# What did you have to read?
(, Sun 30 Aug 2009, 22:40, archived)
# Frankenstein.
Plus one choice book from a list, so I picked 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. And now I have to write a paper on it, answering one of four questions. x_x

# Here you are
1. Absolutely, some would say several times
2. Thirteen and three quarters
3. New Haven, CT
4. To some extent.

# C-
Forgot that only one question was required. Must remember to read instructions before answering.

# Okayy
maybe I should show you the questions:

1. Why are there insiders/outsiders in a society/social group?
2. How do the qualities that define an insider/outsider affect his/her relationships in
a society or group?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being the insider/outsider?
4. Under what circumstances might the roles of the insider/outsider reverse or
change? What is the effect of this change?

# 1.
without insiders and outsiders, the structure of the social group is ill-defined and, therefore, clearly not a group.

# I have chosen to answer question 3
in my paper, using the examples of Josie, Matt, Peter, and Judge Cormier.

# i probably would, too
but my natural paranoia might make for some interesting perspectives on my part ;)

# Thus, paradoxically,
outsiders could be said to define the group as much as the insiders do.

1. Because following norms of societal rules sucks...blah bah blah [cue inane ramblings and long rant]
2. Confidence and acceptance can generally dictate sociological well being and ego, group/herd mentality per pressure...blah blah cue even longer rant about magazines, adverts, television, and what people want and should do.
3. 0ne can do what they please without need for conforming, one will have less friends to gather information from etc etc
4. If being a nerdy geeky down dressing freak becomes fashionable one can become king/queen for a short lived period of time and have the pleasurs of false friends and followers dying for 5 seconds of your time blah blah...cue long rant about falseness and perversion of morality.

haha, now I must rest

# Just watch Young Frankenstein or read Spike Milligans version of it
I had to do Frankenstein for English at school, hated the book after that. Have only now felt like reading it again.

# I Spark-Noted it.
But 19 Minutes is the one I have to write about. I have a rough idea what to write about. And that's it. XD

# The best thing to do is to write utter bull shit, but make it sound good
Just like when you hear people talking art bollocks, it will either make them go wow or think you are a cunt

# Or both.
