    I had an english professor that actually demanded an intro like this. He said write ANYTHING as long as you can hook the reader and link it to a thesis statement, and there is no bar to that link.

    I don’t grade papers, but I imagine a bit of flavor stands out favorably from all the other very generic writings.

      The water mark makes me believe whatever BoredPanda is got some rights to share the tweet and they censored mother fucker, but maybe the tweeter didn’t care to have their name censored.

      I’m curious how 1984 is AP Lit. We read that years before AP classes were even available… Does that mean they get college credit for reading Orwell now?

        There are university classes analyzing children’s picture books. It’s not about the difficulty of the book, it’s about the level of the analysis.

        1984 is quite unique as a piece of fiction, since almost a third of the book is an appendix about language and history. It’s an excellent book to analyze.

        The difficulty of texts from AP literature versus my honors English courses prior to it weren’t very different. And no, you got college credit for completing the AP exam which involved reading passages and writing essays, not merely reading Orwell lol.

    Contact your prof and explain the mistake. When I was a prof, I would have been amused by your brain fart and probably wouldn’t have docked you much, if at all, if you explained what happened.

      In my meta-analysis of this paper I will propose that the writer being honest and vulgar to the reader in a professional setting is actually a treatise to demonstrate the effect the language of “doublespeak” within 1984. in this paper I will…

    Lol my most recent dump like that was

    “The process for electroplating the contacts is to DROWN THE FUCKERS IN A BATH OF SOLUTION AND USE THE FORCE THEIR FINAL GASPS FOR BREATH TO TRANSFER THE PLATING MATERIAL TO THE BASE MATERIAL”

    I didn’t forget to change it though.
