Answer 1

ok so what exactly do you need help with

Answer 2

Do you know why book such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. Youd find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more literary you are. Thats my definition, anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.


So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, Instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality. Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth? But when he was held, rootless, in midair, by Hercules, he perished easily. If there isnt something in that legend for us today, in this city, in our time, then I am completely insane.

91 Word Response
What I think of this passage is Faber is not only trying to teach people not to be like everyone else but he is preaching how everyone these days don’t do their own thing, they just play a game of follow the leader and it shouldn’t be like that. Faber is saying that we hide behind leaders but no one steps up to become one and that’s why Faber is saying in my personal opinion that everything is so corrupt these days and no one has anymore creativity.

What I think of this passage is that Faber is not only trying to teach people not to be like everyone else but he is also preaching how everyone these days don’t do their own thing, they just play a game of follow the leader and it shouldn’t be like that. Faber is saying that we hide behind leaders but no one steps up to become one and that’s why Faber is saying in my personal opinion that everything is so corrupt these days and no one has anymore creativity nowadays.
