Eugene! You're a Genius!
Everyone should think thoughts towards reading Richard Powers powerful novel Generosity. It's about the problem of being too happy; The Happiness Gene!
Beauty and Pity, Beauty and Pity, Beauty and Pity.
The Password is?
Nabokov wishes to creates a norm that centers around Generosity, compassion, and......?
Really? "Really?"
BLOG ASSIGNMENTS STUDENTS!
Read everyones papers, shoes which fit you best, decided upon a pair, and then take a stroll in Kinbote's loafers and leave a commentary on that which best suits you.
Now to more "important" questions (yeah important?)
What is the Elementary meaning of Pale Fire?
Level One: About a poem and a guy who really likes the poem.
Something is rotten in the state of Zembla....... (A distant northern land, of course)
"really"
Fundamentals are the TEXT and INTERPRETATION
It is a Foreword (useless to the poem, purpose filled to to the critic), A Poem ( In Four Canto's with Heroic Rhyming Couplets), 5 sets of twins (All nine of them), A commentary (Very descriptive and on point), and an index (index).
