English

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

Syllabus for all English courses.

I'm here to teach you how to see the hidden meaning in the English language -- the subtle beauty that lies within the sleek curves of a sibilant or the careful crunch of a well-bitten off syllable. You'll learn how to write clearly and effectively and hopefully even gain the ability to see the subtext that lies within every work that has ever been created.

I, er. I hope you're all ready and willing to experience the full beauty of language in its every aspice.

*wide eyes*

You look like a young man who's come to an appreciation of the fact that life is an eternal void of woeful and anguished suffering and pain.

*snort*

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

you got a problem, deadgirl?

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

*holds up hands*

No, no problem. I was just thinking about how many ways one can wax poetic about one's weapon collection. I mean, I'm really looking forward to seeing some of your work.

[jayne-serenity.livejournal.com]

I dont wax nuthin... least of all some poetic, dong mah?

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!

Are you, by any chance, a fan of ee cummings? Your avant-garde stylism with regards to grammar seems to indicate a strong influence by the atypical syntax movement.

uhhh....
wanna repeat that in english?

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

I was simply admiring your ability to defy the ridiculous constraints that punctuation and grammar place upon the everyday writer, binding them to earth like .... very binding, binding things.

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

English is cool, I guess. I'd like to sign up.

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

You're on the roster.

I hope that you can offer some unique insights for the rest of us about the nature of death. And life. And life in death. And what it is like to be alive as someone who is dead, given that life is death.

*blinks* I'll... do my best.

I had three English teachers last year, and I really loved two of them. I cannot believe I have to get used to a whole new person. It's so strange ghow you can intensely bond with a teacher, and then they're just ... gone.

But I guess I'll sign up.

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Literature is really the only way that you can truly get to know another person's soul and their spiritual aura.

*adds to roster*

[b-someone.livejournal.com]

I fear English isn't my native tongue, but it would be an honor to study it under your tutelage.

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

*beams*

I look forward to having you in my class ... Balian, is it?

[b-someone.livejournal.com]

It is indeed, mademoiselle. As soon as I manage to procure an acceptable likeness, I shall be much easier to remember, I trust. :)

[bloodyrockgod]

I'd like to sign up for Honours English, please.

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

*adds*

I'll see you on the first day of class!

[lifeofkrakow.livejournal.com]

I'd, um, like to sign up. One of my English teachers last year was, like, mentally ill, so ... there aren't going to be, like, candles or whatever, right?

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. I mean, I know some of my colleagues believe that incense therapy helps stimulate the creative soul, but I find that it just creates too many bad vibes, you know?

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

*stare* You got something against fire?

[lifeofkrakow.livejournal.com]

No, uh, see, I had this substitute in English last year, and he was like mentally ill, so, you know, he had candles and pillows everywhere.

[make-it-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's just fire, mate.

[lifeofkrakow.livejournal.com]

No, yeah, I get that, but he wasn't a good teacher.

[miss-thomasina.livejournal.com]

I should very much like to take English - if for no other reason than to see how someone else's opionion holds up against Lord Byron's - is there room for me, still?

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

I think I can find a space for anyone who's willing to volunteer opinions in class. *smile*

[ruimte-aap.livejournal.com]

I would like to sign up for Honors English if possible.

[tormenting-art.livejournal.com]

*writes your name in*

[absolutesnark]

I'd like to sign up for Honors English.

[can_be_more]

Something tells me I might need this language later in life. I'd like to sign up.

[of-debussy.livejournal.com]

I'd like to take Honors English if possible, please.

Will there be any assignments on grammar?

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

I don't seem to able to find the timetable but would like to take Creative Writing, when is that please?
