By popular demand...
Is the following statment more related to Orwell, Conrad, or Faulkner? What do you think and why? Please respond using apt and specific references to the texts.
..."i think the system needs to pay attention and have some simpathy for older teachers and quit being paranoid because if a terrorrist really wants to enter all he has to do is to blow up the place with dynamite or an oozie, dahh!"

hahahahahaha sorensen's quote....
I think it's only fair to say that this statement pertains most clearly to Orwell's works. Beyond the lapses in grammar and spelling (among other literary aspects such as structure), this "passage", if you will, relates to Politics and the English Language and some of George Orwell's other essays in its nonchalant depiction of violent activities. Furthermore, the quotation could be correlated with 1984 in that there is a breakdown of nations into a few very large groups; the "unknown teacher" here ;) loses her sense of national pride in place of a mentality of "us" and "the terrorists". The only argument I can fathom against this passage pertaining most to Orwell would be the fact that it is a passage written in a stream of consciousness form, which would be more akin to Faulkner's writing (i.e. the ending with "...dahh!").
Faulkner... lotsa of, uhhh, dialect??
i am really simpathetic to her plyte. lyke seriously, all theze peeple with there oozies and dinamite coold totally lyke just walk in and shoot us all! I don't lyke being so inconveenyenced bye the inconsyderate skool administration. sumone shoold reely doo sumtheeng about dis. Dahh!
On a side note Mrs. Hire I think you are forever my hero for putting this up :) I will now forever laugh at the irony if I get made fun of for a spelling/grammar mistake in that class :P
I'd say it's like reading another chapter from As I Lay Dying. Kind of...stream of consiousness mixed with extreme emotions resulting in an outburst or nonsensical reasoning.
Did she actually write "dahh"? an interesting exclamation indeed.
I would definently say Faulkner...the only difference is that he had to try to think in that manner and it comes naturally for the teacher in question.
Adam is my new god for managing to make Orwell and 1984 work with that.
On first glance, however, I would have to say to agree with Faulkner as it's totally just thought-vomit in written form.
I would have to go on a limb and say it actually reminds me most of fitzgeralds style. The grammar and ideas are jumbled mixed in with advance and out of place ideas. Also the expression of emotion is just as cathartic as Fitzgerald provides :D. Awesome quote
