		<description><![CDATA[I would give all my everything to some student who answered either &#039;62&#039; to every question, or taken something from:

http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/

“Class is fundamentally impossible,” says Debord; however, according to von Ludwig, it is not so much class that is fundamentally impossible, but rather the failure, and eventually the futility, of class. In a sense, if subcapitalist semanticist theory holds, the works of Burroughs are postmodern. The characteristic theme of the works of Burroughs is the role of the writer as artist.

Therefore, the premise of feminism suggests that culture is used to reinforce outmoded perceptions of sexuality, but only if subcapitalist semanticist theory is valid. Drucker implies that we have to choose between cultural nihilism and the neotextual paradigm of narrative.

It could be said that the main theme of d’Erlette’s essay on feminism is a self-fulfilling totality. The within/without distinction which is a central theme of Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs is also evident in Jackie Brown, although in a more mythopoetical sense.

Blah blah blah.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is silly. Chinese can&#039;t write essays! Whoever heard of such a ludicrous suggestion? Writing an essay requires thought. China, its education, its culture, its government, its &quot;everything&quot; is diametrically opposed to &quot;thought&quot;. Thus Chinese cannot write essays. Thank you for reading my essay...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nah, the Chinese Gaokao questions are harder. At least the French Bac questions can be understood.

How would someone answer this: &quot;Everyday we strive for what we think is important, but there are more important things in this world.&quot;

I can&#039;t even figure out the question and combined with the probability any attempt at an answer would need references to &#039;5,000 years of culture&#039;, harmonious society, sacred motherland and the self-sacrificing Communist Party of China. Not forgetting that Chinese essay style has an introduction as a conclusion and therefore no conclusion at all and contains nothing of any relevance except mindless patriotic drivel: it&#039;s a tough ask.

Hang on:

Six score years ago the evil Western running dogs were expelled by the moral and upright virtue of the CPA guided by the spiritual, almost godlike touch of our founding helmsman. This gave all Chinese, in the known universe equality and strength.  Although Rightists and Leftists have tried to smear our loving founder with revisionist slurs, truth will always emerge. The Party loves and cares for us all. We are all equal under the banner of freedom.

Single-handedly the glorious CPC defeated all enemies and has kept invaders at bay. Without the Party&#039;s guiding light we would once again be slaves of imperialism: Chinese people would be imprisoned in work camps without trial, placed under surveillance and even tortured under the oppressive yoke of foreign invaders.

Therefore the Party is China and China is the Party, for over 5,000 years all Chinese have been united in the bosom of the sacred motherland and have never been conquered or defeated. Solely because of the CPA sacrificing everything for the people we now live in a harmonious society and these things are more important than other important things.]]></description>
