Or so it would appear, things can change. But as it stands now my English 28C class looks like it will be very interesting. The topic will be on Monsters, or the idea of something monstrous. One of the Texts for class is Frankenstein which I've yet to read. I just finished reading the first assignment which was a short story by Nathanial Hawthorne called Rappaccini's Daughter. It was really cool. Finally I get assigned some dark and twisted (and fun) texts as opposed to that ^&*#^%@%#* Shakespeare.
That is really kewl about your class and it sounds like a really kewl class. I hope your teacher turns out to be as kewl as the class. Sometimes a teacher can ruin a perfectly enjoyable subject. Good luck with it. Let us know who it goes!
I must admit, I think that the STORIES of some Shakespear are great regardless of the language or how cheesy the story is presented. I still love the stories of Othello, Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream etc... but I'll still take an Indiana Jones movie any day. -J
