my class was discussing the short story today so we can get a feel for it since we're supposed to make an illustration for it and i accidentally channeled my inner literary analysis snob like its 12th grade english class again

#i know i said i was confused abt the story when i read it literally an hour before class started #but i WAS thinking abt it #and then my professor was talking abt it and every thing she said i was like NO??#she kept saying shit and in my head im like i dont agree with that at ALL omg #so i spoke up like this is what i think abt it actually #and then she derailed me and we stated discussing something pedantic and she was like i just dont want you to focus on this one aspect bc i #its not the main point #like yeah i know and im NOT she just derailed me ajd i absolutely had to correct her thinking 😭#the dead silence as i argued back and forth w her.....#someone spoke up to and said something else and i was like yeah yeah i agree #and afterwards he was like i dont want you to think i was like disparaging what you were saying bc i actually agreed with a lot of what you #were saying and i felt so vindicated #i was like no dont worry u made excellent points too im just argumentative #that was great tho i havent had a literary analysis discussion in a while #love arguing with teachers its my favorite passtime #michi tag #the story is rot by joy williams btw #professor kept saying she didnt think it was grooming and i was like ?????????? thats the pedantic shit we were arguing abt #like yes the grooming aspect is not the actual poimt but its lile a part of it that makes up the whole #and saying its not grooming i think undermines the rest of the story but whatever again not the point #just bothered me that she said it wasnt when it clearly is but whatever #dont even remember what i was originally trying to say anymore she seriously derailed me #by the end i was like why are we even discussing this 😭
