Hit FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has genuinely compelled me to read and appreciate classic literature more than any of my many former years of school. I look at the silly rat show and am like I get it now, I'm gonna read Shakespeare, Beckett, Dostoyevsky, etc. and analyze the world for funsies, my grades 7-11 English teachers could NEVER.

#iasip #text #anmmbposts #it's about tracing back+understanding the source of influences+underlying connections that intertwine+remain inherently part of us today #it's about the beauty and horror of a universal idea and experience that perpetuates beyond time and setting #and you know much more whatever *kicks ten impulse purchased books under the bed*#it's about the tragicomic structure and the inevitability of a story's end and and and #oh that made me think of something else #ignore me! i'm just losing/expanding my mind over here #like i was good in english i did the analysis i got 90s and all but i never really “got” or liked most of the things they made us read #i didn't have real world experience or frames of reference to understand and teachers are... not the best at teaching #but there's just something in sunny that helped my perception grow up immediately something real and tangible and like #yeah it's paired w/ time that's passed i'm older now but also idk there's just something there that made the entire world click into place #okay dost*yevsky im picking up for other reasons but still branched off from sunny!
