Hahah Tina I like this. I agree with McMurphy's question of why we stand for it? I'm not quite sure. I feel like whenever we complain about data sheets or english, all of our non-AP English friends ask us this. And we never have an answer. I feel like it's just accepted now that we complain and then end up doing our assignment. And, we are nuts, maybe because of AP English and for many other reasons as well.
ReplyDeleteTina, I really liked your blog! Algernon's response to McMurphy on line 13 made me laugh out loud. You also did a fantastically good job of making it one conversation from all the different quotes you used. I hard a hard time doing that in my blog.
ReplyDeleteTina, this is so funny! All of your quotes flowed so well together I really felt like all the characters could have been actually having this conversation in a real story. Algernon's quote about the literary criticism works perfectly. You did a really good job of portraying this scenario solely with quotes. Good job!
