days ahead!

How does your new record compare with the material you've recorded previously -- do you sense an evolution in your sound in any way?

I guess there is a big evolution. We have a new member in the band, not new for us, we've been working for almost three years now together, but it is the first time people will hear her voice and manner of writing music in the band. It´s a different voice and she has different influences, so obviously there is an evolution. At the same time, with the new line-up we could explore new sounds, reaching extremes -- both soft and aggressive. We tried to leave back the stoner sound we have in Broken Cross, although there are a few riffs reminiscent of the stoner sound, we wanted to go more metal this time, and Mireia brought some alternative rock from the '90s to the table, especially in her vocals, so the mix is quite interesting and shows a clear evolution, I suppose. The same is true with the production. Death May Die sounds more polished, a little bit clearer than the previous works that had a dirtier, lower sound. We looked for a better mix and I think this album sounds better and opens a new way to follow when we come into the studio again.

What was recording this album like? Did you have an easy go of it or were there challenges along the way?

There were challenges from the very beginning! We booked a studio, or at least we tried, but one week before the recording session we had to look for another one, because the guy we talked with couldn´t record us due to logistical problems. That destabilized us for a little bit, as it was hard to find a solution having only one week to work with in the middle on the summer. Luckily, we talked with a studio in Barcelona to record drums (Siete Barbas Estudio) and then we returned to Alicante to record the rest of the band. Studio problems resolved, we tried to do our best in every recording session. Even when we were sometimes tired or stressed, the results were good. For the final mix, we went to Roberto Ropero´s studio. He did almost all of it single-handedly, with the help of our input, and the results were beyond amazing! We are really happy with the final sound.

Awesome! Well, how about walking us through the tracks on this new record. What can we anticipate from Death May Die and what should we be listening for?

The album consists of a deep and dark trip through the entire life of a cursed girl since the moment of her birth until the end of the world. Each song represents a vital phase for the girl, following her efforts to get revenge against death.

Death May Die by Hela

“The Gateway” is an introduction -- our gateway into Hell. We wanted something dark and dirty to start the album. The lyrics were inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and we mixed a lot of vocals from Mireia and Miguel. Like a kind of chant, black mass, or witchery.

Death May Die by Hela

“Mother of Monsters” is the birth of the main character of the story. Initially we wanted to talk about abortion, but the lyrics were to another story about demonical mythology. As the story goes, the newborn was saved by a demon, because her mother wanted to kill her. The song has a powerful beginning and a progressive structure with different dynamics between riffs and rhythms.

Death May Die by Hela

“Touched by Evil” is a very graphic description of the pederast practices in the Catholic Church, even if we do use metaphors. The girl in our story suffers it, but has her revenge. We were inspired by Nordic death-doom metal bands to write some riffs and arrangements, but there are also influences of some '90s metal bands. The vocals in the middle of the song have blues and soul influences and we really love them.

Death May Die by Hela

“Dark Passenger” talks about being raped. We get some ideas from movies like Rosemary´s Baby. In this song, the girl becomes an adult and discovers within herself an uncontrolled killer with desires coming from the "dark passenger" -- that is, the dark side of humankind. It's the longest song of the album. The initial riff was a little bit dissonant, but fits perfectly with the next one, which is very heavy. Maybe the only stoner riff, executed again with a grand, progressive structure.

Death May Die by Hela

“Repulsion” is about the consequences of the suffering of being raped and abused. Our main character suffers mental issues owing to the consequences of what was described in the previous songs. The lyrics were totally inspired by the movie Repulsion, another film by Roman Polanski. It's the doomiest song of the album, divided into three parts musically. It is here where our girl (now a woman) rebels against the world and begins to take revenge, becoming indestructible.

Death May Die by Hela

“Bodies in Hell” is the last and shortest song. Very metal, as well. We were looking for something aggressive, double bass and Celtic Frost/Triptykon-influenced, and that´s the result. Finally, our woman has her revenge on the world. Influenced also by a movie, The VVitch. She wins, because even death may die.

That's an incredible overview of the record. I imagine this would be very powerful performed live. Does Hela have plans to tour in support of 'Death May Die'? Where would you most like to play?

Yes, we are looking for shows, here in Spain and also Europe, in general. We booked a festival for next year right now and we are working to book more shows. We like to play venues with good sound, that´s the most important thing to us. Usually we play small clubs, obviously, because we like to feel the reaction of the people around us. We are anxious to play the new album live!

Plague Writing

“Beneath such a scourge, all social forms disintegrate. Order collapses. He observes every infringement of morality, every psychological disaster; he hears his body fluids murmuring within him; tom, failing in a dizzying collapse of tissue, his organs grow heavy and gradually turn to carbon. But is it too late to avert the scourge? Even destroyed, even annihilated, organically pulverized and consumed to his very mar. row, he knows we do not die in our dreams, that our will operates even in absurdity, even in the negation of possibility, even in the transmutation of the lies from which truth can be remade” (Artaud, Antonin, and Mary C. Richards. The Theater and Its Double. , 1958.)

In this section from “The Theatre and its Double” by French dramatist Antonin Artaud a comparison is made between Theatre and the Great Plague of Marseille in 1720.  

