oh sick! I love Frankenstein!! read it last year for school and wrote sooo many essays on it it was fabulous

It's incredibly sick! It's diseased and unhealthy! It's downright unwell!

My school for all it's benefits is a little bit horrible at exposing us to the classics so I'm taking it upon myself to read them on my own time, and the Frankenstein emails are just add a little fun to it all! It's nice to get to see others' thought and to supplement my own conclusions and thinking with that from others. Maybe I should join a book club hmm.

Anyway, I will not be writing any essays for any classes over Frankenstein--unless it comes up in a later college class, but for now I will be enjoying the experience :)

#quil's queries #when-wax-wings-melt #okay perhaps I'm being a little bit unfair to my school we have read a few things #but like the 'everyone's read frankenstein/dracula/the great gatsby in high school they're classics is a /lie/#i read all of those on my own!#you know what we read?#like 2 pages from divine comedy and a shitty modern translation of canterbury tales #i will give him macbeth. we did read that. and also beowulf. finished those #but they got part way through heart of darkness and just /stopped/#and did fuck all for the last weeks of the semester even when our entire class was asking to continue #he said this semester we were gonna read a few books #they've gotten half way through one in the past 3 months #i'm not confident in their finishing #so. i'm annoyed at the reading set up my teacher has #and his class in general #he's a nice person i just don't like his set up. it's like he isn't comfortable with the fact he's a teacher #he acts like a peer (because he's young) and wields almost zero authority over us #the only reason things happen like he plans is because we're mature enough to go along with it most of the time #cool person. not my ideal teacher #i need more structure than this steven (fake name)#so. point is I'm reading the classics on my own because school isn't providing them
