Priorities, Part 2

I had to write an english paper on Pride and Prejudice. For those of you unfamiliar with the novel, consider yourself lucky. It is about some lady in 18 century spain or something who does something or other that there is absolutely no way a modern highschool male could relate to or care about. It is also written in the following style:

"The Bear, which was brown, the color of autunm in Derbyshire, considered by most the most prepentuous province in all of the southerly extremities of New South Devonshire, as it is the sole producer of intricate marmalade substitutes, those which the Prince of Pious Pine Grove often decorated his formalities with (being the bearer of false witness against his most recent recontrer, the imbominable Mr. Hollinsham, who was the son of Archduke Hollingsham (not to be confused with cardinal Hollygnsham, who, though unrefutably ingnanimous, could recite twelve score psalms from the book of Coherence without a single moments resolve)), ate the honey."


Seriously, its the same people who criticize my runon sentences who make me read this nonsense. The author gets on a (opposite/adjacent) mid sentance, and by the time they finish their thought, you forgot what it was in the first place.

N E How, i seem to have gotten off on a (sin/cos) myself, so let me tell ewe what eye wanted 2 tell u.

Well, i had to write a paper for this class anyhow, and I was saying something about how something something something. It bores me to think about it. any way, the sentance was talking about how lose ends were being tied up, and how without a section, the lose ends wouldn't be tied up. Well, heres what i wrote:

"Without this section, the audience would be deprived of his side of the story, and the loose ends would Knot be tied up."

Priorities:
1. Puns
2. everything else.

My teacher did Knot pick up on my pun and took off points, marking it as a spelling error. Meh.
