You simpletons really need to get a job--having any sort of discourse is really not your forte.

look up the term "ingenue" before you use it. Ingenue refers to a stock character.

I may be a charlatan, but that doesn't mean I can't get results.

Let us examine austen's prose in question (this is going to hurt my soul):

Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did; nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society. He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.

Jesus Christ! That’s awful! I’m just going to highlight and green text all the shit that’s wrong with the prose (and explain in brackets)

1.> vanity of person and of situation.
(“vanity of person and situation” reads much better. The extra “of” also adds no rhetorical flair what so ever—and if rhetorical flair were wanted out of the extra “of” it would ready “vanity of person, and of character,” the added comma would add pause making a graceful inclusion of a second “of”. On its own, the extra of is tantamount to a big stone in the middle of a road, stepping over it is a nuisance.

Moving on...

2.> He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man.
(Jesus Christ woman command your commas better. “He had been remarkably handsome in his youth, and at fifty-four was still a very fine man,” reads much better for god’s sake.

3.> Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did; nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.
(dear god what a mess. Let me show you how it’s done Austen: “He thought more about his personal appearance than most women did of theirs; and he was more delighted in his social position than a valet of a newly made lord”

You have been schooled, class dismissed.

Has anyone here ever submitted articles to/been published by publications like The Nation etc.? How hard is it for someone without any significant academic or journalistic clout to have an article published in these types of publications?

Hey TAR, who was that guy that left you guys? Did he leave because you guys kept posting gay shit that sucked and he didn't want you to anymore?

100% of the reason I never submitted to TAR was because I would be embarrassed if my work was ever published beside the filth that you publish.

Also, I liked your little nude apollo, thought that was a nice touch. Seems like you've done away with him now for some reason.

Anyway, you guys suck, quit because you failed.

Sorry.

Have you ever encountered what you consider a "red flag" that gave you a bad feeling about a class' direction? Perhaps it was a particular book in the required reading, or a stated objective in the course description? Maybe a professor listed a book that he or she wrote to be mandatory reading?

You're the best poster on here. Please tells us more about you so we (I) can adore you more.

I'm home at last from a long hard day
I unclasp the time which has kept me bayed
Oven ready meals, a delicacy for the poor
Of epicurean splendor, I am to savour.
And to the world wide web, I am to partake
Of debates, musings, and other's mistakes
Is this kind of life, the new Arcadian way?
Is this the way of paradise in the modern day?
Of harmless trolls who incur great rebuke,
And intellectuals whose minds are in fluke.
Does one need to be stripped of all worth,
To make one realize what is the source of mirth?
I say no, and I count my blessings,
and I ornament my chicken burger in all the dressings.
