Re: Re:(Off topic literature)

One problem is that they didn't just teach the book and what happened or for

enjoyment but they dug into little things that may have been the point of the

author or maybe not.  Who decides?  I did okay but I sure didn't see some of

the things the teacher said was there, but I found I liked Shakespeare.  Had

slow spots but was interesting.  Couldn't enjoy it though because of how they

taught it.  Might have been right, but just not like it was just reading the

book for enjoyment.

Ann, that's a good question! I wasn't bored by a lot of it, I liked

literature a lot, but some of it was deadening even to me.

You sure nailed it on boring English classes. Too bad the titanic struggles

of good v evil with real superheroes in the Bible can't be used. I was

tortured in English class with BOTH The House of the Seven Gables and

Grey's Elegy in spite of a plethora of really great liteeature acceptable

to secular institutions. Why do they do that?
