Disappointed in You.

In one of my classes we just read the Gertrude Stein essay “Composition as Explanation” and I had to write a “response”. I’ve posted it below. If you’re not familiar with Stein, she was one of those boho American writers living in Paris in the ;20s. She was played by Kathy Bates in “Midnight in Paris” (See? Now you’re all like, “Oh yeah, I remember that!” I’m so disappointed in you). She was big on repetition in her writing but like REALLY into it and she would write sentences that worked like mobius strips. Imagine if someone with a stutter was obsessed with the word ‘repetition’, that’s what her writing is like.
