BS? Welcome to Literature.

Last year, my class was reading "The Awakening." The teacher was pissed that no one was doing the reading, so she picked someone random at the beginning of every class to lead discussion on the book for half an hour or so.

I hadn't read anything past the tenth page, and we were on page 80 or something by then. Guess who got chosen to lead discussion?

I panicked a bit at the beginning, but read about four sentences as I was walking to the front of the class, and threw out some last minute question about the imagery in the paragraph. During the five minutes when everyone was discussing my question, I skimmed the ten or so pages that we had been assigned to read the previous night. Then I knew enough about it to lead a somewhat legit discussion for the next 20 minutes.

I so had an A in that class.
