Thanks a lot, Pain Boy.



 In Great Gatsby, it’s evident and agreeable that it had a very

eerie and somber ending. The murder of Jay Gatsby to the suicide of Wilson, it rather had a unpleasant conclusion. What people overlook however, is what started all of this predicament. What if Jay Gatsby never changed his name from James Gatz? What if Dan Cody never offered him a job? The plot that would’ve emerged would’ve diverged into a way unbelievable different. What if Fitzgerald never fully explained who James Gatz was and his full undisclosed story? Well one thing that was for sure not told about was the brother James had: Jayden “Pain” Paik. One could say he possessed one of the most rebellious nature and disposition known to mankind. And in Minnesota, he was known as “Corny boy” for his unbelievablely childish like behavior and the worst of all, his inhumane stench. Whenever he was in a 100m radius with an individual, everyone knew it was Pain; he also brought pain to people’s noses. One time it was said that he damaged someone’s olfacory epithelium, making him unable to have a sense of smell. It was all Pain’s fault that Gatsby went down this horrible path. If Pain, as a big brother, was there for Gatsby, he wouldn’t have went down this horrid path which ultimately led to his death. The reason Pain wasn’t there for Gatsby was cause he had been sentenced to life in prison. The crime he committed was public indecency: dressing up in a maid costume for Halloween—this actually happened in 8th grade. So in other words, it’s all Pain’s fault for all the deaths and the relationships that were broken because of his indecency. So I guess we all have to thank Pain, for ruining families and lives. Thanks a lot Pain Boy.

    LMAO that’s actually hilarious — it starts off sounding like a deep literary reflection and then just descends into chaos. The “olfactory epithelium” line and “Pain Boy” ending make it feel like a mock-serious parody of an English essay gone completely rogue. It’s like someone tried to psychoanalyze Gatsby and accidentally wrote fanfiction about his stinky brother.

    Daniel I appreciate you and all but this blog infuriates me. This isn't even a fanfic - I'm just getting roasted half the time. I hope you know this ruined my day and that i won't be talking to you anymore.

    Wow. This take on Pain Boy and the maid costume brought tears to my eyes. I've never seen anyone so good at dancing as Pain Boy. This origin story of Gatsby brought in a new perspective that truly enlightened me.

Identity

  This week, as we set down the graphic novel “The Best we Could Do” by Thi Bui, it is without a doubt that this book far exceeded my former expectations and challenged me to think abstract notions as well as the need to thoughtfully analyze and approach it multifacetedly: motifs, colors, specific pages, symbols, structure.     At the outset, my outlook on this novel was very superficial and simple. However, as Bui progressed through the respective journey of both of her parents, it struck me hard; the saying “like father like son” was indeed concrete: children are the temporary shadows of their parents. What they do and say is a reflection of a parent’s own identity—it is the parent’s duty to uncover and foster their children’s shadow so that they manifest their own identity. However, I also learned that it isn’t just the parents who carry this obligation: additional family members, friends, associates are all pivotal in the manifestation. In Thi Bui’s case, it was the f...

"Leave the game before the game leaves you"

  This week, we read an allegory-like piece called Marrying Absurd by Joan Didion. The short story explored the idea of marriage–specifically centered around Americans–and the transformation of meaning on conventional sentiments related to marriage. Didion starts off by unveiling marriage culture in Las Vegas; she makes clear observations and expresses her notions and sentiments towards it. Throughout the short story, Didion conveys marriage in American culture through the persistent use of reported experiences and examples to assert her argument: marriage is hollow. Although to some it may seem like Didion is “mocking” individuals that abide in these cliques, in hindsight, she’s simply and frankly portraying how Vegas is the transparent representation of American culture. In an extreme translation, Didion is claiming how this culture is the epitome of venality itself. This process of hollowing however, was neither natural nor inevitable primitively. It was through the craving of ...

What Could Have Been

  Last week in our English class, we started a graphic novel, exploring another genre like the classical Great Gatsby and the film Sweat. Although many have argued that graphic novels are not “real books,” this unavoidably proves these critics haven't yet encountered a novel like “The Best we Could Do” by Thi Bui. When I first got handed this book, Jayden and I were like an asian author=conventional immigrant story. We thought that the plot would be predictable, but we soon learned that we were everything but close to the truth. Starting from page 1, I noticed that Thi Bui was different. Up to chapter 6, it feels as if there’s a secret, or something she drew so that we’re able to analyze it and dive deeper. One prominent element she uses is the blood-like red and the symbol of swimming. In every page, it’s like there’s some sort of red smearing on something, and ALWAYS on Thi. I personally came to the conclusion that it most likely represents the emotional intensity from the war, f...
