    Jesus fuck, you censor the word “motherfucker” but leave the author’s name intact?

      The water mark makes me believe whatever BoredPanda is got some rights to share the tweet and they censored mother fucker, but maybe the tweeter didn’t care to have their name censored.

      I’m curious how 1984 is AP Lit. We read that years before AP classes were even available… Does that mean they get college credit for reading Orwell now?

        The difficulty of texts from AP literature versus my honors English courses prior to it weren’t very different. And no, you got college credit for completing the AP exam which involved reading passages and writing essays, not merely reading Orwell lol.

        There are university classes analyzing children’s picture books. It’s not about the difficulty of the book, it’s about the level of the analysis.

        1984 is quite unique as a piece of fiction, since almost a third of the book is an appendix about language and history. It’s an excellent book to analyze.
