# It's amazing how one summer reading assignment, due in a week, starts to feel like

# What did you have to read?
(I helped save b3ta! Mu Dinofiddler, 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.

# I'll take that.
(I helped save b3ta! zeltergiset, Sun 30 Aug 2009, 22:48, archived)
# 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

# do what i did
sit in the garden with a drink and a joint, read the book, then write your report stoned. you come up with some really great stuff when you're stoned. i had to do a book report on dracula once, i focused mainly on the fact that it's a love story in disguise.
not to rub it in, but i got an A ;)
(I helped save b3ta! Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Sun 30 Aug 2009, 22:45, archived)
# I actually read the book, which is good.
Now I've got to do the paper. I did some prewriting stuff, like writing my thesis, structuring my paragraphs, etc. But I can't seem to bring myself to write it now XD

# Yeahh, not so much in English class.
And I'm in an 'advanced' level (though they won't put me in Honors, ffs!), so it's expected to be like...awesome.

# i know the feeling
despite being in the spacker* class for math, i was the best in the class in english, which puts pressure on you just when you don't need it.

*i'm not thick, i just got the right answers but couldn't explain how, so they marked my work as wrong.

I'm an awful procrastinator. And I hate writing papers.
