I say this to my kids all the time.When I was a child I was told not to say I was starving when I was hungry because it was both incorrect and disrespectful because there were people in the world starving. If Jack was starving (which she wasn’t, hungry maybe) then it was entirely her own choice. Imagine explaining to someone who lived through a famine that you’d been ‘literally starving’ too, simply because you were too proud or stubborn to ask your loving family for food.
Quite. And if she is so adamant she was LITERALLY STARVING how come this loving supportive family did not notice? You can't hide that kind of thing.Hang on...in the Tortoise interview she mentioned being with both her parents around the time she was an unemployed, single mum on benefits. She was out with her Dad when she saw the local newspaper headline about Drunks and Single Mums are ruining the high street. And her Mum encouraged her to apply for the trainee journalist job. Is she actually saying that her parents left their daughter and grandchild to literally starve? Fuck off they did.
Yes I think an extract from A Girl Called Jack was used for students to analyse and pick apart, technically. It could have been any piece of text. Jack portrays it like she was GCSE study material in English Lit. The majority of GCSE students can write better than her, why tf would they study her 'work'??I think one of her shitty essays was used in a class in a school. Probably in a How Not to Write class.
Fair enough. Although I do wonder whether people like him and Frankie Boyle genuinely regret the nasty stuff they spouted in the early 00s when mean comedy was in style. Or whether they just saw the tide was turning and realised they’d never get any decent gigs if they didn’t go with the flow.
I doubt it was on the coursework because it was “good”.Yes I think an extract from A Girl Called Jack was used for students to analyse and pick apart, technically.

My yr 7 has a project on persuasive writing. Luckily they are studying a speech of Mala's. Then they have to write a letter asking their MP to do something about rising child poverty. Key techniques include alliteration and repetition which I guess Jack does do.I think one of her shitty essays was used in a class in a school. Probably in a How Not to Write class.
