I'm sorry, literature just isn't my favorite subject

Spending a full page in a textbook talking about a bullet wound just isn't worth it, just say 'he got shot and it sucks' or something

I try to appreciate literature, but this is just torture!

Lol, which book is it you are talking about?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

It's an excerpt or something in my literature book, comes from An Episode of War by Stephen Crane

I can clearly see the guy is talented and appreciate him being so descriptive, but I think he's crossed the line

Well, everytime I had a book I could not go through (F. Scott Fitzgerald) I just used online notes. May work well for you.

Stephen Crane rocks.

ever question why he felt the need to spend so long talking about something so simple? it wasn't just for his own enjoyment 😛 you need to question what it adds to the book.

I usually do that, except this is just a small excerpt, I have no idea what part of the book it came from