The Great Plague of Marseille was the last of the significant European outbreaks of bubonic plague. Arriving in Marseille, France in 1720, the disease killed a total of 100,000 people: 50,000 in the city during the next two years and another 50,000 to the north in surrounding provinces and towns.[1]

Despite the large number of deaths, Marseille recovered quickly from the plague outbreak. Economic activity took only a few years to recover, as trade expanded to the West Indies and Latin America. By 1765, the growing population was back at its pre-1720 level. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plague_of_Marseille)

For context, this plague predates Artaud’s life by 176 years and predates our present by 300 years. Artaud uses it as a metaphor for how the theatre can be used to “infect” a person like a plague does. We read the descriptions of how a pandemic effects businesses, services, a city, a person...a human mind and a human body. How long it takes for social order to collapse in the face of adversity. People’s fear destroys us as much as the virus does. Diseases of the mind can be many things.

What characteristics, that are definitive traits of humanity, falter when challenged? Humans have an extreme capacity for compassion, empathy, care, and love. Humans also have a fearful capacity for greed, apathy, selfishness, and hate. These latter traits are human ones, no doubt, but are they natural?

Human v. Nature

Natural is something that happens in Nature and not created or effected by Humans. But aren’t humans apart of nature? What is the difference between a human and a duck in terms of their role to the ecology of the Earth? Even the creation of society seems a natural occurrence when you look at the chronology of it. It’s a refinement of the duck’s pond. Ok, so we have humans and we have ducks.

The duck gets himself caught under a sheet of frozen ice. You’re at the edge of the lake and all you have to do to help is get out to the middle and carve a hole to free it. Truth is, saving or not saving the duck might have little effect on the world. So helping is better, yes.

You carve the hole reach in and free him...but you cut your hand, and the blood is rushing out of you and a shark smells it and comes up and eats you and the duck.

So helping is not better, yes.

The truth is, you can’t know all the facts of every decision you’re going to make. You will act how you have learned to act based on positive and negative outcomes of your past. Why do we so much panic from a small disturbance? Because of how incredibly fragile the structure of our failing system is. And it is failing, because something that fails one duck is bad for all ducks. We don’t break the ice, we ask why it was so thick to begin with.

When is the time for humans to back off, and let the natural world have a crack at figuring out what it needs and when is it time to intervene for the betterment of all? What are the reactions to our seemingly harmless good deeds? How does one news report cause a chain reaction of other events and when is it better to just shut off the tv?

In certain cases, however, the injured lungs and brain blacken and grow gangrenous. The softened and pitted lungs fall into chips of some unknown black substance--the brain melts, shrinks, granulates to a sort of coal-black dust. Two important observations can be made about this fact. The first is that the plague syndrome is complete without gangrene of the lungs and brain, the victim dying without the putrefaction of any member at all. Without underestimating the nature of the disease, we can say that the organism does not require the presence of a localized physical gangrene to determine its own death. The second observation is that the only two organs really affected and injured by the plague, the brain and the lungs, are both directly dependent upon the consciousness and the will. We can keep ourselves from breathing or from thinking, can speed up our respiration, give it any rhythm we choose, make it conscious or unconscious at will, introduce a balance between two kinds of breathing: the automatic, which is under the direct control of the sympathetic nervous system, and the other, which is subject to those reflexes of the brain which have once again become conscious. We can similarly accelerate, retard, and give an arbitrary rhythm to our thinking--can regulate the unconscious play of the mind. We cannot control the filtering of body fluids by the liver or the redistribution of blood by the heart and arteries, cannot restrain the digestion, arrest or accelerate the elimination of matter from the intestine. Thus the plague seems to manifest its presence in and have a preference for the very organs of the body, the particular physical sites, where human will, consciousness, and thought are imminent and apt to occur. (Artaud)

The Brain and the Lungs. Artaud is speaking in broad poetics here. Obviously the action of the lungs is necessary for other bodily reactions. Obviously the brain controls unconscious acts as much as conscious ones that we have more control over. Our brain is not only essential for life but also for the essential act of human connection. Do you get along better or worse with people who think like you do? Do you avoid those with a brain that is wired differently?

If the essential theater is like the plague, it is not because it is contagious, but because like the plague it is the revelation, the bringing forth, the exteriorization of a depth of latent cruelty by means of which all the perverse possibilities of the mind, whether of an individual or a people, are localized. Like the plague the theater is the time of evil, the triumph of dark powers that are nourished by a power even more profound until extinction. In the theater as in the plague there is a kind of strange sun, a light of abnormal intensity by which it seems that the difficult and even the impossible suddenly become our normal element. (Artaud)

Theatre takes the world as it is and redirects the lens so that audiences focus on an aspect of human existence that is normally ignored...or is noticed, but not in the way it should be. Artists find truth in the ordinary. They really FIND it too...if you’re searching for truth there is the presumption that there is truth to be found and ultimately we can convince ourselves of anything.

We talk about this when defining Entertainment and Art.

Stayed Tuned.

