General Criticism 2

I have finished reading general criticism two and it was very interesting. I basically proves that he didn't know squat about Zen. Having said this he attempted to interpret Zen principles and ideas in his story. Resulting in a very horrible use of the idea of Zen. Also, all his so called "Zen" ideas in this story are false, mixed up, made up on a whim, or plainly untrue.

The story is about a group of people that are having a conversation. The main characters are Ginnie Mannox, Selena Graff, and Miss Basehoar's.Ginni is more of a mean and rich girl. I don't have time to explain peace out! "That makes a dollar ninety you owe me,"
