  • Pure speculation, but I could also easily see it just being kids from other nearby schools that heard about a protest at Columbia and rode the subway up from NYU, or CUNY, or any number of schools in the area. Technically outsiders at that point, but I wouldn't really consider them as such.

  • Yeah, I thought I might be getting whooshed there, but I also thought there might be people that saw the shit they were selling for real money and just assumed it was a free to play game, cuz clearly this sort of monetization has no place in $70 games, but well...here we are.

  • Did you just read the quote of what he said or did you actually listen to it? By the way he says it, it's clear he's using it as a name.

    I would say the article even printed the quote wrong. They wrote, "Oh look at that Mercedes, that's pretty good."
    They dropped a word and in my opinion got the punctuation wrong. I would quote it as, "Oh look at that, wow. Mercedes, that's pretty good."

  • "literally"

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    However, the book DOES have "literary importance," as determined by it winning the National Book Award, winning the Kirkus Prize, and being a Pulitzer finalist.

    Though I notice elsewhere in the thread you refer to those as "literature prices" multiple times, and would like to point out that they are, in fact, "prizes". Prices are the cost of things you buy at the store. Prizes are awarded for achievement in a given field.

    As such, I do not believe you are fit to be the arbiter of what gets to be taught in English class. It is clear you could use a few lessons on the subject yourself, and besides, before espousing that a book should only be taught in one type of classroom (Social Studies) and not another (English), a person should probably read said book. You clearly haven't.
