today, while grading a student's reading response to To Kill a Mockingbird, i found this little gem:
"Everybody in this book is kinda racist. Actually, pretty much everybody today is racist.
My whole group told me that it would get better eventually if I keep reading. To be honest, I wasn't gonna read it; I was gonna sparknotes it. But no I didn't! I knew that doing that is cheating and that Ms. Salinas wouldn't be proud!
...Atticus is defending a black guy named Tom Robinson. Tom is accused of raping Mayella Ewell. In the beginning of the court, everything wasn't too exciting or interesting.
Later on as I keep reading, Atticus was like PWNING Mayella by asking a series of questions."
that's right. that's why Atticus is my favorite literary character of ALL TIME.
because he PWNS.
