From plot

I always think that message reads "can I know the plot without reading the book?"

― My Little Ruud Book (Ken L), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

But I guess I had basically made that joke already on this thread

― My Little Ruud Book (Ken L), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, for some reason I read that as a reference to a film version of the book: "Can I know the plot of the novel without seeing The Dawn by Stevan Javellana?" Like it's some sort of meta-textual questions about whether reading the primary text is enough, suggesting that one can't really know the plot without experiencing adaptations and secondary points of view.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

"Can I know the plot without reading the book?" Discuss the question from a structuralistic point of view, comparing the insights of later theorists, notably the deconstructionists.

Paper, minimum of 3000 words, due Monday.

I think it's rather curious that my posts here have not been archived by Google. In fact, so far as I can see, all of the posts up to mine are archived, but mine isn't, nor are those afterward which address mine (though I didn't systematically check all of the latter). A Web search for "ilx "i love books" diachronic pooftah" (interior quotes included in the search string) turns up a hit for this Q&A thread, but neither my email address (contained in full in the text) nor words particular to my reply, result in a hit when added to the search string.

at least that one is polite, if calling a man ma'am isn't impolite.

Oh, the board has apparently caught onto this amazingly clever idea of mine already.

Last night I fell asleep doing my homework and I dreamt I went to Manderley again.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 10 September 2007 14:37 (eighteen years ago)

Please to tell where Manderley is.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 10 September 2007 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

I've been looking for a Manderley for Evah!

― Skrik, Monday, 10 September 2007 16:43 (eighteen years ago)

To discover the whereabouts of Manderley, one has only to watch the Bob Hope & Bing Crosby & Dorothy Lamour film: On the Road to Manderley. I think it includes one of those 'crawling line across a map' graphics that charts the progress of our heroes o'er land and sea.

By curious curiousity I worked with a Muhammad Nayab who got his degree from guess papers.

― what U cry 4 (jim), Sunday, 26 October 2008 03:06 (seventeen years ago)

Wikipedia's plot summary is extremely helpful: "Stevan Javellana's Without Seeing the Dawn was all about the village and the man, the man who lived on the farm but became a rebel when one of the land owner betrayed the farmers. He tried the life on the city, but it was never easy for them."

No, it never was. It really never was. On the city.
