I said that it's the only part of humanities that I respect. It's definitely harder to write a novel than doing **** with philosophy.
Not really. Philosophers actually think about some of the deepest questions that we have and try to make sense of the world around us, while all a fiction writer has to do is make stuff up.
Sorry, for being very rude. I just get very angry when someone criticizes maths and science, I'm very bad at chemistry and biology btw. First of all philosophy is not hard. Second, philosophy can't explain the mind neuroscience does. The only branch of humanities that I can respect is languages and literature other than that humanities is useless.
But you can't say something's hard if you've never tried it. I get annoyed when people say humanities are easy and have never studied any, when I spent hours and hours working for my A-levels (I did French, History and Politics btw). History involves tons of remembering facts, dates, names etc. As well as analysis and evaluation, it's not as easy as writing a few facts about what happened plus the questions are always really ambiguous. I'm going to study Politics and International Relations at uni, I guess it doesn't sound as impressive as physics or maths but it's what I'm interested in and what I'm good at. Plus I'm sure there are degrees far more useless than mine.
definitely English literature -> a complete waste of time in my opinion.
the author used the word blue because blue is the colour of the sky; thats it. it is by accident that blue is the colour of love and that the character happens to be in love... it is coincidence!
Really? I didn't catch it. Or were you trying to say that chemistry is iron-y? Because I Fe-el you there dude, trying to learn all the transition metal colours for my qualitative assessment tomorrow.
