Paper Heart
by ~MuertoMushroom
what it means to be americanThat's the question. I don't think I'm proud to be an American most of the time. A citizen of the U.S.A. Not when I visit the reservation and go to the "museum" and am told that the beautiful carvings were made just last week by a talented young man and can't help but think about how museums are attics for things dead and things lost. Not when they tell me their language was almost lost, especially when small children were torn from their families and forced to assimilate in white schools. Not when I hear about another innocent black man dead from police gunfire. Not when I am watching education crumble deeper into the dark ages, when I think what it means to be american

Chapter One- a love storyClara   
I walked into my first day of tenth grade feeling like a newborn kitten- fragile and blind, vulnerable and confused. It was all new hallways, new people, and new possibilities for disaster in Teeny Tiny Town, New York. It had been tiny towns and nowherevilles my entire life, as I was tugged around the nation by my writer-father's "firsthand research." He'd sold a few books when I was little, all small-town horror slams, and felt that living in small towns learning their superstitions, age-old legends, and unsolved mysteries would give him some much-needed inspiration.   
All that moving was giving me a tumor-like Chapter One- a love story

lolita, fire in my loins

Sun Jul 19, 2009, 5:45 PM
I'm reading Nabokov's "Lolita" and I absolutely LOVE it. Like, what I knew of the plot initially freaked me out (if you don't know, it's about an older guy who falls in love with a twelve year old girl and about his struggle with his pedophilia and about her quasi-seducing him and... well, i guess it gets pretty complicated quickly) but Nabokov is one of the most amazing writers I have ever read. The book was published in 1955 and while there are some books from that time period (like lord of the flies) I was extremely pleased by the language Nabokov uses- intellectual, with some words I've never read, but also clear in the meaning. And its clever, I could probably read passages over and over and pick out different language uses or hidden meanings each time. And English was his third language!

to sum it up, it's a really good book and you should all get it out of the library and read it!!!!

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving.
