mild rant about english literature teaching 

amazon suggested I buy a copy of the old man and the sea and it reminded me how much I fucking hated that section of my english lit class

the book's fine, story of a bloke fighting a fish, kinda wanted the fish to win but whatever, good book

what I hated was the constant "THIS IS A CHRIST ANALOGY"
