Explanation

This blog is to be a compendium of (helpful?) essays and notes on things related to our syllabus. 'Our' referring to the ribald, pie-loving gang of UG-III, JUDE. Or Jadavpur University, Department of English for SEO. Overreaching juniors and mildly amused seniors too are most welcome to join in the festivities, of course.

I shall devote myself entirely to reading awesome (not the good word) tomes and critical essays that would put concrete to shame, fight the ogres of Academia with rusty (but trusty) sword, and sprinkle your answers with such examples of delightful imagery in ways that only a Virgo with a stunted social life can. And you shall have all this for free, and you don't even have to quote me like you do all those obscure East European critics.

Why do I do this? Why this sudden infusion of the milk of kindness, the true Christian spirit, such admirable altruism, you ask? Several good, solid reasons (the kind your answer sheets should be full of). One contracts the flu on a perfectly balmy summer day and one wonders how one is reduced from topping the country to dragging a 65% average in a span of two years. This angers one. Also, one sometimes needs shampoo. And shampoo costs good money, as you intellectual types probably are not aware of. 

One then inevitably reaches the eureka! moment. Why not start studying? Hmm, possible (though doubtful) solution to Crisis #1. What about money? Why not help out poor, drowning compatriots and have them pay for shampoo too? Yes, children. That is your job. I assume here you understand the concept of Pee Pee See.

NOTE: Reading this will not guarantee you graduating. Hell, it doesn't even guarantee me graduating. But here you're not paying a cent, really; unlike all those other websites around which charge you (in USD no less) for braindead answers that don't serve the purpose of the average English literature student. Based on your responses, this shall be continued. If you lurk but refuse to show some love back - everything folds.

I shall try and post full-length answers or at least notes drawing from class lectures, JSTOR articles, other secret academic resources I shall never part with. I'll keep posting useful links and reading lists. I shall sleep with thesauruses under my pillow and have neurotic attacks from reading too many Cliff's Notes (jus'kiddin) for you. Now make up your minds. Think or Thwim? In other words, do you pledge your fingers and mice to such a charitable cause? If yes, leave a whoop whoop.

One week to decide. Tick tick one.
