I think one of the biggest things I enjoy about your particular theories is that you're almost always bringing contextual evidence to back it up. You're referencing the themes, referencing the patterns, referencing the book itself to prove your ideas. It's like if someone has in an AP English club, like writing papers for fun, and that's what really elevates this shit.

thank you this is extremely sweet. it is just how i was taught so i cant do it in any other way. it was hammered into my head pretty hard, and i do notice fandom not really following the “rules” of literary analysis, which is fine. but like i feel a need to structure my analysis and use quotes the way i do, also i do like to focus on literary devices + always look at the text holistically. i am insufferably lit brained sadly it was my fave class in high school. i also just love finding and dissecting patterns so so much and george is obsessed with writing them so

#ask #ur compliments are so sweet guys but if u all keep setting me up shhdjs #not doing lit anymore #i took hl ib lit which is college course like? but it is pretty specific in how its designed idk im not familiar with american systems #i think the primary difference is that we didnt really focus on english lit #like not british/american centric ib has to be international lit #my lit teacher still my fav teacher oat i love u mrs hughes u r the realest #i do actually find literary analysis very fun #most ppl fucking hated it but for me it was always the most fun and the easiest again i think its just how my brain works it likes doing it
