don't remind me... those stories wre terrible in english class, she made e, TWICE as bad as just the story with her gay "what does this symbolize?" discussions
I had an English teacher in High School who just hated me. We would read some boring book or story, first question she would always ask was, "Why did the author wite the story."
I would always raise my hand and answer, "To make money."
Oh that would piss her off! I think she knew that I was right, and it just drove her batty that there was really a selfish/commercial motivation behind all of her beloved literature.
Funny thing is, I'm 39 years old now and have a 14 year old daughter who I have taught this to... She has been doing the same thing to her teacher, and it seems to drive her teacher batty too!