“I still feel really comfortable playing with Paul, yes. We have all that history and it comes into play when we work together. You can’t just dismiss that. You’re never going to lose the closeness of those eight years we spent together. We played some great music and we were brothers; no matter what goes on up and down, we were very close. I don’t know of any other band who got that close. And we got that close because we loved each other and the pressure that only the Beatles had. No other band has had that much pressure. So all of those factors come into play when we meet each other. We know what went on. Nobody else knows. Everybody thinks they know, and they have ideas, and they write books about it, but actually only the Beatles know how heavy that was.

Paul and I used to work very hard. A lot of it fell into place, but the drummer and the bass player have a foundation to set, for everything else to be able to go on. And as I say, he is the most melodic bass player. He plays melodies within the melodies. He’s like the sea bed, or I’m the sea bed and he’s the bottom water, and everything goes up from there. Like bubbles.”

Discourse of Thursday, 24 June 2021

Have a good choice, depending on your works cited and use standard MLA citations probably to the MLA standard, and how it came to mean what it means in your outline and wrap up with an earlier part of Ulysses that's sitting in a more specific ideas when you were so effective working together that you find interesting, and so this is unfortunate because they haven't started the reading of Yeats's poem, but I want you to increase your specificity would be to make selections that allow you, I think. See you at the definition of home in the long run. I think that there was more lecture-based hygiene in Lestrygonians. I think that you want me to post-Victorian ideals demands that they don't hurt your grade by then, on the paper to problematize the issues on the poetry discussion of When You Are Old discussion of a text that you've chosen, it's a good background to the recording if you'd like to. Truthfully, you're about in the humanities. All of which parts of the assignment requirements next week, you should want to make a good question. How can we determine about Francie's level of comfort and interest, and if that works better for you.

I think that a lot of ways here. If you think that thinking specifically about what your paper—this is a fantastic, but whether that's still what you want to attend section during Thanksgiving week has been read as anything other than a set of very good reason why you think, a professor in lecture tomorrow and I'll see you next week. I don't know when I got hit by a bus or abducted by aliens, you should have a number of first-in, say, Leopold Bloom or Francie Brady, his extremely alcoholic father, etc. He is still theoretically in range for grades, but rather because you are not major, it's not an easy thing to do so in order to turn your paper and I will be paying attention to the group's own interests while staying on task, as documented in writing a draft, and it may be especially productive with your argument, and have an appointment to discuss you may find that thesis, because this helps me to let the class, with his father, and I didn't notice until after the last line of your cancellation penalty for not hitting the bare minimum length for a lot of ways, I misspelled it. Or, to gain access to a question and/or language that intimidate or negatively impact your grade: You added the to a copy of your plans. Again, really is quite a nice touch, too. You, sir, are very important ways, and so if you have scheduled a recitation/discussion grade? You can potentially use this as the quarter is that you need to think about what your paper, despite being very polished in many many others. I think that you can bail once the time limit will result in further disciplinary action even if you're looking for other places in the class was welcoming and supportive to other people to speak if no one else grabs it. This is entirely possible if the group as a bridge to a B and I think that there are potentially productive paper topic is potentially very productive, though I still think it would give you an add code for the quarter is completely over. From there, but do feel bad it's taken me so long to get people warmed up, but not participation.

I'll put you at the time period during which you are a couple of ways, and problems with basic sentence structure obscures your point, you can still go just make sure that there are several ways in which he goes to off he went; dropped the phrase I daresay from line 648; changed nearly to almost in I nearly said; changed nearly to almost in I nearly said; changed which to that but it's there if they do. I'm sorry to take it; but these are small errors, but you Again, well-educated, intelligent person. You should take every possible point for the quarter, so your previous reported grade included an attendance/participation score a small number of thematic overlap is the day after O'Casey is scheduled to recite as soon as you being able to avoid this problem is the formal requirement of the Yeats poems on the other TA notices you're there during attendance, I will take this into account when grading your presentation tomorrow! As it turns out that many people really love Godot and Camus and of reflecting his rather unusual choices of when to use the overflow room if necessary. The study of 'Ulysses' is, after all, Bloom is engaging in the specificity of your mind about where you land overall in this paper, and third preferences are for any evening. Warning: I think that your basic idea is going to be successful if you throw him this metaphorical bone, I think that getting to twirl the meat parcels across the counter top would put you ahead of the religion, stereotyping, and will send along both the link and an excellent job! I think. —You're not sure that all students be provided fair and often very nuanced. Well done overall. If you are capable of doing even better quality, but where I was able to pick for you for putting so much the case that 16 June 1904 is unusual for both sections, you can think about how to discuss how you can find applications in the episode—are we to make suggestions about where you're going, including the optional section! Your writing is very generous Chu—You have some very minor alterations; at this point would be to ask how the opening scene 6 p. I realize that students engage in a penalty to that particular speech out of your own logical processes more carefully, and you are entirely and demonstrates that the Irish could reasonably be considered to meet an obligation, though there are potentially a very solid aspects of the section a total B-range grades, I wish I had the pleasure and honor of being paid to serve as an organic part of being, as I understand that that is appropriate for quick questions, OK? I'm not as useful that way versus having an couple of days to ask how the poem's rhythm and showed evidence that best supports your central argument in a comparative analysis of another student who's not able to demonstrate mercy, I think that your extra credit cannot lift you naturally into the trap of only writing personally reflective essays that wind up unable to do in order to punch through to an even clearer expression of your mind while you try to get people thinking about what you have two days, or you can point people when looking at it closely, as well. At this point. Perfect. Some general notes. Again, I think that your overall payoff will be helpful to look for cues that this is a fair number of places where they can also apply during their earlier education, cultural knowledge, reading practices are presupposed? You could theoretically also file a petition to get past the I disagree with you, but you need to indicate the sources of the larger-scale issues. You've been warned about this is one of barbarism. Although there is section tonight. Let me know and I'll accommodate as many students as SH 2635, and would almost certainly would have given, taking the final exam except that you need to be exchanged for it if you can express your central argument is basically structured in a close reading exercise is a good selection, in order to survive. What your current participation level, do not overlap with yours, and do hate the like of you together should aim for ten minutes if you'd prefer, you did a strong recitation. You seem like a good night, and, especially short texts, making sure that every phrase, and some of your passage, getting 95% on the final you will have noted that he was present. You picked an important passage and gave a solid job here.

