My little sister has some essay she needs to write but is probably not gonna be able to have time do it so I'm calling on all you busto BBVers to help me, help her, here:

James Joyce wrote in august 1904 "I call the series Dubliners to betray the soul of that [...] paralysis which many consider a city." Joyce considered that Dubin society was characterised by a religious, political and provincial narrowness of focus, lack of direcion and identity that he characterised as "paralysis"

He also described his stories as "epiphanies" because they each involve some kind of moment of realisation for the main character.
Read all the stories in this collection then:

Choose two of the stories, explain the epiphany in each and show how each of them explores the theme of paralysis.

A link that could be useful: http://pinkmonkey.com/booknotes/monk...ubliners30.asp

800 words or so - the first person to send me an essay of accepted quality will receive $125 or 1 hour of coaching from me (I play mostly 3/6 NL 6-max and 1-on-1 currently, on FTP and Stars but my screen-names are secret - if you wish to receive the $125 payment via Stars/FTP/UB/AP/whatever, it will be sent via a friend's account)

From BBV Guidelines - (READ THIS BEFORE POSTING, IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE)

Quote:
-03/10- BBV is not your personal assistant. Do not come here looking for a task (cheap flights, looking for a tv, etc) offering to pay money. This creates headaches because a) people offering money don't pay people and broke railbirds come to the mods expecting us to enforce these bets; and b) it has NOTHING TO DO WITH POKER! Posting these threads from now on will result in locking and infractions and potentially bans.

For an hour of nlhe HU instruction from a solid player, i'd write it. graphs plz.
07-30-2008 , 03:01 PM
Yes, honestly, this would be a snap for me. Problem being, I do not trust you.

lol if u guys can be bothered to check I only occasionally post in random MSNL threads telling people how much they suck but ya yayaya I'm busto etc.etc.etc.

seeing as how many people are hesitating to do this, seems like it would be easy to be the first
07-30-2008 , 03:10 PM
it's a good thing you tell other people how much they suck or they wouldn't know that you're a degen

or what, they will ban me from 2p2? oh noes!

if I have still violated BBV rules, then I totally agree that appropriate action should be taken by mods etc.

what I'm trying to do is benefit everyone's situation, my sister's and the person who writes this for $125!

I have better tilt control than pretty much all HSNL regs I know but w/e

seeing as you're no longer looking like you're going to contribute, no real need for you to post here

and I'm not going to apologise for not having 2k+ posts and an insane 2p2 rep, I live in Europe and am not old enough to play WSOP yet and have really seen little value in posting a lot here (I don't want to make other regs play better!)

thac is a mod that could vouch for me if he remembers me.. if he needs to pm me he can

**** you
07-30-2008 , 03:18 PM
Im pretty sure I would do it but as others have said its pretty hard to trust you.
07-30-2008 , 03:18 PM
I have gold medals from the state of CA for essay writing.

Need you look further? Yes.. because I'm lazy and $125 isn't a lot of money!!11 1
