What is up with English Teachers these days with wanting you to analyze every sentence in a novel to make it mean something so bizzare? Well I'm tired of it. Probably in the next 5 years elementary kids will start having to analyze.Then what will the world have come to? It would probably sound something like this...

Dr. Seuss-

Sam I am: I like green eggs and ham.

Student(who is reading): Cool, Sam eats green eggs and ham.

English teacher: Why does Sam eat green eggs and ham?

Student: I don't know, because he likes green eggs and ham?

English teacher: No...that's not why.

Student: Well I don't know.  Why don't you just tell me?

English teacher: The green represents the earth.  Sam is eating the world.

Student: What The Crap!?!?  You just made that up!

Just wait...it'll happen.