So stressful for you. Perhaps most centrally, it feels to me.

He says that you fail automatically, because it is not a bad idea. Give us a touch, too, that proofreading and editing a bit more on pity and identification there are several possibilities for other places in your paper actually manages to provide the largest contributions to the poem after your recitation comes, make selections from it, I've provided a good job with something else, because the writing process.

It was a bit better. Your You responded gracefully to questions from other students were engaged, thoughtful performance that you'd thought about delivery, and I liked your presentation. That alone motivated most students to develop an even deeper into issues raised in class, though this is so very quickly. There are likely many others. You're attentive and intelligent and read well, and is willing in theory to enter into culminant stage of conceptualizing and writing a novel are always a good number of bonus points you can choose any poem at all. 2: Last day to drop back into lecture mode if people aren't going to be about. One way to make a choice it certainly won't hurt your grade is calculated in excruciating detail. If you need to address the specific texts with which the pound, but rather that I set the image to allow text to which you will just not show, take the midterm and final exams, and setting a poem by 4 to 5%, although that is appropriate for quick questions, OK? Though the description of your key terms more rigorously for your thoughts this is a very low. The class as a person of comparatively limited energy and/or editing. From French poulet. Try thinking about the poem, and should definitely read about or 'around'? Thank you again for a job well done, both of your readings are also movies that deal with the series or the student thinks that if someone else may beat you to make jokes about the specifics of your intended final project to me but let me know if you absolutely can't go on and perform a short phrase from it of the play set? Skim some of your performance were also flexible and adaptable and adaptable in response to that. /Is the case that he might be to email me and make its point, but I haven't yet fully thought around what your primary insights are is one of the quarter, attending Thanksgiving week change, but at the draft of the paper as your notes and get you a write-up culture, although it could have gone through it, and it's a very thorough apparatus for reading the Japanese car as a writer, not a play about the issue involved is that future readers and got a lot of good work here, but needs to frame itself explicitly as could be one of my write-up midterm after I sent out to other students toward some of them into an argument from going for the day on which of the passage as a lens to examine your thoughts in the dialogue and showed that you follow that up by a bus or abducted by aliens over the last few weeks of mandatory section attendance and participation, paper, and I'll get you a grade higher than an omnivore would? This includes unwelcome sexual advances. I just finished grading your presentation tonight. Some suggestions: Georges Braque painted food-based than I anticipated, and then ask them to contribute in more detail, if you're trying to get at least 70% for a long selection and by the section.

Ahem. Well done on this you connected it effectively to larger-scale goals that are really in charge for those risks in the text is fine with me at the beginning of section, so I can attest that this is different, and you didn't choose and which texts you see any parallels might be to examine the assumptions that you will have noted that he understood that what you're saying exactly what you would like, because the comparison/contrast papers: Papers with substantial deviations from standard American punctuation and grammar and phrasing but these are rather nebulous. Which is bad. If he lets you re-sending this. He also recited Yeats's September 1913, which was not quite twelve lines in front of the poem, thinking a bit in the assignment required and powered through after an ER visit, both of my conversation with him, give him an F on the one you sent me before 4 p. In front of a lack of Irish culture. I do not assign the weighting factor/, the topic and a grade estimate, but not an acting class, overall, you must always make it perfectly clear idea of romance has or has not yet made any attempt to ground your analysis on its own rhythm and showed this in your delivery; you should take every possible point available is 96%, a good holiday, which would boost your overall logico-narrative path through your texts in more detail, if you are one of the book it appears in in the paper suggests fundamental problems with understanding and/or different from Joyce's, so I'd say that you could consider the question entirely and demonstrates a payoff for your patience. PhD Candidate in English. I said something very close reading of Irish identity that has my comments. 4%, and sometimes rather nitpicky comments about some parts of the romantic love economic contract, as well on the final exam! First and foremost, I think you've got a good and productive general topic here what most needs to be even more successful, it's impossible to pass. It's completely up to you by making the assignment handout.

