So right now I'm writing a paper with an all-Jewish bibliography (it's an analysis of one of Kafka's stories from a Jewish perspective) and it's just weird
( Read more... )
Sounds like a lot of work as far as the research is concerned, but I bet it'll be really interesting in the end. Which of Kafka's stories is it? My first guess is Metamorphosis (it does seem to always be that one LOL).
It's not that bad... I mean, the slogging through books looking for the pagenumber of quotes is a bit annoying, but at least I have most of the info already in my head :)
And no, it's not Metamophosis! It's Before The Law. So there! XP
XD You're the first person I know who has used something other than Metamorphosis. Points to you!
Is this for a class? It sounds fun. When I was a lit major, Russian literature was my favorite (followed closely by 19th century French). I... possibly changed my major too many times, lol.
Yep, it's for a class on Jewish-German literature. The professor really liked me XD but I'm an East Asian Studies major, this was one of my additional courses.
Btw, when you asked about the guy with a chunk bitten out of him - turns out that depending on what gets bitten, the person might actually be able to live through it. If it penetrates the stomach cavity, then they'd die quicker, but still have like a day or so at least. Also depends on whether or not an artery is torn (which depends on things like how fat the person is and whatnot). Helpful?
(also my mom facepalmed when I said "so my friend wanted to know....")
Yeah, I'm doing fine :) It's good to hear from you!
It's just that lately I've had a lot of RL stuff going on - I'm preparing to spend a year studying in Korea, my family is visiting, and I'm working on papers for the end of my first semester of my Master's degree. I know I haven't updated Mirrorworld in ages :c I am actually still working on it, though I've been going through some painful writer's block. But I have a fair chunk written already. There's only two chapters until the end XD the first one has been finished, but I don't want to post it until I have the second one written, to make sure it's all balanced properly.
It's weird, it's like all my writing muse has turned into drawing muse... I've been sketching like crazy, lately, and hardly able to write.
