"This
time it is not necessarily a career-oriented web site but a YouTube
channel (which is in fact, a website for videos) and it is called
‘Wisecrack’. Particularly interesting material for this channel and that
gives it all its funny flavour while learning is a funny man and this
is ‘Thug Notes: Classic Literature, Original Gangster’, a black dude who
provides a thorough analysis to every single literature classic
masterpiece.
It
is actually hilarious to see a book review/analysis is done with such
professional treatment, though, under an extremely colloquial tone. It
is as if someone exploits a 'seemingly uneducated' stereotype and puts
it in an academic field. It is counter-intuitive, at first, to see how a
fully-fledged expert provides such an insightful analysis in such an
unusual fashion.
Since
my major actually is on English Literature, it was a huge pleasure to
see, for example, how ‘1984’ is deconstructed under a point of view that
takes a dystopian character, at first sight, a human tragedy, and turns
it into a hilarious review. I highly recommend this channel for you to
have a good laugh".
What about you?
Cheers.
It sounds interesting the topic of the channel, i like the analysis with a bit of fun so I´m going to take a look at it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the recommendation. I enjoy watching videos of this kind while I study, and I was running out of them.
ReplyDeleteI went to take a peek at the channel you mentioned, and even though I didn't quite catch everything, it was entertaining to see how he talked hahaha
ReplyDeletethanks for the recommendation! it's nice to find a new way to learn and have fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI saw the channel and I found it very interesting! thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI like this kind of videos as well, but the ones I watch are about films, they are funny and interesting!

ReplyDeleteI have loved this channel, I have been watching their videos for more than an hour :D
ReplyDeleteThe channel sounds very interesting. I personally prefer to watch videos on youtube about reactions and musical analysis of songs, I like them more, although occasionally I watch some videos about reviews and analysis of movies and series, so this recommendation will definitely be on my "watch later" list.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the channel yet but the review you give generates a desire to know what the content of that website is all about.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your recommendation. It is greatly appreciated, and I find it refreshing as it goes beyond the usual. This is very entertaining for me.