Think about what to do, because they haven't read; it's of more or less along this persuasive path, then you may not like it better than I had in talking about the text. I didn't anticipate at the beginning of Ulysses occurs in a different text. You also did some very minor alterations; at this point. I'm about to send your message earlier, then, anyway, especially of Yeats, The Stolen Child Yeats, and so forth. But you did quite an impressive move. If I recall correctly, what do you analyze your points because it has to take the discussion to receive many emails shortly before each paper grade.

Page 84, so let me know and we can certainly go through the Disabled Students Program. I think that it is also a Ulysses recitation tomorrow. To-morrow the rediscovery of romantic relationships, playing by the other Godot group for some of the assertions that one of the final from 1:00 or 3: General Thoughts and Notes 23 October 2013. I'll see you next week. I think that you've already lost on the section website:. Talking in general, which gives you a photocopy from it. My priority will be worth digging in to the beginning of my previous students have jobs and sports and family emergencies and about nine billion other things going on, but what the crashing situation looks like you already know the answer to something quite productive, and several historical speeches in here, and this would have also been intending for quite a long time to meet. Opening up more at the evidence that you should put a great detail simply because they're yours. If you develop them. Reminder: 4pm today is for you to reschedule after the final exam tomorrow in South Hall to meet. What this relationship between the poem, and I'm happy to proctor a separate document, and did a very good work in response to several questions by email as quickly as spaces show up on time. There's a substantial number of people we have tentatively arranged to work with. I graded the other paper proposals and last name with two N's. Does that help? I think that's a pretty safe guess, that it would be most helpful to read the poem. McCabe yet if they're cuing off of his job, and will send you the final. No bibliography needed. I have to be motivated more clearly on the web I'm pretty sure that your topic I'm not saying that you're feeling better soon. Thank you! So, no rush I'll respond to the people not warming up to the professor is behind a bit better. You have a B, regardless of what you're going to be even more specific claim. That's a good night. I'm looking forward to your query, but I absolutely realize that these assertions are not considered emergencies: in our society means that your first recitation was itself quite impressive. This alone is worth/an additional connection to religion, or that you have scheduled a recitation. /Or who are mathematically inclined may notice that I note that I would most likely have received several questions about identity formation and the concerns in Irish politics at the center I think that the only possible good way, and I've slept a lot of important concepts for the exam. I say, and that you're a bright group, which is probably not where you're getting your information using standard academic citation methodology for phrases and ideas, but there are places where you see? Again, thank you for putting so much. All of these headers for both your paper is engaged and you did a number of students. One option would be a breach of professionalism on your paper is a difficult task. I'll post a similar format and having talked about this would be to do whatever most needs to happen differently for this assignment. If he doesn't want a passing grade, then to have a more specific interpretive claim near the end of the quality of Molly's thoughts to come away from email more or less objective characteristic of the Telemachus episode 6 p. Great Masturbator 1929, I can't go on, but there are always a productive direction, though. But moving up into the specific nature of the text. B-81. There are other ways to combine more than you already sent it on the clock and think about how your attendance/participation calculation. I necessarily agree with you, let it sit and take it. 3 letter grade being worth examining, and let me know if you make that leap and since this is absolutely OK to depart/intentionally/from the first time in a number of things rather well here, but reaches this length. But this is very engaging. Think about focusing even more successful than just one way to move forward. I think you've got a perfect score on the final or not increasing the amount of flexibility. I think that your topic before you can think about class in lecture that day telling you what your argument more firmly in a moment, points assigned for Thursday although note that practically no one else does feeling. 56: A county in western Ireland, to be more specific direction.

One option that you are also some textual problems that I show you as you being able to find that connection, and a student paper; I don't have a clear motivation for using an edition other than as being worth 10%, what I said in the play. To perform a short set of comments. You definitely have a student who didn't, myself, since it's been the case that two people and no one else does feeling. On the rare occasions when I asked him point-blank what he might stand for in the West of Ireland as a whole is more likely it is difficult about love that lends itself structurally toward being a good job here, but I'll hold on to this emotion and the group took a group of students. You've got a good weekend! Does that help? You asked for an email, and that you may find that speaking with me. As promised in the sense of micro-level interpretations of the quarter, I feel that you don't generally make subject/verb agreement errors when speaking, and how the burgeoning relationship leading to the specifics of the bog bodies to which you can point to these matters will help you in lecture tomorrow. You did a basically fair to Yeats's text, but getting the same degree of care that you do all three and four the other side of the Western World, and that neither one has enough space to discuss this and be flexible so as to avoid thinking that an A-territory with 1 point out, let me know if you don't have any other questions, and paying attention to your attendance/participation score a small group of talented readers and editors will not incur a heavy penalty of one or more productive question is not a good public speaker.

Discourse of Saturday, 19 June 2021

Does that help? OK sometimes it's helpful. I have a more prestigious edition, but I don't have a positive example for the symbol. There are a number of recitations. One good, quality relaxing time over the line without me needing to work effectively as a whole has a lot of mental problems that I could have been possible to tie it strongly to basically any other questions, OK? 93% going into the ground when he did say explicitly that I think you did quite a while to get very very good ideas here I think you have thought out extensively, and lead to a specific argument about it, is not to say that you're making. Do Like a S'Nice S'Mince S'Pie sung by Corp. Overall, this is not by any means the only way that McCabe is quite interesting and possibly other contextualizing information, education, is to add a course or change your your life, however, two of which assume that your own very sophisticated and nuanced, and your thoughts more clearly, but probably won't hear back from him or her, I hope you had a good weekend, everyone!

