No, the style was designed to emulate Kurt Vonnegut. I was not trying to write as well as him.
The characters are supposed to be undeveloped. That is Vonnegut's style and you'd know that if you had read more than just one of his books, as I have.
That was the 2nd best paper in that english class, right behind Combat's.
Whether you like it or not, I still do and it is a good story.
Since you're freaking Shakespeare, victim, how about you grace us with a work of your own?</font>[/quote]You stupid bitch, I was talking about the
theme, not the style. Your theme was a piss poor derivative of Slaughterhouse 5, right down to the use of that old cheesy adage that "the rail" kept on the wall as a kid.
Your style was shit. Emulation my ass. That's like a crayon smiley face being an emulation of the Mona fucking Lisa. It was no good. Vonnegut didn't pull things out of his ass like you did and just plop them down in the middle of fucking nowhere. I don't give a flying rat's ass that it was the second best paper in your English class. People, especially high school students and college freshmen (especially WCHS spawned fuckwads) can't write if their fucking worthless lives depended on it. You are no different. (Right now, as some of you may know, I'm in a position where I have to deal with this bullshit on a daily basis...)
*By the way, this is not to say that Vonnegut has or should have a trademark on his style. I'd recommend you check out other authors of a similar flair, such as P. G. Wodehouse or Douglas Adams, to see this (Don't you dare insinuate I'm unread, bitch, I'll crack your bastard skull).
