english classes are bs!
Okay, since it is FINALLY summer, I’m finally out of school and out of mai horrid Honors English class. Why is it that to be in Honors English someone has to pretend to LOVE analyzing shit to death?? And the teachers… they may be nice and all that… but do they really BELIEVE the shit they’re saying?
I have a tonna examples, talkin about the stupid students AND the stupid teachers. This isn’t even all of it. I can rant for hours.
Symbolism shit ~ Okay. So maybe the author put in SOME little thing for symbolism. Unless it comes straight from the author’s mouth though, do we know exactly what the heck he or she is trying to say?? Iss stupid that when someone decides to speak up in class and juss because the teacher doesn’t agree with it, that they juss say “uhh… no.” (Sherry’s teacher) and start ranting about their own ideas. Talk about self-righteous. Anyhoo. I used to write a lot of stories (cuz I wanted to be a writer)… and I still do write fanfics sometimes. And sometimes I’m juss in a mood to throw in things here and there… and for mai LAST fanfic, Contemplation, I realized that yeah, someone could interpret symbolism in it… but… everyone interprets things differently… so who’s to say what’s right and what’s wrong as far as symbolism goes?
Opinionated teachers ~ Oh. Speaking of that self-righteous crap… for argumentative essays… teachers swear that it just matters on how well yoo argue your point and not WHAT your point is. Bullshit. There is one chapter of Grapes Of Wrath that all Steinbeck does is rant about how EVIL the machines in the world are and back during the Dust Bowl all they did was ruin people’s lives. And mai teacher generalized that to say that the author felt ALL machines were evil. Okay. So I wrote an essay saying that it was a buncha bullshit… Steinbeck could not POSSIBLY have thought all machines were evil like she said… I mean it is impossible to find a person that HATED machines and never used them now… and back then the case was the same. I said that Steinbeck was juss using hella metaphors in that chapter to make it SEEM like he believed that and that he didn’t really. It makes sense right? People try to use fancy words and fat metaphors in stories to make themselves sound better. He claimed the “machines were raping the land” and used hella sexual references… I’m juss like WTF… this guy is a pervert… and mai teacher tells mee that “If yoo keep this up yoo’ll fail your AP exams”… like I give a f*ck if it is all this kinda BS. I’d rather let mai opinion be known than to be all fake like the rest of the people in mai class who just make up shiet to kiss ass and make themselves sound ‘educated’.
If yoo don’t AGREE with it, dun say it!! ~ Well, I’m one of those people who never talks in mai English class discussions because I think they’re stupid. They’re just a buncha people trying to compete with each other in how much vocab they can use and how smart they can sound. The like ONLY tym I talked was when we got on some odd tangent and some guy said, “Well… does that mean just because they’re crazy we’re supposed to lock them up? Just because we deem them unsafe they have to be confined to cells?” (And no one in this class sided with him, okay?) So, I was like pissed because I hate that mofo to begin with, so I’m like “So do you think we should juss let a whole bunch of murderers go running around?” And the guy was all surprised cuz I never say anything in that class… and he was like, “No… I was just saying.” I’m like HELLO FoO!! WHY ARE YOO SAYING IT IF YOO DON’T EVEN AGREE WITH IT? Whateva though… ^_^ Thas the end of mai ranting for the day!
