AP English Literature Exam Reading Day Seven: "Ignorancy"
Essays are a lot like dates--sometimes the bad ones are better than the mediocre ones, because at least after the bad ones you have a funny story to tell your friends.
That said, I hope I never find myself on a date with anyone this stupid. (I am actually considering establishing a writing requirement.)
"Ah, the one with the books. I really haven't read a good decent number of these books. But 'Pride and Prejudice' is one of my favorite movies."
"'Juno' is a heartwarming film with the Academy Award for best screenplay by Diablo Cody." (I'm still not sure what this has to do with 'Pygmalion.')
"Now I've just derailed my train of thought."
"People trust their tatoo artists too much." (Okay...)
"All people do not come from the same environment; everyone has different characteristics." (TRUTH.)
"In the world there are several different kinds of people." (So I think we should label them for easy reference.)
"Darcy is a good catch by any standard."
"Frankenstein good, monster bad."
"She is modest and very gentile."
"Him not knowing who is truly was was used to do things in the exchange of nothing else more than confusion."
And that seems like as good a place as any to be done...for another year.

Reading these make me sick. I can't believe anyone can be so stupid. May I ask why someone is quoting "Princess Bride" in their AP exam?
It reminds me of when I read one of my third grader's papers, meant to be a persuasive paragraph either for or against television--- it was all about red-eyed monkeys.
