Let CN bring what he knows to the table. That is where this branch of the discussion broke away. Kurt Vonnegut said once that he wished to tell a story without using any profanity. He said he had an important message to give, and he knew that many people would not want to hear the message. He said he also knew that if he used vulgarity of any sort, he would be giving those people the justification they needed to turn away from what was important. I haven't used any profanity either ~ so those who don't want to hear my testimony will have to find or fabricate some other reason to turn a deaf ear.

Preemptive scorn is scorn of self and fear of self-worthlessness! Why does Captain Neal doubt himself so? Spark Notes (similar to Cliff's): Summary - Act II, scene viii Le Bret argues that Cyrano is ruining his chances of becoming a successful man or a famous poet. Cyrano says he will live according to his ideals and that he has no interest in making friends with unworthy men. Suddenly, Christian enters. Your interpretation is a bit different. Where does the difference come from? Just an observation. Have you noticed how people automatically condemn things that challenge them rather than risking failure by accepting the challenge? Students do this routinely, claiming things they haven't mastered (read as: fear they cannot master), are stupid or unworthy. Cyrano and Captain Neal both exhibit this behavior. In the case of the latter, CN condemns me as unworthy because I have challenged his political point of view. He doesn't appreciate my opinion regarding our president's education reform initiatives, so he attacks everything from my writing style to my manhood. Whether either is lacking is irrelevant to the point of discussion. That, and only that, is my point in challenging CN. I've shared some of what I've experienced in America's public schools. Let CN bring what he knows to the table. That is where this branch of the discussion broke away. Kurt Vonnegut said once that he wished to tell a story without using any profanity. He said he had an important message to give, and he knew that many people would not want to hear the message. He said he also knew that if he used vulgarity of any sort, he would be giving those people the justification they needed to turn away from what was important. I haven't used any profanity either ~ so those who don't want to hear my testimony will have to find or fabricate some other reason to turn a deaf ear. I suppose a poorly focused paragraph works for CN. Scout |

Doug,
how did you come to have such an extensive background in literature? Scout "DSK" wrote in message .. . But aren't you mixing your metaphorical characters a bit too freely? I mean, Cyrano ne'er tilted any windbagmills no matter slow or fine they grind. Gilligan wrote: DE GUICHE (who has controlled himself--smiling): Have you read 'Don Quixote'? CYRANO: I have! And doff my hat at th' mad knight-errant's name. DE GUICHE: I counsel you to study. . . A PORTER (appearing at back): My lord's chair! DE GUICHE: . . .The windmill chapter! CYRANO (bowing): Chapter the Thirteenth. DE GUICHE: For when one tilts 'gainst windmills--it may chance. . . CYRANO: Tilt I 'gainst those who change with every breeze? DE GUICHE: . . .That windmill sails may sweep you with their arm Down--in the mire!. . . CYRANO: Or upward--to the stars! I remembered that part... one of my favorite pieces of literature... BTW aren't you afraid of invoking the Crapton's ire, quoting something that's not only "Theatah" but so blatantly French? Observe the above dialogue. Cyrano was not tilting at windmills, nor was he planning to. He was pointing oout De Guiche's error in assuming that Don Quixote's madness would inevitably lead to failure & humiliation... a veiled threat against Cyrano. DSK |
