school stuff

Dear Teacher,

If I want to read about the devil disguised as a pedophile, I will go onto fanfiction.net and look it up myself. If I want to figure out the significance of all of the flies that surround said man, I will go read Lord of the Flies, a good book despite the cannibalism.

And if I want to highlight passages from said story, I will use my own color coding system, which makes more sense to me. See, the way I figure, dark colors should go with the theme of dark, and light should go with light. But no, not in your classroom.

One last thing before I get started: if you want us to start "peeling the onion" with these books and stories, please don't use real onions as examples. The smell is starting to make my eyes water every time I scratch my face.

Thank you.

"Where are you going, where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates. No, seriously, look it up it's so odd.

I want a cookie.

Hmm, hmm, I should. *reads it* Damn. This story is making me tired. Two sides to Connie? I want to bitch slap her. And her mother. *reads on*

They're double chocolate with chocolate chips in them. Yum.

Obviously the man is the devil come to seduce her, right? The flies, and all that. But what's with the Ellie guy? I'm confused by his purpose...does the devil have an accomplice? My head hurts now, and I'm reading it for the fifth time already.

.____. Yum.

Is Ellie Christ? *tilts head* He seems kinda like Christ. Deaf... and... getting in Arnold's way. That was the weirdest story I've ever read.

... yeah they're really good ._. I'll make you some when I come.

.__. Some books just should never be read or forced to be read. *nod nod*

Some english teachers are way too anal about the wrong things.

Gah...yay for school..

Sounds like one of my English teachers. She made us read Faukner(I don't care enough to try and spell his name right) all the freaking time. She was all, "HE IS LEIK FULL OF TEH SYMBOLZ!!!111"

So we were cursed to read is long and overly descriptive crap and I wanted to die @____@'.
