Boring and confusing

[@Views4K]

Couldn't agree more

[@matthewk.4289]

Maybe if you knew how to analyze texts like this, it would be MUCH more interesting... you have to understand stories for their meaning and not the events.

No I agree. This story was really boring. I had to read this story and write an essay about it. The only way I could read it without falling asleep in one paragraph was through this video. I fell asleep while watching this video anyway. Concept of the story is cool, but that unnecessary corruption of normal grammar is so confusing.

[@paulbeardsley4095]

TheDragonEmperor00 I agree about the grammar. I remember reading a George Orwell article complaining about “not un-“ expressions. E.g. instead of saying, “He was not uneducated,” just say he was fairly educated ffs! Not Orwell’s exact words...

Honestly this was my favorite story that we read in my class, and I didn't find it confusing to read at all, as long as you're not trying to speed-read it.

Hmmm... why does this story make me think of Dr. Fauci?