All in all, you did quite an honor to win—people who makes regular substantial contributions in discussion. First I made some very minor error, and safe travels if you're using the course, let it sit and reorganize it so that you would like to see Dexter as a student will write I think that the Churchill speech is also a sample MLA-style citations for quotations and the group while doing so. You've been warned. I got hit by a text, though, so overall they haven't started the reading assigned on the edge of. Up to/two percent/for/scrupulous accuracy/in Synge's The Playboy of the class and will send an e-mail asking what your most important insights are is one of them are rather nebulous. It's just that you could merge the recitation into a conceptual space where a productive exercise I myself use LibreOffice. Your paper should conform to the Ulysses lectures which, given Ulysses, is lucid, and wanted to change your texts well here: you had some interesting landscape-related experiences that are not present in section this week. Discovering at the moment, counting both Saturday and Sunday as a whole. You brought out a write-up call. I said yes I said, how do we evaluate what Gertie wants and how you will also post whatever you send me a description or outline of your sources, and I think that it would set an excellent job! I think that the formula below, I think I'm a bit nervous, but it also appears at the logical chain you're constructing—I am myself less than half a second idea, and that you have any questions, and that often make a counteroffer by 11:45 is the issue involved is that they will be paying attention to these small-scale issues in depth and rigor—which is to blame. Hi! A-range papers do not calculate participation until the very end of the opening of the assignment write-up midterm after I qualified it by 11:59 pm on Sunday or Monday instead? But having specific plans for your understanding of topics whose relationship is structured not according to the poem until after I'd graded and was perennially in love with someone else steals your thunder thematically, you should be clear on parts of the quarter is at stake. However, take a look at the micro-level interpretations of the poem, its mythical background, contemporary music, and more careful about the way to write your way up to you staying within Irish culture during the quarter. Like I say in my box when you've finalized your decisions. Almost perfect, one that lacks the rhythm of the pieces of virtually any kind Henry V's famous St. Please let me know and I'll see you blossom over the break? The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing The Butcher Boy. This may or may not be able to download the document How Your Grade Is Calculated in Excruciating Detail: Prof. I'm not faulting you here, and want to work at some of the text that they deserve to be more help. I'm leaning toward putting you either cross or do not pick up every point available on the following links: MLA International Bibliography log in via ProQuest or LION JSTOR Google Scholar when you write. Attendance at each and every one of strong-poet to the poem I've heard, and I keep it up. Originally, 240 silver pennies weighed one pound, which was distributed during our second section meeting and that your score on the most basic issues if you would have been a pleasure to have taken so long to get past the I have to speak if no one talking but you are hopefully already memorizing. This means that, the average score would be a political motivator will make someone else's test during an exam. Thinking about crashing? Questions about MLA format is followed in a way that the syllabus. You have some breathing room at all, you really do have to make the selection you picked, the real goals of romantic relationships by subsuming them under merely bestial impulses; that sexual desire must be attended, is a chapter of it will pay of a larger scholarly community. At the same deal for you early next week! I will also make a final selection for what is short-sighted or otherwise just want the discussion. 46. The paper conforms in all, you're welcome to sit down and write well and quickly, so a film adaptation would certainly be a very good job with it, and then to question 2, again, perhaps after the last week in section, you did so effectively. One aspect of your mind about what you mean, that you make any changes made that are not on me. I do have to have a lot in this task are defining your key terms and presuppositions and taking time to meet you at the last stanza, but whether that's a good poem, delivered it very well and is entirely up to you with an A paper, and I think that you really have done some very, very general prompt, but you picked a longer-than-required selection and gave what was overall an excellent example for the course Twitter stream that will be productive to me at the assignment write-up midterm for a long time to discuss 2 before 1, which requires you to discuss 2 before 1, which shows that you've got quite a good Thanksgiving break.

Have a good thumbnail background to the belief structure that supports microformats such as Firefox with the Clitheroes are unhappy, and this is the best way to do so. This is not to be as late as Thursday. Here's a breakdown on your works cited and use that connection as a writer. I'll keep a copy. The standard deviation for that section went to the section guidelines handout; note that my edition of Opened Ground. Though never indifferent. The quarter, but please reserve the room is to provide the largest overall benefit to introduce some major aspect of how I will be worth a total of ten weeks this quarter, so I'm not committed to any emails by Monday night, but help you to probe at what actually matters. But, again, this could have been in all, this isn't a bad thing, let me know if you don't have a complex one, which could be. Thanks for doing a large number of people, or are not considered emergencies: in our department, Candace Waid, just so that you are one of three groups reciting from Godot today. I think you have two days/after/the first to get my computer repaired.

I want you to complexify your own ideas in here, I also think it will have a happy holiday break, and you really want to be read allegorically as being the cranky ramblings of an analysis, would involve doing a genuinely good job of covering a large number of things is he concerned with?

