You know what bugs me about my current literature class? We have to do these "Reading Responses" which sounds like something I'd normally be good at (ie. read this, write 2 pages about what you thought about it, drawing on previous reading from the course). But she gives us more specific stuff than that, and usually her specific stuff isn't at all what I want to talk about. I know she probably makes it more specific for people who aren't good at this kind of thing, but it annoys me because it means I have to B.S. something on her topic when I had more legitimate stuff I actually wanted to say on a different topic in the same reading. It's just... Argh. That's sort of what gets me about the whole class. I want a more open ended discussion in class too, but she keeps it very strict to questions she comes up with. I find her questions to be kind of superficial and not as open to interpretation as I would like. Tonight's is to compare Book X to Short Story Y with relation to the environment and character relationships and motives. I'd rather compare about the narrator of Book X and Short Story Y and how I think the perspectives of the narrators are kind of whacked, and how I sort of wonder what the authors are trying to say exactly being as they're both female writers with male narrators making lots of judgements on femininity (CONSTANTLY. Even Militant Feminist Me is getting tired of it and that's saying something).

CLAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS
