Cherry rants about english class

1. when u read books like 'great expectations' or 'romeo and juliet'

okay i get these are supposed to be literary classics and all but NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT ANYMORE! i mean it's hard to read a book and comprehend it when u can't understand half the shit that's being talked about in the book. why can't we read more modern classics... like ones that were written in the 20th century? or at least books that use a vocabulary that teenagers nowadays can understand?

2. when ur in honors english but most of the kids in ur class are stupid

we were having a conversation about the middle east in my HONORS english class which is supposed to be for smart kids when this girl named rachel said 'oh yeah we live in the middle east don't we?'

we live in the midWEST of the UNITED STATES not the middle east of the fucking globe

n then we were having this story read aloud to us and two girls behind me were like 'lol i didn't pay attention to that idk what to write' when we had to identify the conflicts

like um the story was read ALOUD to you!!! how much easier does it get omfg

3. when u have to read an ungodly long amount of pages in a book but aren't given any time in class to read it

um no thanks i don't really want to be reading 19th century "classics" on my own time bc they fucking suck

i have to read great expectations now and it's so boring omfg why do we have to read this shit it's not even good

4. when ur assigned to read a book but u can't pick one that's been made into a movie

um most books have been made into movies? it's p fukin hard to find a book out there that hasn't been made into a movie nowadays bc nobody is coming up with any good ideas for movies and they're just making books into movies or remaking old movies