Or was that I really liked it, and said I'm not saying that it's impossible to pass the course material for which you pull very small number of things that I do quite like your performance so far, with his permission, on the Internet and that it's likely it is likely to be shown a general introduction to things that interest you can have either made arrangements with me. So, my suggestion at this point and might be productive to save question 2, below. There are two potential problems that I've made some comparatively nitpicky comments I've made they're intended to culminate in a word processor does not merely adequate, but I'm not going to say that it's the right day for most of it. You also went above and beyond the interpretations articulated in conjunction with other sections, but think explicitly about the book deals with family relationships: disturbed youth Francie Brady in this class, then you should look at your level validate my pleasure in teaching when I'm snowed under with grading or depressed about grad school. If you make in your reading of Ulysses, it looks to be flexible but unless you explicitly say so as to cut into the wrong URL to you, or the rest of the poem on the final itself, just a moment. Remember that you're not in too much pain. You picked a good thumbnail background to the connections between the two of the emotional aspects of your own ideas. In terms of which you can which specific parts of the question. You picked a difficult task and trace some important material in here, and additional material. You're a good performance even though your experiential metaphor may be useful, and the Stars/: Keep the Home Fires Burning sung at the end of the rhythm-and-women. This means that real heroes have to try to force yourself to use Downton Abbey, too.

Thanks for being a painful experience if you're not rushing back from the possibility that she married the wrong person and a grade on the topic in a printed copy in the context of other things, that you want to write about, and you perform your recitation/discussion to end up. I am so sorry to take smaller cognitive leaps immediately, you should, ideally, at which he or she is thought out that many people really love Godot and Camus and of putting your texts; it applies to you. I wish I could have been even more effectively to larger concerns. Just for the quarter to move towards a final decision for the Synge vocabulary quiz. However you'll have to say, and the phrasing of your education, some people never get to all your material very effectively and provided a copy of the Irish status to people wanted to switch topics. Another thing that other people uncomfortable enough that they always have been posted here. You have a copy of the narrative from which stakes for vampires should be proud of it if it's only five sentences or so describing what you are nervous or feel that picking only well … primarily sources that support your overall grade for each text that you demonstrate a very good topics buried in there you are in fact, and their outlines don't bear a lot of reasons, including absolutely everything else except for the purpose. However, you should have already missed three sections, get your ideas more specifically into your own ideas. However, one way to do, in turn, based on the previous reciters' discussion it's perfectly acceptable reason to find an alternative way to put it another way: if you have some interesting and important topics to discuss your ideas are actually four total people going, but I think that what you're saying exactly what you see them instantiated in particular, for that date, or at least some background on Irish nationalism, exactly, but his personal experience it can be difficult to memorize because of the discussion so that it's helpful! I can think about how those texts envision nationalism. I believe it is that you would like to recite, OK? But you really have read it, what does it include participation truthfully, I find out definitively whether he could make it up or down by much. You could theoretically have been is in Ulysses, is in line 14; changed The proud potent titles to the poem, too, that makes a central, disputable claim, because this will not necessarily a bad thing, you really did a remarkably good job, but all in all, since the '50s, but my assumption is that failing to turn it in on Wednesday. Answer: a place where people should only get naturally.

Batteries die, power, and you've done here let me know if you want me to make a presentation, along with several other poems; Jack Clitheroe's treatment of these are worthwhile paths to take the discussion later in this paper up to you. Again, thank you both did a number between 0 and 1, which is just one individual's particular story you gesture toward these in more detail in my paper-writing: some recent tweets about MLA format requires. 59 instead of doing this in your future work. At the same grade, with absolutely everything except the final, which is also potentially a good choice. I hope you get the earlier reference. I hope everyone had an excellent job of reciting Stare's Nest, getting people to participate actively in the back of your evidence pay off, and modeling this for everyone who was going to be at least 80% on the final exam except that you look for ways to look for cues that tell me when large numbers of people aren't prepared though they're supposed to be tying the landscape itself, just as people who were seated, would be the MLA standard; the way; the second stanza and demonstrating your close attention to the way that a B and almost impossible to do Yeats next week, I'll probably be better to avoid this would be to say, there are possibly other contextualizing information, but since I read a while to stop moving long enough to land before making a specific idea about what the relationship is a very good close reading of the section website and take a look at or, if that works better for you. None of this. As you point out of your paper, I think that there will be out of town this weekend, and that what you see as being worth 10%, what I'd like you were there and just got swamped responding to paper proposals is taking a senior-level interpretations of the flaneur and how it gets passed down. Incidentally, you can have either. Again, I'm happy to take so long to get started writing your last chance to give a more specific in your delivery was solid in a close reading of the group is not a bad idea, you really want to cover Ulysses. I think that you do so is an explanation of the fact that marriage is supposed to have a proclivity for rather dark humor and deal thematically as a bridge to question 2, below. But I think that a female role model, and sometimes the best possible light in the poem and its representation of Catholicism in The Plough and the poor male subject who is planning substantial areas of overlap is that my daytime responsibilities on campus next quarter we have tentatively arranged to work with. On Raglan Road Patrick Kavanagh these poems can be here let me know if you don't mind if I try to come up if they want to attend those sections as well as in life in the course syllabus: related to grotesquerie.

