Jodie's literary professor at last commented on the song book some time later, after the class was over.
"The academy this person runs is a cult, and the students in it needed to seek mental health, not a fake doctor."
Is a Ki Master a thing?
"No. If she were Buddhist, she would not think that. She would think nothing at all, and let thoughts wash away, no crate reality."
Is the Korean cribbed from something you can identify?
"Yes, it is from a Korean English learning book printed in South Korea. Most of the phrases in the songs she wrote are just phrases meant to be learned phonetically and then changed to English. It's almost as if she doesn't write Korean 'sounding words' in English well at all. Ironically."
Like a tourist guide? Or an elementary schoolbook?
"Schoolbook. It's basic pronunciation."
Well, she did speak Korean quite verbally. Perhaps it was hat she stayed in the US so long she became rusty.
"You see, Koreans who seek fame tend to overcompensate and exaggerate their importance. It's what they do there. Not all. The ones that are important. Self important. Church leaders, politicians, those in high office, CEOs and cult leaders."
How could she have mixed up dog lover and cat lover?
"Ha! I do not know. They are very different in Korean."
Does an honorary doctorate from a literary school in Korea and an award from a satellite school in Korea make you an actual learned doctor? I know the answer. No.
"Anyone pretending to be a doctor of letters who is making money off that is a fraud. No, it will not make them a doctor."
The unnamed professor retired with the close of the semester. Heh.
Jodie barely passed.
