I’m saying they didn’t do a good job of conveying mature emotions. Anyone who can relate to their work has the emotional intelligence of a pre teen. A lot of Americans are stuck in that phase.

Oh no. Some terminally online brainrot poster wants to be a prick. Lol. You’re such a loser.

I don’t like them, but they’re also bad and unintelligent. Those are objective. Sorry if someone not liking a vapid old guys who can’t write their way out of a paper bag makes you feel attacked.

If the CEO of Bob’s Store hired Senator John’s son then suddenly zoning issues disappear for his new space. The CEO of Bob’s even donates to several fundraisers for Senator John and makes donations to charities he knows John is a part of. John uses this information to inform his decision on who gets a cushy position position at the charity and if Bob’s competitor will be allowed to expand.

It wasn’t true. It was used to disguise crumbling profits as American shopping habits changed out of necessity.

I know it’s not a popular take, but I don’t like Poe or Hawthorne. I always felt like their shallow exploration of death/edgy topics really only appealed to the immature or unintelligent reader.

I can see their work on a shelf between The Nightmare Before Christmas and a Dashboard Confessional CD- maybe a Jr High textbook as well.

I wouldn’t use them as an example.
