How to teach English Literature

[AProudLefty]

We also were forced to read "Cyrano, The Bugs Are Back."

I hated my teacher for making us read "The Lottery". It's good, mind you, but the ending was awful.

Nowadays, you have to go with the opposite of what you see.

True. Some people here see me as a retard.

Oh Lord, yes, I remember that one too. It was horrible. I don't know why they wanted us to read all that depressing stuff.

Some colleges are dropping literature as a major and some even entire English departments.

Well society is depressing. They're just letting us know gently before we graduate.

Now here we are on JPP full of retards.

I'll make the plot more interesting. OINK! OINK! Squish! Gasp!

I know what the movie you are thinking of.

Sure has a purty mouth.

Sure has a purty mouth.

Now you get it.

I can see why this one didn't make it into my school curriculum: It's got a bunch of naked little boys running around.

That wouldn't fly here.

All I remember is a few Shakespeare things and a few others.

We had to read that.

 

[AProudLefty]

We had to read that.

We need teachers who aren't snowflakes who coddle their students from harsh reality.

It was banned by a lot of school districts.

 

[AProudLefty]

Heh I remember when "Harry Potter" books were banned. What the actual fuck?

What makes you think he got through high school?

 

[AProudLefty]

I looked up for a list of hated or banned books. Apparently "The Color of Earth" angered some people for some reason. I never knew that.
