That is the 10th one. Bombay, you sure this nigga is not high on something. He enjoys the punishment.

Continue repeating yourself until you grow wise enough to bow down to me.

I can have mercy on you if you accept your defeat. You have a choice.

Your next post will determine if you want my mercy or not.

You're just pained that I owned, blinded and outshined you leaving you helpless. grin grin
Re: Why Africans Hate Nigerians So Much by iconize(m): 6:41pm On Oct 08, 2014
Consider yourself a sore loser if you can't answer that.

Meanwhile, the illiterate in 3D grin grin

hifaif:
Two mentions from a dead man. I thought I killed you. Maybe, I should lay your ghost to rest.

1. Bring out the post where I said DETERMINANT and DIFFERENCE mean the same thing.

2. Since you wanted me to answer (without rephrasing) a question as daft as DETERMINANT OF A NOVEL, tell me how you will answer if somebody asked you for the DETERMINANT OF WATER.

In all sincerity, can you answer that question without rephrasing? Or better still, answer the question:

WHAT ARE THE DETERMINANTS OF WATER?
Oh! He's back for more pummeling. grin grin

When I asked for the determinants of a novel, you provided the differences of a short story and a novel and argued it to be right.

hifaif:
http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-difference-between-novel-short-story-54613
These are the arguments you made about it; grin
hifaif:
Alright, just so you can understand the link, I will explain patiently.

The only difference is size (length). All differing factors are due to length.

In a novel, there is enough space to introduce multiple subplots but as for a short fiction, you need to economize words.

Technically, they have the same elements. The only difference is length.
He even called it senseless here; grin grin
hifaif:
Alright, I figured you think you have proven to be intelligent. When you wake up tomorrow, your head should be light enough to explain your determinant nonsense.

I had enough common sense to understand that you meant what distinguishes a novel from other forms of fiction.

Ordinarily, every sane person (except you) know that the statement 'the determinant of a novel' is senseless. More like asking for the determinate of water.

Good morning.
And after getting pummeled, he answered the question though still confusing himself; grin

hifaif:
Plot, characterizations, themes, scenes etc. But these same factors also make a piece of art a novella. In the end, it is only size that determines a novel from a novella.

So?
At the emboldened; I asked for what determines a novel not what makes it different from a novella. grin grin

And here, he got lectured; grin grin
iconize:
You foolishly placed determinant and difference as two words with the same meaning, you even argued it talking "context, blah blah blah"

In which ever context you decide to use determinant, it absolutely has no reconciliation with the word "difference".
Now boy tell us, in which context can one use "difference" in a sentence to replace "determinant" and still have it serve the same purpose? grin grin grin grin
Re: Why Africans Hate Nigerians So Much by Nobody: 6:50pm On Oct 08, 2014
Hey, iconize, while you are busy serving your punishment, I want you to look at this line from my Buddha:

You shouldn't argue with:

Psychological deception: You should not hide behind
rhetoric, obfuscations and semantic distortions to
give the impression of sophistication.

You, iconize, were guilty of rhetoric, obfuscations and semantic distortion (In the case of DETERMINANT)

I give you a minute to look at it after which you must return to your punishment.

Re: Why Africans Hate Nigerians So Much by Nobody: 7:05pm On Oct 08, 2014
Iconize, I got this from the same Wiki that listed CAR as a novel.


Length

The novel is today the longest genre of narrative
prose fiction, followed by the novella, short
story , and flash fiction. However, in the 17th
century critics saw the romance as of epic
length and the novel as its short rival. A precise
definition of the differences in length between
these types of fiction, is, however, not possible.
The question how long a novel has to be, in
order to be more than a novella, can all the
same be of practical importance, as most of the
literary awards have developed a ranking
system in which length is a criterion. [note 2] The
Booker Prize in 2007 created a serious debate
with its short-listing of Ian McEwan 's 166-page
work On Chesil Beach , with some critics stating
that McEwan had at best written a novella. [note
3]
The requirement of length has been traditionally
connected with the notion that a novel should
encompass the "totality of life".

[quote author=iconize post=26975764][/quote]Guy, give up. The argument was if CAR was a novel. For you, a literature ignoramus, CAR is a novel.

One day, you will learn never to argue blindly.

Anyone with a sense of shame would quietly leave. Or do you have something to lose?

At least, now you know that CAR is not a novel.