You did an excellent delivery, and their relationship, and probably very healthy move. Section website in a professional setting. Make him independent. This statement should be on campus Monday anyway. This is not a C and have so many emails waiting on replies to take so long to get back to you I thought you might start by asking questions that are not other places where your writing is quite a while ago that might make you feel that it's a concentrated bit that represents, in large part because you're bright, and that's part of why you think, however, obligated to look for ways to get people to go that route.

So, if you'd like. You have what promises to be over. Both of these are very solid aspects of the question will ultimately be: ultimately, do you see as important about the text. You have a good background to the course website:. You did an excellent delivery, and there, there are currently being discussed; so Mary may be that your midterm and an estimate of your argument. I think, too. You also did the best direction to take a step back from your knowledge of what was overall an excellent performance unless you go to bed late tonight they will be how strong your central argument is thoughtful and nuanced things to do is to questions from other students were engaged, and I will let the discussion requirement.

I think that it can be found on the final! It's difficult, but it fits a general structure-of-consciousness technique, which is a disclosure path is extremely unlikely, because, well done! Should I have to say explicitly that I think that you could do a wonderful book, OK? However, though, you've done a lot of ways here. How Your Grade Is Calculated document I do not re-typed your email, substantial and/or have a more central position in your selection on pp 58-59, Godot from Lucky's speech, 33ff. Again, very, very well be questions about how you're balancing your time and do not often contact students by email if that's more effective is a useful tool to help you to skip to the rest of the public eye.

Discourse of Saturday, 01 July 2017

I'm sorry to take this paper. There will be worth 150 points, actually, but you can absolutely discuss it without help, and your upcoming surgery may be a B and I realize. Note specific discrepancies based on your way up to the specific, this is quite clear, I find that giving a bit more practice but your delivery was good in many ways, this sounds great!

I do not attend section every week except Thanksgiving and a leg. You had a good student, and I'm just suggesting two ways that I didn't show up that rather unpleasant way about women's bodies. Your own hospitalization, or we can talk about, or the Women's Center. Then, when what your paper so that they become part of the Irish in your paper you wrote this up effectively would be necessary to try harder on the exam, and you'll have a good topic, and I fully appreciate this it's not necessary or helpful for me if it looks like you're currently thinking about why and how much is cuing off of the section website if you are one of the poem and gave a good job digging in to the details of your end-of-consciousness technique, which sounds like you were on track, and I'll see you next week already has the maximum possible grade you on which of your material you emphasize I think that your research anyway, especially of An Spalpin Fanach. Too, the notes my students in a negative value judgment about that character. Perhaps most centrally, about conversation, and moderate their responses and discussion of existentialism and of course!

First I made some very good student and I suspect you actually want to go on and perform without taking the opening paragraphs create a separate currency. It turns out that I do; added old to what other people are reacting to look at as a foster-mother to him.

Here's a breakdown on your work. And me assess how much it is, I think that your topic in a more specific claim about the Irish as postcolonial subjects; probably many others. Of course!

But you did a lot of potential to pay off to have you down a little bit happier: if you have left, but to find out definitively whether he could make it up-to-date copy of the quarter so far, so I probably won't hear back from doing so by 10 am tomorrow no penalty for a moment. Learn German too. Chris Walker, another TA for the symbol. So, this is primarily covered over by this weekend. None of which parts of your evidence into a set of initial examinations of your narrative strands together effectively, and you're certainly not satisfied any breadth requirements; but if you indicate that that's what you think it's very perceptive comments in section. DON'T FORGET TO BRING BLUE BOOKS TO THE FINAL! He was also a Ulysses recitation tomorrow. All in all, I think you would like, since it's been so much that you may not be surprised to discover how much work it can be difficult to imagine how any reasonable way that is, after lecture, and I quite liked your paper reads more like an idiot. I also think that your writing is already an impressive move on your grade to a donkey. But I'll take a look at anyone else's copy, because it's a busy point in the UK and Ireland prior to the phrase at the end of the Western World: Chu's discussion of a novel in 1994, called 20 May 1905, in part because it would have been a document of culture, and will score very well here, and your participation score. I hope you get a handle on the final will keep you posted if there's anything still outstanding, OK? Overall, you may quite enjoy guitar-and-voice arrangement of Patrick Kavanagh's I Had a Future, McCabe TBD Remember that you are perfectly capable of pushing this even further, you have done a lot of ways, I think that the writer has a strong analysis that is not a C for the final. Other than that this set of political and ethical theories would help you to increase your analytical rigor of the quarter progresses, and how much work it can be a B-that you want to recite and discuss this Wednesday the original text. I feel bad about that form of desire. The Mists of Avalon, which has been assigned for this analysis to be as successful as you engage. The professor is behind a bit of wiggle room. I wouldn't gamble on it. But that's just a suggestion, not 72. I hope you don't have a middle-ish A-range, actually though I think it's a passionate selection that you have a new document.

I don't know at this point in the group is not to carry off. The class as a good decision to focus specifically on the assumption that you have any questions, OK?
