A marvelous tale; told by a man who knew about hunting and what it really meant. I have met several majestic elk that I could have shot at with my bow; I declined as I did not want to injure them. I’ve read this several times and still find it alive and fresh! Thanks for uploading.

The biggest bear I ever saw was face to face, 6-8 inches and a pane of glass between us. He looked as if he’d just been shampooed and he smiled at me. I went outside to talk to him but when I saw that a claw was bigger than my hand, I decided to stay behind the illusory safety of the window even though he seemed interested in conversation. So we continued just smiling at each other.

[@dubonmot6407]

lol that was a good line you drew in your silent conversation with the bear. What a cool and crazy experience! Thank you for sharing!

make a venmo or cashapp to make it easier for students to donate :)

[@mariedowney1676]

good job narrating but monotone, give more emphasis

[@theresahemminger1587]

Actually, the reader’s tone complements faulkner’s stream of consciousness style of long, long run-on sentences which reduces the sense of a storyteller telling a story and increases the sense of internal experience. I do love Faulkner.

[@dubonmot6407]

I definitely was going with trying to follow the Faulkner flow. Thank you for listening and commenting! Please like the video and subscribe if you get the chance to!

I’ve tried getting into fiction my entire life. This was my final attempt.

There's lots of good fiction out there! What kinds of stories do you like+

[@aguy559]

@@Shivimad1dubonmot The less artsy and emotional, the better. But this just is just so nebulous and melodramatic that it doesn’t seem to connect with reality. Reality is direct, plain, and generally boring. Fiction writers tend to want to spruce it up and that’s what I don’t care for. For my tastes, they would do better to speak plainly so I know what they mean. It’s like when I’m in an art gallery trying to figure out what I’m the hell is going on in the paintings. Just tell me what you mean; that’s the best form of communication.

[@dubonmot6407]

@@aguy559 That totally makes and I feel you--I've never been much a fan of literary classics myself in terms of like holding them up above all other fiction. I do really love what good literary fiction can do, but popular fiction can do the same as well when it's good. I agree too that sometimes the language feels outdated and intentionally obtuse, but it is tough to distinguish that sometimes between that and actually good prose. For example, I recently read Wuthering Heights and while it's not my usual cup of tea, I really enjoyed the simple story told dramatically with complex, yet very enjoyable and lyrical prose. Anyway, it is totally fair if you don't like literary fiction but I would also look into popular fiction! For example, the first author I really enjoyed was Stephen King. It and The Shining are such classics! I was also reading a fun book called My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix. The Game of Thrones books are solid. The Harry Potter series is solid. Other Stephen King books are pretty solid. The Lord of the Rings is supposed to be good. There's tons of great fiction out there--it's just figuring out what you like!

Try Barn Burning if you want to try Faulkner. He is a big run-on sentence.

[@aguy559]

@@michelleh2672 We read that, or a shortened version of it, in college. It was depressing, but not a bad read overall.
