Can anyone tell me
the meaning of "parataxis"?
Anyone?
Parataxis is the technique Allen
Ginsberg experimented with...
in his seminal,
1955 poem "Howl."
Using starkly dissimilar images, he
juxtaposed them with no clear connection.
- This left the readers to make their
own connections... - [ Chuckles ]
Implied by
the paratactic syntax.
So he engaged the readers...
[ Chuckles ]
- To figure out his meaning.
- [ Chuckles ]
Samuel Beckett,
widely regarded as
one the most influential...
poets, novelists, playwrights
of the 20th century,
was an extreme proponent
of the paratactic form.
This from Beckett's
The Unnameable.
"The Place.
I'll make it all the same.
I'll make it in my head,
I'll draw it out of my memory.
I'll make myself a head,
I'll make myself a memory.
I have only to listen:
The voice will
tell me everything,
tell it to me again,
everything I need in dribs and drabs"...
[ Bell Rings ]
"Breathless."
Monday morning... Ginsberg's "Howl,"
parts one and two.
Be warned. It has
graphic sexual content.
I'll text you later.
[ Man ] Shannon.
- Bye.
Can I speak
to you for a moment?
Here's my recommendation.
Schneider's been hounding me
for your entrance package.
[ Squeals ] Thank you so much,
Mr. Allusen.
You are the best.
Mmm!
[ Chuckles ]
Where are you going?
Wellesley, I hope.
My mom went there,
so it's really important to her.
Thank you. Thank you.
Hey, what was that about?
The recommendation that Schneider
twisted his arm to get.
Maybe now my mother
can get off my back.
Oh. Lucky.
Scholarship?
Scholarship?
Are you kidding me?
This is just my mother's game.
She's an alumni,
and she's already made a donation.
- You don't want to go?
Peace has its price.
- Mm-hmm.
- What are you planning after graduation?
Oh, I don't know.
I'll just follow this body
to my own higher education.
What?
You don't mean that.
I don't have the pull, I don't have
the grades, so I'll use what works.
- Yeah?
- Hello?
Yeah, it's tonight at, um...
- 9:
00. Or should I do 8:00?- No.
- Yes. Bring everybody and anybody.
- She says 9:
00.- And bring everything.
- You're coming?
[ Sniffles ]
[ Exhales ]
[ Tapping ]
Come on.
Close the door.
So, and why did you
miss our meeting last week?
Don't know.
questionnaire I sent them.
Did you give it to them?
Sure.
Dylan.
Come on.
I did. I don't...
I don't know what they did with it.
Look, sweetie, I'm the only one standing
between you and Principal Malic expelling you.
You understand that?
Your grades have been
very impressive...
until this fall.
Tell me why.
What's going on?
[ Man ] If I didn't have him in the house,
things would have been fine!
[ Woman ] Do you want him to carry
that around for the rest of his life?
Listen to me.
Look at me.
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
There is nothing I can do if
you won't let me help you.
Is that it?
Yeah.
[ Chattering ] [ Man ] Gross.
Do you believe the math
assignment she gave us?
[ Man ]
Smile, my lovely princesses.

True.

- Oh, yeah.
[ Kim ] And who do we have here?
- Don't point that at me!
[ Chuckles ]
Don't do it. He's serious. He's so strange.
He's going to bust my camera.
He's not going to bust anything.
He's such a poser.
He can bust anything he
wants as long as it's me.
[ Chuckles ]

No, it's all rumors, Kim.
There's nothing to tell.
